Officially the rarest character in the game is Genshin Impact’s Aloy. She made the journey into Teyvat in a crossover with Horizon Zero Dawn and is a cryo user armed with a bow and some frosty bombs. If you happen to have a copy of her, you can find out her best build in our guide below.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Aloy build guide:
What’s the best Genshin Impact Aloy build?
Aloy is a five-star cryo bow wielder who was given out to players for free as part of a crossover with Horizon Zero Dawn.
| Rarity | ★★★★★ |
| Element | Cryo |
| Weapon | Bow |
| Best weapon | Thundering Pulse |
| Substitute weapons | Prototype Crescent |
| Best artifact set | Blizzard Strayer |
| Artifact substitutes | Emblem of Severed Fate, Noblesse Oblige |
| Main stats | Sands – Energy recharge Goblet – Cryo damage bonus Circlet – Attack |
| Sub-stats | Energy recharge, attack, crit rate, crit damage, elemental mastery |
While many overlook her, Aloy does have her uses. Her skill infuses her normal attacks with cryo, and she deals quick, wide-spanning AoE damage with her burst. Her burst has a low cooldown and energy requirement, and her skill generates plenty of cryo particles, making her a great quickswap unit that can battery other cryo characters.
Aloy doesn’t have any constellations, the long cooldown on her skill means her cryo application is pretty inconsistent, and that energy regeneration isn’t as steady as it at first seems. Regardless, if you’ve got her, there’s nothing stopping you from flaunting her – she fits well in those aforementioned cryo-fuelled quickswap teams, and a well-built Aloy is a rare gem for you to show off. In this guide, we’ll be focusing on the best quickswap build for Aloy.
Can you still get Aloy in Genshin Impact?
Unfortunately, the event that rewarded new players with a copy of Aloy in the mail is now over. It ran for a year but came to an end in 2022.
Considering she doesn’t have constellations and hasn’t had a banner since her release, we think it’s unlikely that she’ll ever come back, especially since she didn’t appear in Genshin to coincide with Horizon: Zero Dawn Forbidden West’s release.
What are the best weapons for Aloy?
Like many characters, the best weapon for Aloy depends on how you want to use her. In quickswap teams, Polar Star is the best choice as Aloy can easily build two stacks during the first rotation. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a four-star option, Stringless at refinement rank five gives her a nice increase to both her skill and burst damage.
| Thundering Pulse | Bonus effect: Increases crit damage Skill: This bow increases Aloy’s attack by 20% and grants a Thunder Emblem. At stacks 1/2/3, normal attack damage further increases by 12/24/40%. Each stack has an individual duration gained by: - Normal attacks with elemental damage - Casting an elemental skill - Having less than 100% energy | Weapon banner |
| Polar Star | Bonus effect: Increases crit rate Skill: Increases elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 12%. After a normal attack, charged attack, elemental skill, or elemental burst hits an opponent, you gain one stack of Ashen Nightstar for 12 seconds. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, your attack increases by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the normal attack, charged attack, elemental skill, or elemental burst calculates independently of others | Weapon banner |
| Rust | Bonus effect: Increases attack Skill: Increases normal attack damage by 40% while decreasing charged attack damage by 10% | All banners |
| Stringless | Base stat: Increases elemental mastery Skill: Increases elemental skill and elemental burst damage by 24% | All banners |
What are the best Aloy artifacts?
Generally, the best artifact set for Aloy is Emblem of Severed Fate, especially in melt-focused teams. It’s a resin-efficient and universal set that’s easy to farm and provides her with a nice boost to her elemental burst damage and energy recharge. Alternatively, you can use Blizzard Strayer, offering a significant increase to her cryo damage.
