Overview
Alyosha provides off-field Electro application, party healing, enemy taunt, and ATK buffs through Hunter's Precision. His burst Hunter's Advance is his most important ability—build Energy Recharge to cast it every rotation. His passive Into the Fray directly buffs Stellar-Conduct damage for the team.
How to Play
Cast burst for Electro hound, healing, and taunt, then skill for Hunter's Mark and additional ATK buff. Swap off-field immediately—Alyosha's value is passive support. His skill and burst damage scale with ATK and Energy Recharge (Farewell, Winter Wheat passive). Prioritize burst talent leveling.
Optimal Rotation
Odette Burst/Skill → Alyosha Burst → Alyosha Skill → Sandrone Skill → Sandrone Burst → Sandrone on-field. Refresh Alyosha burst before hound expires. In non-Stellar teams: Bennett Burst → Alyosha Burst/Skill → Main DPS on-field.
F2P Options
Alyosha is expected free from the Snezhnaya Archon Quest—every account gets a Stellar support at launch. Favonius Lance from crafting is his best weapon. Noblesse 4pc from Mondstadt domain. C0 Alyosha fully enables Sandrone teams without pulling premium supports.
Common Mistakes
Building pure CRIT without ER—burst downtime kills healing and Electro uptime. Staying on-field with Alyosha—he's a quickswap support. Ignoring Noblesse or Stellar Support sets—party ATK buffs multiply his value. Using Alyosha in teams without reaction drivers—pair with Cryo Stellar carries or Electro DPS.
