Who Is Alice?
Alice, codenamed "A," is a founding member of the Hexenzirkel's council — a mysterious organization whose ranks include formidable witches such as Rhinedottir, Barbeloth, and Nicole Leine.
One of the most powerful mages on the continent of Teyvat, Alice is proficient in the arcane arts, alchemy, astrology, engineering, and pharmacology. Even Albedo has described her as "a witch who is nearly omnipotent."
Alice and her daughter Klee belong to a long-lived race — an elf lineage — and despite being at least 500 years old, Alice retains a youthful appearance.
Her combat prowess is equally staggering. Albedo has noted that even Klee's destructive power — capable of blowing apart mountains and lakes with her Jumpy Dumpty — barely scratches the surface of Alice's true strength. Alice can traverse between worlds, once transformed a Wind Dragon's Ruins into what is now known as Stormterror's Lair, and was at ease enough to joke around right in front of the imposing Raiden Shogun. Even the ever-composed Yae Miko was once brought to tears by her.
Upon release, Alice will become Genshin Impact's first playable married character with a child.
Story Appearances
Alice has been woven into Genshin's narrative for a long time, though mostly through voice-overs or third-party mentions:
- Version 1.6 (Golden Apple Archipelago Summer Event): Alice's first in-game voice appearance. It was revealed that the mysterious "Dodoco" who sent riddles to Klee and the Traveler, leading them to the Golden Apple Archipelago, was none other than Alice herself.
Design and Appearance
Alice's in-game model was first revealed in the Nod-Krai PV "Overture for the Moonlight." Her silhouette closely resembles Klee's Blossoming Starlight costume, earning her the fan nickname "Big Klee."
She has long, soft blonde hair with a slight wave at the ends. Her slender, pointed elf ears and golden eyes combine to give her an overall elegant yet mischievous presence. On her head sits an oversized witch hat ornament adorned with feather decorations, emphasizing her presence as a top-tier witch.
Alice's outfit centers on red, white, and blue. On top, she wears a structured, slim mage-style outer coat, accented at the chest with gemstones and crossed strap details. The sleeve cuffs and skirt hem feature feather details and magical motif elements, blending a noble aesthetic with the sensibility of an adventurer and engineer.
The lower half pairs a deeply slit skirt with white stockings, highlighting her long, straight legs. The overall design balances elegance with mobility.
Community reception of Alice's model has been overwhelmingly positive, with many players calling it one of the most visually impressive designs in the game.
Personality
Despite her immense power and storied history, Alice has a playful and cheerful personality. And she is, without exaggeration, one of Teyvat's most devoted moms.
When the preview first showed a Klee statue, it seemed puzzling — but the moment Alice appeared, everything made sense. This is very likely another elaborate event Alice lovingly prepared for her beloved daughter Klee.
In fact, in previous Dvalin-related story content, the Hexenzirkel had already crafted a fantastical stage setting — so it's not at all strange that a special stage set by Alice would prominently feature a statue of Klee for an extended period.
Truly, the phrase "the perfect doting mom" fits her to a T.
She has an extensive network of connections across Teyvat, including figures like Nilou and Barbara.
She treats Albedo like a "son" with genuine warmth, though she also has a history of causing large and small incidents throughout Teyvat. She can be shameless and occasionally sulky, but is fundamentally depicted as a fun and kind person.

Alice — Key Details
Element, Weapon, and Rarity
Based on the in-game model reveal, the PV "Overture for the Moonlight," and leaks from multiple reliable sources, here is the confirmed or strongly indicated information:
💡 This section is based on official PV footage and community leaks. Alice's beta has not yet opened, so skill values remain unconfirmed. This page will be updated as new information becomes available.
Why You Should Pull Alice
- The ultimate resolution to Genshin's longest-running mystery character. Referenced since the very beginning of the game as Klee's mother, Alice is one of the most anticipated characters in Genshin's history. As the founder of the Hexenzirkel and a figure with connections spanning all of Teyvat, she is all but guaranteed top-tier treatment in both story quest quality and production value.
- Likely designed to surpass Klee as a Pyro DPS. According to leaks, Alice is being built as a powerful Pyro DPS character. Given her lore as "a great witch far more destructive than Klee," expect a mechanic that operates on an entirely different scale from existing Pyro DPS options.
- Strong synergy potential with Klee, Dvalin, and Arkhium teams. Alice is expected to be deeply tied to the Arkhium Arcana system. She will likely generate additional synergy in compositions featuring existing Arkhium characters like Klee, Fischl, and Sucrose.
- A pivotal figure in the Snezhnaya storyline. Alice is strongly hinted to play a major story role in the Snezhnaya Chapter. Beyond just being a playable character, she is likely to sit at the center of a narrative involving threats from beyond Teyvat.
- Alice's combat power and threat level are simply off the charts. During a trip to Liyue, Rex Lapis himself personally followed her around to keep watch. She once seriously proposed harnessing three Hilichurl tribes from Mondstadt Valley to power the city's mills for five years. Even the ever-composed Lisa quickly changed the subject. Wildly imaginative and incalculably powerful — terrifying, but absolutely worth pulling.
