Genshin Impact: Aloy guide — Weapons, artifacts, and talents

Aloy is the heroine of the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise. You might be wondering what she’s doing in Genshin Impact? Well, she’s actually a promotional character, a 5-star bow wielder who’s also free to obtain. Here’s our Genshin Impact Aloy guide to help you with her best weapons, artifacts, talents, and build.

Note: For more information about the game, check out our Genshin Impact guides and features hub, as well as our version 2.1 overview.

Genshin Impact Aloy guide: Best weapons, artifacts, and talents

I’ve divided our Genshin Impact Aloy guide into several sections. You can refer to the pages below for the parts that you need help with:

• Talent priorities, passives, and constellations
• Best weapon
• Best artifact sets
• Character ascension materials
• Gameplay tips and character summary

Note 1: Aloy will remain a PlayStation (PS4/PS5) exclusive from September 1 until October 13. When version 2.2 goes live on October 13, you can obtain her via in-game mail if you’re on a different platform. However, we do have a mini-guide on how to get her early, but only if you have a PS4/PS5 and you plan on switching back to your PC.

Note 2: Information about Aloy has already been leaked and data-mined ahead of release (i.e., you can see this listed via Honey Hunter World/Honey Impact).
