Genshin Impact Aloy: Skills descriptions and splash art leaked
Last Updated on: 24th July 2021, 11:00 pm
The leak storm doesn’t stop for Genshin Impact, and after all the other characters had their skill sets revealed, now is time for Aloy, the crossover character from Horizon Zero Dawn. This is Genshin’s first character from another game, and will be exclusive for Playstation players during 2.1, and will be made available for everyone else in the next update.
Most of the information comes from the leaker deweweewewe and the Honey Impact database. Aloy, Savior of Another World, will be a 5-star Cryo Bow user in Genshin Impact, and will use the Cryo Hypostasis items (Crystalline Bloom) to ascend. She will also use the Book of Freedom to level her talents.

Genshin Impact Aloy skills
Her normal attacks, at first, don’t have anything special, nor does her charged shot like Tartaglia or Ganyu, and her multipliers aren’t very impressive either. This makes her seem like a skill focused character, but that’s only the start.
The Elemental Skill is called Frozen Wilds. Aloy throws a Freeze Bomb that will explode on the impact, creating many Chillwater Bomblets that also explode on contact. Whenever these Bomblets explode, Aloy gets a Coil stack and the enemy’s attack is reduced.
Each stack gives her a Normal Attack damage bonus. When she gets 4 stacks, her attacks will be converted to Cryo. The effects last for 30s after she leaves the field.
Her Elemental Burst is Prophecies of Dawn. Aloy throws a Power Cell in the target’s direction and explodes it with an arrow, dealing AoE Cryo Damage. Much more simple than her skill, but still powerful.
Aloy Talents and Constellations
Her field passive is Easy Does It. Similar to Sayu’s, the player will not scare animals that can produce any kind of meat when you get close to them (Timmy’s pigeons, your time has come once again).
Her Combat Override talent gives her extra attack when she gets Coil stacks, and half of this bonus is also given to your allies.
Finally, Strong Strike gives her extra Cryo Damage for each second she has her Coils stacks maxed. Starts at 3,5% and goes up to 35%.
Aloy will be the first Genshin Impact character with no constellations! This may sound absurd, but is understandable when we consider she’s a crossover character given for free. And also, she seems to be very strong even without them. We may expect this to be the rule for future crossovers, but miHoYo can always surprise us.

Aloy seems to be a great main DPS character, and will work wonders with weapons like Rust or the new craftable Hamayumi bow. And again, she’ll be given for free, so she’ll be a great Cryo character to build if you don’t get lucky on the Ayaka banner.
Genshin Impact is in the first week of its 2.0 version, “The Immortal God and the Eternal Euthymia”, and introduces new characters, new weapons and an entire new region for exploration, along with many new systems and enemies.
You can play the game for free on mobile devices, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and Pcs on both miHoYo’s official launcher and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch version is stated to be in development.
