Genshin Impact Alyosha Build Guide

Core goal: Build the free 4-star Electro Polearm Alyosha as a reliable off-field support, healer, and ATK buffer who enables Stellar-Conduct teams. The priority is keeping his Burst (Tugarin + taunt field) up every rotation for Electro application, healing that scales off his ATK, and Hunter's Mark procs that grant team ATK + Stellar-Conduct DMG Bonus while inside a Polestar Field. His kit also scales personal Skill and Burst damage with ER, so Energy Recharge is non-negotiable.

1Step-by-Step Build Priority

Make or break

Lock in Energy Recharge First (~200% ER)

Target approximately 200% ER. Even if you can Burst with less in some teams, you still want 200% because his 4th Ascension Passive increases Skill and Burst DMG based on ER (up to a sizable bonus). Lower ER means weaker personal contribution from Tugarin and the field, plus risk of missing rotations.

Use ER sands if needed. Prefer weapons that give ER% over pure particle generation when possible.

C1 (energy refund on team Electro reactions, once per 18s) helps lower the requirement later, but build for C0 first since he is free.

Why: Without Burst uptime, there is no Tugarin, no consistent heals, no Electro application, and no Hunter's Mark buffs. ER is the foundation everything else stands on.

After ER is comfortable

Stack ATK% for Healing and Buffs

Healing from Tugarin scales with Alyosha's ATK (120% of his ATK per attack). The Hunter's Precision ATK buff also benefits the team, and higher ATK helps his own numbers. Aim for as much ATK and ATK% as possible once ER is hit.

Crit is tertiary, useful mainly if running Favonius for particles.

Why: Weak ATK means weak heals and smaller team buffs. ER alone keeps the Burst up but does not make the support impactful.

Artifact selection

Choose Artifacts Based on Team Role

4pc Noblesse Oblige is the default strong option. Easy Burst activation for the team ATK buff, fits his every-rotation Q playstyle.

New 7.0 Stellar support set (Heart of the Furnace): Use this mainly if Alyosha himself is triggering the relevant reactions. Otherwise skip for pure support.

Emblem of Severed Fate: If you want more personal Burst and Tugarin damage.

2pc/2pc ATK% + ER mixes or Songs of Days Past: Alternative support options if personal damage is low and you already have good pieces.

Why: Stick to simple support options for the free unit. Only swap to the new Stellar set if he is the reaction trigger, otherwise it goes to waste.

Weapon selection

Pick ER-Focused Weapons

Prefer weapons that help ER or give useful team utility. Goal is consistent Burst uptime plus ATK for heals and buffs.

Why: Pure DPS weapons do not solve the Burst uptime problem. ER weapons keep the rotation flowing and still provide ATK through substats or passives.

Talent priority

Skill > Burst >> Normal Attack

The ATK buff from activating Hunter's Mark scales with Skill level (higher Skill = bigger team ATK buff). Burst is still critical for Tugarin uptime, field, healing, and application. Leave NA low unless experimenting with on-field.

Some players plan to crown Skill and Burst.

Why: Skill level directly increases the team ATK buff value. Burst level improves healing and field uptime. NA is irrelevant for a support build.

2Stat Priority and Main Stats

Slot	Main Stat	Notes
Sands	ER% or ATK%	ER% if below 200% target, ATK% if already comfortable
Goblet	ATK%	Community prefers this over Electro DMG% for support builds. Electro goblet only if forcing on-field DPS.
Circlet	ATK% or Crit Rate	Crit Rate only if using Favonius Lance for particle generation
Substats	ER > ATK% > Crit	Priority: ER (to requirement) first, then ATK%, then Crit Rate/DMG

3Weapon Ranking

Engulfing Lightning - ER substat plus ATK conversion. Best-in-slot for consistent Burst uptime and ATK scaling.

Favonius Lance - Particle generation plus Crit Rate help. Solid F2P-friendly option that eases ER requirements.

The Catch - Free craftable with ER and Burst DMG bonus. Good all-around support polearm.

Tamayuratei no Ohanashi or new 7.0 craftable/BP polearms that lean ER. Viable alternatives if you lack the above.

Weapon tip: Avoid pure DPS weapons unless playing him on-field. The goal is consistent Burst uptime plus ATK for heals and buffs, not personal damage output.

4Rotation and Playstyle

Alyosha's rotation is straightforward in a support role. The key is to apply Hunter's Mark with hold-E, then drop Burst for Tugarin uptime, then swap to your main DPS.

Optional: Cryo application or NA4 -> Hold Elemental Skill (aim to mark multiple enemies) -> Elemental Burst (summon Tugarin + field) -> Switch to main DPS

Field synergy: Stay inside a Polestar Field (from teammates like Odette or equivalents) so the Mark activation also gives the Stellar-Conduct DMG Bonus. Tugarin continues applying and refreshing marks off-field while healing the active character.

On-field DPS variant: NA4 -> hold E -> Q -> NA4D loops with Cryo infusion support. Keep the mark loop active. Only use this if you have proper Cryo infusion support on the team.

5Key Decision Points

Pure support vs personal damage

Go Noblesse + high ER/ATK for maximum team value (most common recommendation for the free unit). Switch to Emblem or the new Stellar set only if calcs or testing show his Tugarin contribution is worth it in your specific team.

With or without Odette/Sandrone

Best teams center on Stellar-Conduct (Sandrone + Alyosha + Yae/Odette/Cryo options). Without Odette, players are testing Cryo Traveler, Qiqi, Diona, Chongyun, or other Cryo for resonance and field enablement. Double Electro (e.g., with Fischl/Yae) helps energy.

Constellations

C0 is fully usable (free). C1 eases ER by providing energy refund on team Electro reactions once per 18s. C2 extends Burst duration and improves mark application via Tugarin. Nice upgrades but not required to start.

Electro DMG goblet vs ATK% goblet

ATK% goblet is the community preference for support builds because it boosts both healing and team buffs. Electro DMG goblet only makes sense if you are forcing an on-field DPS build with proper Cryo infusion support.

6Common Mistakes to Avoid

Underbuilding ER. Missing Burst means no Tugarin, no consistent heals, no application, and no marks. This is the single most common build failure.

Ignoring ATK after ER. Weak heals and smaller buffs. ER keeps the Burst up, but ATK makes the support actually impactful.

Using Electro DMG goblet on a pure support build. It does not boost healing or team buffs. Stick to ATK% goblet unless you are running an on-field DPS variant.

Putting him on the new Stellar set when he is not triggering reactions. The set bonus goes to waste if Alyosha is not the reaction trigger. Use Noblesse instead for reliable team value.

Neglecting hold-E aiming for multi-mark application in AoE. Tap-E only marks one target. Hold-E lets you aim and mark multiple enemies, which is critical for AoE content.

Forcing on-field DPS without proper Cryo infusion support. The on-field variant requires Cryo infusion to function. Without it, you lose the support value and gain nothing in return.
