Quick summary
Alessio is a mid-tier Farm Marksman who wants to output sustained ranged damage. Public guides recommend a build starting with Boots of Dexterity and Flash.
Current patch decision guide
When to pick Alessio, when to avoid them, and how to adapt your build.
Alessio is a balanced Farm Marksman who wants to wear down enemies from range before the team-fight engages. Public guide data shows a build centered on Boots of Dexterity, Shadow Ripper, Eternity Blade, paired with Flash, used to farm the safe side, scale into late game, and protect priority targets. Pick him when the draft lets Alessio reach the back-line scaling window without being caught out; avoid when the matchup denies the windows his kit needs.
Pick Alessio when
- Your team wants to siege objectives where ranged poke whittles down defenders
- Your team needs a primary damage carry that scales with items and team-fight positioning
- The enemy draft includes Han Xin, Mai Shiranui, and Sima Yi, who appear in counter data as matchups Alessio can pressure.
Avoid Alessio when
- The team fight will happen in cramped jungle spaces where poke ranges are minimized
- The enemy stacks dive and assassins, making it impossible for the marksman to free-cast in fights
- The enemy team is built around answers to Ranged Harass, removing the windows Alessio's kit needs to perform.
Power spikes
Early game: farm safely behind the support, surviving lane phase to reach the marksman scaling window.
Mana sustain online: poke patterns become repeatable once cooldown reduction and mana regen items come online
Late game: with full damage online, sustained DPS outpaces enemy healing in extended fights.
Build decisions
Default farm path
Public build references for Alessio recommend Boots of Dexterity, Shadow Ripper, Eternity Blade, Doomsday, Daybreaker's Virtue, and Overlord's Might, with Unparalleled, Calamity, and Hunt arcana. Run Flash as the battle spell. Use this as the baseline marksman plan before adapting to the enemy draft.
Situational item pivots
Spare options listed in build data include Sunchaser, Sage's Sanctuary, Destiny, Haste - Sunpool, Cuirass of Savagery, and Bloodweeper. Treat these as situational swaps when the default path is not enough — for example, swapping in defensive items against burst comps or penetration items against stacked armor.
Matchup logic
Versus hard engage
Alessio loses value when forced into close-range fights. Stick with the front line, hold a flash or repositioning skill, and avoid being caught alone in the river.
Role positioning
Alessio is a Farm pick whose value depends on sustained ranged damage in extended team fights. Stick to the role plan rather than forcing fights his kit is not designed to win.
Synergies
Public synergy data lists Ata, Dharma, and Zhuangzi as strong partners for Alessio. Plan engages around Ata's setup window, then second-engage with Sunset Fireworks Show.
Common mistakes
- Spending mana on poke that does not threaten kills, leaving you empty for the actual fight.
- Auto-attacking instead of repositioning when the enemy assassin is missing — losing the marksman loses the fight.
- Engaging without checking enemy summoner-spell cooldowns, which often decide whether Alessio's commit reaches the target alive.
- Auto-attacking through enemy dive instead of repositioning — losing the marksman in early fights collapses the late-game win condition.
Background
Red Hawk
“I shall carry on the legend with my heroic deeds!”
Alessio was originally a small fry in the Outer City of Navenia. However, when fate called, he accepted a request from the legendary Captain Red Hawk to put on his mask and become a "copycat" of the great hero of the people. Later, when the people learned that he was just masquerading as the original Captain Red Hawk, he was forced to figure out who he really wanted to be... Now, with his mask off, he still gallivants about with his cannon, protecting the peace of the Outer City with his customized cannon shells. If you run into any problems, he will be sure to stand up for you, even if it's against the city's ruler...
