SP BatteryCryo SupportSolidification Forcer
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.

Team Guide
elemental early-gameburstshattersolidification
Alesh works well in Shatter teams (early game comp) due to Vulnerability and Shatter synergy for extra damage. Estella is critical for applying Lift and Cryo Infliction. Alesh enables Solidification and provides SP for the team, while Chen Qianyu stacks Vulnerability for Endministrator to consume.
Explanation
Alesh serves as the primary SP generator and buffer in this early-game team composition. Estella is critical for applying both Lift and Cryo Infliction, which enables the Shatter damage pathway. Endministrator acts as the main DPS that consumes Vulnerability stacks for burst damage, while Chen Qiany
u provides additional Vulnerability application to maximize Endministrator's damage output.
Rotation
- 1 Apply Cryo Infliction using Estella's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate
- 2 Use Alesh's Battle Skill to consume Cryo Infliction stacks and forcibly apply Solidification
- 3 Cast Estella's Combo Skill to apply Vulnerability stack through Lift and Physical Susceptibility (use Estella's Ultimate if available for additional stack)
- 4 Trigger Endministrator's Combo Skill to apply Originium Crystals, then use Endministrator's Ultimate to consume them for burst damage if available
- 5 Use Chen Qianyu's Combo Skill to apply another Vulnerability stack, followed by Alesh's Combo Skill to recover SP
- 6 Cast Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill for additional Vulnerability stack, then use Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume all Vulnerability stacks with Crush when SP is available
- 7 Wait for SP generation, then cast Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume Vulnerability and trigger Crush
The Shatter team focuses on consecutive Combo Skills triggered one after another for massive damage. Alesh is essential for forcing Solidification so Endministrator and Chen Qianyu can deal Shatter damage effectively. Estella provides the necessary Cryo Infliction and Lift application to enable the damage pathway.
elemental electriczhuang-fangyisp-generationrotation
Alesh supports Electric teams with Zhuang Fangyi by providing additional SP for smoother rotations. The team relies on Perlica and Arclight for Electric Infliction application, with Alesh spamming Combo Skills to maintain SP flow for continuous high-damage rotations.
Explanation
Alesh provides supplementary SP generation to enable smoother rotations for Zhuang Fangyi's high-damage kit. Perlica and Arclight are essential for applying Electrification and Electric Infliction stacks. The team relies on Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate and Battle Skills for primary damage,
with Alesh spamming Combo Skills to maintain SP availability for continuous rotations.
Rotation
- 1 Enter Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate and cast her free Battle Skill for Electric Infliction stack and 3 Sunderblades
- 2 Perform Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill (do not trigger 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, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, summon 3 Sunderblades, and apply Electric Infliction. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again
- 5 Perform Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi (do not trigger her Combo Skill yet)
- 6 Cast Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to apply second Electric Infliction stack. If Arclight's Ultimate is used, trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill immediately to consume inflictions before Arclight does
- 7 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, wait for animation to finish, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification and summon final 3 Sunderblades
- 8 Trigger Alesh's and Arclight's Combo Skills to generate SP for next rotation
Alesh's primary role is SP generation through frequent Combo Skill usage. Place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi to allow Arclight to consume weaker Electrification and progress Wildland Trekker Talent. Wait for Arclight's Combo Skill animation to finish before proceeding to ensure proper cooldown management.
elemental solidificationcryosingle-targetbuff-comp
Alesh excels in Solidification comps with Cryo units and flexible non-Cryo inflictors like Gilberta. He provides SP for consistent rotations, enabling Xaihi's buffs and Gilberta's support toward Yvonne's single-target damage. The team maximizes Yvonne's output through proper Solidification and Corrosion timing.
Explanation
Alesh performs exceptionally well in Solidification teams, particularly with Cryo units and a flexible non-Cryo inflictor like Gilberta. He provides consistent SP to enable Xaihi's buffs and Gilberta's support abilities towards Yvonne, the primary single-target DPS. This composition maximizes Yvonne
's damage output through proper timing of Solidification and Corrosion effects.
Rotation
- 1 Apply Nature or Cryo Infliction through Gilberta's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate on enemies
- 2 Once enemies have active Infliction, use Yvonne's Battle Skill to cause Solidification, then cast Gilberta's Combo Skill and Alesh's Combo Skill immediately after
- 3 Cast Xaihi's Battle Skill and perform full string of Yvonne's Basic Attacks to trigger Final Strike, which activates Yvonne's Combo Skill (deploying Frost-e-Bytee) and re-applies Solidification
- 4 Perform one more Final Strike with Yvonne to trigger Xaihi's Arts Amp, then follow up with her Combo Skill
- 5 When enemies are Staggered and Solidified, cast Gilberta's Ultimate to apply Arts Susceptibility, then Xaihi's Ultimate to amplify Cryo and Nature DMG
- 6 Cast Yvonne's Ultimate to deal continuous attacks while empowered by allies' buffs
- 7 Repeat basic attack strings with Alesh's Ultimate for additional empowerment, followed by Gilberta's Ultimate
- 8 Continue Yvonne's Basic Attacks until Ultimate ends, then trigger Alesh's Combo Skill for SP recovery
- 9 Use Xaihi's Combo Skill to maintain buffs and Arts Amp
This team requires precise timing of Solidification and Corrosion to maximize DPS. Support units funnel DMG Amp and Arts Susceptibility to Yvonne for optimal Ultimate damage, while Alesh provides dedicated SP generation for consistent rotation execution. Proper sequencing of buffs and debuffs is crucial for peak performance.
Team Insights
Alesh excels as an SP generator and buffer in team compositions. He works best when paired with units that can capitalize on his ability to force Solidification and provide consistent SP for rotations.
Synergy Patterns
- Shatter Teams - works with Estella, Endministrator, and Chen Qianyu for early game burst
- Electric Teams - supports Zhuang Fangyi by providing SP for smoother rotations
- Solidification Teams - pairs well with Cryo units like Yvonne and Xaihi for sustained damage
Tips
- Use Alesh's Combo Skill frequently to maintain SP flow for the team
- Time his Battle Skill to consume Cryo Infliction stacks for maximum efficiency
- Consider him as a flex support in teams needing consistent SP generation
