If played properly, she can wreak havoc in all stages of the game, but she does most of her damage in the late game when her sustainability shines the brightest.

In this ONE Esports guide, we will delve into Alice’s gameplay, providing you with a good look at her abilities, strategic approaches, and actionable tips to maximize her potential.



Alice’s skills in Mobile Legends

Passive – Blood Ancestry

Alice restores a percentage of her Max Mana per second, which increases to a certain percentage limit when in combat against enemy heroes. Each time Alice levels up, her Movement Speed and HP Regeneration increase.

  • This is what makes Alice a powerful core hero. It allows her to absorb blood orbs from fallen minions which adds to her health points and magic power.
  • It also gives her an early-game advantage since essentially she will have more uptime whether she is played in the lanes or the jungler role.


First skill – Flowing Blood

Alice casts a sphere of blood energy in the target direction, dealing Magic Damage to enemies in its path. Use Again: Alice immediately teleports to the blood sphere’s location.

  • This is the hero’s primary engage and disengage ability since you can choose to teleport to the blood sphere in an instant.
  • This skill separates her from other mages who often lack mobility skills.


Second skill – Blood Awe

Alice deals Magic Damage plus a percentage of the target’s Max HP as Magic Damage to nearby enemies and immobilizes them for a quick duration. After the immobilize effect ends, the targets will be slowed for a couple of seconds.

  • This ability works synergistically with Flowing Blood. After casting your first skill, teleport to the middle of the fight and activate Blood Awe for quick crowd-control.
  • More than being a soft crowd-control spell, it is also another layer of Magic Damage that can help expedite farming.


Ultimate – Blood Ode

Alice enters the blood-draining state, consuming Mana while dealing Magic Damage to nearby enemies every fraction of a second. She also recovers HP each time she damages an enemy hero. For each non-Minion enemy hit, the cooldown of Flowing Blood and Blood Awe is reduced.

  • This ability shines in team fights, where Alice can sustain herself while wreaking havoc on her foes.
  • Activate this ability after engaging with Flowing Blood and controlling the crowd with Blood Awe to hit multiple enemies.

A comprehensive guide on how to play Alice in Mobile Legends

Recommended battle spell

Alice is a versatile hero pick who can be played as an EXP laner or gold laner.

Flicker is one of the best battle spell options for her because it enhances her already strong mobility and positioning.

Alice is a mage-tank hybrid who relies on getting close to enemies to maximize the potential of her abilities. Flicker allows you to either engage or disengage more effectively.

You can use it to quickly blink into the middle of a team fight, surprising enemies and locking them down with her Flowing Blood and Blood Ode combo. Alternatively, Flicker can be a lifesaver, allowing you to escape dangerous situations or reposition yourself in battles.

You can also opt for Vengeance. Aside from the damage reduction which boosts your survivability in team fights, it also allows you to return damage to enemies as Magic Damage which permits you to play more aggressively even as a mage.

Recommended Emblem

Take the Mage emblem to get additional Magic Power, Cooldown Reduction, and Magic Penetration. Thrill, Festival of Blood, and Impure Rage are excellent choices for talents because they significantly enhance her survivability, damage output, and sustain during fights.

For your first talent, select Thrill to get an Adaptive Attack boost which helps you clear waves faster and trade blows in the early game.

Festival of Blood gives you an additional spell vamp as she secures kills and assists. Since your abilities already have good built-in lifesteal from her passive and ultimate, Festival of Blood enhances your sustain even further.

Finally, choose Impure Rage as your main talent. This ensures that when you deal damage with skills, you deal extra adaptive damage which scales with your level and restores a percent of your mana.

Since Alice is mana-dependent, Impure Rage increases her sustainability remarkably.

Whether playing her as a gold laner or as an EXP laner, Clock of Destiny is a core item for Alice, offering both HP and Magic Power. This item should be purchased early, as its passive stacking synergizes with Alice’s need to grow stronger in the mid to late game.

Following this, Starlium Scythe is crucial for providing additional Magic Power, Movement Speed, and Lifesteal. Its passive True Damage and sustain make it perfect for mid-game, enabling you to dive into fights and heal effectively through her abilities.

Holy Crystal comes next, offering a major boost to your Magic Damage, which becomes especially useful in the late game when her abilities need to deal higher burst damage.

Afterward, buy Winter Crown. This provides both Magic Power and a vital active skill that makes you invulnerable for a short period, allowing you to survive dangerous engagements and heal through her ultimate.

Finally, purchase Divine Glaive. Its high magic penetration ensures your damage remains effective against tankier opponents.

It gives you the ability to activate Blood Ode while being immune to damage which can be a game-changer especially in the late game.

Tips and easy combos to learn

In the early game, focus on farming and gathering blood orbs to maximize your Blood Ancestry passive. With enough gold and experience, you can look to initiate more in the mid-game.

Look for opportunities to initiate team fights using a combination of Flowing Blood and Blood Awe. Manually cast your first skill in the direction of team fights, then tap on it again to teleport to that location.

Quickly activate your second skill for the crowd control, then activate Bloode Ode to melt enemies down. Remember to be cautious about enemy heroes who have True Damage abilities, hard crowd control skills, and burst damage as you are vulnerable to those effects.

In the late game, Alice becomes a monstrous force. Use your accumulated power to disrupt enemy formations and control enemy positioning.
