Combat Info

Ascensions and Stats

Talents

Rapid Fire | Normal Attack

Skill Attributes

Frozen Wilds | Elemental Skill

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

1. Each stack increases Aloy's Normal Attack DMG.
2. 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 the field.

You think that’s cold? Guess you’ve never been to The Cut.

Personality

Aloy has the will of a hero but she was born an outcast and even shunned away by her own people. Despite all this, she fights for the village and even for the sake of the world. Aloy lives in a world dominated by machines and due to this, her fascination and understanding of machines is incredible. During her web event, she displayed an expertise in understanding the same by finding a ruin guard, ruin hunter and ruin grader’s weakpoints.

Aloy is determined and once she sets her mind on something, she does not change it no matter what. She will get through with what she wants to do, even if she has to risk her life. She knows that she was the hero of her old world and this world is for the heroes from here.

Appearance

Aloy has a “Teen” body type and is 5’3” / 160 cm with long brown hair that has 3 braids on the front and two on the back. She also has long hair down her shoulder and she also has a ponytail on top of her normal hair on the back with green eyes with freckles below it.

On her right ear is a Focus, a gadget from the game Horizon Zero Dawn. Her outfit is different shades of brown along with blue and red patterns. Over her normal outfit she also wears a blouse with furry shoulders. Around her neck is a bright blue scarf. Around her waist is a belt with no visible buckle. She carries three pouches on her belt along with a quiver. On the quiver is a cryo vision which is unofficially called a “ranger vision” due to its shape.

Character Stories

Note: Character stories for Aloy contains spoilers for the game “Horizon: Zero Dawn”.

Character Details

Outcast, hunter of machines, Seeker, Anointed, Savior... Aloy had many identities in her original world, and she was destined on account of her genetics to be the heroine who would heal it.

Now, she has arrived in a new world, full of never-before-seen challenges, and once again, she throws herself gladly into the hunt.

Story 1

Aloy was born an outcast, deeply rejected and feared by her tribe. She was raised in the rugged mountains near their tribal dwellings by the experienced Hunter, Rost.

He taught her how to hunt: to have cat-like form and deadly accuracy. And yet, he could not pass the most important thing onto her — the truth of her birth. Who were her parents? Why had she been cast out?

Unfortunately, the reasons for this were known only to the very High Matriarchs of the tribe who had exiled her.

Story 2

There was only one way to discover the identity of Aloy's parents — victory at the Proving, the tribe's annual hunting contest, in which the victor would be free to ask for a reward.

She would train hard all her life for that event, but when the moment of trial came, the ritual would end in tragedy.

Mysterious assassins slew the participating Hunters, and it was only through Rost's sacrifice that Aloy was able to escape.

Later, Aloy would learn that she was the true target of the attack, for she had almost exactly the same face as an enigmatic, ancient woman.

Story 3

Aloy knew that she had to find these killers to understand her origins.

Her pursuit brought her into a wild and dangerous world far beyond her imagination, bringing strange and powerful tribes, mysterious ancient ruins, and terrifying enemies — whether human or machine — before her.

In the end, the true enemy, HADES, appeared before her. It was an artificial intelligence filled with malice, bent on cleansing the world of all life.

There was only one way to defeat HADES: investigate her link with that ancient woman, that "Aloy from the past"... Or could she have been her mother?

Story 4

Hot on HADES' trail, Aloy traversed a great many ruins from the distant past, and ultimately discovered her origin: she was not born of human flesh and blood but was the result of cloning.

The genetics of the woman who had saved all life 1,000 years ago had been the basis for her creation.

This had not only granted her the abilities she had possessed since birth, but had also guided her destiny, for this genetic material was the key to preventing the second coming of the apocalypse.

Armed with this knowledge, and with the help of allies from many tribes, Aloy was finally able to defeat HADES and its human and machine minions in a decisive battle in the shining city of Meridian.

Story 5

After defeating HADES, Aloy embarked on a new journey, pursuing ancient technologies and cleansing the land that HADES had trampled underfoot.

In her long journey, she found every Old World Ruin that could be found in search of the Old Ones' lost secrets.

In one ancient, dilapidated laboratory, she found something she had never seen before — a gleaming portal. As she drew close, she was enveloped by powerful energies, and she saw her own image within the portal as one looking into a mirror, feeling as if she were in two places at once.

With a flash of light, the "world" that Aloy knew completely disappeared from her sight, and she now found herself in a strange, beautiful new world just waiting to be explored.

Final Thoughts

Aloy is a free character who can deal decent damage and because of this, early games will be more fun thanks to her. Aloy can not only apply cryo, but also deal rapid cryo damage thanks to her elemental skill. However, Aloy has a few downsides as well as for starters, it is difficult to trigger her cryo infusion due to her bombs being scattered around. This can be solved with a sacrificial bow but then you will be missing out on damage. Another problem is that her scaling is not very good and even if you can build her as a dps, her scaling won't be as good as other dps characters. Finally, one of the biggest issues that Aloy has is that she does not have constellations. This means that she can only ever reach lvl 10 on her talents.

Aloy is a fun character to have in your party. Upon obtaining closer friendship with her, she will tell you stories from her own world. Along with herself, she also brought her stealth abilities from the other world, letting you sneak up on animals without startling them. With Aloy, you can eat well everyday.
