Alva is a support who is mainly used for her exalt and Combat Stance. She can unseal your awakeners and get rid of symptoms clogging your hand, which makes her useful into many boss fights. She also provides a decent shield and a reliable source of vulnerable with her exalt.

DPS Build

Alva’s Precision Slash has a high damage ceiling. At E3, this makes her a viable DPS. With the right build, she can hit for upwards of 50K damage per Precision Slash.

DPS Alva isn’t popular with veteran players, mainly because she competes for supports with stronger DPS like Mouchette and GHelot. That being said, she’s a perfectly viable option if you like her.

How to Play

Support: Use Alva’s exalt if you need vulnerable, or if you need to get rid of symptoms in hand. Use Combat Stance if you need to unseal your awakeners.

DPS: Rouse Alva and try to get a lot of copies of Precision Slash in hand. Then use Alva’s exalt, build a lot of shield, stack damage buffs, and unleash your burst combo.

Teambuilding

DPS Alva likes two specific kinds of supports.

On the one hand, she likes teammates who can give her more copies of Precision Slash, like Thais and Hameln.

On the other hand, she likes teammates who can boost the damage from each Precision Slash, like Nautila and Helot.

Saya is an excellent support because she does both, but her discard can be hard to play around.
