What element is Aloy?

Aloy is a 5-star Cryo character from Ranger who uses a bow, released in version 2.1.

What stat does Aloy scale on?

Aloy's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Royal Bow is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to level Aloy's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Freedom among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

Aloy build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

The Daybreak Chronicles is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Aloy's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage, Royal Bow and The First Great Magic come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Aloy, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Blizzard Strayer on Aloy, with Finale of the Deep Galleries and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Cryo DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

Frozen Wilds

Aloy throws a Freeze Bomb in the targeted direction that explodes on impact, dealing Cryo DMG. After it explodes, the Freeze Bomb will split up into many Chillwater Bomblets that explode on contact with opponents or after a short delay, dealing Cryo DMG. 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.
