Alice — Support Guide
Key Insights
- Trot gives a 20% movement-speed boost for 1s after every ability cast, so weave casts into your rotations.
- Casting Chrono Shield on an ally also triggers Trot on Alice herself, giving both a speed pulse at the same time.
- Chrono Shield adds 30% movement speed for 2s on the shielded ally, not just a barrier.
- Chrono Flow slows by 35%, shreds magic resistance by up to 50% at max rank, and silences enemies who walk in after cast.
- Chrono Burst is point-and-click, no skill-shot required, but its short range forces Alice inside the frontline to land it.
Strengths
Chrono Flow's 50% magic-resist shred at max rank amplifies mage damage hard.
Trot plus 
Chrono Shield's speed lets Alice re-shield multiple targets in one fight.
Chrono Burst is point-and-click, so CC lands consistently in close-quarters.- Chrono Flow zones Dragon and Abyssal Dragon, forcing enemies to cede ground.
Weaknesses
- Coordinated enemies just dash out of Chrono Flow, killing her main value window.
- Chrono Burst's short range puts Alice in the frontline with no real escape.
- Alice has zero healing, losing any attrition battle to Annette or Sephera.
- Tank-AP build leaves her too squishy to absorb focus but too tanky to ignore.

Standard Engage
21RShield yourself or your diving frontline first to absorb the initiation damage, then stun the priority target with Q to pin them in place, and drop Chrono Flow on the cluster for the magic-resist shred. This order keeps Alice alive long enough to see the R fully tick.
Anti-Channel Punish
R1Drop Chrono Flow on the enemy carry as they begin a channelled ultimate, then close the gap and land Q to hard-interrupt any follow-up cast. The silence-on-entry from R often does the interrupting on its own, with Q as the insurance stun.
Escape & Peel
2P1Cast W on the ally being chased to trigger both Trot on Alice and the 30% speed on the ally at the same time, then pivot and land Q on the pursuer to stun them out of the chase. Straightforward, but the Trot timing is what makes it a clean disengage rather than a desperate one.

Gameplan
Alice is weakest in the first three minutes. Ring of Terror alone doesn't give her enough bulk or ability haste to rotate aggressively, so stick to vision and safe shield coverage early. Her first real spike hits at level 4 when all three abilities are online, that is the window to look for Q-into-R setups alongside the jungler. The second, sharper spike comes from Frost Cape completion: the added slow on basic attacks lets her stick to targets and extend Chrono Flow uptime by a lot. She falls off hard past the 15-minute mark if she hasn't enabled her mage carry, because enemies will have built enough magic resistance to blunt Chrono Flow's shred value.
Early Game
Levels 1–6- →Path to the enemy's buff side on the first rotation with your jungler and look for an early Q stun on the buff-stealer if they overextend. Ring of Terror's added edge lets you poke without committing to a full fight.
- →Set up ward coverage at the river chokepoints before minute 2 to give your mid-laner safe lane information. Alice's movement-speed bursts from Trot make her one of the faster early warders in the roamer pool.
- →Avoid forcing a solo-engage Q unless your jungler is visibly collapsing on the same target. Alice's short range means a missed stun without backup is a near-guaranteed death.
Mid Game
Post Broken Spear- →Identify which enemy carry is building no magic resistance and make them the default Chrono Flow target in every teamfight. This is your primary job and it needs to be communicated to your mage before the fight starts.
- →Use Chrono Shield proactively on your jungler or mid-laner as they rotate between objectives. The 30% speed bonus accelerates your whole team's transition speed by a meaningful margin.
- →Contest Abyssal Dragon with Chrono Flow placed at the Dragon pit entrance rather than inside the pit. Enemies approaching to contest will trigger the silence-on-entry, buying your team a free smite window.
Late Game
Teamfight phase- →In the final-push phase, your role compresses to one job: drop Chrono Flow on the enemy damage dealers the instant your frontline locks them in place, then shield the lowest-HP teammate and Q anyone who tries to peel.
- →Stay within W range of your hyper-carry at all times during base sieges. Frost Cape's slow combined with Chrono Shield's speed makes a diving assassin's job significantly harder.
- →Accept that your damage contribution is now irrelevant. Every decision should be made around surviving long enough to cast R twice per teamfight and W at least once on the right target.
Pro Tips
- →Cast W on yourself before rotating through a chokepoint you suspect is warded. The 30% speed plus Trot activation shrinks the window enemies have to collapse on you before you clear the vision angle.
- →Chrono Flow's silence only applies to enemies who enter the zone after the initial cast animation finishes. Drop it slightly ahead of a fleeing target so they run into the silence rather than placing it directly under someone who can just dash out.
- →Frosty's Revenge's passive slow stacks with Chrono Flow's 35% slow. Landing an auto-attack on an enemy already inside your R zone adds a compounding slow that effectively roots most non-dashing heroes for a split second, enough for your Q to connect.
- →At high rank, burn your Heal summoner spell early and deliberately in a skirmish to bait the enemy support's cooldowns before the real objective fight. Alice's lack of healing means the second fight is where your R-and-shield kit actually outscales a depleted enemy support.
Alice is a niche pick for coordinated stacks running mage-heavy compositions, specifically Ilumia or Natalya, where Chrono Flow's magic-resist shred is the actual game-winning variable rather than consolation utility. In solo queue, the gap between her ceiling and her floor is too wide to recommend her over virtually any other C-tier or higher support. If you do commit to her, the single most important skill is Chrono Flow placement: drop it where enemies will be forced to walk into it, not where they currently stand. Get that right and every other part of her kit starts to make sense.
Alice — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alice good in the current ROV patch?+
Honestly, no. Alice sits in C tier on the Thai server with a recorded 0% win rate and a 0.4% pick rate in Diamond-and-above ranked games, meaning even the small pool of players picking her isn't converting games. Her kit works in isolation, but the current meta heavily favours mobile assassins who walk straight out of Chrono Flow, stripping her of her strongest tool.
What is the best build for Alice?+
The Thai-server recommended path is Ring of Terror into Flashy Boots, then Frosty's Revenge, Frost Cape, Soul Scroll, and Blade of Eternity as a survival option in the sixth slot. Frosty's Revenge is the most important purchase. Its cooldown reduction and slow synergy with Chrono Flow are what make her mid-game feel remotely competitive.
How do you counter Alice?+
Pick heroes with dashes or blinks and leave Chrono Flow the instant it lands. Most Diamond players do this automatically, which is the main reason for her 0% win rate. Supports like Arum and Grakk can pull Alice's carries out of her zone, and any roster heavy with gap-closers, Murad, Butterfly, Nakroth, turns her ultimate into a wasted slot.
Is Alice hard to play or good for beginners?+
We rate Alice as Medium difficulty. Her individual abilities are straightforward, but reading when and where to drop Chrono Flow for maximum value requires real game sense and team coordination, and that punishes newer players hard. Beginners looking for a roamer should start with Arthur or Baldum and come back to Alice once you understand zone-control timing.
