Genshin Impact Aloy Build - Genshin.gg (2024)

FAQs

Is Aloy worth using? ›

Aloy is a lot better than I expected. I had my expectations really low for a "free 5*" but she actually feels really good to play and has some interesting interactions and combos both for combat and overworld exploration.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to obtain Aloy in Genshin Impact in 2024. The Aloy crossover event lasted for just one year and is no longer available. Unless miHoYo decides to re-run this crossover at some point in the future.

Best Artifacts for Aloy

If you're planning on a burst DPS Aloy, it's going to be 2 piece Blizzard Strayer and 2 piece Noblesse Oblige. For main stats of the artifact, you can never go wrong with ATK Sands, Cryo DMG% Goblet, and Crit Rate/Crit Damage Circlet depending on your crit rate.

Genshin Impact's Aloy, the cryo bow wielder, hails all the way from Horizon Zero Dawn and is now one of the absolute rarest five-star characters.

1) Aloy doesn't fit well in the Genshin Impact storyline

On the flip side, Aloy belongs to an alternative universe from Horizon Zero Dawn. She has no connection to Teyvat and its characters. Naturally, players aren't able to build a connection with someone without knowing their background and personality.

For that reason, many fans have assumed Aloy to be queer as well. Burning Shores, the new DLC for Forbidden West, confirms Aloy's sexuality with the introduction of a romance between the heroine and her female companion Seyka, who's new to this new chapter. The full scene can be viewed in the video below.

Outcast children are rare but special cases, as with Aloy, whom was motherless and therefore cast out from birth.

I had no idea Aloy was a 5-star being a cross-collab from Horizon! Now I know why her background colour is red instead of the standard orange for a 5-star.

but can be used across all consoles when unlocked. In September 2021, Aloy was given out as a free collaboration character for PS4 and PS5 players of the game Genshin Impact, while players on other platforms received her for free in limited time on October 2021.

Although the timeline isn't perfect, it's safe to assume that the campaign of Horizon Zero Dawn takes anywhere from a few months to a year in-universe. This would put Aloy at somewhere between 18 and 19 years old by the final battle at Meridian at the end of the game.

Does Aloy get a better spear? ›

Completing the quest In Her Mother's Footsteps will reward Aloy with a boost to the spear's damage, turning it into a “Rare” weapon. In addition, when Aloy rescues Arana, her father; Thok, will upgrade Aloy's spear when she comments on his late wife's crafting performance on Arana's spear.

3 The Stringless

With no prerequisites to activate its effects, The Stringless is an ideal option for players who want to use Aloy for elemental reactions. Even at refinement level 1, this weapon offers a significant damage boost, making it the best 4-star weapon option for Aloy.

The expansion introduces players to many new characters, and most of them are from the Quen tribe, which has occupied various parts of the map in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. One of these characters happens to be Aloy's romance option in Horizon: Burning Shores.

With her incredible strength, unparalleled intellect, legendary bravery, and scientific mind, it's clear that Aloy earns her place as a true icon of the PlayStation world. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to play more Horizon Forbidden West.

Choosing this option will see Aloy admit her romantic feelings towards Seyka, and the pair share a kiss. Aloy will then explain she has a long road ahead of her, and Seyka agrees, admitting she has her own responsibilities to take care of, but says it's "enough to know how you feel".

Who are the Rarest Characters in Genshin Impact. All the Limited Event Characters are in this category. Since they are available only for short periods, they are rare because you can't get them anytime. Among all the characters included, one stands out: Aloy.
