In New Dawn canon, Aloy is a genetic clone created by Elisabeth Sobek. In the world of Teyvat, she will become a Cryo Archer. The unique opportunity to get a playable alien character is a good reason to start playing Genshin Impact. However, current players will certainly find how to effectively use this hero in their squads. The following is a detailed guide with builds for Aloy in Genshin Impact (leveling, weapons, artifacts and squad ).
When released
The character's first appearance is scheduled for 1 September 2021 yearswhen Genshin Impact Update 2.1 is released. However, in this patch, the character will be exclusive to PS 4/5 players. s of other platforms will have to wait until the next update.
How to get Aloy in Genshin Impact
On all platforms, the character will be credited through in-game mail. Travelers who, at the time of completion of technical work, will be able to receive it 20 Adventure rank. The current deadlines for obtaining Aloy are as follows:
- PS 4/5 Update 2.1: September 1 - October 13, 2021;
- for PC, Android, iOS: October 14 - November 24, 2021 (console players will still have the opportunity to get the hero).
Abilities
You should be aware of the talents of a free hero in order to effectively integrate him into your squads. This is especially true for beginners, for whom an archer from another game universe can become a worthy member of the team.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Rapid Fire (Normal/Charged/Drop Attack)
With quick presses, you can carry out up to 4 simple shots.
Long press charges the arrow with Cryo energy, increasing damage dealt.
When attacked while falling, it drops to the ground with a hail of arrows, dealing AoE physical damage.
- Ice Waste (Elemental Skill)
The character throws an Ice Bomb at the enemy, which explodes and deals Cryo damage in an area, disintegrating into many Ice Bombs. Small charges also explode on impact with a target or after a short time.
When this skill hits an enemy, the target's damage is reduced and Aloy gains a Spiral charge (maximum of 1 per 0,1 seconds). The applied effect has the following properties:
- Increases the damage of the hero's normal attacks.
- Upon reaching four levels, the Spiral is reset, putting Aloy into the Swift Ice state. After that, all normal attacks deal increased Cryo damage.
- Dawn Prophecies (Elemental Burst)
A Fuel Cell is thrown at the target and Aloy detonates this charge with a well-aimed shot, dealing increased Cryo damage in an area.
ive skills
| Talent | When does it open | What gives |
|---|---|---|
| Wasteland hunter | Base | Approaching animals (including frozen boars) and birds does not scare them, which allows you to quickly farm raw, whole-frozen and poultry meat. |
| combat overcoming | 2nd Ascension Phase | When receiving the Spiral effect, Aloy's attack power is increased by 16%, and the rest of the party - by 8%. The effect lasts for 10 seconds. |
| Swipe | 4nd Ascension Phase | While in the Rushing Ice state, the character gains +3,5% Cryo Damage Bonus every second. In total, you can accumulate up to 35% bonus. |
Sozvezdie
At the moment, there is no mention of Aloy being caught in the banners. Accordingly, "Luck of Aloy" for pumping her constellations cannot be obtained. How exactly miHoYo will beat the lack of this gameplay feature, we do not know.
Advantages and disadvantages
Naturally, you need to start with the fact that this is an absolutely free character, which will be received by all players with Rank 20. The specified pumping threshold can be overcome in just a few days of the game, absolutely without straining.
In combat and while exploring Teyvat, the character has the following positive qualities:
- high Cryo damage boost with a fairly simple overclocking of the power of normal attacks;
- easy application of AoE Cryo damage;
- high duration of the effect imposed by the elemental skill (in a protracted battle it will not be difficult to attack Spirals);
- ive for fast farming meat of animals and birds.
However, no one was going to make an imba from a free character, because Cons of Eloy obvious:
- limited elemental damage (physical attacks have no practical value);
- little benefit when fighting monsters that are resistant to Cryo;
- long rollback of the E-shki necessary for the accumulation of stacks of the Spiral (20 seconds);
- lack of constellations (the maximum potential of the hero is limited by his weapons, artifacts and pumping level).
Next, all the nuances of pumping and equipment Aloy in Genshin Impact will be presented.
Leveling
In the development of an alien character, it is no different from the standard heroes for Genshin Impact. You will have to collect special components and materials in order to reach the maximum level and highest performance.
