How It Works
- Teammate applies Cryo Infliction to enemy
- Alesh Battle Skill consumes Cryo Infliction → Forces Solidification
- Solidification triggers Estella's Combo → Consumes Solidification
- Estella triggers Alesh's Combo → SP generation + chance for "rare fin"
- Rare fin → Bonus effects (P3 = ATK buff)
- Ultimate → Applies Cryo Infliction + SP recovery

| Passive |
Team ATK buff |
| Why Best |
ATK% scarce, buffs entire team |
Note: This works because Alesh is a Vanguard who generates SP on every skill. The team ATK buff from Thermite is invaluable.
Tier 2: Fortmaker (5★ Alternative)

Tier 3: Finchaser 3.0 (Signature - Not Recommended)
| Attribute |

| Main Stat |
Cryo DMG% |
| Passive |
Cryo DMG Taken% on Solidification |
| Problem |
Requires Alesh to trigger Solidification with Battle Skill |
Why Not Recommended: In optimal teams (Yvonne, Last Rite), you don't want Alesh triggering Solidification—they do. This weapon conflicts with team rotations. Stick with Thermite.