Expected Banner Schedule
Based on Genshin's consistent 42-day patch cycle and the confirmed Version 6.5 release date (April 8, 2026), the projected schedule is as follows:
| Milestone | Expected Date |
| Version 6.5 Release | April 8, 2026 |
| Version 6.6 Release | May 20, 2026 |
| Version 6.7 Release | July 1, 2026 |
| Version 6.8 Release (Alice Banner Expected) | Around August 12, 2026 |
| Version 7.0 (Snezhnaya Chapter Begins) | September–October 2026 (estimated) |
Alice is expected to headline the first half of Version 6.8. While earlier leaks pointed to Version 6.7 (Lunar VIII), multiple reliable sources indicate that HoYoverse shifted Alice's release to a more significant story moment, replacing that slot with Sandrone. Several outlets, including Icy Veins, have also cited a strong possibility of Alice appearing between 6.8 and 7.0.
The community consensus is that Alice will not enter the Standard Banner and will only be available as a limited-time event wish — a reasonable assumption given her status as the Hexenzirkel's founder. If you're low on Primogems, use Versions 6.6–6.7 as a dedicated saving window and go all-in when Alice's banner opens.
How to Prepare for Alice
Alice's beta hasn't opened yet, but there are things you can start doing now. Beyond saving, don't miss out on free Primogems from Genshin Impact redeem codes.
Start Saving Primogems
Versions 6.5 through 6.7 are a natural saving window for Alice. Here's what you'll need:
| Scenario | Wishes Required | Primogem Cost |
| Win 50/50 | Up to 90 | 14,400 |
| Lose 50/50 (Guaranteed) | Up to 180 | 28,800 |
If you also plan to pull her signature weapon, budget an additional 60–80 wishes for the Weapon Banner.
Build Your DPS Roster in Advance
Since Alice is expected to be a Pyro main DPS, leveling the following characters now will let you assemble an optimal team the moment she releases. Key characters to invest in:
Hold Off on Final Judgments Until Beta
Alice's beta has not yet opened. Current leaked skill information amounts to little more than "strong Pyro DPS" — specific multipliers, artifact sets, constellations, and signature weapon details are entirely unconfirmed.
Once beta opens and official numbers are locked in, we will publish a complete Alice build guide covering final skill multipliers, artifact recommendations, weapon rankings, and optimal team compositions. For now, the smartest move is to save Primogems and build up your existing Pyro team.
Alice vs. Klee: What's the Difference?
One of the most persistent questions in the community since Alice's playable debut was announced. Both use Pyro Catalyst, but their lore standing and expected playstyles differ considerably. Here's a comparison based on what's known:
Based on current information, Alice and Klee share the broad framework of being Pyro Catalyst main DPS characters, but Alice is expected to bring a larger and more impactful mechanic befitting her "Teyvat's greatest mage" lore status.
If Klee is a cute, explosive close-range bomber, Alice is more likely to feel like a sorceress of a completely different class — deploying magic circles and barriers from range. The key distinction is that Klee is available right now, while Alice's kit is still undisclosed, and a precise performance comparison is premature. A detailed comparison analysis will be published once beta data is available.
What to Expect After Version 6.8
Even after Version 6.8 — where Alice is expected to debut — Genshin's lineup remains packed.
- Version 6.8 (Alice's Expected Release): The transitional version into the Snezhnaya Chapter. Expect Alice's story quest and a full conclusion to the Nod-Krai arc.
- Version 7.0 (Snezhnaya Chapter Opens): According to leaks, Snezhnaya arrives as a major new region with a distinctive industrial visual aesthetic. A massive update bringing long-awaited characters, including Il Capitano. Expect significant resource expenditure.
- Full Hexenzirkel Roster Becomes Playable: Alice, Rhinedottir, Barbeloth, Nicole Leine, and other Hexenzirkel members are expected to become playable in sequence. Alice will be the cornerstone of this lineup.
Plan your Primogem spending across the full 6.8 to 7.0 window to avoid over-investing in a single patch.
Summary
Alice is expected to be a 5-Star Pyro Catalyst main DPS and is arguably the most long-awaited character in Genshin's history. Her story weight as the Hexenzirkel's founder and Klee's mother, her overwhelming lore credentials — Albedo described her as "nearly omnipotent" — and her confirmed Pyro Catalyst identity make her a compelling pull target for virtually any account.
Once beta data is out and official numbers are confirmed, we will publish a complete Alice build guide covering final skill multipliers, artifact sets, and team compositions. Bookmark this page and check back before her banner goes live.

FAQ
When is Alice's release date?
According to multiple leakers, Alice is likely to be released in Version 6.8 (around August 12, 2026). She was originally expected in 6.7 but appears to have been replaced by Sandrone, and some believe she will appear in the early stages of the Snezhnaya chapter.
What are Alice's element and weapon?
Her Pyro element is officially confirmed, as her Vision was directly shown in the PV "Prelude to Moonlight." A Catalyst is the most likely weapon, given her mage archetype and similarities to Klee, and is supported by multiple leakers.
How many pulls does it take to get Alice?
In Genshin Impact, the hard pity for a 5-star character is 90 pulls. If you lose the 50/50, you may need up to 180 pulls to guarantee her. If Alice is your goal, start saving your Primogems now.
What's the difference between Alice and Klee?
Both are expected to be Pyro Catalyst characters, but Alice stands out for her grand magical mechanics, overwhelming lore presence, and top-tier story significance, while Klee excels as an immediately available burst DPS with Crimson Witch of Flames set synergy. A detailed performance comparison won't be possible until Alice's beta is revealed.
Should I pull for Alice or save for Sandrone?
Alice is likely to be a top-priority pull for nearly all accounts. Since Sandrone (Ver. 6.7) is expected to specialize in the reworked Superconduct system, if that reaction isn't particularly relevant to your build, it's recommended to prioritize Alice. If your budget allows, consider going for both — otherwise, wait for the beta comparison before deciding.
