Constellations
Overall, C2 Alyosha is a good stopping point and comes highly recommended, as this Constellation and the previous one already provide a nice gameplay experience for Alyosha.
Constellation Details:
◆ C1: Frostvale Thunderclap
Alyosha regenerates 15 Elemental Energy when nearby party members trigger an Electro-related reaction on an opponent. This effect can trigger once every 18s.
◆ C2: Howl From Afar
The duration of the Elemental Burst Hunter's Advance is extended by 6s.
Additionally, each time Tugarin attacks the opponent, he will also apply the Hunter's Mark to a target. This effect does not activate existing Hunter's Marks.
◆ C3: Friendly Call
Increases the Level of the Elemental Skill Thunderbolt Strike by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
◆ C4: Harvest the Spoils
When Tugarin attacks, he will also restore 60% of Alyosha's ATK as HP to the nearby party member with the lowest HP by percentage.
◆ C5: When the Nightbird Falls Silent
Increases the Level of the Elemental Burst Hunter's Advance by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
◆ C6: Standard Reclaimed
The Hunter's Precision effect obtained from activating a Hunter's Mark can now stack, max 2 stacks. When the stack count reaches 2, currently active party members will also have their Elemental Mastery increased by 100.
Weapons
The following weapons are recommended for Alyosha:
- [BEST FOR ATK BUFF] Symphonist of Scents | CRIT DMG (5-star)
ATK is increased by 12%. When the equipping character is off-field, ATK is increased by an additional 12%. After initiating healing, the equipping character and the character(s) they have healed will obtain the "Sweet Echoes" effect, increasing their ATK by 32% for 3s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is off-field.
◆ This weapon synergises with Alyosha’s healing skills, making it easy to provide an ATK buff. High Base ATK and the ATK% bonus from the passive effect are also worth mentioning.
- [BEST IN GENERAL] Favonius Lance (Refinement 5) | Energy Recharge (4-star)
CRIT Hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
◆ Favonius Lance is definitely a powerful weapon for all Support characters, especially Alyosha, who really needs Energy Recharge, high Base ATK, and the capability to reduce his teammates' Energy requirements. Using this weapon is more than enough and impressive.
- Frostbreath | Energy Recharge (4-star)
Triggering a Cryo or Hydro-related elemental reaction increases the equipping character's ATK by 20% for the next 15s, as well as regenerates 6 Elemental Energy for other members of their party. This effect can trigger once every 16s.
◆ This new weapon is similar to the Favonius Lance, offering Energy Recharge which is useful for Alyosha, as well as ATK% and the capability to generate Elemental Energy for teammates.
- Engulfing Lightning | Energy Recharge (5-star)
ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.
◆ Engulfing Lightning is actually a solid weapon as it offers high ATK% and Energy Recharge, but the lack of benefits for teammates is also worth considering.
- Skyward Spine | Energy Recharge (5-star)
Increases CRIT Rate by 8% and increases Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Additionally, Normal and Charged Attacks hits on opponents have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% of ATK as DMG in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every 2s.
◆ Skyward Spine is also a weapon that’s easy to obtain from the Standard Banner or when you lose; it can still be a viable option for Alyosha thanks to its high Base ATK and Energy Recharge.
- Tamayuratei no Ohanashi (Refinement 5) | Energy Recharge (4-star)
Increase ATK by 40% and Movement SPD by 10% for 10s when using an Elemental Skill.
◆ This event weapon is useful for Alyosha as it offers Energy Recharge and a high ATK%, so there’s no problem using it.
- Song of the Vigil | Elemental Mastery (4-star)
Triggering an Elemental Reaction regenerates 4 Elemental Energy for the equipping character. This effect can trigger once every 9s. On the other hand, triggering a Stellar Glimmer reaction increases their ATK by 20% for 12s. The aforementioned effects can trigger even when the character is not on the field.
◆ This weapon is also good for Alyosha, as it provides Elemental Energy and ATK%, though the Elemental Mastery it offers doesn’t seem useful for Alyosha.
The conclusion is that Alyosha can freely equip 5-star or 4-star weapons with high Base ATK and Energy Recharge, which are useful for boosting his support effectiveness to teammates and making it easier for him to charge up his Elemental Burst. When Alyosha is the only Electro character in the team and is still at C0, he is actually highly dependent on Energy Recharge.
