Alyosha is shaping up to be the first 4-star face of Genshin Impact’s Snezhnaya arc, an Electro polearm user who marks enemies, summons a hunting hound, and slots neatly into Stellar-Conduct teams. Like most 4-stars, his real ceiling lives in his constellations, since copies are easy to collect once he’s in the standard pool. Here’s how his four leaked constellations rank for the role he’s built to play.
Note: Alyosha’s kit and constellations come from early leaks tied to the Version 7.0 beta. Values and effects can shift before launch, so treat everything below as a working snapshot from June 2026 rather than final numbers.
Alyosha constellation tier list
| Tier | Constellation |
|---|---|
| S | C6 – stacking Hunter’s Precision with bonus Elemental Mastery |
| A | C2 – longer Tugarin uptime and extra Hunting Mark application |
| B | C1 – energy refund on Electro reactions |
| C | C4 – low-HP party healing from Tugarin |
How this was ranked: each constellation is judged purely on how much it improves Alyosha’s job as an Electro Stellar-Conduct support, weighing team-wide buffs, energy generation, and the uptime of his mark-and-hound loop over raw personal damage. This reflects the leaked Version 7.0 build.
Why each Alyosha constellation lands where it does
C6 takes the top spot because it turns his support buff into something teammates actually feel. Hunter’s Precision can stack twice, and hitting two stacks hands everyone affected an extra 100 Elemental Mastery. For a buffer whose whole point is feeding party damage, that’s the most impactful payoff in his cone.
C2 sits just below it. Stretching Hunter’s Stand by six seconds keeps Tugarin on the field longer, and the auto-applied Hunting Mark before each of the hound’s attacks smooths out the rotation that the rest of his kit depends on. It’s the cleanest fix to his biggest friction point, even if it doesn’t add a flashy buff.
C1 is a reliable but unexciting energy refund. Returning 15 Elemental Energy when nearby members trigger an Electro reaction, on an 18-second timer, helps him fire his Burst more often, but it asks for an Electro-active team and only triggers so often.
C4 rounds out the bottom. Healing the lowest-HP party member for 60% of Alyosha’s ATK whenever Tugarin attacks is fine, but it largely doubles up on the sustain his Ascension passive already provides, making it the least decisive pickup.
Alyosha constellation effects in full
| Const. | Effect |
|---|---|
| C1 | When nearby party members trigger an Electro-related reaction on an enemy, Alyosha restores 15 Elemental Energy. Occurs once every 18s. |
| C2 | Extends Hunter’s Stand by 6s. Before each of Tugarin’s attacks, it applies Hunting Mark to one target. This application cannot activate an existing Hunting Mark. |
| C4 | Whenever Tugarin attacks, it restores HP to the nearby party member with the lowest HP percentage, equal to 60% of Alyosha’s ATK. |
| C6 | Hunter’s Precision from activating Hunting Mark can stack up to 2 times. At 2 stacks, affected characters gain an additional 100 Elemental Mastery. |
There are no listed C3 or C5 effects in the leaked data beyond the usual talent-level increases that every character receives at those nodes, so the four above are the constellations that change how he plays.
Alyosha kit overview
The constellations make more sense once you see the engine they’re upgrading. Alyosha leans on a Hunting Mark mechanic, a summoned hound called Tugarin, and a party-wide ATK buff that ties everything together.
| Talent | What it does |
|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Up to 4 spear strikes, with the final hit applying Hunting Mark. Charged Attack is a stamina-consuming spinning attack; Plunging Attack deals AoE damage on landing. |
| Elemental Skill | Tap fires forward for AoE Electro DMG; Hold enters Aiming Mode with increased interruption resistance, then hits all locked targets. Both modes apply Hunting Mark. Marking an already-marked enemy activates the mark, granting nearby allies Hunter’s Precision (ATK up) for 15s. |
| Elemental Burst | Summons Tugarin and creates the Thunder Hunting Ground, which taunts enemies and deals AoE Electro DMG every 2s. Tugarin bites a nearby enemy every 2s for Electro DMG counted as Burst damage, prioritizing marked targets. |
| Passives | Tugarin heals the active ally for 120% of Alyosha’s ATK on attack; Skill and Burst DMG scale with Energy Recharge (up to +70%); inside a Polestar Field he enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, with Hunter’s Precision adding +25% Stellar-Conduct DMG to nearby allies. |
That Stellar-Conduct passive is the reason he’s being eyed as a partner for Sandrone and other Stellar-Conduct units. He also pings nearby Snezhnaya local specialties on the mini-map, which is handy once the new region opens up.

One naming note worth clearing up: this Alyosha is written 阿罗夏 in Chinese and is a separate person from the Lightkeeper Alyosha Dmitriyevich (阿廖沙) referenced on the Piramida Bulletin Board. Same English spelling, different character.
Alyosha release date
No official release date is confirmed yet. Alyosha’s name was first revealed in the Transcendence Trailer, “Sudden Snow,” after his earlier unnamed appearance in the Snezhnaya Preview Teaser, “Frozen Tundra Shrouded in Wind and Snow.”
The expectation is that he arrives during the Version 7.X cycle as the first 4-star of the Snezhnaya chapter, which would make him obtainable for free once that update lands. Following Genshin Impact’s standard 42-day patch cadence, the projected window points to roughly mid-August 2026, around August 12, but that figure is a community estimate rather than a HoYoverse announcement. Stats and final kit details should firm up once the Version 7.0 beta opens.
If the rankings above hold through beta, the takeaway is simple. C6 is the constellation worth chasing for anyone planning to build him as a Stellar-Conduct enabler, C2 is the quality-of-life pickup that makes his rotation feel right, and C1 and C4 are nice extras rather than reasons to hunt copies.
