Release7.0

A young Snezhnayan hunter who fights with his faithful hound Tugarin, Alyosha is an Electro support for Stellar-Conduct teams. His Skill marks enemies, and his Burst sends Tugarin to activate those marks, giving the active character ATK, Stellar-Conduct DMG and steady healing. Modest at C0, he becomes an excellent support at C6.

Normal Attack

His Skill level raises the ATK buff of Hunter's Precision; his Burst level only increases his own (minor) damage. Beyond the ER target, his buffs do not depend on his stats.

Teams

Recommended teams

Sandrone Stellar-Conduct

With C6 Alyosha, one of Sandrone's two best teams: every buff lands on her, and Tugarin keeps her healthy.

Cyno Stellar-Conduct

Cyno is an on-field Stellar-Conduct carry who relies on Cryo teammates to enable the reaction; Alyosha adds Electro, ATK and healing.

Accessible Stellar-Conduct

Only 4-stars plus the free Cryo Traveler as the carry: C6 Beidou and C6 Diona fill the Electro and Cryo slots.

Guide

How to play

How he works

  • Thunderbolt Strike (Skill; tap or hold to aim) deals Electro DMG and applies a Hunter's Mark. Hitting a marked enemy again activates it and grants the active character Hunter's Precision for 15s: +21.2% ATK at talent level 10 (25% at C3).
  • Into the Fray: inside a Polestar Field he enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, and Hunter's Precision also gives the on-field character +20% Stellar-Conduct DMG.
  • Hunter's Advance (Burst, 70 Energy) summons his hound Tugarin and a Fulgurite Hunting Field that taunts enemies and deals Electro DMG every 2s. Tugarin bites every 2s, targets marked enemies first and activates their marks.
  • Awakened by the Baying Hounds: each of Tugarin's attacks heals the active character for 120% of Alyosha's ATK.

Rotation

  1. E to mark enemies, then Q, and swap to your carry. (At C2 you can do Q then E to funnel his particles to a teammate.)
  2. Since each activation lasts 15s, from C2 onward (longer Burst) he can Burst every other rotation in short rotations.

His buffs only affect the active character, so he fits best with on-field carries like Sandrone, Cyno or the Cryo Traveler rather than off-field damage dealers.

Strengths

  • Huge single-target buffs at C6: about +50% ATK, +40% Stellar-Conduct DMG and +100 EM
  • Healing and taunting on the same Burst
  • Very simple E + Q support
  • A good alternative for Sandrone players without Yae Miko

Weaknesses

  • Only buffs and heals the active character (until C4 for healing)
  • Heavily constellation-dependent; before C6, Qiqi often does the job better
  • Very high Energy needs as the only Electro unit

Notable dupes · Constellation

C1
Solid upgrade

15 Energy when the party triggers an Electro reaction (every 18s): lowers his ER needs a lot.

C2
Optional

+6s Burst duration and Tugarin applies marks: better uptime, allowing a Burst every other rotation.

C4
Optional

Tugarin also heals the party member with the lowest HP, not just the active character.

C6
Big upgrade

Hunter's Precision stacks twice (about 50% ATK and 40% Stellar-Conduct DMG) and grants +100 EM: the constellation that makes him competitive.
