As a Support
Alyosha is introduced as a Stellar-Conduct generalist that deals personal damage, buffs team ATK, and heals teammates on hits from his Elemental Burst. While he himself is nothing revolutionary since he cannot enable Stellar reactions on his own, he has the identity of a true Stellar-Conduct flex slot that can catch the team in their shortcomings, boosting healing, ATK, and damage output, but not being the best at any of them. This strength is further amplified the more Constellations he has, which usually becomes the norm for 4-stars as enough time passes.

One thing to note is that he is more comparable to standard healer-buffer supports when not placed with Stellar-Conduct allies, so his value in a team is also reliant on whether or not he is with his Best-in-Slots.

Alyosha Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Incredible support for Stellar-Conduct teams.
• Buffs the active character with ATK, boosting DMG to units that scale with ATK.
• Can deal off-field Electro DMG, allowing for relevant reaction to be triggered.
Weaknesses
• Very reliant on having him on C6 to be competitive with other units.
• His Elemental Burst has a small field.
• Does not synergize well to units that do not want to be healed, particularly Wriothesley.

A Cyno variation of a Stellar-Conduct team.

Most of Alyosha’s utility comes from his Elemental Burst, which scales with ATK, so the main stats you want are Energy Recharge and ATK. Based on this, you would want Energy Recharge/ATK for Sands and Goblet. You can substitute the ER Sands with ATK if you have already met the ER Requirements.

If you’re using a Favonius, you can opt for a CRIT Rate on Circlet. Otherwise, go for an ATK instead.

Alyosha normally uses Noblesse Oblige, but should switch to Heart of the Furnace if no one else is holding it.

Alyosha Stat Goal Values

Stat Goal Value
Energy Recharge 180~230%
ATK 2,000~3,000
CRIT Rate 50%~60%

Prioritize Energy Recharge first before shifting towards ATK, as he really needs to consistently use his Elemental Burst in every rotation.

Other than that, if you’re using Favonius, you will want to have CRIT Rate as well for team-wide Energy Particles.

Alyosha Talent Priority

1st 2nd 3rd
Elemental Burst Elemental Skill Normal Attack

Elemental Burst is the first and major priority to level up since the bulk of his utility is consolidated in his Burst. Elemental Skill mostly for damage and to activate Hunter's Mark.

Normal Attacks can be entirely ignored, as it doesn't do anything.

Alyosha Best Weapons

Energy Recharge Polearms Are Priority

Engulfing Lightning is his best-in-slot weapon for its Energy Recharge and ATK boost that it can give, with Symphonist of Scents being a close second. A great F2P alternative is the Favonius Lance for the Energy Recharge and particles it can give for the entire team.

Otherwise, you can use the event weapon, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi, or the new craftable weapon, Song of the Vigil.

Best Polearms for Alyosha

Best Weapons for Alyosha
Best-in-Slot
Engulfing Lightning is objectively his best weapon, as not only does it give Energy Recharge, but it converts a percentage of it into ATK, alleviating both of Alyosha’s main stats.
Best Alt
Symphonist of Scents feeds into Alyosha's ATK, personal damage, and healing all in one weapon. He can activate both its conditions easily, which helps both his own damage and the on-field character's.
Alternative
The best F2P alternative as usual. It massively alleviates Alyosha’s Energy Recharge needs, but also the entire team, as it gives energy particles when triggering CRIT.
F2P (Event)
This even weapon can give both Energy Recharge and ATK when using Elemental Skill. His Skill is naturally part of his rotation to deal damage and activate Hunter’s Mark.
F2P (Craftable)
This weapon can increase Stellar Glimmer DMG and ATK. However, Alyosha has to be the one to trigger the Polestar Field, which unfortunately isn’t the case for the most part.

Alyosha Best Artifacts

Noblesse Oblige is Best in Slot

Since Alyosha primarily relies on his Elemental Burst, Noblesse Oblige is a natural choice for this to give himself and the entire team an ATK boost.

