How To Use Albedo ?

Recommended Rotation For Albedo

Uses Of Albedo's Elemental Skill

Place A Field That Will Provide Additional Geo DMG Every 3 Seconds

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

Flower Explosion Scales From Defense

The flower that explodes inside the barrier scales from defense so to raise the power of the flower, you must Build Albedo's Defense, and CRIT stats.

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 Bust Cost Making It Spammable.

Elemental Burst Boost Elemental Mastery Of The Team

One of the best Ascension Passive of Albedo is "Homuncular Nature" which increases the Elemental Mastery of the team by 125 after Elemental Burst is cast enabling more powerful reactions.

Has Additional Flowers When Casted Inside The Skill Area

If you casted the Elemental Burst of Albedo inside the area of the skill, Defense scaling flower explosions will appear in the field dealing additional damage.

Strengths Of Albedo

100 Percent Up-Time Of Elemental Skill

The flower that Albedo summons does not only last for a long time, but it also has a very short cooldown. Meaning it will always be on the field.

Elemental Burst Has Small Cost

The Elemental Burst of Albedo only needs 40 Energy to be casted making it easy to spam towards the enemies. This can also provide consistent Elemental Mastery buff to the team.

Weaknesses Of Albedo

The Flower (Elemental Skill) Destroys Easily

One unfortunate aspect of Albedo's skill is that the flower is very fragile. Many bosses are able to destroy it in one swoop and some locations does not allow the placement of the flower.

Split Scaling From ATK and DEF

At C0, Albedo's Skill DMG scales from Defense while the Elemental Burst scale from ATK. This is a problem because you can only raise one of them for it to deal significant damage. However, this issue is solved by obtaining the Constellation 2 of Albedo.

Voicelines About Albedo

Voicelines About Albedo
Venti	How do you explain white chalk in black soil, or the earth's dense crust amidst the emptiness of space? Same reason the purest soil gave birth to human life... It's an ancient power with unmistakable properties. Trying to harness it is dangerous indeed, I can't imagine what would happen if someone lost control of it in the city... Ah, never mind! What goes on within Mondstadt's walls is up to Mondstadt's people to deal with!
Klee	Me and Albedo have a secret code! Whenever he puts a sign on his workshop door saying "Experiment in Progress," that's code for "Come back later, Klee". Albedo's really nice and he's so patient with me, so I don't mind waiting until he's finished with his work.
Amber	Albedo spends most of his time in his workshop, tinkering away with all of his awesome stuff. But, when you see him in person, you never can quite tell what he's thinking... Who knows what goes on in that mind of his...
Jean	Sometimes I feel that terms like genius were originally created for Albedo.
Kaeya	Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?
Lisa	Albedo is quite the alchemist. Just say the word and he'll come up with a good solution. He's easy on the eyes too, just like you.
Mona	Albedo? Ah... I envy his ability to solely focus on his research without getting bogged down in mundane worldly affairs. What a wonderful life! If that batty old lady hadn't had one too many screws loose, perhaps that's the life I'd be living by now myself...
Sucrose	As his Assistant I learn so much each and every day. What's key is not his existing knowledge, but his talented way of thinking. No matter how complex the task at hand, his way of thinking ensures he gets to the bottom of it, and is able to explain it thoroughly. His methodologies are amazing... to me, its where alchemy meets art.
Xingqiu	I've thought of all the illustrations I want for each of the major event in the next three volumes! I should write my thoughts down before I forget them, and send them to Mr. Kreideprinz...
Diona	Alchemy genius? Hmm... I wonder if he knows of a way to finally help me make a drink that people don't like?
