AlexiosBuild and Guide

Alexios is a free character in the Assassin’s Creed Collab. His kit is heavily tied to the other Assassin's Creed characters, meaning you will likely need at least one of them for him to function at his full potential. If you have them, that’s great, but many people will not, which could limit his effectiveness. That said, he can still generate a decent amount of Adrenaline on his own to use his ultimate. However, without allies who can trigger [Assassination], or anyone with the [Assassination] role on the team, he will not be able to gain Adrenaline nearly as quickly.

But let’s assume you have either Ezio, Kassandra, or maybe both. How does he work? He is actually quite a simple character to use overall. It is worth noting that, like the other Assassin's Creed characters, he does not use Moxie. Instead, he uses something called Adrenaline, which he gains at the start of every round due to his passive or when another ally (which can only be one of the other two AC characters) triggers [Assassination]. Another effect of his passive is that if he is on a team with another [Assassination] character, any triggered [Assassination] gives him a chance to cast his Ultimate, “Sun of Fear,” immediately, 5% chance, but 10% if you have Kassandra specifically in your team.

His skills are also pretty simple. You have “Stronger than Ares,” which is a single attack that grants Adrenaline (+1, +2, +4) to help build up your move. Then his other skill, “Better Than Apollo,” is a mass attack targeting two enemies, and it grants Adrenaline (+1, +2, +4) if you land a critical hit.

His ultimate is Sun of Fear, which is a mass attack and allows him to gain [Blood of Isu], which functions similar to [Assasnination] by dealing additional DMG that can stack up to 5 times.

[Assassination] is essentially a new mechanic that increases final damage based on Crit. For example, Ezio uses it to gain buffs that boost the entire team’s damage output. It’s also somewhat similar to how Eureka works, since it is triggered by other characters and grants effects depending on their kit.

We don’t yet know if this archetype will appear outside of the Assassin's Creed characters. And while he is thankfully free, if you do not have Ezio or Kassandra, it really feels like you are missing part of his kit. In that case, he essentially becomes a character who is just meant to spam his ultimate. But since he doesn’t use Moxie, no one else can support him in doing that. That said, he does build Adrenaline passively and through his own skills, so he will still get there eventually. With full support from his [Assassination] allies, though, he can ult more frequently, deal much higher damage with it, and sometimes even trigger it for free.
