Alesh Overview

Alesh is a Cryo support damage dealer focused on generating SP while enabling Solidification through his skills. His playstyle revolves around consuming Cryo Infliction to apply Solidification, then activating his Combo skill when Arts Reactions are consumed. He converts these interactions into sustained damage and SP generation through frequent Combo usage. Alesh performs best in teams that can consistently apply Cryo and trigger reaction consumption, allowing him to maintain high Combo uptime and support smooth, continuous rotations.

Alesh Skill Priority

Skill	Priority	Reason
Basic Attack	★	Lowest priority. Rarely used as Alesh relies more on his skills for damage and SP generation.
Battle Skill	★	High priority due to its SP recovery and ability to convert Cryo Infliction into Solidification, enabling team setups.
Combo Skill	★	Provides SP and damage, but less consistent since it depends on reaction consumption to trigger.
Ultimate	★	Top priority. Applies Cryo Infliction, generates SP, and plays a key role in enabling his overall rotation and team synergy,

Alesh Best Weapons and Essence Priority

Alesh is a Cryo support damage dealer who scales mainly with Strength, with Intellect as a secondary stat. His kit revolves around frequent skill usage and SP generation. Weapons that provide ATK% and consistent buffs are the most valuable for Alesh. For Alesh's weapon, prioritize options that improve ATK%, damage consistency, and rotation efficiency, as these align best with his playstyle.

For Alesh. Thermite Cutter is the best option, it offers excellent synergy with his kit by providing a strong ATK% buff. Since Alesh can consistently generate SP, he can fully utilize this weapon’s effect, making it the strongest option for both his personal damage and overall team performance. Alternatives like Fortmaker provide useful Ultimate Gain and are solid F2P options, while Finchaser 3.0 offers niche value through Cryo DMG Taken%, but is less consistent and more restrictive in team setups.
