Unit Alpha - How to Find & Kill

Floor: The Outer Gates

Weakness: Fire

Recommended Weapon: Iron Sword

Who Is Unit Alpha?

Unit Alpha is the frontline brawler of the M.A.H.O.U Unit. TBA - update with confirmed names. She specialises in close-range chip attacks and excels on the lower floors of the Tower of Babel where enemy density is high and chip budget is tight.

How to Play Unit Alpha

Alpha rewards aggressive positioning. Load her MAHOU.OS with melee-range attack chips and pair with a movement chip for dash-cancel combos. Fire-attuned enemies on Floor 1 take double damage from her Ice-coated strikes.

Alpha shines in co-op as the tank. Pair her with a ranged unit for balanced floor clears.

Recommended Chips

Start with the basic Attack Chip and a Movement Chip. Upgrade to the Spell Chip once you unlock Floor 2 content. Stay within the 256KB budget — Alpha benefits more from fewer, well-chosen chips than a overloaded loadout.

Where She Fits in Your Progression

Alpha is the recommended first character for new players. Her straightforward kit teaches the chip-loading system and the transformation mechanic without overwhelming complexity. She leads the charge through Floor 1 and remains viable through Floor 3.