Best Artifacts and Stats
As a Support related to Stellar-Conduct, Alyosha has multiple options depending on his team’s situation.
Recommended Artifacts for Alyosha:
- [BEST] Heart of the Furnace - 4 Piece
2-Piece: ATK +18%.
4-Piece: Increases the equipping character's ATK by 12% for 12s when they trigger a Stellar Glimmer reaction or deal Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG. Also increases Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG dealt by all nearby party members by 50%. The above effects can trigger even when the equipping character is not on the field, and the DMG bonus from multiple Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.
◆ Heart of the Furnace is a recommended set for Alyosha to boost the Stellar-Conduct reaction DMG on his team. Yes, he can use this set when there are no other users of this artifact in his team.
Recommended Main Stats & Sub-Stats for Alyosha:
For Main Stats:
Sands of Eon: Energy Recharge or ATK%.
Goblet of Eonothem: ATK%.
Circlet of Logos: ATK%.
In general, Energy Recharge is the preferred choice for Alyosha, as it allows him to unleash his Elemental Burst more often.
For Sub-Stats: ATK% - Energy Recharge - CRIT Rate.
Other Artifacts
Other Artifacts for Alyosha:
- Noblesse Oblige - 4 Piece
2-Piece: Elemental Burst DMG +20%
4-Piece: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.
◆ A good option when there’s a Heart of the Furnace holder on Alyosha’s team. Noblesse is useful because can provide an ATK buff in various situations, whether within the team’s Stellar-Conduct teams or outside of it.
- Instructor - 4 Piece
2-Piece: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
4-Piece: Upon triggering an Elemental Reaction, increases all party members' Elemental Mastery by 120 for 8s.
◆ Although it’s a 4-star artifact set, Instructor is still considered a solid choice for granting the Elemental Mastery buff to teammates.
Yes, there are actually two possible choices: Heart of the Furnace or Noblesse Oblige, so feel free to check your team.
Materials
Here are the materials required to upgrade Alyosha’s Character and Talents:
- Flockingweed
Flockingweed is a Local Specialty found in Snezhnaya.
- Chimeric Core, Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus, Prime Chimeric Nexus
Dropped by Aberrant Chimeric Monsters in Snezhnaya.
- Fortitude Books | (Tuesday/Friday/Sunday)
Obtained from Relics of the Fallen Grace in Snezhnaya.
- Severed Tail of the Sky-Roamer | Normal Boss
Dropped by Lv. 30+ Chimeric Winged Lion in Snezhnaya.
- Elixir of the Heretic | Weekly Boss
Obtained from Lv. 70+ Heretic of the False Moon in Nod-Krai.
The total materials required may vary, as Alyosha only needs to upgrade certain Talents.
Talents
Alyosha’s Elemental Skill is the absolute priority and the only one worth investing in, as it increases the ATK buff it provides. We don’t need an Elemental Burst that just increases his Personal Damage, as Alyosha himself doesn’t contribute much in regard to Damage.
So, Alyosha’s recommended talent upgrades are:
Elemental Skill
- Elemental Skill: Thunderbolt Strike
Follows his hunter's instincts. Tap or hold to produce different effects as well as apply the Hunter's Mark effect to the hit opponents.
Tapping
Fires at opponents in front of him, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
Holding
Enters aiming mode, then targets opponents within a certain area in front of him. Alyosha's Interruption RES is enhanced when in this mode.
At the end of the button hold, he deals Electro DMG to the targeted opponents.
Team Line-Ups
Alyosha can team up with the Stellar Conduct team as a Support~Healer, boosting the effects of Stellar-Conduct or he can join various teams that require an ATK buff and Electro application from off the field.
Team 01:
A strong team featuring Sandrone as a Stellar-Conduct DPS, supported by Yae Miko and Odette, whilst Alyosha will help them with his healing and buffs. (Alyosha can use 4 Pc Noblesse Oblige here because Odette is using 4 Pc Heart of the Furnace)
Team 02:
A strong team featuring Cyno and Qiqi, who have received new blessings. It is very similar to Team 01, except that the DPS role is filled by Cyno, an Electro character, supported by Odette, Qiqi and Alyosha.
Team 03:
This team is quite friendly as Traveler (Cryo) are invited to join as Stellar-Conduct DPS, supported by Odette, Sucrose and Alyosha. Sucrose can be replaced with Beidou.
