Alysnes is a powerful but complicated Striker in Mecha BREAK. It is perfect for most combat situation, it is flexible with its playstyle and kit. However, if you are looking for a jack-of-all trades Mecha, Alysnes is the one for you.
But playing something that can do everything can come with its own problems. Learning how to navigate different situations with Alysnes can be a bit confusing, but worry not; in this guide, I will break down how Alysnes works, its abilities, and what strengths and weaknesses in brings to the table.
How to Play Alysnes in Mecha BREAK
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Versatile in both ranged and melee combat | Low durability when armor is depleted |
| Powerful parry and counter mechanics with Complex Shield | Parry timing requires precision and experience |
| Unique Armor Purge system allows second chances | Reliant on cooldown management and purge resets |
| High mobility in post-purge form | Vulnerable if isolated or surrounded |
| Strong duelist and anti-melee counter | Weaker in sustained 1vX scenarios |
She starts every match with an Energy Autocannon, a burst gun that hits harder when you hold the trigger a moment. The trick is to be patient—letting the shot charge to about 80 keeps your spread tight, but waiting too long opens the barrel wide and many bullets drift. Use those charged blasts to chip away or knock enemies off balance before you close in.
Alongside the trusty cannon, you’ll want to pick up the Gauss Cannon. This big-hitter shines when the fight begins, or when you need a quick finishing move. Its heavy stagger prods opponents off balance, carving a moment for you to play bolder. Once they’re wobbly, zip in with Alysnes’ Battle Halberd. The halberd swings slowly, sure, but each slice crunches like you’re tapping the boss’s health-bar with a hammer, and it can slide right through many shields. That makes it a nightmare after a parry or any stagger.
For pure control, nothing beats the Complex Shield. It doesn’t just eat hits; it fires back at them. Tap the button just before a sword or fist lands, and you trigger a slick parry that leads straight into a three-swipe counter. That turn-the-tables rhythm makes Alysnes feel almost unfair against melee-heavy Strikers, feeding on their rush instead of fleeing from it.
Alysnes packs one of the wildest survival tricks in the game. Rather than simply dying when her health hits zero, she tosses away her outer armor and kicks off a fresh phase. In that post-purge state, she brandishes an energy blade, zips around the fight, and can either dive on a foe or slip out when the odds sour.
Once she burns off the plating, you can call up her Airdrop Kit. It patches her armor, tops off her energy, and gives her a tiny window of full invulnerability. That shield isn t only for running away; you can use it to stretch a brawl longer, lure enemies in, or swoop back in with a full load-out when they re not looking. Because you can purge and Airdrop twice per life, Alysnes feels almost tireless in drawn-out skirmishes.
Clever players use this combo to flip the tempo on attackers. Instead of passively waiting to die, you can purge on purpose, summon the Airdrop, and hit back harder. Doing so keeps foes uneasy, makes them burn extra ammo or cooldowns, and pushes them to overcommit just to finish the job.
When enemies are close or charge, raise the shield just ahead of their swing and ready for the parry. This is not a last-second block; guess the timing, meet the hit first, and watch their attack rebound.
A clean parry opens the door. Chain straight into a swift Halberd combo. That shield-swap-to-blade burst is Alysnes’ signature kill move, the moment opponents fear damage. If the battlefield turns chaotic or health bleeds away, clear the overload with armor purge. Blink away, summon Airdrop, and come back hitting harder and harder. Repeat poke→parry→burst→purge→reset, and victory feels almost mechanical.
Yet no pilot is untouchable. Timed shield fails, or getting cut off from escape, can flip even the best Alysnes into a corner. Scan the horizon, count cooldowns, and always give yourself an exit or a flank.
