Recommended Matrices for Alyss in Tower of Fantasy
Here are some of the best Matrices you can use with Alyss to enhance her combat capabilities:
- Alyss Matrices x4
- Equipping four pieces of Alyss’ SSR Matrices gives her a significant increase in DMG.
- Shiro x4
- If you don’t want to roll for Alyss’ Matrices, you can use four pieces of Shiro’s Matrices to get consistent damage and shatter increase.
Apart from the above two, you can combine different Matrices like Crow’s and Sameer’s and others to increase Alyss’ DPS capability.
