MICA Team has revealed Alva as the next incoming T-Doll for Girls’ Frontline 2, arriving as part of the three-parter Corposant event. Veteran players will recognize her as AN-94 from the previous title. She returns as an Ice support unit built around a specialized shield and interception gimmick.
Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium | Alva PV
Alva Overview
She’s trading her old name for a brand new end.
Alva is an ice-themed AR support. While she is a strong unit on paper, her performance is currently tied closely to the state of the Ice element, and her buffs are most effective when kept within Ice-specific teams.
Seiyuu: Manami Numakura
Stat Priorities: Attack, Attack Boost, Crit Rate, Crit Damage
Alva’s Skills & Keys
Her Frosted Echo ensures the opposition will fall.
With these Fixed Keys, her enemies will face defeat.
Top Picks:
- Logistics Specialist: At the start of the battle, gains 3 points of Confectance Index and 3 stacks of Battle Prep.
- Late Bloomer: For each stack of Battle Prep consumed, Alva’s attack is increased by 3%, to a maximum increase of 18%.
- Bonechill: Stability damage taken by enemy units within 4 tiles of the Liquid N2 Fang is increased by 2 points.
Situational:
- Rise Anew: Before using the Ultimate skill Nix Requiem, cleanses 2 buffs from the target.
Attachments: Phase Strike or Freeze Boost
Alva Banner Notes
Roll for your favorites and keep your squad lean.
Alva works well right out of the box at V0. If you are looking to invest long-term, her signature weapon is a high priority due to the Critical Damage buffs.
Vertebrae Breakpoints:
- V0: Fully functional and ready for deployment immediately.
- V0R1: A significant upgrade. Her signature weapon (6P33) is excellent, and the added Crit Damage is extremely powerful.
- V2R1: A solid upgrade on paper that serves as a “future-proof” investment for potential new Ice DPS units.
- V6: Provides a massive damage buff to the overall Ice team. This is high-level investment primarily for players heavily dedicated to the Ice element.
Disclaimer:
Alva is not a must-pull, but can be considered for Ice-focused rosters or collection value.Priority: V0 > V0R1 > V2R1
Alva Team Recommendations
Alva thrives in Ice-focused squads where she can trigger her specific buffs and shield conversions.
- Ice Core: Alva, Robella (V6), Helen
- Support Options: Makiatto (benefits greatly from Helen and dupes), Dushkaye (with Modkey)
- Sustainability: Suomi (becomes more viable once Helen is available)
6P33: Alva’s Signature Weapon
This modified 6P33 makes the enemy cower by the hour.
Effect
- If they have a Shield, damage dealt is increased by 10%/12%/14%/16%/18%/20%.
- When allied units deal Freeze damage, critical damage is increased by 10%/12%/14%/16%/18%/20%.
Imprint Skill
- Damage dealt to Girard Group units is increased by 2.5%.
- Damage dealt to targets with Freeze debuffs is increased by 2.5%.
Should you get 6P33?
Alva’s signature is highly recommended as the Crit Damage boost is a game-changer. If you miss it, Golden Melody or Planeta can fill the slot.
Rerun Banner: Lenna
Knock on their banner if you’re looking for more.
Lenna excels at building Confectance Index rapidly to maintain high Ultimate uptime.
Vertebrae Breakpoints:
- V0: Fully functional and strong out of the box. Good for F2P or collection purposes.
- V1 Breakpoint: The essential milestone. Provides full uptime on her ultimate and Light of Victory.

Lenna functions cleanly at V0, although V1 improves her cycle by a noticeable margin, especially in long encounters.

Lenna’s Recommended Teams
Team 1: Leva, Andoris, Jiangyu, Lenna, [Flex Slot]

Rerun Banner: Leva
Better roll now before this chance vanishes into air.

- V1 Breakpoint: Increases Support Attack count and improves Ultimate cycling.
- V6: Triggers Superconductive Strike after any skill for a major spike in boss damage.

Balthilde Overview
Satomi Akesaka provides the voice for this unique Doll.
Balthilde works as a defensive side-grade to supports like Yoohee. She stands out in squads that need extra bodies on the map or heavy protection. Since she is a physical MG, you should slot her into teams where her summons can soak up damage or chip away at stability.
One thing to keep in mind is that her best attachment set, Summon Boost, is only in the CN version of the game right now. This means she can’t hit her full potential in the Global version for the time being.
Combat Style
Balthilde relies on two types of gadgets to control the field. She uses Defense Constructs to block incoming hits and Offensive Constructs to help with direct damage.
Seiyuu: Satomi Akesaka.
Stat Priorities: Def Boost, Defense, Attack Boost, Attack
You can grab the MG Doll Balthilde for free by finishing the Explosive Machinist event objectives.
Balthilde Skills & Keys
Use Raging Chainblast to keep those constructs on the field.
These Fixed Keys and Common Key give her summons a definitive edge.
Top Picks:
- Cannot Spit It Out: Before using an active attack, applies Stress Fracture on the enemy for 2 turns.
- Impatient: Gains 3 points of Confectance Index at the start of the battle.
- Mechanical Control: When there are Constructs on the battlefield, Balthilde’s stability damage dealt by is increased by 3 points.
Attachments: Ballistic Boost or Phase Strike
Balthidle’s Signature Weapon | Njoror
This heavy hitter makes every metal scrap look older.
Balthilde’s Njörðr boosts the healing and damage of her summoned units. While she has this weapon equipped, your allied units deal extra damage to enemies that have defense debuffs. Her neural archive and weapon will both join the permanent Platoon Shop exchange list later. When she attacks a target with 0 defense or less, she deals 1 point of fixed stability damage.
Effect