Elevation
You can pump the maximum level of the character using the following farm components and materials:
Also check out our farming and getting guides:
Calculate the amount of elevation materials will help Genshin Impact Calculator.
Talents
To upgrade talents, Aloy herself will need a long time known materialsAnd new component, dropped by monsters in the Inazuma Islands.
For each active talent, the player will need Liberty Talent Books, Ghost Cores, Signora material, and Crown of Insight (Wisdom) at level 10.
Best builds for Aloy
This hero will be a great secondary DPS for many units. Is not Ganyu, which many people dream of rerunning, but the character is quite suitable for those who do not have more effective options for their squads. To reveal the combat potential of Aloy, it is advisable to the following Main characteristics:
- Cryo damage bonus;
- Attack Power;
- Chance and Crit Strength;
- Elemental Mastery.
As additional stats will also be useful:
- HP;
- Protection.
Below are the best builds for weapons, artifacts and squad for Aloy.

Squad Composition
Based on the fact that Aloy will be a secondary DPS character who will have to go into battle quite often, appropriate companions are needed for her. As main damage dealer in such a squad you can take:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
Xiao |
Anemo |
A spear |
Provides increased AoE damage, but needs a changer while the elemental burst is on cooldown. It is at this moment that the Cryo Archer can build up charges of Spiral and discharge at enemies with powerful simple attacks. |
Eola |
Cryo |
Two-handed sword |
In addition to Cryo-resonance, it is valuable for huge physical damage. In fact, paired with the Cryo Archer, you can destroy targets regardless of their resistances. At the same time, it is better to take a Cryo with Ayaka, since the second DPS of the same element will take useful time from his main. |
Keqing |
electro |
Sword |
It's simple: AoE Electro damage combined with Cryo damage in an area. With a decrease in resistance, simple attacks that are not charged with the elements will also be more effective. Keqing will greatly increase the dynamics of the battle. |
Raizor |
electro |
Two-handed sword |
One of the best options: physical DD, which, in combination with a Cryo character, will reduce the physical resistance of enemies with the Superconductor reaction. |
Beidou |
electro |
Two-handed sword |
A situation similar to Razor, but with an all-consuming Electro-shield that will allow you to survive even the most powerful attacks of the enemy. |
Ningguang |
Geo |
Catalyst |
The screen will allow you to close from remote attacks of the enemy. Due to Crystallization, you can regularly receive an elemental shield. |
Diluc |
Pyro |
Two-handed sword |
Huge AoE Pyro damage combined with Cryo will give you good Melting damage. At the same time, the damage from the hand of Dilyuk is no worse than that of some physical damage dealers. |
Hu Tao |
Pyro |
A spear |
This character needs a good shield and heal, but if you have it in 3-4 slots, then temporarily replacing Pyro damage with Crio attacks is quite acceptable. |
Kli
Yanfei |
Pyro |
Catalyst |
The only downside to these heroes is their limited attack range. The cryo-archer will help you distance yourself from enemies for the duration of the rollback of skills and energy recovery. |
in position Sapp-DD can be used:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
Kazuha |
Anemo |
Sword |
Not only will it pull enemies down, but it will also increase the elemental damage against them, which will make the archer's simple attacks with Cryo-Infusion even more powerful. |
Venti |
Anemo |
Bow |
It is also needed to pull together disparate groups of enemies, so that later the main or secondary DPS character can be discharged into them. |
Baal |
electro |
A spear |
Electro Archon, which increases energy regeneration and reduces the cooldown of skills, will help almost any squad in battle. Here, paired with the Cryo Archer, she will increase the attacks of the last Electro element, while reducing the physical resistance of the enemy. |
Zhongli |
Geo |
A spear |
His native shield and Crystallization will protect the squad. At the same time, a large AoE damage and resistance reduction will significantly increase the overall DPS. |
Albedo |
Geo |
Sword |
Alternative for Zhongli. However, Albedo increases the dynamics of the battle more than it protects teammates from incoming damage. |
Mona |
Hydro |
Catalyst |
