When will Aloy arrive in Genshin Impact?

Genshin Impact was recently released on PlayStation 5, and it seems like miHoYo is leaving no opportunity to make a name for itself in the PlayStation community.

Interestingly, PlayStation users will receive a free Aloy unit via mail on September1 with the 2.1 patch. Players on other platforms such as PC and mobile shall get the same in October with the 2.2 patch.

Considering that Horizon Zero Dawn was one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives ever, it comes as no surprise that the platform's patrons are being offered Aloy first.

Aloy's Elemental Skill, Burst and Passive talents

Aloy will be a Cryo bow-user in Genshin Impact. Her normal attacks naturally resemble other bow users such as Yoimiya, Fischl and Ganyu.

Aloy's Elemental Skill, on the flip side, is certainly unique. She throws a Freeze bomb that explodes into Chillwater Bomblets. All these bombs deal Cryo DMG and decrease the opponent's ATK.

Moreover, Aloy gains a Coil Stack when her bombs hit the opponent. Getting four Coil Stacks initates the Rushing Ice stage. This increases Aloy's normal attack DMG and also converts it into Cryo DMG.

To compensate for a relatively complex Elemental Skill, miHoYo has given a very simple Elemental Burst to Aloy. It only deals Cryo DMG in an area with an Energy Cost of 40.

Aloy's passive talents increase her Cryo DMG during the Rushing Ice state and increase the party's ATK by 8% during the Coil buff. Lastly, animals that drop Fowl, Raw meat, or chilled meat do not run away when she is in a party.
