How to get the Alley Hunter in Genshin Impact – Destructoid
Thanks to its high overall ATK, the Alley Hunter can be considered one of the most adaptable 4-star bows in Genshin Impact.
But how can you get the weapon? And once you do so, which characters can put it to the best use? Here’s how to get the Alley Hunter in Genshin Impact and the best characters for it.
How to Get the Alley Hunter in Genshin Impact
The only way to get the Alley Hunter in Genshin Impact is by pulling for it while it’s featured as part of the game’s Epitome Invocation banner. You might have to wait a while to get the chance to do it, though, as since its debut in 2021, the bow has been featured as part of the banner’s 4-star selection a total of seven times, with the latest one being on version 4.5.
Who Should You Give the Alley Hunter to in Genshin Impact?
Ororon is by far the best pick for the Alley Hunter in Genshin Impact, as the weapon’s ATK and off-the-field damage boost will massively enhance his Hypersence Effect damage. The bow is also considered to be his best non-5-star pick. Fischl can also use the weapon well if in the off-the-field Sub DPS role, while the bow’s above-average attack can make it a good but niche pick for Lyney, whose kit revolves around the stat.
Although she will gain way more by using an Energy Recharge weapon, such as the jack-of-all-trades Favonius Warbow, using the Alley Hunter with Farusan can also work, as it will significantly boost the Anemo DMG Bonus offered by The Wind’s Secret Ways.
The Best 4-star Alternatives for Ororon
Taking into account how the weapon is not available at the moment and pulling in a limited banner for a 4-star is not recommended, all Ororon mains who don’t have access to a 5-star alternative —such as the Polar Star, The First Great Magic, and Thundering Pulse— will need to adapt. To help you do that, here are the best 4-star alternatives for the Alley Hunter if you are using Ororon:
- Song of Stillness (Best F2P pick at R5): It’s easy to proc DMG buff and ATK% substat will allow Ororon to deal as much damage as possible with his Skill and Burst.
- The Stringless (R3+): Will offer a welcome boost in ER (thus boosting Ororon’s Burst availability) while also offering a huge boost in Burst and Skill DMG. The complete package for all off-the-field DPSs.
- Chain Breaker: Will offer the same amount of attack as the Alley Hunter, paired with a good but situational boost.
- Range Gauge: Will match the Alley Hunter’s overall attack value and offer a good amount of ATK and DMG through its situational passive.