Alternative options are Heart of Furnace for the Stellar DMG buff if there are no other units equipping it, or a double 2-pc ATK artifact as a temporary option.

We highly recommend using Noblesse Oblige in most cases.

Best Artifacts for Alyosha

Best Artifact Sets for Alyosha
Best-in-Slot
This is Alyosha's best-in-slot because of how much it synergizes with his playstyle. Moreover, most of his teammates scale off ATK, so the ATK bonus this set gives is highly appreciated.
Alternative
A supportive set for Stellar DMG, and it can also increase Alyosha's ATK. This is used if other characters in the team already have Noblesse Oblige, or none have it equipped yet.
Temporary/
F2P

A 2-pc ATK combo can be used during the early build phase as a temporary set while you farm for more preferable artifacts. The 4-star variants should also still suffice.

Alyosha Artifact Stat Priority

Stat Priority
Genshin - Hourglass
Energy Recharge or ATK%
Genshin - Goblet
ATK%
Genshin - Circlet
ATK% or CRIT Rate
Substats:
Energy Recharge > ATK% > Flat ATK > CRIT Rate
Summary:
• Prioritize Energy Recharge, not only for his Burst, but also for his A4 passive.
• ATK% since his healing scales off of it, but also increases his personal DMG.
• CRIT Rate if you are using Favonius. Otherwise, just go for ATK.

List of Artifacts and Set Bonuses

Alyosha Best Team Comps

Works Best in Stellar-Conduct

Alyosha is mainly played in Stellar-Conduct teams since his playstyle revolves around the Hunter’s Mark, which can increase Stellar-Conduct DMG. He primarily shines as an off-field Electro Sub-DPS that can provide massive buffs for the entire team.

Granted, you can still use him for non-Stellar--Conduct teams, as he still provides an ATK boost and off-field DMG, such as Overload teams.

Stellar-Conduct Teams

Alyosha's Best Stellar-Conduct Team
Genshin - Alyosha Alyosha Genshin - Sandrone Sandrone
Genshin - Cyno Cyno
Genshin - Odette Odette
Genshin - Traveler (Cryo) Traveler (Cryo)
Genshin - Yae Miko Yae Miko (C1)
Genshin - Fischl Fischl
Genshin - Sucrose Sucrose
Team Summary
Alyosha provides ATK, healing, and Stellar-Conduct-DMG for the entire team, while Odette and Yae Miko makes up the core of the team, as they both complement each other.
Alternate Teammates
If you don't have Odette and Yae Miko, you can opt for Cryo Traveler and Fischl. Sucrose is chosen as a F2P option if you lack Cryo or Electro units.

There are two DPS that you can choose: Sandrone and Cyno. All of them have very little to no difference when it comes to team composition.

Overload Teams

Alyosha's Best Overload Team
Genshin - Alyosha Alyosha Genshin - Arlecchino Arlecchino
Genshin - Varesa Varesa
Genshin - Clorinde Clorinde
Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Fischl Fischl
Genshin - Nicole Nicole
Genshin - Iansan Iansan
Team Summary
In this team archetype, Alyosha mainly provides ATK, healing, and off-field Electro DMG. Chevreuse is the premier Overload support, so she's practically non-negotiable for most cases.
Alternate Teammates
There are three DPS that you can choose: Arlecchino, Varesa, and Clorinde. All three will perform similarly, but may have differences in team composition, especially with Varesa.

In most cases, you should use Fischl in an Overload team, but if you find yourself needing more ATK boost or a shield, use Nicole. For Varesa teams, you should use Iansan since they synergize very well.

Notable Teammates

Alternative Explanation
Genshin - Sandrone Sandrone
Genshin - Cyno Cyno
Main DPS
The two options for Stellar-Conduct DPS. Both of these characters have very similar team compositions and usually overlap with one another.

