Aloy vs Rosaria

The ranged bomb-thrower vs. the crit-buffing polearm nun

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Aloy if…

  • When you need a ranged Cryo unit for specific puzzles
  • If you prefer bow gameplay and don't own Diona or Ganyu
  • For her low-cost elemental burst spam

Pick Rosaria if…

  • To boost the Crit Rate of your entire team
  • As a powerful off-field Cryo applicator for Melt or Freeze
  • In Physical teams to shred Resistance (at C6)
Verdict

Rosaria is a vastly superior unit due to her crit-sharing passive and consistent off-field damage. Aloy’s inability to gain constellations leaves her far behind even a C0 Rosaria in utility.

BennettBennett

With Aloy

Bennett's ATK buff is crucial for Aloy, as it compensates for her low base ATK and enhances the damage of her Chillwater Bomblets. He also provides the Pyro Resonance and healing necessary to keep Aloy safe while she maneuvers to stack her Coil effect.

With Rosaria

Bennett provides Rosaria with the Pyro application needed to Melt her Burst's periodic hits, significantly increasing her total damage output. His ATK buff and healing make him a staple in Rosaria's reverse-melt compositions.
