SILVERPALACE BUILD

Alf Build

Updated 27 October 2026

Alf is an Ignis Break Suppressor: build her for DMG Bonus first, then Stun Buildup, with Elitism Implements and the Farewell, Chivalrous Age Epiphany. She fits best next to Cinderella, who turns her stun into an Execution. Beta data.

Best Implements for Alf

Elitism

Best

DMG Bonus +8% (4 pieces). Increases the holder's DMG by 8%. When the character's DMG Bonus exceeds 30%, they also gain 1 stack of Lightning whenever they use a Skill, increasing their Stun Buildup Bonus by 12.5% for 14s. Stacks up to 2 times.

  • Age of Technology, Elitism Head ImplementAge of TechnologyHead
  • Innovation-Led Future, Elitism Neck ImplementInnovation-Led FutureNeck
  • Industry of Glory, Elitism Secondary Weapon ImplementIndustry of GlorySecondary Weapon
  • Ultimate Efficiency, Elitism Accessory ImplementUltimate EfficiencyAccessory

Why: Our pick: its DMG Bonus covers her own shotgun damage, and past 30% DMG Bonus each Zeroth Shell cast stacks extra Stun Buildup Bonus.

Hey, Jack

Alternative

Stun Buildup Bonus +25% (4 pieces). Increases the holder's Stun Buildup Bonus by 25%. When the character's Stun Buildup Bonus exceeds 100%, landing a Basic Attack on an enemy or performing a Perfect Dodge grants 1 or 3 stacks of All In respectively. Each stack of All In increases their Charged DMG by 3% for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

  • The Blind Man, Hey, Jack Head ImplementThe Blind ManHead
  • The Wisher, Hey, Jack Neck ImplementThe WisherNeck
  • The Debt Collector, Hey, Jack Secondary Weapon ImplementThe Debt CollectorSecondary Weapon
  • The Cheater, Hey, Jack Accessory ImplementThe CheaterAccessory

Why: Her Basic Attack combo lands so often that the All In stacks stay up, and the 25% Stun Buildup Bonus goes straight into breaking poise.

Cogs of the City

Alternative

Break Exploit +60 (4 pieces). Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When the character's Break Exploit exceeds 200, they also gain 25% Stun Buildup Bonus for 14s whenever they perform a Charged Attack.

  • Non-Dustproof Dust Cap, Cogs of the City Head ImplementNon-Dustproof Dust CapHead
  • Non-Absorbent Towel, Cogs of the City Neck ImplementNon-Absorbent TowelNeck
  • Non-Turnable Wrench, Cogs of the City Secondary Weapon ImplementNon-Turnable WrenchSecondary Weapon
  • Non-Insulated Lunch Box, Cogs of the City Accessory ImplementNon-Insulated Lunch BoxAccessory

Why: Pick this if you want Alf stunning sooner and hitting softer: 60 Break Exploit, and her Charged Attack triggers the bonus once she is past 200.

Implement stats are fixed, not rolled. Set data is fan-compiled from the game files; where each set drops is in the Implements guide.

Best Epiphany for Alf

Farewell, Chivalrous Age Epiphany

Farewell, Chivalrous Age

Best

ATK % +24%

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 100. Their Basic Attacks grant 1 stack of Chivalrous Dream on hit. At 5 stacks, this triggers Fearless Blade, increasing Stun Buildup Bonus by 50% for 8s. Dodging or Parrying attacks immediately grants 5 stacks of Chivalrous Dream.

Why: Our pick: 100 Break Exploit, and her three-hit shotgun combo fills the five Chivalrous Dream stacks fast enough to keep the 50% Stun Buildup Bonus rolling.

Villainous Crown Epiphany

Villainous Crown

Alternative

Break Exploit +130

Increases the holder's Stun Buildup Bonus by 25%. When their Stun Buildup Bonus exceeds 100%, each 1% over 100% grants 0.64% ATK, up to a maximum of 36%.

Why: Turns any Stun Buildup Bonus she has above 100% into up to 36% ATK, so it only pays once her stun gear is already in place.

The Count of the Cavern Epiphany

The Count of the Cavern

Alternative

Break Exploit +100

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When their Break Exploit exceeds 180, each 1 point of Break Exploit over 180 grants 0.3% Stun Buildup Bonus, up to a maximum of 60%.

Why: The low-level stand-in: 60 Break Exploit now, and up to 60% Stun Buildup Bonus once she is past 180 Break Exploit.

The Epiphany is the fifth gear slot, one per character. Duplicates raise its stats, never its effect. Effects are fan-compiled from the game files.

Alf stats

Chase DMG Bonus until it clears 30%, the line where Elitism starts adding Stun Buildup Bonus on every Skill, then stack Break Exploit and Stun Buildup Bonus for the stun itself (character stats guide). Farewell, Chivalrous Age already brings 100 Break Exploit, so the Cogs of the City mark of 200 is within reach if you swap sets.

Alf skill priority

Upgrade in this order

  1. 1Flare of Enlightenment, Alf's UltimateUltimateFlare of EnlightenmentMax firstFlame wall stun plus 6 Reserve Ammo back
  2. 2Novice Shotgun, Alf's Basic AttackBasic AttackNovice ShotgunThenShotgun combo that restocks her ammo
  3. 3Zeroth Shell, Alf's SkillSkillZeroth ShellNextZeroth Shell, the ammo-spending blast
  4. 4Dustproof Magazine, Alf's Tactical AssaultTactical AssaultDustproof MagazineLaterSwap-in hit worth 3 Reserve Ammo
  5. 5Maid in Training, Alf's PassivePassiveMaid in TrainingOne levelFollow-up shots and 14 Stun Buildup

Our order, not a creator's. Flare of Enlightenment comes first because it is both her biggest stun burst and her ammo refill, so every level there feeds the second shotgun sequence. Novice Shotgun follows, since its third hit is how she restocks when the 0.2 per second regeneration falls behind.

What every level costs is on the Alf materials page.

Alf Psyches

  1. Psyche IMaid No. 49. Alf gains 6 Reserve Ammo when she uses a Headbutt.
  2. Psyche IIBoundless Curiosity. Increases Alf's Ultimate DMG by 20%.
  3. Psyche IIIAbandoned Cat Effect. Alf's melee, shotgun, and flamethrower attacks increase her ATK by 2% for 16s on hit, effects stacking separately for each attack type.
  4. Psyche IVBlank Page. Upon using Tactical Assault, Alf's Stun Buildup Bonus is increased by 7% for 16s.
  5. Psyche VA Story Truly Yours. After Alf uses her Ultimate, she increases the Ignis DMG of all characters on the team by 15% for 40s.
  6. Psyche VISacrificial Sincerity. Increases Alf's Final DMG by 10%.

Each Psyche costs one more copy of Alf. Effects are fan-compiled from the game files. Our reading: A Story Truly Yours (Psyche V) matters most, since 15% Ignis DMG for the whole team for 40s after her Ultimate is what lifts Alf above a pure stun slot. The character progression guide explains the system.
