Aloy’s abilities and level up materials

Aloy may not have the largest skill set, but she more than makes up for it with her powerful Cryo abilities. She’s perfect for squads that need an attack-type support, as she can dish out a ton of damage and Freeze enemies in their tracks.

  • Light Attack Rapid Shot – The bow is a powerful weapon that can shoot firey arrows, iced arrows, or even arrows that explode. When you charge up your shot, you can add even more damage and Cryo to the shots.
  • Elemental Skill Ice Waste – Aloy has a special kind of bomb she can throw at enemies. It explodes and does Cryo damage. But that’s not all! After the explosion, there are small ice bombs that stay behind and explode too when they come in contact with enemies. And if that wasn’t enough, the enemy’s attack power decreases after being hit. Plus, Aloy gains a Spiral level. The more levels she has, the more powerful her attacks become. When she reaches level 4, she enters a mode called Swift Ice. This makes her normal attacks even more powerful and turn into Cryo damage.
  • Dawn’s Prophecy Elemental Explosion – Aloy hurls a mighty snowball at her enemies, dealing massive Cryo damage in an area.

Items needed to level up and Aloy’s talents

The Best Aloy Weapon

In your squad, Aloy often attacks with skills and causes elemental reactions. To increase the effectiveness of weapons, look for more damage among weapons. For the heroine, bows with a chance / damage to critical strike or attack power are perfect. If that’s too much of an investment for you, get by with Elemental Mastery weapons and useful passives.

The best bow for Aloy:

  • Thunderous Pulse – Excellent base damage and critical damage. Passive effect increases attack power.
  • North Star – Increases critical strike chance by 33%, passive effect gives a bonus to damage for elemental skill and elemental explosion.
  • Skywing – Increases the chance and damage of a critical hit.
  • Stringless – increases Elemental Mastery, and also increases the damage of elemental skill and elemental explosion.
  • Prototype: Crescent – A bow can be crafted at a forge and has excellent stats for its level.
