As in Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy is second to none with her bow. She has incredible marksmanship and the grace of a cat, making her excellent at long range combat. But besides this, she has other skills, such as the ability to create traps and use cloaking techniques, which make her a dangerous opponent for even the most cunning enemies.

If you love a beautiful and effective fighting style, then Aloy is your choice. In Genshin Impact, she has several unique skills that can be used in combination with various builds and weapons. She can become invincible in battle if you choose the right artifacts and skills.

It is also worth noting that playing as Ala, you can enjoy the incredibly beautiful world of Genshin Impact, in which new adventures and challenges await you. And who knows, maybe you will find answers to the questions that have worried Aloy for so long – who were her parents and what is her real fate.

Advantages and disadvantages of Eloy

Aloy’s main talents

Aloy is a talented hunter with unrivaled instinct, able to hunt with feline grace and deadly accuracy. Her main talents are rapid fire, which fires up to four bow shots, and charged attack, which fires a more accurate, targeted volley with increased damage. While aiming, the arrowhead is charged with cold, and a fully charged arrow will deal cryo damage.

Aloy’s elemental skill is Ice Waste, in which she throws a Freeze Bomb that explodes on impact and deals cryo damage. After the explosion, the projectile splits into many ice bombs that explode on contact with the enemy and deal cryo damage. When Freeze Bomb or Frost Bomb hits an enemy, their attack power is reduced and Aloy gains one spiral level. Each level of the spiral increases the damage of Aloy’s normal attack. When Aloy reaches 4 spiral levels, all of them are reset, and the heroine enters the Rushing Ice state, which increases the damage of her normal attack and converts to cryo damage.

Another talent of Aloy is the explosion of the elements – Prophecy of the Dawn. She throws a Cryo-infused Fuel Cell at the target, then detonates it with an arrow, dealing cryo damage in an area. It is worth noting that each of Aloy’s talents is associated with a cryo element and deals cryo damage.

So, using these talents in combination with the right weapons and artifacts, Aloy can become a powerful hero in Genshin Impact. But remember that leveling a hero is a long and laborious process that will require patience and perseverance from you.

Aloy’s Passive Skills

Aloy is the hero of the game, with many skills that will help you win the battle. Our heroes face enemies along the way, and Aloy has the skills to help her defeat them.

If you use the Frozen Waste skill, Aloy will receive a 16% increase in attack power, and your party members will receive an 8% bonus to attack power.

In addition, Aloy has Strong Attack, which allows her to increase her cryo damage bonus by 3.5% every second while she is in the Rushing Ice state. This skill can give you up to 35% extra cryo damage.

Another interesting Aloy skill is Wasteland Hunter, which allows her not to frighten small animals from which you can get poultry, raw and whole-frozen meat. This can be helpful when searching for resources.

So using Aloy’s skills can be the key to your victory in battle, and her passive skills can increase your Squad’s attack power and make it easier to find resources.

Weapon Secrets for Aloy

Want to improve your Aloy’s combat abilities? Then let’s talk about the best weapons that will suit her the best!

Thunder Pulse is a weapon that increases attack power by 20%-40% and grants the hero the Thunder Emblem effect. This weapon can increase normal attack damage by 12%-24% at emblem level 1, by 24%-48% at emblem level 2, and by 40%-80% at emblem level 3. Very useful, isn’t it?

Skywing is a weapon that increases critical damage by 20-40%. But that is not all! With a 60-100% chance, when hitting an enemy, the hero will deal 125% physical AoE damage. This will allow Aloy to easily eliminate multiple enemies at the same time.

The Stringless is a weapon that increases the damage of elemental abilities and elemental explosion by 24-48%. This weapon will allow your Aloy to become a real threat to any enemies using elemental attacks.

Prototype: Crescent – A weapon that increases movement speed by 10% and attack power by 36%-72% when dealing damage with an aimed shot at an enemy’s weak points. This weapon will turn your Aloy into a real shooter!

Hamayumi is a weapon that increases normal attack damage by 16%-32% and charged damage by 12%-24%. If your Aloy relies more on normal attacks, then Hamayumi is a great choice for her!

As you can see, the choice of weapons for Aloy is quite large. By using the above items, you will be able to improve her fighting skills and take down enemies with more ease!.

If you play Genshin Impact and are looking for the best artifacts and partners for Aloy, then you are in luck! There are several build options and combinations that can help you increase your team’s damage and effectiveness.

The first build option includes Wandering Ensemble and Blizzard Lost, which increase your run speed by 80 and your cryo damage bonus by 15%, respectively. This can be useful for running around the world and increasing Aloy’s damage.

The second build option includes Shimenawa’s Memories, which grants Aloy bonus damage over 10 seconds if she uses an elemental ability while having 15 energy or more. However, for each activation of this ability, 15 units of energy are taken away. This can be useful for strong opponents or bosses.

When it comes to artifact stats, it’s best to choose elemental mastery or attack power in % on the clock, cryo damage bonus on the goblet, and crit damage or crit chance on the hat.

In terms of teammates, Xiao and Xin Yan are great complements to Aloy, while Dione, Qi Qi, and Sayu are good healer choices. Xiao can become the main damage dealer, and Aloy can replace him during the cooldown of the elemental explosion. Xin Yan can close the Melt reaction and provide the unit with a shield. Dione or Qi Qi can close Cryo Resonance and give a high Crit Chance, and Sayu can provide Anemo Resonance.

Another combination could include Dilyuk, Xing Qiu, and Bennett. Bennet will not only heal all the heroes, but also give an attack boost, and the combination of Dilyuk and Aloy with Xing Qiu can give the maximum crowns thanks to the first order reactions.
