supportsp_generationcryo_infliction
Alesh offers strong SP regeneration but has several limitations. His effectiveness depends on having teammates that apply Cryo Infliction to many enemies, and some of his mechanics rely on chance, making him inconsistent at times. These factors place him in A-tier.
endgame support endgamesp_regencryo_support
This endgame build focuses on maximizing Alesh's SP generation and team support capabilities. Finchaser 3.0 enhances his Cryo utility, while the Frontiers gear set amplifies his SP recovery and team damage. The Eternal Xiranite gloves further improve his Ultimate uptime, making him a consistent battery for the squad.

1 strength 2 intellect 3 cryo_dmg_bonus 4 ultimate_dmg_bonus 5 ultimate_gain_efficiency
Explanation
Finchaser 3.0 is the top choice because its Suppression essence increases Cryo DMG taken by enemies after Alesh applies Solidification, which he does frequently with his Battle Skill.
The Frontiers set provides a 15% Combo Skill cooldown reduction and a team-wide DMG buff after SP recovery, both of which are triggered often in Alesh's rotation.
The gloves are swapped to Eternal Xiranite for the Ultimate Gain Efficiency bonus, allowing Alesh to cycle his Ultimate faster for more SP generation.
Notes
- Finchaser 3.0 is his signature weapon, boosting Cryo DMG and providing a debuff that increases Cryo DMG taken by enemies when Alesh applies Solidification.
- The Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a team-wide DMG buff when Alesh recovers SP, synergizing with his SP-focused kit.
- Eternal Xiranite Gloves as an off-piece significantly improve Ultimate gain efficiency, letting him use his Ultimate more often.
early game support early_gamebeginnersp_regen
This early-game build equips Alesh with accessible gear that boosts his SP recovery and survivability. Fortmaker and the Armored MSGR set focus on his core stats and Ultimate uptime, while the Mordvolt Insulation vest fills gaps in Intellect for his talent. It's a solid foundation before transitioning to the endgame build.

Explanation
Fortmaker's Inspiring essence increases ATK and Arts Intensity, while its Ultimate Gain Boost helps Alesh use his Ultimate more often—key for early SP generation.
Armored MSGR provides a solid Strength boost (his main attribute) and a survival mechanism with 30% damage reduction under 50% HP.
Using the Mordvolt Insulation Vest as an off-piece gives both Strength and Intellect, covering his secondary stat needs for the Veteran Angler talent.
Notes
- Fortmaker is a reliable early weapon that boosts Ultimate gain and provides ATK and Arts Intensity, helping Alesh function as a support.
- Armored MSGR set gives a flat Strength bonus and a defensive boost when HP is low, improving his survivability.
- The Mordvolt Insulation Vest off-piece adds both Strength and Intellect, which are key stats for Alesh.
Build Insights
Alesh is best used as a teammate (AI-controlled) rather than the active character. He excels as a SP battery for the team while also applying Cryo Infliction and Solidification to enemies. He should be paired with characters who can apply Cryo Infliction quickly and those who benefit from frequent SP recovery. His Combo Skill triggers off Arts Reactions, so teams built around reactions (e.g., Endministrator) work well. His Potential 3 provides a 15% ATK buff to the whole team when a Rare Fin is caught, further boosting team damage.
Core Mechanics
- Alesh's Ultimate (One Monster Catch!) deals Cryo DMG, applies Cryo Infliction to a large area, and recovers SP—more SP is gained for each enemy defeated.
- His Battle Skill (Unconventional Lure) consumes all Cryo Infliction stacks on a target to recover SP (up to 4 stacks) and forcibly applies Solidification.
- The Combo Skill (Auger Angling) triggers after an Arts Reaction or Originium Crystal consumption, dealing Physical DMG and recovering a small amount of SP. It has a chance to hook a 'Rare Fin' for bonus damage and extra SP.
Scaling
- Alesh's SP generation scales with the number of enemies hit by his Ultimate and the number of Cryo Infliction stacks consumed by his Battle Skill. He performs best in content with multiple enemies.
