Welcome to our Alicia Blanche Build Guide for Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE.

In this guide, we will explain how each one of Alicia Blanche’s skills work and how best to use them. We will provide more general tips for how to get the most out of Alicia Blanche.

We will also include a build guide for Alicia Blanche. While Hunter builds aren’t as widely customisable as Sung Jinwoo, you can still customise your equipment and level up your skills. We’ll walk you through these so you can find the best items and prioritise the best skill upgrades first.

Please note that this guide is currently a work in progress. It will be updated over the course of Arise Overdrive’s early access period and following on from the full launch of the game.

Alicia Blanche Skill Overview – SL Arise Overdrive

Work in Progress.

Basic Skills

Touch of Winter

Alicia attacks the enemy with summoned ice crystals.

You can chain Touch of Winter up to four times – each attack in the chain takes a different form. The first two are single-target projectiles. The third fires five crystals in an arc, and the fourth is an AoE crystal that lands on the ground. This is a versatile basic attack that’s great for single-target and AoE situations.

Frost Arrow

Heavy Attack. Alicia attacks the enemy by piercing them with multiple ice fragments.

Summons an ice AoE under the target. This does good AoE damage and it’s decent against single targets, too.

Winter Storm

Alicia teleports in the input direction, decreasing her damage taken, but when she’s hit once it applies an effect that removes the Ice Body Armor effect and summons an icy whirlwind to attack enemies.

Press Q to activate Winter Storm. You will teleport in the input direction, gaining armour that protects you against one hit and spawning an icy whirlwind to do AoE damage. This is a great mobility skill and it works great when there are lots of enemies around. Just be careful not to jump into a dangerous spot.

Ice Needle

Alicia creates multiple ice pillars, granting Ice Body Armor to allies in the area and dealing damage to enemies.

Press E to activate Ice Needle. This is another good AoE skill that impacts enemies over a very large area. You also grant Ice Body Armor to nearby allies.

Special Skills

Ice Detonation

Alicia attacks the enemy by creating a large icy terrain area that detonates. Has a high chance of inflicting Cold Ice when attacking enemies. 

As a Support Skill, Ice Detonation can only be used when Alicia Blanche is supporting Sung Jinwoo. It is triggered when Sung Jinwoo uses Smash 2 times or when nearby enemies have the Stagger Gauge.

Eternal Frost

QTE Skill. Alicia creates an explosive ice field to damage enemies, granting 3 instances of the Frost effect and significantly increasing the entire team’s Elemental Reaction damage for a long period of time. 

Eternal Frost is automatically activated when you switch to Alicia Blanche using Left Shift (when prompted). Make sure you are in a suitable position to hit enemies with the skill before you make the switch.

Ice Storm

Synchro Chain. Alicia creates midair ice fragments and launches them toward the enemy.

Ice Storm is Alicia’s Synchro Chain skill, so it will be activated when you press T when prompted. All Hunters in the group will use their Synchro Chain skill at the same time, typically dealing a large burst of damage when used properly.

Absolute Zero

Ultimate Skill. Soaked by the rain and flooded with the sorrow of loss, her memories take flight and a freezing chill spreads that inflicts guaranteed Cold Ice on enemies.

Press R to activate your ultimate when it is fully charged. Absolute Zero is guaranteed to freeze nearby enemies, giving you a respite and a window to create more havoc with your AoE skills.

Unique Skills

Dash Combo Attack

When tapping the Basic Attack Button after performing Dash, the user can use Dash Combo Attack. 

Back Dash Combo Attack

When tapping the Basic Attack Button after performing Back Dash, the user can use Back Dash Combo Attack. 

Deflect Combo Attack

When tapping the Basic Attack Button after performing Deflect, the user can use Deflect Combo Attack. 

How to Play Alicia Blanche

Thanks to her immense AoE power and ability to repeatedly freeze several enemies at once, Alicia is arguably the most powerful spellcaster in Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive.

As with all ranged characters in Arise Overdrive, you must get to grips with kiting and aiming to properly utilize Alicia’s skills. You have to kite a lot because Alicia doesn’t have any melee staying power, but you must remember that any spell you cast goes in the direction that Alicia is facing, so if you try to cast a spell while running backwards, the spell will go backwards regardless of where your camera is pointing. To solve this, quickly tap W to face the enemy before casting your spell, after which you can continue kiting if needed.

Alicia’s Overdrive ability is integral to her playstyle. When used, she will dash forward and freeze herself, becoming invulnerable. A blizzard rages around her, dealing damage over time to nearby enemies and freezing them with the last tick. It is then often a good opportunity to follow up with more AoE spells. The only downside of this Overdrive is that you can sometimes get hit by a ranged enemy attack as soon as your invulnerability ends (there is a window of around 1 second between the end of your invulnerability and regaining full movement).

Alicia’s Frost Arrow can be enhanced by using the third stage of Touch of Winter or any of her other Basic Skills. The enhanced version summons a random number of ice spears from the sky, dealing extra damage.

To regain Alicia’s overcharge, keep using Frost Arrow against enemies. The skill also has a small chance to freeze an enemy solid.
