On this page of our Genshin Impact guide, you can find everything that you need to know about building Albedo, a hero with Geo element. The page provides basic information about this character, what are her strong points, how to build her correctly and in what team composition she will shine the most.
General information
Albedo is a 5-star hero of Geo element, fighting with a sword. This is one of the characters that are perfect for the Sub DPS role. Her main advantages are very short cooldown on Elemental Skill (4 seconds) and high Geo DMG output. Moreover, elemental reactions are a desired effect with her, as after using her Elemental Burst, she receives 125 Elemental Mastery.
When building Albedo, focus on improving DEF%, Geo DMG, CRIT DMG, and CRIT Rate.
Best team compositions
- Geo Sub DPS - Itto / Gorou / Albedo / Diona
- Geo Sub DPS - Xiao / Jean / Albedo / Zhongli
Geo Sub DPS Build
Albedo gains a lot with high DEF, as her skills scale well with this stat. When using Elemental Skill, remember to place the construct away from enemies, as they can quickly destroy it if in range of their attacks.
- Artifacts - 4x Husk of Opulent Dreams / 2x Archaic Petra 2x Noblesse Oblige
- Weapons - Cinnabar Spindle / Harbringer of Dawn
Since Albedo gains a lot with high DEF, first recommended artifact pick is definitely 4x Husk of Opulent Dreams. 2-piece bonus results in +30% DEF, and 4-piece bonus means a special effect - Curosity. You can receive 1 stack of it after dealing damage with Geo, and this effect can occur every 0.3 seconds. If Itto is away from the field, one stack is gained every 3 seconds. You can stack the effect up to 4 times. Each stack guarantees 6% DEF and 6% Geo DMG Bonus. If six seconds elapse without adding a new stack, one of active stacks will disappear.
You can alternatively use 2 pairs of different artifacts, we are talking about 2x Archaic Petra, 2x Noblesse Oblige here. This option results in 15% more Geo DMG and additional 20% Elemental Burst damage.
When it comes to weapons, consider Cinnabar Spindle - this is a 4-star weapon that improves DEF. Additionally, your Elemental Skill damage will increase by 40% of your current DEF. However, the effect won't occur more than once per 1.5 seconds. Since Cinnabar Spindle improves the most important stats and skills of Albedo, this is a great choice.
The second pick is even easier to obtain - Harbringer of Dawn. With this 3-star weapon, when Albedo's health is above 90%, his CRIT Rate will be increased by 14% and on highest Refinement level (easy to achieve), by 28%.
Talents
Talents are special abilities divided into Combat and Passive categories. In the case of Albedo, you should focus on developing these talents in this order:
- Geo Sub DPS - Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma, Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide, Favonius Bladework - Weiss
Constellations
Albedo, as a 5-star hero, is already formidable already on C0. Moreover, most constellations don't give as much as in the case of other heroes. If you want to check all bases before embarking on adventures and battles, consider rolling him 3 times so he reaches C2.
At C2, the power of his Elemental Burst scales with DEF. With C2, not only Albedo will be much more durable, as it will be much more profitable to equip DEF artifact on him, and he will deal much more damage.
