Aloy skills in Genshin Impact
Normal Attack: Rapid Fire
- Normal Attack: Aloy sends out four bow arrows in rapid succession.
- Charged Attack: Aloy charges her bow shot, imbuing it with biting frost and dealing Cryo damage to any enemy hit.
- Plunging Attack: Aloy fires a shower of arrows into the sky before striking the ground, dealing AoE damage to all nearby foes.
Aloy Elemental Skill: Frozen Wilds
Aside from simply pelting her enemies with deadly ice arrows, the Horizon Zero Dawn protagonist can also hurl out a deadly Freeze Bomb. After the Freeze Bomb detonates, it will split into smaller chillwater Bomblets.
These Bomblets will explode upon contact with nearby enemies, or after a short delay. Aloy’s Elemental skill also reduces her enemies’ attacks and inflicts them with Cryo. She also gains one Coil stack, which further increases Aloy’s Normal Attack damage.
When four Coil stacks are obtained, Aloy gains access to the Rushing Ice ability – this transforms her Normal Attack into Cryo damage.
Aloy Elemental Burst: Prophecies of Dawn
Aloy throws out a Cryo-filled Power Cell towards her enemies, then quickly detonates it with a well-aimed arrow. Upon detonation, all enemies within the blast are inflicted with AoE Cryo damage.
