Aleph

Short answer: Aleph is a 6-Star, Intellect-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a Support, Inspiration, Burst DMG unit. Like every Arcanist, Aleph hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Aleph where the Intellect advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Aleph uses the Intellect Afflatus. That means Aleph has the advantage against Star units and is at a disadvantage into Spirit units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Aleph deals Mental damage and is built for Support, Inspiration, Burst DMG duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Aleph with teammates that cover the roles Aleph does not.

Building Aleph

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Aleph with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Aleph is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
