Strengths & Weakness Of Albedo

Strengths
- An excellent support & off-field Geo damager for Geo Teams. - Can buff the teams Elemental Mastery by 125 easily. - High damage without reactions.
Weakness
- His Geo Structure can be easily destroyed at boss fields making it situational. ↳ Cinnabar Spindle is currently the best weapon for him but if you were not able to get it, there's unfortunately no other weapon with a DEF sub-stat. - The lifting platform could disrupt the team combo & rotation, especially melee characters.

Albedo Best Build

Albedo Is Best Built As A Geo Sub-DPS Build

Weapon	Uraku Misugiri
Substitute	1. Cinnabar Spindle 2. Harbinger of Dawn 3. Festering Desire
Best Artifact	Husk Of Opulent Dreams x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: DEF% Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate/ CRIT DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. CRIT Rate 2. CRIT DMG 2. DEF%
Recommended Team

Albedo has a 100% up-time of his Elemental Skill and it gives huge damage with proper builds. Because of this, it is best to build Albedo as a Sub-DPS that deals damage off-field. He can be used on Crystalized teams and Mono-Geo Teams.

Albedo Best Weapon

Weapons For Geo Sub-DPS Albedo

	Weapon	Details
Best	Uraku Misugiri	CRIT DMG 88.2% (Lvl. 90) - Greatly increases CRIT DMG of characters. - Boost the damage of Skill and DEF of Albedo. - Albedo can maximize its effects doubling the Skill Buff.
2nd	Cinnabar Spindle	DEF 69% (Lvl. 90) - Greatly increases DEF% of characters. - Further increases Elemental Skill DMG depending on your DEF. - You need to build CRIT Rate and DMG.
3rd	Harbinger Of Dawn	CRIT DMG 46.9% (Lvl. 90) - Increases both CRIT DMG & CRIT Rate greatly especially at R5. - Low ATK does not affect the damage of Albedo.
4th	Festering Desire	Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - Increases Skill CRIT DMG and Skill CRIT Rate making it a decent option for Albedo.

Cinnabar Spindle Is The Best Weapon Choice

Because of the lack of a 5-star DEF-scaling sword or a weapon with sub-stats that benefit Albedo, the best weapon he can have right now is the Cinnabar Spindle. Unfortunately, it's an event-only weapon and if you didn't get it, there's no current way to get it right now.

Albedo Skill Guide & How To Use Albedo

Uses Of Albedo's Elemental Skill

Places An AoE That Will Deal Geo DMG Every 3 Seconds

Using Albedo's Skill will summon a Geo Construct with an AoE around it. When you damage an enemy while inside the field, it would cause a Geo Explosion, dealing Geo DMG to enemies in a small AOE.

Geo Damage Scales From Defense

The damage from Albedo's Skill scales from Albedo's DEF. The damage does Crit so building Crit Rate/DMG and DEF to increase the damage of Albedo's Skill.

Gathers Energy For The Team

Every explosion from this Elemental Skill will release Geo Energy making Albedo a great battery for Geo characters.

Uses Of Albedo's Elemental Burst

▲ Small Burst Cost Making It Spammable.

Elemental Burst Boosts Team Elemental Mastery

One of Albedo's best Ascension Passive is "Homuncular Nature", which increases the Elemental Mastery of the team by 125 after his Elemental Burst. This will increase the effect of all Elemental Reactions.

Creates Additional Geo Explosions When Casted Inside The Skill Area

If you use Albedo's Elemental Burst inside the area of the skill, flower explosions will appear in the field, dealing additional damage.

Should You Pull for Albedo's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Albedo's Early Constellations are His Best

Constellation Priority
C3 or C2 + C1

C3 and C2 are Good Stopping Points

Albedo is fully capable of performing his intended role at C0, making his constellations not a strict requirement to extract results from him on a team. If you want to upgrade his baseline, you could go all the way to C3 for more talent levels on his Skill, or get both C1 and C2, since both are more effective with the other. C1 gives Energy for every "Transient Blossom" created by his Skill, and C2 wants him to use Burst often for damage.

Constellations beyond C3 are not as impactful, and you're likely to get more value out of using your pulls for other characters instead of rolling for Albedo's C6. However, as a rule of thumb, if you really like the character, and if you have the means to do so, then it's fine to vertically invest as much as you can afford.

Recommendation if Primordial Jade Cutter is On the Banner
Primordial Jade Cutter > C3 or C2 + C1

Banner Weapon May Vary

Albedo was released with no true 5-star Signature Weapon, so the weapon banner whenever he reruns will usually feature a random 5-star sword. Historically, it was either Summit Shaper, Freedom-Sworn or Primordial Jade Cutter. The Primordial Jade Cutter is a universal Crit sword that can be used on a variety of characters, and is a viable choice to use your pulls on if you want to get a generalist weapon that is decent on Albedo.

Summit Shaper and Freedom-Sworn have a lot less use-cases and are therefore very niche. They will likely not be a convincing upgrade for Albedo over the alternatives, so you may allocate the pull funds elsewhere if they're on the weapon banner instead.
