Some people have had a little more trouble getting furina to trigger aloy's cryo infusion, and we're a little unsure as to why this might be since there are so many things affecting it and it's impossible to tell what the the difference in other people's set up is. It's possible ping plays a huge role for example. I did struggle to get it to trigger in the abyss against PMA, for anyone wondering. In general, for me the success rate of getting the first 3 triggers within a couple of seconds of using her skill has been over 90% regardless of the other 2 members of the team, but your mileage may wary! 💜

It's not that hard to proc, Kazuha is a good partner and permanent partner for Aloy. Jean is also a solution it's actually fun to learn how to quickshot the bombs with Jean skill. Learning also how to lure enemies towards the bombs is also a really good tactic I've learned from play ing with her for so long

After testing, my current theory is that the Furina's summons might just affect the trajectory of the chillwater bomblets only at the time of impact when Aloy throws her skill. It seems like the bomb distribution is tighter if the summons are also closer. And if a summon is able to delay that contact by staggering the timing of bomb contacts, that might be just enough to get past her coil stacking cooldown....but that's just a theory. A genshin theory.

But she needs constellations

“Let’s discuss who she is and why I care” is me every time I talk about Aloy lol

Around the time when Kirara was released, the game received an update where HoYo fixed the bombs for Klee, Kirara and Aloy, but didn't specify what exactly they changed. It can be assumed that they made the bombs to explode more easily. Maybe that's what made Aloy gain her stacks a lot easier than before. When I tried Aloy after a very long time of not touching her I noticed that it's a lot easier to gain her infusion. Haven't tried her with Furina, but after this video I definitely will! I got interested in Aloy again because I've got Thundering Pulse but didn't get Yoimiya, and Aloy is the only character besides physical Fischl and Childe (who I don't have) who can utilize its passive. She's far from being the strongest character, but still quite fun to play!

Do that's what happened recently! I remember levelling her up and playing her even before I got Ganyu in 2.3 and then abandoning her, benching. Until recently, a few friends and I were doing the bosses on a randomised challenge (we often do 10 bosses for the BP that way, it's definitely more fun than just doing 10 bosses on your own) where we co-op and randomise a list of 10 bosses and for each boss everyone randomizes a character, you also can't have the same character more than once. So, this time, I got Aloy for PMA and I noticed I was instantly getting the infusion. I thought it was something about the boss but likely it's due to these fixes

My immediate thought when you’ve said that Furina fixed Aloy was, actually, running atk% goblet on Aloy as Furina provides a lot of all dmg%, so you can get decent numbers no matter how much stacks you’ve gained. Surprisingly, you’ve found something way more interesting.

I’m an Amber main, and when Aloy first came out, I ran her with Amber, Kazuha and Kokomi. It’s a really fun freeze/melt team, since Kazuha Carrie’s Amber and Ally’s bombs with his skill.

Originally I got all mooshy about the way Aloy has essentially brought some of the BESt people into my life but we had to cut the script a little since it was rather long 😎💜 I was so unbelievably excited about this discovery that even though I did hours and hours of experiement, I'm hoping there's still some new trick to make things work even better!! Also here's to hoping future character will be the missing pieces 🥰

i half expected they would tie her constellations to in-game progression in forbidden west. like after beating a chapter you find one of six mysterious codes that you plug in to the genshin code redeem thing. all i would want from constellations is removing the ICD on her coil stacks and when she uses her burst she instantly enters/extends the rushing ice state. I'm gonna write them out like I'm a dev cuz it's fun: C1: Aloy gains a second charge to her elemental skill. C2: The 0.1s cooldown on Aloy's bombs' coil stack gain is reduced to 0s. Additionally, using Aloy's elemental burst puts her in the rushing ice state immediately. If used when already in the rushing ice state, its cooldown is reset. C3: The level of Aloy's normal attacks is increased by 3. C4: When Aloy attacks a frozen enemy or freezes an enemy, she generates one cryo particle. This effect has a cooldown of 5 seconds. C5: The level of Aloy's elemental burst is increased by 3. C6: Using Aloy's elemental skill immediately puts her in the rushing ice state and resets its cooldown. Additionally, when Aloy hits frozen enemies or enemies affected by cryo with her normal attacks, she gains 15% attack speed and 100% crit damage for 10s. This effect can not stack.

