In the first major crossover in Genshin Impact, Horizon Zero Dawn star Aloy heads to Teyvat.
Naturally a bow-wielder, she is aligned with the Cryo element. Thanks to her skills, she's more useful as a DPS, and can put out some pretty decent damage.
Our best build for Aloy treats her as such, but be mindful that she'll be a bit of a glass cannon.
To get Aloy in Genshin Impact, simply log into the game while Version 2.2 is ongoing. Check he in-game mailbox and she should be waiting.
The best weapons for Aloy in Genshin Impact
We've gone with a weapon that ramps up her overall damage, the Thundering Pulse. A five-star weapon, it can really do some damage in the right hands.
An alternative if you want to deal more Elemental Burst or Elemental Skill damage is the Polar Star.
★★★★★
Rule By Thunder
Increases ATK by 20/25/30/35/40% and grants the might of the Thunder Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Thunder Emblem increases Normal Attack DMG by 12/24/40% to 24/48/80%.
The character will obtain 1 stack of Thunder Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently.
★★★★★
Daylight's Augury
Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12/15/18/21/24%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s.
When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48% - 20/40/60/96%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.
