Review

Alex is a berserker-type unit that gets stronger the lower her HP gets. She also has an ability to increase her max HP which works nicely with her self-barrier passive.

In PVE she can be used anywhere when you need a bit more bulk in the frontline, but her other abilities are quite niche and other strikers like Chifuyu are better for general use. However, she does shine in Danger Close vs Regenerated Bishop because of her stealth detection and buff removal, and other similar stages needing her niche.

In PVP, while stealth detection + buff removal sounds good, she can't really do much aside from it. This makes her not very popular compared to other 3-cost strikers.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- buff removal counters certain enemies,

- one of the few employees who can detect Stealth enemies,

- pretty tanky with the barriers.

Cons

- a bit of a selfish employee for PVE.