A bit of exclusiveness, but given how freeze doesn't work on bosses, a constellation applying a slow that counted as freeze for checks could've been neat(it would be done on her burst, letting her use it herself if she'd want to, but also a side-grade to Shenhe on Cryo teams, the debuffing ability being reminiscent of Horizon's status, brittle in this case) And mostly unrealistic, C6 giving her the ability to change the damage type of the burst or apply Purgewater as well(the first determined by slot she was in the party and the second a debuff that would prevent enemies from applying status to your characters, but still deal the damage)

Considering Aloy has less than a 1% playrate anyways, needing Furina on the team isn't bad. Aloy doesn't have constellations, and Furina can be used in other teams, so I'd say it's a worthy investment

Always nice to see a video uplifting under-appreciated characters. Glad you've experienced the joy of finding a team they feel valuable in, like I have. I prefer using Aloy in a Freeze team with Rosaria/Shenhe, Jean, and Furina. Jean in particular is godsend here because, on top of being able to double Swirl Hydro and Cryo with ease and keep the the team healthy, her held skill allows me to slowly and carefully maneuver Aloy's bomblets so that only one goes of at a time, making max Coils stack generation much more consistent.

Funnily enough I hadn't thoguht to try jean with furina prior to uploading, but it's the perfect combo because: furina triggers a very quick 2-3 stack (usually 3 but well, it's not 100% guaranteed), and jean can help trigger the 1-2 remaining precisely as you said! Since Jean can also heal furina's HP drain thus help buff, that leaves space for shenhe! 😁

Hope it works for you too!

Since Dehya is now on the standard banner which makes 2 Pyro characters in that Banner. It now gives the possibility of multiple characters of the same element in the standard banner (I hope). With that logic in mind, Hoyo should just put her in the standard banner so that we can see what Aloy's true potential is through her constellation since there is no other way to get them as of today.

Ok having only just started this video I'll first say this: We Aloy Mains have been having a grand ole time with Aloy before Furina. Now among the vocal Aloy Mains you'd think the most popular playstyle would be Melt teams with her, but it seems like according to the game's recommended Artifacts, it was Freeze teams. So my personal favourite Freeze Aloy (dubbed Freezeloy, possibly by me actually) is Aloy, Shenhe, Kaz and Yelan. It's a team where Aloy does a lot of damage during her Ice Rush duration, and if you're using Thundering Pulse, Aloy can be played as an Energy Funnel for Shenhe as well. And then Kaz can double swirl Cryo and Hydro so there's a lot of damage going around. We're talking 20-40k normal attacks during Ice Rush which is pretty nice. What FURINA brings to the table is the fact you can run Marechausee on Aloy. Which means you can play a Freeze team that still does all the Crits against Bosses. Now granted this is a team where you'll need a healer (I haven't yet figured out the playstyle for a healer less Shenhe Kaz variant), but with Mika and Song of Days Past, at least I have had great success so far and it's very smooth to play. "But Aloy does noth-" in a 25s rotation (coz I play loose rotations, tight rotations are for speed runners) Aloy is doing damage for 10-12s, but still manages to do 40% of the team's total rotation damage (Furina does 53% but she's always doing damage) so is that Nothing? I'd say you'd have to be a real hater to claim nothing is happening. Anyway sorry that's my rant. 😅

9:44 Sadly, that doesn't work. The easiest way to test this is to stand at a cooking pot like in Inazuma City (Furina's pets constantly target the cooking pot). Now when you use the Elemental Skill with Aloy, one, sometimes two bomblets are usually triggered when they touch the cooking pot after the initial hit, as it has its own hitbox. The rest stay put and Furina's summons can hit the bomblets as often as they want, nothing will happen. Very large enemies (such as the Ruin Enemies) have very large hitboxes and even small movements or animations can trigger the bomblets. In the artifact domain you show it is therefore very easy to generate all 4 coil stacks.

We're not saying that the summons will target the bombs, but that *something* is triggering them, and that it's been happening even when the enemies are permafrozen - the only thing moving is the summons. Since they definitely don't target the bombs directly, the only thing we could think of was that maybe their attacks have a small AoE, which could then trigger the bombs if they're close enough? Not sure how to test that either way though. It could absolutely be just sample bias, and that we'd gotten unlucky when testing with e.g. Kokomi in place of Furina, but if that's the case then it's super odd that it's been so consistent for us on two separate accounts!

yep noticed that too and you can also clearly see in the video that aloy only accidentally triggers the 4 coil stacks against the two lawachurls during the abyss showcase. 🙁

@@TianSongun It's always happened at random - for example 7:22 it doesn't even hit the enemy properly and jumps straight to 4 stacks - it's more a question of consistency. Which does make it susceptible to luck and sample size... it's been *really* consistent for both of us though.

