This build is perfect for Spiral Abyss since you can recharge energy really fast for Elemental Reactions to surpass Spiral Abyss’ floors successfully.

This build excels in:

  • For Aloy, this set will increase Elemental Reactions and her attacks, so she’s a perfect DPS with this one and a perfect support.
  • If you want to use this set, keep in mind that you’ll need characters such as Xingqiu or Xiangling in your team. These characters will help Aloy to deal more Cryo DMG through Elemental Reactions such as Frozen or Melt.
  • Since this set just increases Elemental Reactions’ DMG, you can’t really deal DMG with normal attacks. So, we recommend focusing on those reactions more than attacking with normal attacks.
  • Since this set is focused on reactions, it’s perfect for big bosses or Abyss. In these places, elemental reactions are very important because they’re what deal more DMG!

  • 4- star option: Favonius Warbow has ER as substat and CRIT hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.
