Is Aloy good?
Aloy's Burst hits hard for a low energy cost, and once she's stacked up enough Coils from her scattered bomb skill, her normal attacks convert into Cryo damage while debuffing the enemy's Attack and buffing her own team's.
The catch is that everything routes through those Coil stacks, which only build up if the bombs actually land on enemies, and her base normal attack damage is weak without them. She also has no constellations to lean on for extra power, part of why she's stuck at D tier. She works best in a Reverse Melt quickswap setup with a Pyro carry.
Pairs well with: Reverse Melt quickswap team (Cryo on Pyro).
Strengths
- Strong, cheap Burst damage
- Can convert normal attacks into Cryo once stacked up
- Debuffs enemy Attack while buffing her own team
Weaknesses
- Relies on landing bomb hits to build up her stacks
- Weak normal attack damage without those stacks
- Has no constellations to fall back on

Profile
Aloy carries the title "Savior From Another World". Aloy is a female Human. Her birthday is April 4th, and she stands Medium Girl tall. Aloy is voiced by Mufei (沐霏) in Chinese, Giselle Fernandez in English, Takagaki Ayahi (高垣彩陽) in Japanese, and Jo Hyeon-jung (조현정) in Korean. Aloy was released on 1 September 2021.
Background
An agile hunter from the Nora tribe. With bow in hand, she's always ready to protect the innocent.
Aloy uses the medium female model. She has pale, freckled skin; light green-brown eyes; and long, light auburn-brown hair, some of which is tied into braids.
An outcast since birth, Aloy grew up in a harsh mountain wilderness near the tribe that shunned her.
Fostered by an expert hunter, she trained to hunt with cat-like grace and deadly accuracy – but the things she most wanted to learn, he could not teach her.
Most of all, she burned to know the circumstances of her birth – who her parents were, and why she was shunned by the tribe.
Her quest for answers swept her into a wider and more dangerous world than she ever could have imagined.
She encountered strange and powerful new tribes, ancient ruins rife with mysteries, and dangerous enemies, both human and machine.
Eventually she learned that her origins and destiny were deeply tied to the fate of the world itself, and fought an epic battle to save it against the evil forces of an artificial intelligence from the ancient past.
She thought that this would be the end of her journey.
But there is always more to an adventurer's tale.
She has now come to Teyvat in search of a new challenges.
In this brave new world, Aloy is ready for the hunt!
Stories
6Character Details
Outcast, hunter of machines, Seeker, Anointed, Savior... Aloy had many identities in her original world, and she was destined on account of her genetics to be the heroine who would heal it.
Now, she has arrived in a new world, full of never-before-seen challenges, and once again, she throws herself gladly into the hunt.
Character Story 1
Aloy was born an outcast, deeply rejected and feared by her tribe. She was raised in the rugged mountains near their tribal dwellings by the experienced Hunter, Rost.
He taught her how to hunt: to have cat-like form and deadly accuracy. And yet, he could not pass the most important thing onto her — the truth of her birth. Who were her parents? Why had she been cast out?
Unfortunately, the reasons for this were known only to the very High Matriarchs of the tribe who had exiled her.
Character Story 2
There was only one way to discover the identity of Aloy's parents — victory at the Proving, the tribe's annual hunting contest, in which the victor would be free to ask for a reward.
She would train hard all her life for that event, but when the moment of trial came, the ritual would end in tragedy.
Mysterious assassins slew the participating Hunters, and it was only through Rost's sacrifice that Aloy was able to escape.
Later, Aloy would learn that she was the true target of the attack, for she had almost exactly the same face as an enigmatic, ancient woman.
Character Story 3
Aloy knew that she had to find these killers to understand her origins.
Her pursuit brought her into a wild and dangerous world far beyond her imagination, bringing strange and powerful tribes, mysterious ancient ruins, and terrifying enemies — whether human or machine — before her.
In the end, the true enemy, HADES, appeared before her. It was an artificial intelligence filled with malice, bent on cleansing the world of all life.
There was only one way to defeat HADES: investigate her link with that ancient woman, that "Aloy from the past"... Or could she have been her mother?
Character Story 4
Hot on HADES' trail, Aloy traversed a great many ruins from the distant past, and ultimately discovered her origin: she was not born of human flesh and blood but was the result of cloning.
The genetics of the woman who had saved all life 1,000 years ago had been the basis for her creation.
This had not only granted her the abilities she had possessed since birth, but had also guided her destiny, for this genetic material was the key to preventing the second coming of the apocalypse.
Armed with this knowledge, and with the help of allies from many tribes, Aloy was finally able to defeat HADES and its human and machine minions in a decisive battle in the shining city of Meridian.
Character Story 5
After defeating HADES, Aloy embarked on a new journey, pursuing ancient technologies and cleansing the land that HADES had trampled underfoot.
In her long journey, she found every Old World Ruin that there was to be found in search of the Old Ones' lost secrets.
In one ancient, dilapidated laboratory, she found something she had never seen before — a gleaming portal. As she drew close, she was enveloped by powerful energies, and she saw her own image within the portal as one looking into a mirror, feeling as if she were in two places at once.
With a flash of light, the "world" that Aloy knew completely disappeared from her sight, and she now found herself in a strange, beautiful new world just waiting to be explored.

Frozen Wilds
Elemental SkillAloy throws a Freeze Bomb in the targeted direction that explodes on impact, dealing Cryo DMG. After it explodes, the Freeze Bomb will split up into many Chillwater Bomblets that explode on contact with opponents or after a short delay, dealing Cryo DMG. When a Freeze Bomb or Chillwater Bomblet hits an opponent, the opponent's ATK is decreased and Aloy receives 1 Coil stack. Aloy can gain up to 1 Coil stack every 0.1s. Coil ·Each stack increases Aloy's Normal Attack DMG. ·When Aloy has 4 Coil stacks, all stacks of Coil are cleared.
