Okay, so, today I wanna talk about this bow called “Alley Hunter” in Genshin Impact. I’ve been messing around with it, and let me tell you, it’s a pretty cool weapon. Let’s dive in.
Getting My Hands on the Alley Hunter
First things first, how did I even get this bow? Well, it’s not something you just find lying around. This is a 4-star weapon, so it’s a bit rare. I had to go through the game’s gacha system, basically using “Wishes” and hoping for the best. It wasn’t easy, and honestly, it took me a while. It was only available for a limited time, you know, during that Epitome Invocation banner thingy. I was so excited when I finally pulled it.

- Used a bunch of Wishes in the gacha system.
- Waited for the Epitome Invocation banner.
- Finally got lucky and pulled the Alley Hunter.
Checking Out the Alley Hunter
So, once I had it, I started checking out what this bow is all about. It’s a four-star bow. It’s got a pretty slick design, all black and looking fancy. I looked up some guides and found out it’s part of this “Alley Series” that came out in patch 1.4 of the game. Pretty neat!
- It’s a 4-star bow, part of the Alley Series.
- Got a cool, black design.
- Learned about its release in patch 1.4.
Using the Alley Hunter in Battle
Now, the fun part – using it in the game. I equipped it on one of my characters, and I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome for characters who don’t spend all their time on the field. This bow works best when your character is kind of a sub-DPS, you know, someone who pops in, does their thing, and then goes back to the sidelines. The bow’s passive ability is all about that. Also, I found out that it’s really good for characters whose abilities scale with their Base ATK.
- Equipped it on one of my characters.
- It’s great for off-field sub-DPS characters.
- The passive ability boosts damage when the character is off-field.
- It’s good for characters that need high Base ATK.
Upgrading the Alley Hunter
Of course, I didn’t just stop there. I wanted to make it even stronger, so I started upgrading it. This part was a bit of a grind, collecting all those ascension materials. But it was worth it. Seeing those stats go up, especially the ATK, was super satisfying. It went from okay to really powerful, and my characters were doing way more damage.
- Started the upgrading process.

Final Thoughts
All in all, getting and using the Alley Hunter has been a blast. It’s not just a weapon, it’s like a whole adventure in the game. From the excitement of pulling it in the gacha, to seeing it in action, and then making it even stronger, it’s been a really cool experience. If you’re into Genshin Impact and like using bow characters, especially those who are more off-field, I’d say give the Alley Hunter a shot if you can. It’s a solid choice, and it definitely makes the game even more fun.
