Alexios
Who is Alexios?
Alexios is a 5-star Beast-afflatus DPS from the Assassin's Creed crossover collaboration, available for free during the event. He is a high-frequency Ultimate spammer who builds [Adrenaline] through incantations and ally actions, then fires off his Ultimate — which carries the [Assassination] property and deals Reality DMG to all enemies — as often as possible. His kit is deeply intertwined with the other Assassin's Creed collaboration characters Ezio Auditore and Kassandra, requiring at least one of them for full effectiveness. Among the pair, Kassandra is the stronger partner due to tighter kit integration and greater Adrenaline generation.
Kit Summary
Gained from incantations, Insight passives, and [Assassination] procs from any collab character. High stacks let Alexios cast his Ultimate immediately after a trigger.
Deals Reality DMG to all enemies and itself counts as an [Assassination], potentially chaining further Ultimate procs in collab compositions.
Reduces Ultimate cooldown and boosts Ultimate Might as Adrenaline stacks climb — rewards dense multi-collab line-ups.
Kassandra is the higher-priority collab partner; her kit generates more [Assassination] events per round, enabling Alexios to fire his Ultimate multiple times in a single turn.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: Prioritise Ultimate Might and DMG Bonus to maximise his frequent Ultimate casts. Critical Rate and Critical DMG are secondary since his ultimate hits multiple targets at moderate multipliers rather than single-target crits.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Brave New World (BiS, prydwen): 18% Ultimate Might plus 20–40% stacking Incantation Might on the next incantation; Alexios's constant Ultimate cycling keeps the stacking buff refreshed continuously. His Own Muse (alternative): 18% Incantation Might and a flat DMG Bonus on Ultimate cast — simpler buff profile that still aligns well with his Ultimate-first playstyle.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Collab core: Alexios + Kassandra + Ezio Auditore + sustain — Kassandra's [Assassination] procs chain into Alexios's Ultimate; Ezio provides mass damage and collab synergy buffs.
Reduced collab: Alexios + Kassandra + generalist buffer (Sonetto/Lorelei) + healer — viable if Ezio is unavailable, losing some chain frequency.
F2P Verdict
Alexios is a free collaboration character, not available on permanent gacha. Brave New World is his best psychube. His Portrays are limited to event rewards — no standard banner access. Free players who collected the full collab trio get a complete functional team at no pull cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Ezio and Kassandra to use Alexios?
You need at least one of them. Kassandra is the higher priority — her kit is more tightly integrated with Alexios and generates more [Assassination] events per round, enabling more frequent Ultimate casts. Ezio adds additional collab damage but is less critical to the chain.
What is Alexios's best psychube?
Brave New World is BiS: 18% Ultimate Might pairs perfectly with his frequent Ultimates, and the stacking 20–40% Incantation Might on the next incantation stays consistently active because he casts his Ultimate so often.
Is Alexios useful outside the collab team?
No — his kit is built around [Assassination] procs from collab partners. Without them his Adrenaline generation slows to a crawl and his Ultimate frequency drops dramatically, leaving him unable to compete with dedicated DPS characters.