She has a good alternative sprint, an elemental skill phantom, as well as an elemental explosion that "turns off" the enemy and increases the damage ing through the target. And, of course, in combination with Cryo, it is easy to freeze the enemy. |
Xingqiu |
Hydro |
Sword |
Pure buff from Rain Swords: protection when summoning them with E-shka and additional Hydro-attacks from elemental explosions. A more efficient option in of freezing, because. Hydro-effect will complement Cryo-shots. |
Xinyan |
Pyro |
Two-handed sword |
Useful for her Pyro Shield, as well as AoE damage that temporarily incapacitates enemies. If 4 constellations are open, it can reduce the physical resistance of the target. |
Take the good one in the last slot hila:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
Jean |
|
Sword |
Has a powerful ult that restores health to all characters in the area of effect. |
Sayu |
|
Two-handed sword |
Her assistant Daruma heals characters who suffer from a lack of HP. This is a convenient scheme in which you do not need to purposefully switch to the hero for regeneration. Also with his E-shka, Sayu absorbs other elements, increasing elemental damage. |
Qi qi |
Cryo |
Sword |
An excellent heal that regenerates the health of an active character. At the same time, it will give resonance with the Cryo Archer, increasing the chance of crit. |
Dione |
Cryo |
Bow |
Healer and shield, and also grants Cryo Resonance. Despite the same element and weapon in of equipment, the two characters do not intersect. |
Bennett |
Pyro |
Sword |
A great alternative to any of the above heroes. In addition to restoring HP, Bennet gives the squad increased attack power, which is extremely necessary for an archer with a boost in simple shots. |
Squad examples
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Xiao |
Eloy |
Xinyan |
|
The cryo archer can replace Xiao at the time of his ult cooldown. At the same time, Xinyan will cover everyone with his shield, periodically discharging an explosion of elements. Hila is chosen based on the effect that we want to get. Anemo resonance will speed up the squad, reduce stamina consumption and skill cooldown time, and Cryo will give an increased chance of crit. |
|
Eola |
Eloy |
Fischl |
Bennett
Jean |
In this case, Fischl is added to Cryo-resonance, as both DPS characters need to be boosted at the same time. However, the roles of the archers are too close, because this is an experimental build. Bennets are equal in of healing, but the Pyro-hero takes precedence due to the increase in attack power. |
Ayaka |
Eloy |
Baal (Shogun Raiden) |
Sayu |
A high-quality squad with an increased crit chance, increased energy regeneration, reduced enemy resistances and cooldown time for team skills. At the same time, Sayu regenerates HP and increases the dynamics of the battle, increasing damage to the target when all characters have a sufficient level of health. |
|
Raizor |
Eloy |
Xingqiu |
Dione
Qi qi |
Resist reduction will give a basic combo of two DPS characters. Resonating with Cryo-heal will increase the chance of a critical hit, which will greatly increase Razor's physical damage. Xingqiu will add defenses to the game, as well as create useful reactions based on Hydro status. |
|
Keqing |
Eloy |
Mona |
Dione
Qi qi |
The increased AoE damage of such a unit will also include Super Conduit, Charged, Freeze, and Cryo Resonance reactions with increased crit chance. Mona and Keqing will increase the dynamics of the battle, as well as allow you to distance yourself from the enemy. |
|
Dee Luke |
Eloy |
Xingqiu |
Bennett |
Pyro Resonance and Bennett's attack power increase will give a great boost to both Dilyuk and the Cryo Archer. At the same time, Xingqiu will increase the damage dealt even more. |
|
Hu Tao |
Eloy |
Zhongli |
Bennett |
The main game is played on Hu Tao, who is protected by Zhongli's shield, as well as Bennet's heal. With Pyro Resonance, her damage will be even higher. Aloy only periodically enters the battle when the rest need to restore energy and wait for the rollback of skills. |
|
Kli
Yanfei |
Eloy |
Venti
Kazuha |
Bennett |
Anemo-character is needed to pull enemies into one point. There can be discharged Pyro with a catalyst. If all this goes under the buff of Bennett's ult, then the effect of the attacks will be deadly. Cryo-Archer is used when everyone has skills on cooldown, as well as when it is necessary to call reactions. |
There is also a variant of a free squad using heroes that can be obtained without donation currency (this is also Aloy).