- His Talents—Flash-frozen for Freshness (extra Ultimate Energy from Solidification) and Veteran Angler (extra Rare Fin chance based on Intellect)—reward investment in Intellect and team synergy.
Character Notes
Alesh is a 5-star Cryo Vanguard who specializes in generating SP for the team while applying Cryo Infliction and Solidification to enemies. He is designed as a support character best used as an AI-controlled teammate, as his abilities rely on conditions that are easier to fulfill without direct player input. His unique fishing-themed kit involves recovering SP through his Ultimate and Battle Skill, with a chance-based mechanic on his Combo Skill for extra rewards. He is rated A-tier due to his strong utility but inconsistency from RNG elements.
Playstyle
- Keep Alesh as an AI-controlled teammate so he can automatically use his skills to generate SP and apply Cryo effects.
- Use his Ultimate (One Monster Catch!) on groups of enemies to apply Cryo Infliction and recover a large amount of SP—more if enemies are defeated.
- After enemies have Cryo Infliction stacks, his Battle Skill (Unconventional Lure) will consume those stacks to recover even more SP and force Solidification. The more stacks consumed, the more SP gained.
- Trigger his Combo Skill (Auger Angling) by having allies perform Arts Reactions or consume Originium Crystals. This gives a small SP recovery and a chance for a Rare Fin (indicated by a gold fish) that increases damage and SP gain. At Potential 3, it also grants a team ATK buff.
Strengths
- Excellent SP generation for the team, allowing allies to use their Ultimates more frequently.
- Applies Cryo Infliction and the Solidification effect consistently, enabling Arts Reactions and debuffs.
- Works well as an AI teammate, requiring little micromanagement.
Weaknesses
- SP generation from his Battle Skill is capped at one target per use, so it doesn't benefit from hitting multiple enemies.
- The Combo Skill's bonus effects (Rare Fin) are based on luck, making his performance inconsistent.
- Requires teammates that can apply Cryo Infliction quickly to maximize his SP recovery; otherwise, his contribution drops.
Team Guide
early game early_gameshatter_team
This early-game team revolves around the Shatter reaction. Alesh acts as an SP battery and enables Solidification by consuming Cryo infliction. Estella applies Lift and Cryo, Chen Qianyu stacks Vulnerability, and Endministrator consumes all debuffs with Crush for devastating burst damage.
Explanation
Alesh's Battle Skill consumes Cryo infliction to force Solidification, enabling Shatter damage.
Estella's Combo Skill applies Lift and Physical Susceptibility, adding Vulnerability stacks.
Chen Qianyu's skills further stack Vulnerability, which Endministrator consumes with Crush for high burst damage.
Alesh's Ultimate and Combo Skill regenerate SP, keeping the rotation fluid.
Rotation
- 1 Start combat by applying Cryo Infliction using Estella's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate. Then use Alesh's Battle Skill to consume Cryo Infliction and force Solidification.
- 2 Once Solidification is applied, use Estella's Combo Skill to apply Vulnerability through Lift and Physical Susceptibility. If her Ultimate is available, use it to generate another Vulnerability stack.
- 3 Cast Endministrator's Combo Skill to apply Originium Crystals. If her Ultimate is available, use it to consume the crystals and deal burst damage; otherwise, continue the rotation.
- 4 Trigger Chen Qianyu's Combo Skill to apply another Vulnerability stack, then Alesh's Combo Skill to recover SP.
- 5 Cast Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill for another Vulnerability stack. With SP available, use Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume all Vulnerability stacks with Crush.
- 6 Wait for SP, then cast Endministrator's Battle Skill again to consume Vulnerable and trigger Crush.
Focus on consecutive Combo Skills: Alesh forces Solidification, then Estella and Chen Qianyu stack Vulnerability, and Endmin consumes with Crush.
elemental electric_team
An Electric team where Zhuang Fangyi serves as the main DPS. Perlica and Arclight provide Electric Inflictions and SP generation, while Alesh adds extra SP for faster rotations. This setup allows Zhuang Fangyi to spam her skills and Sunderblade mechanics efficiently.