@@raptori Ruin Cruiser, Ruin Grader etc. can trigger the bombs with their Aoe. In the clip at 9:42, if you pay attention, you can see that a Ruin Cruiser hits Aloy with its AoE during her burst animation. Since her bomblets are in the AoE raidus at this time, they got triggered. The reason why the runs with Kokomi resulted in less triggering is probably because Kokomi has a significantly larger hydro application radius and therefore freezes not just one or two, but all enemies. This means that none of the opponents can move or attack anymore. However, that is just a guess.

@@viewsloo581 Ooh yeah that could be it - and since Aloy's burst has such a big radius they'd definitely have cryo applied too 🤔

omfg finally an Aloy enjoyer aaaaa, im so happy to find a new interesting set for my Aloy, im trying to give her a decent team for so long! thank you so much for this video and info

Insane. Great video!

Tysm for this video!!

I did'nt even have Aloy and I'm also Not interested in her, but fund myself watching the whole video.. Your way of telling a story and giving a introduction into the video is really unique! You are underrated. Thank you for your work and effort!

oooh this is cool, i will try it! i think aloy in genshin is so cute and fun, and i hate that she got so much hate! btw feel you, i also didn't try genshin for the longest time, for me the reason was that no one told me that it is single player xD but just like you when i finally started, i fell in love instantly. and i was just in time for aloy as she was given out just one month later!

i got aloy when i was low AR and a long way from inazuma (and i didn't have your dedication lol), and while i was always planning to lvel her when i got to inazuma, sadly she's been sitting unused as over time i got other characters that made more sense to level first. which was a shame as i think i'd have really enjoyed using her early game when i didn't have as many characters. while i don't need to level her now, i'd quite like to simply to have fun with her in the overworld. and as i'm saving for furina rerun it's great to have extra motivation to build her :D I love your videos as always..! and I really enjoy getting inspiration for different teams to try out :)

Thank you so much! 🥰

Great video! Regarding Furina triggering Aloys bombs, did you check if the summons walking into the bombs triggers them instead of the attacks? I do not have Aloy to test this, but I checked with Kirara and neither the summons walking into them nor their attacks trigger her bombs, so either Aloys bombs work differently, or it is simply the summons pushing the bombs into enemies that increases the consistency. My current guess is that it is just them pushing the bombs, as I see that with Kirara, though the hitboxes are a bit odd (in my brief testing I never saw the crab push them, for example)

OMG WAIT HER SKILL IS ALMOST THE SAME AS CHEVREUSE DID THEY JUST CHANGE THE ANIMATION AND TEXTURE?? 😭😭

Mad props to you for finding a use for your Aloy! The team does look fun.

You can try Bennett on a superhealer build (4pc Maiden ER/HP/Healing) when played with Furina. You still need to do some extra micromanagement to spread out the healing ticks, but they become large enough that they can instantly fill up a character and/or trigger overflow to team.

Glad to see that we sorta got some "fixes" for Aloy. Thanks for sharing~

thank u for talking about aloy, i been meaning wantin to build her since i hav extra blizz set bt alot of my friends told me to give up, save the resources to some1 else i think i might give this team a try

Your video was a godsend. As a healer enjoyer, I have Fuina and I tested on Masanori since your combo didn't cross my mind. First of, enemy attacks with weapons can Aloy's bombs just bounce away intact, like Masanori/Samurai's wide sword swing charge. That could be an issue, yet Eremites with pets just double the enemy hitbox. That said, the bombs seem to explode when Gentilhomme Usher (Octopus) & Mademoiselle Crabaletta attack, because they have the aoe attack and that triggers the bombs. I tried to look if that works in combo with something, but no changes there: neither dendro cores nor Sayu's Mujina Flurry work, so Furinas Minions don't enable other mechanics, they alone just seem to activate them. So, thank you! I used an full set Echoes of an Offering and the bow Song of Stillness, since that works on- and offield with Baizhu.

you get one subscribe because of this video. great job!

I'm so happy about that. I love the Horizon franchise and I wish Aloy was better in Genshin. But with Furina it becomes possible for Aloy to cross the abyss. It's a shame I only started playing recently and I don't have her😢

Ty for this video and since i have a lvl 90 aloy, I'll give her a try soon by God's will .. my only problem with her was her skill targeting was SOOO OFF sometimes

Ayo this is amazing thanks

This video is the kind of thing i LOVE from the genshin community. The way you talk and think about aloy is really how i feel about qiqi. She was one of my first 5 stars and i was determined to make her a dps despite her being one of the most overhated characters, like aloy. Just like you, i found myself with a wonderfully viable qiqi, even with qiqi’s kit’s various flaws. This video is amazing, really resonated with me, and was so clear and enjoyable, all in all, amazing content 🩵

I only started playing Genshin towards the end of 2022, so I missed Aloy. But looking at her design and origin I feel like it would have been better both lore wise and skill wise if she came out later and her element was Dendro. I think it fits her better based on what little I know about her (haven’t played horizon). That and dendritic is just broken I think any character with a bad kit who isn’t dendritic would be massively improved and buffed just be being dendro.

