What attribute is Alesh?

Alesh is a 5-star Cryo operator of the Vanguard class, from United Workers' Syndicates of Talos II, wielding a Sword, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Alesh scale on?

Alesh's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Alesh?

Thermite Cutter is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Sword with 490 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Wave Tide is the best 4-star alternative.

Which gear set should Alesh use?

Frontiers. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.

How much does it cost to max Alesh's skills?

Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× False Aggela among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

Thermite Cutter's main stat does nothing for Alesh, but recovering SP easily triggers its passives for a team-wide ATK% buff, making it a solid generic support pick.

Fortmaker works as an alternative support weapon for its first two passive stats, Intellect and a large Ultimate Gain Efficiency boost, for more Ultimates and better fishing odds.

Ranked #3 at P5

Alesh's signature has ideal passive stats, but most teams prefer the main DPS applying Cryo Infliction instead of using his Battle Skill for it, and it lacks Intellect for a lower fishing chance.

Frontiers lacks perfect stats for Alesh, but its three-piece bonus grants an easy-to-maintain squad DMG% boost, and the pieces still carry heavy Intellect for his scaling talent.

3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.

No Set: Alesh can skip a set entirely and build full Ultimate Gain Efficiency instead, keeping high Intellect from the pieces to boost his Combat Talent.