Regardless, they are all viable for Alyosha's team comps.
Genshin - Odette Odette Support
Both can buff Stellar-Conduct DMG and Odette being Cryo means that they can trigger Polestar Field. Alyosha can also help Odette with her ATK needs because of his Buffs.
Genshin - Arlecchino Arlecchino
Genshin - Varesa Varesa
Genshin - Clorinde Clorinde
Main DPS
The three options for Overload DPS. The DPS that are presented here can benefit a lot from Alyosha's ATK buff and off-field Electro DMG.

All are great with Alyosha as a team member.
Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Support
The best Overload support. She and Alyosha can work together, with the latter providing off-field Electro DMG, so the team can easily trigger

Alyosha Constellations

Constellation and Effects

Alyosha's Constellations
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.

Best Constellation Rating and Explanation

Rating Constellation Effect / Merits
C1 ★★☆ • Alleviates Alyosha's Energy Recharge needs when triggering Electro reactions.
C2 ★★☆ • More duration for his Elemental Burst.
• Ease of applying Hunter's Mark.
C6 ★★★ • Provides massive boost in his already existing utility.
• On top of that, also provides an EM boost.

C6 is a Must Have

Just like most 4-star support characters, Alyosha is also very reliant on his Constellation 6, and for a good reason.

Alyosha needs this in order to be competitive toward other units.

How to Play Alyosha

Elemental Burst-Focused Electro Unit

Alyosha fulfills two roles in the team in the form of bringing Electro application to trigger Stellar-Conduct with, and having his Elemental Burst heal his team while dealing damage.

In addition, he has a mechanic called Hunter's Mark, which seems to be triggered by his Elemental Skill and applies an ATK buff.

Elemental Skill Applies and Triggers Hunter's Mark

His Elemental Skill either makes him shoot an enemy with his rifle, or inflict Electro DMG in a cone on the ground, applying a status effect called Hunter's Mark on an enemy, which provides an ATK boost to teammates if Alyosha triggers this mark.

Its main use will be to apply Electro onto opponents and trigger Hunter's Mark to grant allies an ATK buff.

Elemental Burst Taunts, Attacks, and Heals

Alyosha's main use case is to use his Elemental Burst, summoning an Electro field that repeatedly taunts and damages enemies within its area of effect, prioritizing Hunter's Marked opponents. In addition, the damage from this field also heals his allies.

This makes it easier for allies to trigger Stellar-Conduct due to Alyosha's field giving you an effective killzone on enemies if you have both an Electro and Cryo unit capable of Stellar-Conduct.

Passive Talent 1

Awakened by the Baying Hounds
When Tugarin attacks, it will also restore HP to nearby active characters at 120% of Alyosha's ATK.

Heals the Entire Team

Alyosha can heal the entire team when Tugarin Attacks based on Alyosha's ATK. This makes ATK a more valuable stat for Alyosha for the survivability of the team.

Passive Talent 2

Suffer the Winter Wheat Will
Increases the DMG Alyosha deals with his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst by 0.35% for every 1% of his Energy Recharge. Up to a 70% increase can be obtained in this way.

Increases Alyosha's Personal DMG Based on His Energy

Alyosha's Elemental Skill and Burst DMG increased depending on his Energy Recharge. Alyosha already needs a lot of ER because of his Burst-centric playstyle, so this is a nice touch to further incentivize building him that way.

Shows Snezhnaya Local Specialties

Similar to Odette, Alyosha can pinpoint Snezhnaya Local Specialties on the map, making for a much easier time when searching for these resources.

Yeah, apparently the ATK buff is based onthe recipient's base ATK.... so any extra ATK for alyosha increases healing and ult damage. wtf..... why can't they state this clearly?

14 Puddsky Puddsky 7 days

If you're saying that Alyosha's pros are atk-buffing, why in god's name is his elemental skill, that does the most supporting, not the first priority?? His ult literally just increases tugarin dmg. Not healing, and half of his ult's damage is based on ER.......
