Alesh

Cryo Vanguard Sword

Alesh is a former gang leader who has since left that way of life, now working with Endfield while running his own fin shop. Cordial and easy-going, it would be difficult to believe he used to be a thug, if not for his scarred eye. His past experiences are more evident in combat as he still performs solidly in a fight. That being said, he does his best to stick to his new lifestyle, even bringing out his fishing rod as a weapon in the heat of battle.

Unconventional Lure

Battle

Hooks a block of ice and slams it to deal Physical DMG to the enemy target. When hitting a target with Cryo Infliction, Alesh consumes all of the target's Cryo Infliction stacks, forcibly applies Solidification, and recovers some SP based on the number of stacks consumed. The SP recovery effect can only trigger 1 time, even if the skill hits multiple enemies.

Insights

Summary

Alesh is a Cryo Vanguard excelling at generating SP and applying Cryo-based control effects but relies on situational mechanics and team synergy to maintain consistency.

Playstyle

Prioritizes skill combos to trigger SP recovery and apply Cryo Infliction/Solidification, requiring strategic positioning and luck to maximize effectiveness.

Difficulty

Medium

Pros

  • +High SP generation sustains prolonged fights through basic attacks and skill triggers
  • +Cryo Infliction/Solidification provides team-wide control and debuffs
  • +Ultimate scales strongly with enemy count, rewarding area-of-effect damage
  • +Finchaser 3.0 weapon enhances Cryo DMG when Solidification is active
  • +Frontiers gear set amplifies SP regen for endurance-focused builds

Cons

  • −Rare Fin hook mechanic introduces unpredictability in Auger Angling
  • −Effectiveness drops without team support to apply Cryo or freeze enemies
  • −B-tier rating reflects niche utility over raw damage output
  • −SP recovery caps at 100, limiting late-game scalability
  • −Weakness against enemies with Cryo resistance or Solidification immunity

Tips

  • Focus on applying Cryo Infliction before using Unconventional Lure to maximize SP recovery
  • Use team debuffs (e.g., Estella's Physical Susceptibility) to boost ice-based damage
  • Save Alesh's Ultimate for clustered enemy groups to trigger SP bonuses
  • Avoid overcommitting to Auger Angling without Rare Fin in sustained fights
  • Prioritize Angling after securing Cryo Infliction stacks on multiple targets

Common Mistakes

  • !Wasting Ultimate on single targets instead of AoE groups
  • !Failing to position for Rare Fin hook during Auger Angling
  • !Neglecting to pair with Cryo debuffers when using Solidification
  • !Relying on Basic Attacks without triggering SP recovery through skills

Synergy Notes

  • Pairs well with Cryo debuffers (Estella, Xaihi) to amplify dmg and SP recovery
  • Solidification synergizes with physical attackers for burst control
  • SP regen supports teams with high movement or sustain needs
