Best Build Aloy Genshin Impact: Artefact, Weapon, and Team Composition
Aloy was introduced with the predicate Burst DPS build. She uses a bow and Cryo elements. She has a simple skillset and can fill several roles , ranging from main DPS, sub DPS, or Cryo batteries.
When using her Elemental Skill, Aloy will throw a bomb at the enemy. When it explodes, the bomb will deal Cryo damage . After that, the bomb will become scattered fragments.
When the shard hits the enemy,
then Aloy will get one stack. When the stack reaches four pieces, then Aloy's
attack will be infused with Cryo for 10 seconds.
This skill will produce quite a lot of energy particles, namely as much as 5 energy, with a cooldown of 20 seconds. This skill is very suitable to be used as a battery for other Cryo characters, such as Eula and Ayaka.
Aloy will throw a bomb quickly when using Elemental Burst, dealing Cryo damage in the surrounding area. This attack has a large enough area with low energy cost .
Artifact
The artifacts that Aloy uses depend on the role and gameplay you want.
As a main DPS, you can use 4 Blizzard Strayer . This artifact is very suitable for use when playing in a Freeze team composition, because its Cryo infusion can freeze enemies, and increase the Crit rate significantly.
As a sub DPS or battery, Aloy can use 4 Noblesse Oblige . By taking advantage of her short Elemental Burst cooldown , Aloy can easily access this artifact's ATK buff constantly. For alternative artifacts , you can use 2 Noblesse Oblige, 2 Blizzard Strayer, and 2 Gladiator's Finale/Shimenawa's Reminiscence.
- Main stat sought: ATK%, Cryo Damage Bonus, Crit rate/DMG.
- Priority sub stat: Crit rate/DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery.
Weapon
Weapons will be divided into two categories, namely the best weapons and the best F2P weapons.
For the best Weapons , you can eat 5-star weapons, such as Thundering Pulse, Skyward Harp, Amos Bow, and Elegy for The End, because they have high base Attack and good passive effects. You can also use The Viridescent Hunt from the Battle Pass.
For F2P Weapons , if you want to play Aloy as a sub DPS, you can use The Stringless, Alley Hunter, and Windblume Ode. As for the battery, you can use the Favonius Warbow or Sacrificial Bow.
And to play DPS , you can use Rust, Hamayumi, or Blackcliff Warbow. You can use Prototype Crescent, but it takes more time to take advantage of the passive effect.
Team Composition
Like other Cryo characters, Aloy is playable on the Freeze team. As a sub DPS, he can replace several other Cryo characters, who have similar roles , such as Rosaria, Kaeya, or even Diona. What distinguishes Aloy from these characters on the Freeze team is the energy particles that are given and their damage is Burst.
The composition of Reverse Melt will rely on Melt damage from Cryo characters. This composition will ensure that the Cryo character will cause the Melt damage . The gameplay of this team composition will focus on the continuous use of Elemental Skills and Burst (Quickswap).
As a battery, you can add Aloy to any team you want, such as Eula's, Ayaka's, or Ganyu's team. The best Cryo battery character is currently held by Diona, If you don't have Diona, or maybe need a Cryo battery on both teams while playing Spiral Abyss, Aloy can fill the role
Here are some tips you can use:
– When using Elemental Skills and when collecting stacks, stacks will not disappear when Aloy leaves the arena. This will greatly facilitate team rotation, because there is no need to worry about missing stacks . This mechanic is similar to Noelle's Elemental Burst.
– Stack Aloy has an internal cooldown of 0.1 seconds, therefore, it is not recommended to collect bomb fragments using characters such as Kazuha, Jean, and Sucrose, as they will only count as one stack .
– Predator, Aloy's weapon for PlayStation players, is no better, when compared to existing weapons. In addition to its low base attack, its passive effect also provides a relatively small bonus and also a flat attack. You can use it, if you don't have any other weapons.
Closing
Although obtained for free, Aloy cannot be underestimated. It can be placed in various roles. Other free characters such as Xiangling and Kaeya are also able to provide good performance, which is not inferior to other characters, even being able to compete with 5-star characters.
With Aloy's entry into Genshin Impact, this could open another door for collaboration. Who knows in the future, there will be iconic characters from other games , like Kratos from God of War, Wolf from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice or maybe Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy.