Explanation
Alesh's Combo Skill regenerates SP, which is crucial for Zhuang Fangyi's rotation.
Arclight's Battle Skill consumes Electrification to progress her talent, while Perlica applies Electric Infliction.
Place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi to manage Electrification stacks effectively.
Rotation
- 1 Enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate and cast her free Battle Skill for one stack of Electric Infliction and 3 Sunderblades.
- 2 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill without triggering other Combo Skills yet.
- 3 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to apply level 2 Electrification and consume Electric Inflictions.
- 4 Trigger Arclight's and Alesh's Combo Skills. After Arclight's animation, cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, summon 3 Sunderblades, apply Electric Infliction, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 5 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi without triggering her Combo Skill yet.
- 6 Cast Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to apply a second Electric Infliction stack. If Arclight's Ultimate was used, trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill immediately to consume inflictions before Arclight does.
- 7 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill. Wait for its animation, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification and summon the last 3 Sunderblades.
- 8 Trigger Alesh's and Arclight's Combo Skills to gain SP for the next rotation.
elemental solidification_teamcryo_team
A Cryo-focused Solidification team where Alesh provides SP for rapid rotations. Yvonne deals massive single-target damage through Solidification, with Xaihi amplifying Cryo/Nature damage and Gilberta applying Nature Infliction and Arts Susceptibility. Proper timing of debuffs maximizes burst.
Explanation
Alesh's SP generation ensures Xaihi and Gilberta can maintain buffs on Yvonne.
Yvonne's Battle Skill triggers Solidification for bonus damage.
Gilberta provides Nature Infliction and Arts Susceptibility, while Xaihi amplifies Cryo and Nature damage.
Proper timing of Solidification and Corrosion maximizes burst output.
Rotation
- 1 Begin by applying Nature or Cryo Infliction on enemies using Gilberta's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate.
- 2 Once enemies have an active Infliction, use Yvonne's Battle Skill to cause Solidification. Then cast Gilberta's and Alesh's Combo Skills immediately after.
- 3 Cast Xaihi's Battle Skill and perform a full string of Yvonne's Basic Attacks to trigger Final Strike, which activates Yvonne's Combo Skill, deploying Frost-e-Bytee and re-applying Solidification.
- 4 Do one more Final Strike from Yvonne to trigger Xaihi's Arts Amp, then follow with Xaihi's Combo Skill.
- 5 When enemies are Staggered and Solidified, cast Gilberta's Ultimate to apply Arts Susceptibility.
- 6 Cast Xaihi's Ultimate to amplify Cryo and Nature damage, then cast Yvonne's Ultimate to deal continuous attacks empowered by ally buffs.
- 7 Repeat the rotation until all enemies are defeated.
Timing of Solidification and Corrosion is key: apply inflictions, trigger Solidification, amplify damage with Xaihi and Gilberta, then unleash Yvonne's Ultimate.
Team Insights
Alesh serves primarily as a powerful SP battery, enabling his team to use skills more frequently. His Battle Skill can forcibly apply Solidification by consuming Cryo infliction, making him invaluable in Shatter and Solidification compositions. He is flexible enough to fit into Electric teams where additional energy regeneration is needed. Build him with Haste stats to maximize his SP generation.
Synergy Patterns
- Works well with Cryo characters like Estella, Yvonne, and Xaihi to trigger Solidification.
- Pairs with Endministrator and Chen Qianyu for Shatter combos that stack Vulnerability.
- Supports Electric teams with Arclight and Zhuang Fangyi for faster skill rotations.
Tips
- Keep an eye on Cryo infliction stacks to time Solidification properly.
- Use Alesh's Combo Skill as often as possible to generate SP.
- In Electric teams, place him in the flex slot to supplement Arclight's SP generation.
