5 reasons why Aloy failed as a Genshin Impact character despite the hype
Aloy is the only free five-star character (except the traveler, of course) in Genshin Impact. Naturally, players had sky-scraping expectations when miHoYo announced its first-ever crossover character.
The protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West arrived in the action RPG as a five-star Cryo bow user. Despite the hype, she did not impress the community as a five-star character should.
This article lists some of the significant reasons that hindered Aloy's popularity.
Even the four-star characters play an essential role in the Archon/Story quests. They also get Hangout event quests through which players get to learn more about their personalities.
In contrast, no story quests were added for Aloy, and she doesn't feature in any Archon quests as well. It is evident that she does not belong to Teyvat, which makes it hard for players to connect with her.
Constellations can buff any character and increase the level of their talents. With recent characters, Genshin Impact has been adding 'broken' constellations. For instance, Kazuha, Hu Tao, and Raiden Shogun get much stronger with their first constellation.
However, there is no way to currently unlock Aloy's constellation in Genshin Impact, which refrains from players building her.
We realize that Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West is a fascinating character with unique abilities, goals, and personality. Unfortunately, Aloy in Genshin Impact doesn't have an outstanding personality.
The likes of Yun Jin, Gorou, and Itto have been rewarded with several distinctive features, but Aloy's personality is quite bland. Her character teaser only describes her as a guest, and it seems like she was forcibly added to the game.
