Alyosha

Swift-Striding Hound

A "professional hunter" and master of the Snezhnayan snowfields. A fierce, distinct "idealism" burns beneath his calm demeanor.

Overview

  • Off-field Electro damage
  • Healer
  • ATK buffer

Alyosha marks enemies and lets his hound finish the job. His Elemental Skill and the last hit of his Normal Attack combo place the Hunter's Mark, and when Tugarin hits a marked enemy the mark activates and grants Hunter's Precision, an ATK buff. His Elemental Burst summons Tugarin and a Fulgurite Hunting Field that taunts enemies and deals Electro damage, and every Tugarin attack heals your active character based on Alyosha's ATK.

He belongs in Snezhnaya's Stellar-Conduct teams, where Odette or Sandrone turn Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct. Inside a Polestar Field his Hunter's Precision also raises Stellar-Conduct damage. His skill and burst gain damage from his Energy Recharge, so build Energy Recharge and ATK first, then crits.

Weapons

Best first. Every polearm on this list links to its page.

  1. Engulfing Lightning ★★★★★

    The best match on paper. It turns his Energy Recharge into ATK, so his healing and his Energy Recharge damage bonus go up together.

  2. Favonius Lance ★★★★

    The most useful 4-star. Energy Recharge and particles help him and the team cast bursts on time. Get some CRIT Rate so the passive triggers.

  3. Frostbreath ★★★★

    A 7.0 Battle Pass polearm. Superconduct counts as a Cryo-related reaction, so in his usual teams it triggers often, giving him ATK and Energy for the rest of the party.

  4. Symphonist of Scents ★★★★★

    A strong 5-star if you have it. It gives more ATK while he is off the field, and his healing triggers its extra ATK for him and the healed character.

  5. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi ★★★★

    A free event polearm with Energy Recharge and ATK after he uses his skill. A fine starter until you have something better.

Artifact sets

  1. Noblesse Oblige 4-piece

    The standard choice. He casts his burst every rotation, so the party gets a reliable ATK buff on top of Hunter's Precision.

  2. Heart of the Furnace 4-piece

    Stellar-Conduct counts as a Stellar Glimmer reaction, so this set raises the whole party's Stellar-Conduct damage, and it works while he is off the field. The party bonus does not stack with a second copy, so use it only when Odette or another teammate is not already wearing it.

  3. Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece

    Pick it if teammates already cover Noblesse Oblige and Heart of the Furnace. Its Energy Recharge and burst damage bonus suit his Energy Recharge passive.

  4. Noblesse Oblige + Gladiator's Finale 2-piece each

    A stopgap with burst damage and ATK while you farm a full set.

Teams

  • Stellar-Conduct core

    Odette and Sandrone turn Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct, and Yae Miko adds a second source of off-field Electro so the reaction keeps going. Alyosha marks, heals and buffs ATK.

  • Odette Stellar-Conduct

    One Stellar-Conduct enabler with two more Electro units. Alyosha's healing means you do not need a separate healer.

  • Rosaria Stellar-Conduct

    Rosaria replaces a 5-star and adds Cryo and CRIT Rate for the team. Easier to build, with Alyosha still covering healing.

  • Budget Stellar-Conduct

    The Cryo Traveler replaces Sandrone as a second Cryo source. Odette alone is enough to turn Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct.

Tips

  • Finish your Normal Attack combo before swapping when you can. The last hit marks the enemy, and Tugarin activates marks when he attacks.
  • Tugarin goes after marked enemies first, so mark the one you want him to focus, usually the biggest threat.
  • The Hunting Field taunts enemies, which pulls attacks away from your active character in tight fights.
  • Energy Recharge raises his skill and burst damage, so extra Energy Recharge beyond what he needs to burst is not wasted.
