Aloy vs Eula

Niche elemental utility vs. the queen of physical nukes

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Aloy if…

  • When you need quick Cryo application without committing to field time
  • In teams that just need a cheap 40-cost burst for i-frames
  • If you need to hunt animals for meat without startling them

Pick Eula if…

  • When you want to see the highest possible damage numbers in the game
  • To brute-force through enemies with high elemental resistances
  • If you enjoy the rhythm of building stacks for a massive explosion
Verdict

Aloy and Eula serve completely different roles, but Eula is a true centerpiece character while Aloy is a footnote. Eula's massive Physical scaling makes her a viable carry in ways Aloy can never achieve.

With Aloy

Raiden acts as a battery for Aloy's high-cost Burst while providing the Superconduct reaction to shred enemy Physical RES. This is particularly useful if Aloy is being used in a hybrid or Physical-leaning setup alongside her Cryo infusions.

With Eula

Raiden is a vital partner for Eula, providing the near-permanent Electro application required for Superconduct to shred Physical RES. Her Burst also recharges Eula's massive energy requirement while providing a DMG buff to Eula's Lightfall Sword via her Skill.
