Here's a guide to building Albedo, the Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, in "Genshin Impact." Albedo excels as a Geo support or sub-DPS character with abilities that provide consistent Geo damage and support through his Elemental Skill and Burst.
Suggested Weapons
•Festering Desire (If available): This event-exclusive sword increases Elemental Skill DMG and CRIT Rate, which is perfect for Albedo's kit.
•Harbinger of Dawn: A 3-star weapon that's surprisingly effective for Albedo due to its high CRIT DMG and its passive which increases CRIT Rate when HP is above 90%.
•Cinnabar Spindle: Specifically made for Albedo, it increases Elemental Skill DMG based on DEF, which suits his scaling.
•Primordial Jade Cutter: Offers high base ATK and CRIT Rate, beneficial for increasing his overall damage output, though it's more general-purpose.
•Freedom-Sworn: If you're looking for a support role where Albedo can also contribute to team buffs via its passive that increases DMG and provides an ATK buff when triggering Elemental Reactions.
Best Artifact Sets for Albedo
•Archaic Petra (2-piece) + Defender's Will (2-piece) or Noblesse Oblige (2-piece): Archaic Petra: 2-piece gives +15% Geo DMG Bonus.
•Defender's Will: 2-piece increases DEF by 30%, which can benefit Albedo's skill damage scaling off DEF.
•Noblesse Oblige: 2-piece gives +20% Elemental Burst DMG, useful if you use his burst often.
•4-piece Archaic Petra: If you're focusing on Geo teams where you can consistently pick up the Geo crystal created by his Elemental Skill to get the full set bonus, which increases DMG of the element of the crystal by 35%.
Artifact Stats Priority
•Sands: DEF% or Energy Recharge (if you need his burst up more often)
•Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus
•Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, depending on what you need to balance out his CRIT stats.
Sub-stats to look for
•DEF% (to increase the damage of his Elemental Skill)
•CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG
•Energy Recharge (for more frequent bursts)
•ATK% (less priority but still useful)
Talent Prioritization
•Elemental Skill: Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma - This is where most of Albedo's utility and damage comes from. It provides consistent Geo damage and can produce Transient Blossoms that deal AoE Geo DMG based on Albedo's DEF.
•Elemental Burst: Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide - While not as critical as his skill, it provides a nice burst of Geo damage and can be useful in fights where you need immediate AoE Geo damage.
•Normal Attack: Not a priority for Albedo in most builds since he's usually not the main DPS.
Team Composition
•Geo Resonance: Pairing Albedo with another Geo character like Zhongli or Ningguang for increased Geo DMG and shield strength.
•Reaction Teams: He works well in teams that can take advantage of crystallize reactions for shields or require Geo constructs for exploration or combat positioning.
Playstyle Tips
•Place Albedo's Solar Isotoma where enemies will stay for a while to maximize the Transient Blossom procs.
•Use his Elemental Burst when you need a quick burst of Geo damage or when his Solar Isotoma isn't enough to handle incoming threats.
Remember, Albedo's strength lies in his ability to provide off-field Geo damage and support, making him versatile in various team compositions. Adjust his build based on whether you need more damage or better support capabilities in your team setup.
