Alesh

endgame support

support sp_generator cryo_inflictor

Alesh is rated A-tier due to his high SP generation potential, which comes with significant restrictions. His effectiveness depends on Cryo Infliction on multiple weak enemies, and his mechanics involving random chance (Rare Fin) make him inconsistent. While he enables team SP cycling, his limitations prevent him from reaching higher tiers.

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Alesh's SP generation and team support capabilities. With Finchaser 3.0 and the Frontiers gear set, he becomes a reliable Cryo battery that also enhances the team's damage. The Eternal Xiranite Gloves further smooths his Ultimate rotation. Stat priorities emphasize Cryo damage, Ultimate damage, and Ultimate gain to keep his skills cycling.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Alesh regenerates SP for himself and the team through his Ultimate, Battle Skill, and Combo Skill. His Ultimate applies Cryo Infliction in an AoE and recovers SP per enemy defeated.
His Battle Skill consumes Cryo Infliction stacks on a single target to apply Solidification and recover SP scaling with stacks consumed.
His Combo Skill triggers after Arts Reactions or Originium Crystal consumption, with a chance to catch a Rare Fin that boosts damage and SP gain.

Scaling

Early game: relies on basic SP support and Cryo application; low potential without gear and Intellect investment.
Late game: benefits from gear sets like Frontiers that enhance SP regen synergy and from high Intellect to improve Rare Fin chance (up to 600 Intellect needed for max bonus).

Team Role

Alesh is best fielded as a support SP generator, not as the main controller. He excels in teams that can apply Cryo Infliction quickly and defeat multiple enemies to maximize his Ultimate's SP return. He synergizes with units that trigger Arts Reactions or consume Originium Crystals to enable his Combo Skill. Due to his conditional SP generation, he fits best in fast-paced compositions with high enemy density.

Explanation

Finchaser 3.0 is chosen because it amplifies Alesh's Cryo damage and Strength, aligning with his main stat and role.

The Frontiers set is ideal because its bonus triggers off Alesh's frequent SP recovery, granting the team a 16% damage buff for 15 seconds.

Using two Frontiers Comm T1 cores provides Cryo DMG Bonus, while the Eternal Xiranite Gloves boost Ultimate gain efficiency, ensuring his Ultimate is available more often.

Notes

Finchaser 3.0 is Alesh's signature weapon and greatly boosts his Cryo damage and team utility.
Frontiers set enhances SP regen synergy by providing cooldown reduction and a team-wide damage buff after SP recovery.
Eternal Xiranite Gloves as an off-piece improve Ultimate uptime.
