Best builds for Aloy
Download Build CardBURST SUPPORT Build
Weapons
CRIT DMG
High base ATK and CRIT DMG substat; passive ATK% benefits burst even if normal attack bonus is wasted.
CRIT Rate
Provides ATK% and directly boosts Skill and Burst damage through stacks.
CRIT Rate
High CRIT Rate and extra crit damage out; passive adds some physical but still solid for burst.
Elemental Mastery
Increases Skill and Burst damage by 24-48%, excellent for burst support.
ATK%
Very high base ATK; passive is wasted on burst, but raw stats still contribute to damage.
ATK%
While off-field, increases her damage by up to 40%, ideal for a quick-swap burst role.
ATK%
Craftable; hitting weak points grants ATK%, useful if you can consistently aim.
ATK%
Free weapon with ATK% substat; passive is specific to Aloy but not impactful for burst.
Energy Recharge
Provides Energy Recharge; skill reset is rarely needed but helps with energy generation.
CRIT Rate
3-star with high CRIT Rate; only use as a stat stick if no other bows available.
Artifacts
2pc boosts <element cryo>Cryo</element> damage; 4pc grants up to 40% CRIT Rate on frozen enemies, perfect for Freeze teams.
4pc boosts Burst damage by 20% and provides 20% ATK to the whole team after casting burst.
4pc converts Energy Recharge into burst damage, fitting for maintaining uptime.
4pc boosts Burst damage by 20% and provides 20% ATK to the whole team after casting burst.
4pc boosts Burst damage by 20% and provides 20% ATK to the whole team after casting burst.
Experimental; 4pc can buff team after triggering reactions, but Aloy's slow Cryo application limits consistency.

Recommended Primary Stats
Aloy excels as Burst Support; getting 4 coil stacks for Cryo infusion from Skill is unreliable (0.1s per stack, scattered bomblets). Stacks can be gained off-field.
Works best on Freeze teams as battery (5 Cryo particles) and nuke, or on Reverse Melt teams to Melt her Burst for decent damage. She remains replaceable.
Weapon: Polar Star stacking not worth extra time. The Stringless (higher refinements) pulls ahead of Thundering Pulse on Reverse Melt. Prototype Crescent with weak point shot matches Skyward Harp. Sacrificial Bow for Cryo battery.
Artifacts: Blizzard Strayer (4) for Freeze provides high CRIT Rate. +80 EM set (2) only benefits Melt (Elemental Mastery useless on Freeze). Noblesse Oblige (4) ideal due to low Burst cooldown and energy needs.
Main stats: Elemental Mastery only for Reverse Melt; otherwise prioritize ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG.
