Skill

Unconventional Lure

  • 100 SP

Hooks a block of ice and slams it to deal Physical DMG to the enemy target. When hitting a target with Cryo Infliction, Alesh consumes all of the target's Cryo Infliction stacks, forcibly applies Solidification to the target, and recovers some SP based on the number of stacks consumed. The SP recovery effect can only trigger 1 time, even if the skill hits multiple enemies.

Alesh Auger Angling, Combo Skill icon | Arknights: Endfield
Combo

Auger Angling

  • The Additional SP Recovery from catching a Rare Fin is not considered to be sourced from a Skill, and therefore does not trigger effects like Thermite Cutter's Thermal Release and does not benefit from the stage mechanics in Protocol Space: Promotions.
  • 9s cooldown

Opens an angling hole beneath the enemy that deals Physical DMG and recovers some SP. The skill has a chance to hook a Rare Fin that greatly increases the DMG dealt and recovers some more SP. Trigger: When the Arts Reaction or Originium Crystals of a nearby target is consumed.
