Aloy is a Cryo user and a bow wielder whom players can use as a Sub DPS, DPS, or Burst DPS unit. In this Genshin Impact Aloy build, we will share some of the best weapons and artifacts for Aloy.

Best Build For Aloy

Here are some of the best weapons and artifacts for Aloy.

Best Weapon for Aloy

Here are some of the best weapons for Aloy. 

• Amos’ Bow
  • Increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 12%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG increases by 8% every 0.1s for up to 5 times.
• The Stringless  
  • Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24%.
• Predator Bow 
  • Effective only on PlayStation system – Dealing Cryo DMG to opponents increases this character’s Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 10% for 6s. This effect can have a maximum of 2 stacks. Additionally, when Aloy equips Predator, ATK is increased by 66.
• Hamayumi 
  • Increases Normal Attack DMG by 16% and Charged Attack DMG by 12%. When the equipping character’s Energy reaches 100%, this effect is increased by 100%.

After using Aloy for almost two months, we think the Amos Bow and its free-to-play version, Hamayumi, is the best weapon choice for Aloy.

Players can also use something like The Stringless that increases the Elemental Burst damage by 24% at base refinement. Granted, you want to use Aloy as a burst DPS.

Best Artifact for Aloy

Aloy’s Elemental Skill and Burst attacks are cryo-based. So the best artifact for her is the Blizzard Strayer set.

Now, we know how hard it is to farm a particular element-based artifact. So, here are a few alternative options –

• Gladiator’s Finale Artifact Set
  • 2-Piece Bonus
    • ATK +18%.
  • 4-Piece Bonus
    • If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.

• Shimenawa’s Reminiscence Artifact Set
  • 2-Piece Bonus
    • ATK +18%
  • 4-Piece Bonus
    • When casting an Elemental Skill, if the character has 15 or more Energy, they lose 15 Energy, and Normal/Charged/Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 50% for 10s. This effect will not trigger again during that duration.
