Genshin Impact Aloy skills

In the trailer, Aloy shows off her Elemental skill as she throws a Freeze Bomb, confirming that she is a Cryo Bow user. As a normal attack, Aloy can shoot up to four consecutive arrows from her bow. As a charged attack, she can aim with a precise shot which deals more damage. When she uses her plunging attack, she can fire several arrows when in mid-air before touching the ground with an increased area of impact. However, more details about the character skills will be available with the launch. There has not been one Genshin Impact Aloy gameplay video but many on the internet. In the videos, she can be seen using her bow against Hilichurls. The official teaser also reveals more about her looks and outfit. 

Along with Genshin Impact 2.1, players will get to fight three new bosses. The first is Signora who will be able to disguise in multiple forms, using both Cryo and Pyro. The second boss is Electro Oceanid and the third is Hydro Hypostasis. All the new bosses will be available for boss fights in the upcoming update of Genshin Impact.
