AlephBuild and Guide

Aleph is a 6-star support character designed specifically for use in Inspiration teams. As a new 6-star unit, you might expect complex mechanics, but he’s actually quite easy to understand and integrate into your Inspiration or [Impromptu Incantation] team, as long as you're familiar with the basics of the archetype.

His Insight I increases his Eureka at the start of every round. Additionally, when an ally with [Clarification] uses an incantation, he buffs this round’s [Impromptu Incantation] by increasing the number of times it attacks and granting it the ability to inflict [Interpretation] on the enemy. This status reduces the enemy’s damage taken, and for each additional stack, it reduces Mental DEF and damage taken by an extra 2%. This is extremely valuable because the [Impromptu Incantation] mechanic functions as a burst. You use cards with [Inspiration] to trigger it and deal damage to random single targets, so Aleph directly enhances that damage potential.

With Insight III, he also gains a chance to recover Eureka after using it.

The [Clarification] status is applied through his skill “Idealist’s Declaration”, which is a buff that grants stacks of [Clarification] to all allies. It also consumes Eureka to add more stacks. The skill is simple: it increases your incantation damage and activates the passive mentioned earlier.

His first skill, “Disciplinary Power”, is one of the best parts of his kit. It's a single-target attack that lets Aleph enter [Continuous Action I] and consumes Eureka to boost [Impromptu]'s damage. His entire kit revolves around increasing your damage, especially that of [Impromptu Incantation]. The extra AP gain is tied to his passive, since allies with [Clarification] apply a debuff. This means more opportunities to build Inspiration and apply damage-enhancing effects, making it perfect for these team types.

His ultimate, “Reflections of Omniscience”, is a self-channel ability that allows Aleph to [Memorize] the first two basic incantations cast in the current round and enter [Hyperthymesia] for one round. This is perhaps the only slightly complex part of his kit. In simple terms, he remembers the first two basic incantations cast and reuses them on the following turn. This also increases the number of [Impromptu Incantation] attacks by 2 and applies [Interpretation] to each, except for the final attack, which consumes all stacks of [Interpretation] to deal bonus damage based on the number of stacks.

Aleph, as you can tell, is a pure Inspiration unit whose entire purpose is to empower your [Impromptu Incantation]. Whether it's through debuffs, increasing the number of attacks, providing team-wide buffs, or enabling burst potential with his ultimate, this is where he excels. However, since he is highly specialized, you should already have other Inspiration characters to get the most out of his kit. That said, his AP skill can still be useful in certain non-Inspiration teams.
