Time to deal with the dollmaster.

Alice (Boss):
Here's your first fight you really need to come in with a plan for. You are not just dealing with Alice but her three dolls as well. Magical Light is immune to status effects (cept for Poison), is vulnerable to debuffs, and uses nothing but aoe magical attacks. It is also somewhat resistant to magical attacks. Beautiful Light does nothing but physical attacks and is immune to stat debuffs but vulnerable to status effects (cept for Death). Both of these dolls will reapply a buff to Healing Light, giving it 100% Def and Mind. Healing Light is immune to both status and debuff effects (cept for poison). Her attacks are mostly status effects but her main role is to heal. She has two healing spells. One that heals everyone for about 500 hp and a single target that heals for 10000 hp. So unless you can blitz a target quickly, it is doubtful you will out damage her heals. Thankfully she will not use the single target heal on herself.

Alice herself has a few phases. She starts off doing nothing but normal attacks and status effects. As dolls begin to die though, she will start using her actual spells that are a variety of aoe and one single target spell. Despite being magical, some of the attacks actually target Defense rather than Mind which can catch your casters off guard and wipe them out. Oh and each of her spells has a debuff attached to it that does up -50% to a certain stat.

The key to this battle is to either out damage the heal somehow or kill off Healing Light first. Due to the major buffs the other two dolls give it, only your most powerful attacks will be able to damage this doll. Poison can definitely help here as defenses cannot prevent the dot damage and give you abit of a head start while you prepare to pierce Healing Light's defenses. I was able to harm Healing Light with Patchy, Youmu, Rumia, and a buffed Marisa and Remilia.

Another thing you have to take care of is how you will handle the other two dolls during all this. Paralyze does work on the Beautiful Light but currently they do not last long so I relied more on slowing Magical Light with Cirno instead. Once Healing Light goes down, you are free to kill the dolls in any order or even go after Alice first. Just becareful, each doll you kill makes Alice go faster I think.

Alice has a 25% chance to drop the Forbidden Tablet which gives +30% Mag, +4% recovery, +60 Mystic Affinity, and +16 Silence/Death resistance. A decent item to farm for in the early game.

I will say that farming those Paralyze Rings helped alot as Alice was doing practically nothing in the first phase of the battle. Silence Resist on Meiling ensured I could remove any status effects as well.
