Genshin Impact is a game with a long list of characters for you to choose from, so it was no surprise that they would be open to collaboration events. For the game's first anniversary, they released the character Aloy from Guerrilla Games's Horizon Zero Dawn.

Aloy is a five-star cryo bow user who can be great for free-to-play players who couldn't pull Ganyu. In addition, she has been a huge hit with fans of the Horizon Zero Dawn game and even comes with her own unique bow.
Best Weapons for Aloy
Aloy is pretty different from other characters as she comes with her bow Predator, which will work perfectly with her. Still, some players may wish to use another bow with Aloy or even use a five-star weapon to try and get the most out of the free character. To help give you a few different options for Aloy, below are three bows that you can use with the character:
| Weapon Name | Base Damage | Secondary Attack | Passive Ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predator | 42 | +9% Attack | If you are playing on a Playstation 4 or Playstation 5 console, then hitting an opponent with cryo damage will increase Aloy's attack by 10% for six seconds for up to two stacks. In addition, Aloy will get a 66 point attack boost from using this bow. |
| Hamayumi | 41 | +12% Attack | Normal attacks are increased between 16% and 32%, while charged attacks get between a 12% to 24% bump. In addition, when Aloy reaches 100 energy, this effect is increased by 100%. |
| Amos' Bow | 46 | +10.8% Attack | Aloy's normal and charge attacks are increased between 12% and 24%. In addition, the damage will then increase by an additional 8% to 16% every 0.1 seconds for up to five stacks. |
Hamayumi is especially useful for players who get Aloy and aren't wanting to play on their home console. It's important to note that the Predator's passive ability will only activate while you are using a Playstation console. Even if you switch to mobile after playing on your Playstation, the passive ability won't work.

Best Artifacts For Aloy
To get the very most out of Aloy, you are still going to need to set her up with a decent artifact set. Luckily, there are two five-star sets already in the game that are a perfect fit for Aloy.
| Artifact Name | Two-Piece Set | Four-Piece Set |
|---|---|---|
| Blizzard Strayer | +15% Cryo Damage | When fighting opponents weak to Cryo, Aloy will gain a 20% increase to her crit rate. If she manages to freeze an enemy, her crit rate will increase by another 20%. |
| Shimenawa's Reminiscence | +15% Attack | If Aloy has at least 15 energy during an attack, she will lose it. In exchange, her normal, charged, and plunge damage is now increased by 50%. |
Keep in mind that you can always mix two-piece sets if needed, especially if you are just looking to give Aloy a damage bump.
