Aloy
Aloy is a free gift almost everyone owns, and she can hold Cryo main DPS in Freeze or Melt quickswap teams if you invest in the artifacts. Her strength is the self ATK-buff stacks; her weakness is leaning on good bows she can't easily get. Farm 4pc Blizzard Strayer, a CRIT DMG circlet and a Cryo goblet first; for the weapon, the craftable Prototype Crescent with weak-point shots is already solid. Don't expect her to rival 5-star meta carries, but for clearing regular content she's more than enough.

Aloy's talents
Rapid Fire
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, biting frost will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged frost arrow will deal Cryo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Frozen Wilds
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. She then enters the Rushing Ice state, which further increases the DMG dealt by her Normal Attacks and converts her Normal Attack DMG to Cryo DMG.
While in the Rushing Ice state, Aloy cannot obtain new Coil stacks.
Coil effects will be cleared 30s after Aloy leaves combat.
You think that's cold? Guess you've never been to The Cut.
Prophecies of Dawn
Whether "Zero Dawn" referred to hope or extinction no longer matters. Aloy has already saved her world, and the fate of this one is still being forged by its own heroes.
Combat Override
Strong Strike
Easy Does It
Combat Rotation
- Open with E (Frozen Wilds) — throw the Freeze Bomb for AoE Cryo DMG and start building Coil stacks.
- Keep landing Normal Attacks so hits from the bomb or its Chillwater Bomblets each add a Coil stack.
- At 4 Coil stacks, Aloy automatically enters Rushing Ice, where her Normal Attacks convert fully to Cryo DMG with a big damage boost.
- Use this Rushing Ice window to chain Normal/Charged Attacks — this is her main damage phase.
- Once you've built up 40 Energy, unleash Q (Prophecies of Dawn) for an AoE Cryo burst, either to finish the combo or restart it.
- E has a 20s cooldown versus Q's 12s, so Q usually comes back first — pace your rotation around E's 20s cooldown to refresh Coil, rather than expecting to reuse E before Q is ready again.
- If running Aloy as sub-DPS/support, fire E then swap off-field, coming back when E is off cooldown or to trigger elemental reactions.
- Repeat the E → Normal Attacks (Rushing Ice) → Q loop on cooldown, always prioritizing enough Energy (40) to keep Q online.

Voice Lines & Comments
Birthday
Never put much stock in birthdays. Where I come from, it's a time to celebrate your mother, not yourself. Even so, I wish you a, uh... happy day.
Self-Introduction
Hello
Aloy here. I don't know this world, but my arrows are sharp and my bow's ready. If your party needs help, I'll do what I can.
About Aloy
I grew up an outcast, and it wasn't much fun. Even though I'm a stranger here, people are friendlier than the tribe that was supposed to raise me. It's... nice.
More About Aloy: I
I'm not much for talking about myself. The mission is what's important.
More About Aloy: II
I never had parents. But a man named Rost raised me. He was stern, but kind and generous. And he trained me well. I miss him.
More About Aloy: III
I spent my whole life looking for my mother and never found her, not really. But I found ancient messages from the woman I was... cloned from. It felt like she knew me. And how to inspire me.
More About Aloy: IV
When I grew up, I didn't have any friends. Later in my travels, I made some. But I left that world before we could grow close. That's why I'm glad to have spent time with you.
More About Aloy: V
Trust doesn't come easy for me, but I know I can trust you. You're a true friend, and I don't say that often.
About Us: Action
Everything I do is in the service of life, not death. That's why I'm here with you.
About Us: Oath
An oath seems like a formality. But if you want mine, you've got it.
About Us: Moving Forward
I'll do whatever it takes to finish this with you. I won't hesitate. I won't falter.
Hobbies & Personality
Aloy's Hobbies
Not sure if I have a hobby, unless you count reading things from the past. So, history... I guess?
Aloy's Troubles
One world needed saving. Now another. There's never time to rest.
Favorite Food
I'm not picky. Anything's better than traveling on an empty stomach.
Least Favorite Food
Had an Oseram stew once that was so thick you could pave a road with it. Ugh.
Feelings About Ascension
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
All right. Feels like we're making progress, but we can't stop now.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Getting better. Getting stronger. Always a good thing.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
No matter how good a hunter you are, you can always get better. Never rest. Never stop learning.
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
When we started out, you were just another stranger in a world I didn't understand. But after everything we've been through, I can say this for certain: My bow is yours, now and always.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Aloy already gets +28,8% Cryo DMG Bonus baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- Has crowd-control (knockback/pull/freeze/stun…) via Frozen Wilds.
- Buffs the whole team's DMG/stats via Combat Override, with no elemental restriction on party composition.
- The Normal Attack (via Rapid Fire) already deals innate Cryo DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
- The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
- 5★ (Bow) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
