Aloy, the hero from PlayStation’s hugely successful Horizon Zero Dawn is making her way to Genshin Impact. She will be the game’s first crossover character and will be available for free to all players. Aloy is a bow user, who has found a Cryo vision so you can expect to freeze your enemies in place.

To get Aloy during Genshin Impact 2.1, players will need to play on PlayStation and be Adventure Rank 20 or above. If they are, they will receive Aloy for free in a in-game mail when they log in after update 2.1 arrives. They do not have to do anything, and this will happen automatically as long as they are above Adventure Rank 20.

On PC and mobile, players will receive Aloy for free in update 2.2, once again via an in-game email, without the need to do anything other than download the update, log in, and be Adventure Rank 20.

Attacks

  • Normal attack: Perform up to four consecutive shots with a bow
  • Charged attack: Aim with a precise shot, dealing increased damage. Frost accumulates on the arrowhead as you charge a shot, dealing Cryo damage once fully charged
  • Plunging attack: Fires off several arrows in mid-air before striking the ground with an area of effect attack upon impact

Elemental Skill

Frozen Wilds

Aloy throws a freeze bomb that explodes on impact, dealing Cryo damage. After it explodes, the freeze bomb splits into several Chillwater Bomblets that explode on contact with opponents or after a short delay, also dealing Cryo damage. When a Freeze Bomb or Chillwater Bomblet hits an enemy, the opponent’s ATK is reduced and Aloy receives 1 Coil Stack.

Coil

Each Coil stack increases Aloy’s Normal Attack damage, when she gets 4 stacks, they are all cleared to put her in the Rushing Ice state, which gives a further increase to her damage during normal attacks, and converts them to Cryo damage.

Elemental Burst

Prophecies of Dawn

Aloy throws a Power Cell filled with Cryo at the targeted area, then pierces it with an arrow causing a Cryo explosion.

Passives

  • Easy Does It – when Aloy is in the party, animals who produce Fowl, Raw Meat, or Chilled Meat will not be startled when party members approach them.
  • Combat Override – When Aloy receives a coil stack from Frozen Wilds, her ATK is increased by 16%. Nearby party members receive an attack boost of 8%. This effect lasts for ten seconds
  • Strong Strike – When Aloy is in the Rushing Ice state, her Cryo damage bonus increases by 3.5% every second. A maximum bonus of 35% Cryo damage can be gained this way.
