ALBEDO TALENTS / SKILLS

Normal Attack: Perform up to 5 rapid strikes.

Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.

Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma (Elemental Skill):  Albedo creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, which deals AoE Geo DMG on appearance.

Solar Isotoma
has the following properties:

  • When opponents within the Solar Isotoma field take DMG, the Solar Isotoma will generate Transient Blossoms which deal AoE Geo DMG. DMG dealt scales off Albedo’s DEF.
  • Transient Blossoms can only be generated once every 2s.
  • When a character is located at the locus of the Solar Isotoma, the Solar Isotoma will accumulate Geo power to form a crystallized platform that lifts the character up to a certain height. Only one crystallized platform can exist at a time.
  • Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo construct. Only one Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself can exist at a time.

Hold to designate the location of the skill.

DURATION: 30s COOL DOWN: 4s 

Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide (Elemental Burst):  Under Albedo’s command, Geo crystals surge and burst forth, dealing AoE Geo DMG in front of him.
If a Solar Isotoma created by Albedo himself is on the field, 7 Fatal Blossoms will be generated in the Solar Isotoma field, bursting violently into bloom and dealing AoE Geo DMG.

Tectonic Tide DMG and Fatal Blossom DMG will not generate Transient Blossoms.

ALBEDO BUILDS / STRATEGY

HP | ATK | DEF% | GEO%/DEF% | DEF%

SUPPORT: Albedo is an amazing support even at low investment. In the early game all you want is DEF% on everything. As your progress further you need to add Geo Dmg, CD, and CR to boost his damage output for better efficiency.  

These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best swords for Albedo. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD. 

ALBEDO CONSTELLATIONS

Rock, the Backbone of Earth (Lvl 1): Increases the maximum number of Stone Steles created by Dominus Lapidis that may exist simultaneously to 2.

Stone, The Cradle of the Jade (Lvl 2): Planet Befall grants nearby characters on the field a Jade Shield when it descends.

Jade, Shimmering Through Darkness (Lvl 3):  Increases the Level of Dominus Lapidis by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Topaz, Unbreakable and Fearless (Lvl 4): Increases Planet Befall’s AoE by 20% and increases the duration of Planet Befall’s Petrification effect by 2s.

The Lazuli, Herald of the Order (Lvl 5): Increase the Level of Planet Befall by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Crysos, Bounty of Dominator (Lvl 6): When the Jade Shield takes DMG, 40% of that incoming DMG is converted to HP for the current character. A single instance of regeneration cannot exceed 8% of that character’s Max HP.

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES

STRENGTHS:

  • Albedo is one of the most reliable support in Genshin Impact!
  • His E has a 4 sec cooldown and 30 second uptime which means infinite additional damage.
  • His E also lifts you up in the air which is great for plunge attacks and reaching tough spots in the game. 
  • His AoE ring is huge!
  • He is very easy to build even for early game.
  • He can fit into any team comp, and he’ll help dish out extra damage.

WEAKNESSES

  • He doesn’t have much role outside of support.
  • As you progress into end game, he starts to be out shined in damage boosting by other supports. 

RANKING

Combat Rating (9/10): He has the easiest combat mechanics in the game. Swap him out, use your E, then swap to your next character. When you need more damage, swap right back to him. The only thing to keep in mind is his E can be destroyed if you deploy right under a big boss.  

Exploration (9/10): His E really comes in handy to lift you up so you can collect things that are hard to get. You can also use this skill to lift you up on cliffs so you can glide even further. 

Spiral Abyss (8/10): He is really good in spiral abyss for constant additional damage. His wide area of effect is also nice since targets tend to move around. Since he’s a Geo he doesn’t take up elemental reactions. 

Artifact Farming (8/10): He serves the same role here as he does in the Abyss.

Normal/Weekly Bosses (8/10): He is pretty useful in just about any combat situation.
