Alyosha's Stat Priority

: ATK % / Energy Recharge

: ATK %

: ATK % / CRIT Rate (With Favonius)

Substats: Energy Recharge (to requirements) > ATK % > CRIT Rate (With Favonius)

Alyosha mainly needs two stats: Energy Recharge and ATK. Energy Recharge is important because his Elemental Burst is his main source of damage, healing, and Electro application, and he wants to use it every rotation. His passive Suffer the Winter Wheat Will also increases his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage based on his Energy Recharge.

ATK is also valuable because Alyosha's healing scales from ATK, and it also increases his personal damage. If you are using Favonius Lance, you should also build enough CRIT Rate to trigger the weapon passive reliably.

Recommended Stats for Alyosha

Build recommendations assume a support-focused Alyosha. His exact Energy Recharge needs will depend on the team, weapon, and whether another Electro character is present.

Alyosha's Talent Priority

Alyosha's Elemental Burst, Hunter's Advance, is his most important talent because it provides his main off-field Electro application, damage, and healing. His Elemental Skill, Thunderbolt Strike, should be leveled next because it provides additional damage and activates Hunter's Mark. His Normal Attack can usually be ignored.

How to Play Alyosha

Alyosha is an Electro Burst support whose playstyle follows a simple support rotation. In most teams, you use his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, then swap to your main DPS.

His Elemental Burst, Hunter's Advance, is the most important part of his kit. It summons Tugarin and creates a Fulgurite Hunting Field, which provides off-field Electro damage and healing. This is especially important in Stellar Conduct teams, where Alyosha needs to maintain consistent Electro application.

His Elemental Skill, Thunderbolt Strike, applies Hunter's Mark and helps activate Hunter's Precision, providing additional buffs for the team. Because of this, Alyosha should use his Skill every rotation before swapping out.

Alyosha wants a large amount of Energy Recharge so he can cast his Elemental Burst every rotation, while also stacking ATK to improve his healing and personal damage. His role is not to stay on-field for long, but to set up his buffs, apply Electro, heal the team, and enable stronger Stellar Conduct damage.

Alyosha's Best Constellations

Alyosha has several interesting constellations, and because he is a 4-Star character, they will be more accessible for many players over time.

Frostvale Thunderclap (C1) is a useful quality-of-life constellation that helps solve his Energy requirements. It regenerates Energy when nearby party members trigger Electro-related reactions, making it easier for Alyosha to use his Elemental Burst every rotation.

Howl From Afar (C2) should be the first major goal. It extends the duration of Hunter's Advance by 6 seconds, giving Alyosha much better uptime on his Burst effects. This is a massive upgrade for the entire team, especially in Stellar Conduct teams.

Standard Reclaimed (C6) is his strongest support constellation. It allows Hunter's Precision to stack up to 2 times, and at 2 stacks it also increases the Elemental Mastery of affected characters by 100. This greatly improves Alyosha's value as a Stellar Conduct support and makes him one of the strongest supports for this reaction archetype.
