Guide Complete guide to Alice Hiiragi [Spoiler] - Persona 5 Strikers

For those who are waiting for the release of this game it will not be easy to resist everything that is published about the adventure or the enemies to be defeated. If you have succumbed to the temptation to take a peek and have come across this guide then I present to you the first Boss of Persona 5 Strikers: Alice.

Persona 5 Strikers, in its structure, is very reminiscent of the original game, both as regards the exploration of the dungeons and for the themes represented by the bosses that can be faced at the end of each. In this series of guides we will therefore explore the latter, analyzing their offensive abilities and suggesting a couple of strategies that can be useful in your battles.

So let's start with the monarch of Shibuya prison, Alice Hiiragi, and its combat form, Alice Mattoniglio.

Personality and physical characteristics

In the "real" game world, Alice is a popular model and idol, recognizable for her very flashy green dresses and constant references to "Alice in Wonderland”(Work which, as you will see later, inspired his entire character).

On the surface she looks like a kind girl, while inside she is selfish and angry, trying to forcibly obtain the approval of every person around her (especially male) at all times.

These characteristics are perfectly expressed by his Shadow, who despite having very similar facial features, wears clothes much more succinct and provocative, as well as being arrogant and unscrupulous towards the individuals under his command.

However, several references to the work cited above remain, both for the flamingo-shaped stick, recalling the flamingos that the Queen of Hearts uses when playing cricket, and for the rabbit shape that she adopts in battle.

Alice has not always had such a negative character, but indeed she has had a very sudden change following a trauma suffered during the years spent in high school. Here, after one of the most popular boys in the school came out to her, she began to suffer heavy bullying, often reprimanded by cruel companions.

Despite having tried over the years to forget the facts, shifting her attention to the world of fashion, several bullies have tried on several occasions to ruin her life again by broadcasting videos of the violence she suffered.

This was in effect the straw that broke the camel's back, convincing the girl to take action with EMMA FABRIC and to submit the cruel ex-companions to his will, stealing his desires and essentially making them puppets without their own will.

Subsequently, the exaggerated use of EMMA led her to increase her ego more and more, thus transforming her into the Alice that you will face throughout the story.

Battle strategy

• Use the de-powering ability to lower Alice's attack, defense and accuracy / evasion, meanwhile also increase your stats with buffs. Do everything at the beginning of the fight so as to decrease the time you will spend in battle.
• After the first setup phase, hit Alice first with Fire-type abilities to inflict the status on her On fire, then follow with the Wind and Nuclear ones to cause technical damage.
• In the arena where you will face Alice, you can also interact with both the central pole that with i guns to the side, dealing close damage with the former and ranged damage with the latter.

• Make sure you have enough usable to recover HP and MP in the midst of combat. You can buy them at Yongen-jaya e Shibuya Central Street.
• Alice will have several abilities that can inflict status Subjugation, so make sure you have several items that can heal status or Personae with the Abilities Drop of Amrita (Hua Po at level 14) or Shower Amrita (Sarasvati at level 50).
• Avoid getting hit multiple times by his Psychokinetic abilities, as repeated hits will cause technical damage.
• When it comes down below 50% life, Alice will increase in both strength and speed, as well as using status abilities such as Brain washing if you are too close to her.
• When available, unleash it Showtime on the boss. If Joker Showtime is available, remember to abuse Alice's weaknesses by using the right Personae.

Obtainable trophies

Given the general aesthetic of the character and her confrontation, it is very easy to draw a connection between her and the first boss of Persona 5, Kamoshida, both representatives of the deadly sin. Lussuria, albeit with different methods and backgrounds.

This logical thread is also confirmed by the bronze trophy that will be obtained by defeating her and ending the Shibuya Prison, or "Closed Cage of Lust".