Possible - if I remember correctly she has some poison arrows available in the game, though the most commonly used ones were fire, ice, and electricity... Honestly they could've given her any element and it'd have worked, but I did always feel like electro would've been more appropriate, but would have been noticeably worse than she is already. Hopefully they'll get around to doing a full crossover event someday, and everyone who doesn't have her can get her!

@saurusness

I agree! It was hoenstly always a bit weird that they chose to make her cryo, since even thoguh she can shoot cryo arrows, those are by no means her signature! In the game there are fire, electro, ice, and poison (dendro? 👀) arrows, as well as ones that explode in various ways, so I would've thought the more logical choice for element would have been pyro, OR she should have been a fully physical unit where the cryo is just there to help her super conduct!

Damn I'm sorry about that 😔 I really wish they'd make her re-redeemable somehow..

Recently I tried this combo in the new vibro-crystal event (though i replaced Xiangling with Bennet because of their levels). Something I noticed is that if you swap Aloy while she is in her cryo infusion state, she won't lose the infusion unlike other characters like Hu-tao. This is a great qol that will allow her to do quick emergency rotations. It was quite helpful during the event.

Oh yes that's true!

I was playing my Aloy again recently to do shenanigans in co-op lol. This is great

I love Aloy so much, your video single-handedly pushed me to install Genshin again

Finally Aloy getting some teams Great video

9:40 After further testing, it is not Furina that triggers Aloy's bombs. The true culprit was Dendro Cores generated through bloom reaction. With this in mind, there's finally a reliable way to force her grenades to explode at separate intervals. This is not only limited to Aloy, kirara's Burst also behave the same way as Aloy's bombs. I'm not sure whether the same thing happens with Klee or not as I don't have her on my account, but Dendro Cores *should* be able to trigger them as well! UPDATE: There's more to it than just bloom, needs more testing.

they really should add a dungeon/ instance to farm for matts/constellation/ for her and when you get that stuff then it turns into another artifact instance for cryo users.

Aside from your videos being adorable in style, I LOVE ALOY TOO!! I spent all my time since her release thinking of ways to change her and my changes were a bit more radical than yours, but after watching this video I have hope in Aloy persevering through her horrible crossover and the people who did nothing to show support and make the collaboration just. I still have a part of me that thinks Hoyoverse will re-discuss their negotiations with Guerilla and PlayStation and redo the Aloy crossover event with a new and improved kit and constellations so that she can be the Solid 5 star all genshin players deserved.

Hey, I have to try that. I been meaning to try Aloy in some new teams again. Been a while. First I tried sacraficial bow as well thinking two throws would be nice. It only helped if I got a bad throw on the first. If you throw the second, your previous bombs disappear. How annoying. I combined her with Jean though and that was fun. When Jean is holding an enemy, she pulled the bombs in at the right rate to trigger the infusion. Also, I can collect up the bombs and launch them all at once at an enemy like a mortar. Now that I have Klee, I plan on trying a team with Jean, Aloy, and Klee. With pyro and cryo bombs all over the field, melt reactions should be no problem. Got to get Qiqi up to snuff for a healer though. Do not want my healer applying hydro and messing with the melt reaction.

The butt zoom was iconic (and quite accurate for a vast majority of the community)

Nicely done theory crafting, congrats!

I remember how excited about the potential of her kit and the future of crossovers I was, I was underwhelmed on both fronts... Cons could salvage anything if they're OP enough, I wouldn't mind waiting, though. If it turns out she has more interactions down the line, they can take those into account when rebalancing her with cons and give her a good niche. I get gacha games want release-hype, but I kinda like releasing stuff on the weaker side to let it settle into the meta before touching it up, you can end up with great balance without ever having nerfs invalidate previous investment. I think none of this is on miHoYo's mind (Besides some passionate employees), but it's still fun to think about. If they ever release anything as warping as Dendro again (Maybe not as crazy of a system but more stuff there for it to interact with), it makes the decision of when to rebalance what so much weirder. It kinda reminds me of the dilemma regarding things like space missions, start now, or wait until the process becomes faster? It can be kinda paralyzing.

I have Aloy in my Kazuha DPS team, where she's more of a seatwarmer than anything, She does good damage sometimes, but thats about it. Will def check out this team
