Genshin Impact: How to unlock Aloy as a playable character

The Nora Huntress makes her way to the land of Teyvat.

Genshin Impact continues to expand, with new characters, quests, locations and more added on a fairly regular basis. While it's not the biggest update yet, Genshin Impact Update 2.1 is on the way, providing one of the most unique character additions yet in the form of a crossover event. For a while, players on PS4 and PS5 will be able to acquire Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

If you're worried you might miss out on nabbing Aloy in one of the best PS5 games available, don't fret, as we've got you covered. Here's how to unlock Aloy as a playable character.

Genshin Impact How to unlock Aloy as a playable character

Unlocking Aloy is a very simple process. To start, she's only available right now for players on PlayStation consoles, though she's coming to mobile devices at a later date. Players will need to already be or achieve Adventure Rank 20 during Update 2.1 and the upcoming Update 2.2. When that rank is achieved, you'll receive Aloy via Genshin Impact's in-game mail system. It's that easy! With the addition of Aloy, the list of characters in Genshin Impact reaches 41 unique playable characters.

Genshin Impact Aloy's skills, talents and abilities

Aloy is a five-star character deemed the "Savior From Another World." She wields her Predator Bow with Cryo abilities that reflect her archery skills from her own games.

  • Prophecies of Dawn: Aloy's Elemental Burst. She throws a Cryo Power Cell and hits it with an arrow, dealing AoE Cryo damage.
  • Frozen Wilds: Aloy's Elemental Skill. Buffs Aloy and allies, debuffs enemies and deals Cryo damage by scattering into Chillwater Droplets. If a Freeze Bomb or Chillwater Droplet hits an enemy, they are debuffed and Aloy gains a Coil Stack, increasing her damage.
  • Combat Override: Aloy Talent. Allows the whole party to benefit from increased damage via Coil Stacks.
  • Rushing Ice: An effect Aloy gains upon getting four Coil Stacks. Converts Normal Attack damage into Cryo damage
  • Strong Strike: Aloy Passive Talent. Constantly increases her Cryo damage bonus.

Aloy's attack is also increased by 66 when using her Predator Bow. This bow also grants Aloy increased Normal and Charged attack damage by 10% for 6 seconds whenever she inflicts Cryo damage. For a look at some of these abilities in action, you can check out the character demo for Aloy below:

Outside of Genshin Impact and the world of Teyvat, Aloy's next mainline adventure is coming in the form of Horizon Forbidden West. While it was originally scheduled to launch at some point in the Holiday 2021 range, it's been slightly delated due to needing further polish during the ongoing pandemic. It's currently slated for a Feb. 18, 2022 release date on PS4 and PS5.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
