Alesh boasts high SP generation with plenty of restrictions, requiring teams with high Cryo Infliction against plenty of weak enemies to fully maximize his utility. Alesh's playstyle is also a mix of multiple mechanics, some of which involve luck. Due to this, he can be inconsistent and is one of the reasons why we placed him in this tier.

Explanation
Alesh is mainly built as a support character, providing great SP generation to the team while also applying Cryo Infliction and Solidification to enemies. You want to build on this mechanic by improving his skill cooldowns, primary attributes, and supportive capabilities.
Notes
- For Alesh's late game build, Finchaser greatly buffs his capabilities by increasing the Cryo DMG taken by enemies for the team and boosting his own damage.
- For the gear set, Frontiers is the best available option since its bonus provides extra DMG buffs when he regens SP and improves his Combo Skill's cooldown. Furthermore, the individual gear pieces give Strength and Intellect, as well as Ultimate DMG Bonus and Cryo DMG for his personal damage output.
- As an off-piece, Eternal Xiranite Gloves is worth using on him for its stats and the Ultimate Gain Efficiency it provides, improving the skill's uptime.
