Alexandria Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Alexandria is a great Hero to use for her Chain Attack effect which boosts Critical Hit chances. She is best used in tandem with other high Critical Rate classes like Stalker or Flash Fencer

Her high Attack and Critical Rate stats make her an excellent heavy hitter for the team.

Weaknesses

Alexandria, like many Attackers, has weak defenses which makes her extremely fragile on the battlefield. Her attacks are also typically close-range, meaning that she will very often be up close with the enemy.

Alexandria Ascension Quest Unlock Conditions

Inescapable Past

After recruiting Alexandria, they and their class will be capped at Rank 10. To break the class limit and rank them up to Rank 20, you must first complete their Ascension Quest: Inescapable Past.

Alexandria ability to combo chain attacks is ridiculous and she is easily the most broken character in the game.