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Keia
Xiangling |
Eloy |
Noelle
Electro (Traveler) |
Barbara |
Decide how to boost the damage of the characters. The main interest is 2 Crio, which increase the chance of crit. Traveler Electro on the Sapp-DD position is not much needed by them, because. The superconductor will lower physical resistance, not elemental resistance. At the same time, you can play through it if there is no shield from Noelle. Or take Xiangling for increased AoE Pyro damage and create Vapor/Melte reactions. |
How to play Ela
This character should always have the opportunity to "shoot". Only when successfully stacking Spiral charges will Aloy ramp up his own DPS. If the enemy is not resistant to Cryo damage, then with normal attacks of increased power, you can scatter a pack of enemies and go on a well-deserved cooldown. It is best to put it in units with a main DPS that needs periodic “rest” (skill cooldown outside of combat).
Сonclusion
Eloy in Genshin Impact - a nice gift for beginners and a "collectible figurine" for existing players who have more powerful characters. In any case, she should be taken to the archive of heroes, in order, perhaps, to be added to one of the experimental squads in the future. The main character of Horizon Zero Dawn is of real practical use only for players who are in dire need of replenishing the list of characters, or for those who want to quickly farm a lot of meat from animals and birds of Teyvat.
In section with best squad builds.
In the chapter "Aloy Q&A" it says she is a 4 star character, please correct
Please add: Now The Predator's ive effect only works on PS. If you have this bow but play from another device, the ive will not work!
This makes no sense
I got around to starting to level up Eloy, and here I am sitting thinking about what kind of squad to build for her... a reverse melt or something... it's a pity there is no nahida, but if she comes out in 5.1, it should be pretty good
It’s funny that you put Aloy in D or C?... Although in of dry numbers, Aloy is ahead of almost most 4* and even some 5* cryo Persians in of damage. If you give Aloy the Ceremonial Bow. In fact, we have an instant recharge of the ult, Ult-Eshka-Eshka-Ult-auto attack. She certainly cannot compare with Shen He or Ganyu, but she can beat Rosaria. For the party, there is a damage bonus and a reduction in incoming damage, and with the new life debt mechanics, it’s quite a good bonus.
And you think Aloy doesn't make it to B?
But it would be cool if Aloy was given to players who play Genshin with PS for a year 🤩 since I got to the main Amber, then I would pump up Aloy too, it would be interesting.
Damn, Baal is really in the game😨
I have a question how to get Aloy now
No way.
you can only buy an from bandits
Hello, I have a question: are artifacts such as “The Golden Troupe” and “Hunter of the Twilight Court” suitable for Aloy?
Thanks in advance if you answer! 🙂
Hello! If Aloy is playing as a main DD, then the Shadow Court Hunter is a good choice for her. The Golden Troupe is focused on playing with an elemental skill, so it won’t fit in any build, unfortunately.
It's not 4★, it's 5★, please correct it. It's a shame that we can't get this baby any more. I started playing in 4.4. , that is, exactly 2.2 versions after it was distributed(
Oh, it's updated. 5★)
My squad: Aloy, Xiangling, Bennett, Ye Lanb.
Norm?
So this is the same standard national shirt, only with elanka instead of blue. Here, anyone puts on the fourth slot, incl. and Aloy will do if there is no one better
add stringless to the guide, he is imba on it
Added bows to disperse elemental damage separately. Thank you!
Will the Polar Star go to her?
In general, yes. But it boosts the attack power, which, in calculator calculations, loses in the overall DPS boost to parameters such as normal attack amplification. For Aloy, the Polar Star is useful in that it boosts both elemental damage from skills and poke from the hand. If there is no alternative in the form of Thunder Impulse, then you can take it)
she has constellations
Formally, yes. But they don't have any ives. And the material for pumping is still impossible to collect. So, we will stick to the idea that they are not.
In New Dawn canon, Aloy is a genetic clone created by Elisabeth Sobek.
Spoilering better than this sentence is impossible. you can no longer play in the choir, the main spoiler. guys who haven’t played, but want to play, will see this and won’t even understand what’s the matter, but they will understand that it’s some kind of clone, but you don’t need to know this because it spoils the impression)
Sorry. For me, Horizon is nothing more than a curling iron game that I know nothing about. Because, he said, as he said 🙂
Your comment for me, as a person who has not played Horizon, was more of a spoiler than this line, because from those lines I thought that in Teyvat there was a clone according to Genshin’s lore, and not according to the original lore
