Alesh Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Alesh build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Alesh is a 5-star Sword Vanguard Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Cryo element.

In our Alesh guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Alesh, from building the best Gear and Weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.

Alesh's Best Weapons

Suppression: Fin Chaser's Intent (9/9):
ATK +14%.
When the wielder's battle skill applies Solidification, target enemy suffers Cryo DMG Taken +19.6% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.

is Alesh's signature weapon, and will likely be a better pick than the below 6-star option despite the difference in rarity. It is a simple yet effective weapon, applying a damage increase to the target when applying with his Battle Skill. Tailor-made for Alesh!

Flow: Thermal Release (4/9):
ATK +16%.
After the wielder's skill recovers SP or grants a Link state, the entire team gains ATK +8% for 20s.
Max stacks for effects of the same name: 2. Duration of each stack is counted separately.

It may be surprising, but could be quite useful on Alesh despite not matching his Main or Secondary attribute. His SP restoration on his Battle Skill will allow him to grant the buff of the weapon to the team, further boosting his ability to not only generate resources for the team, but also boost their damage.

Best Gear for Alesh

3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%.
When the wearer recovers SP with a skill, the team gains DMG +18% for 12s. Effect trigger cooldown: 30s.

is the best set for Alesh, providing all the attributes he needs. It also grants a team-wide damage boost after recovering SP, which is one of the reasons you are playing Alesh in the first place. Reducing his Combo Skill's cooldown is a nice bonus as well.

Body: Frontiers Set — Strength, Intellect, Ultimate Skill Efficiency
Hand: Frontiers Offpiece — Agility, Intellect, Normal Skill Efficiency
Kit 1: Frontiers Set — Strength, Intellect, Cryo & Electric DMG
Kit 2: Frontiers Set — Strength, Intellect, Cryo & Electric DMG

Leveling Gear for Alesh

3-piece set effect: Wearer's Intellect +50.
When the wearer's HP is above 80%, Arts DMG +20%.

This set provides plenty of Strength and Intellect, as well as Arts DMG increases across the entire set, making this ideal as a cheaper gear set for the early and mid-game. Even in the later stages, this set offers everything Alesh needs, so this set may still be viable later into the game, allowing you to focus on improving other Operators first.

Body: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Strength, HP%
Hand: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Strength, ATK/li>
Kit 1: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, Cryo & Electric DMG
Kit 2: Mordvolt Insulation Set — Intellect, ATK%

Alesh's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: > > >

Prioritize leveling Alesh's Combo Skill and Basic Skill, as they will be your main source of SP generation. His Ultimate and Basic can be somewhat ignored, as the Ult only restores large amounts of SP when it actually kills enemies, and he is not built for damage.

How to Play Alesh

Alesh wants to consume Cryo as much as he can in order to restore SP, and buff the team and providing Solidification on demand. He will generally be the second character you use your Battle Skill on, requiring another Operator to apply Cryo Infliction first, before he can follow up with a Battle Skill of his own. This will solidify the enemy, which can now be shattered by a potent Physical DPS for big burst.
