Butcher79
This guide provides information about Albedo's skills and how to enhance them, the pros and cons of the character, and the correct selection of equipment and artifacts for the hero.
In addition to being able to create shields without even being on the field, Albedo's abilities, charged attack, and elemental blast can deal frequent and devastating damage with little effort, boosting his teammates' DPS in the process. He's heavily balanced right from the start, but with better builds and a team focused on his specific skill set, you'll have an extra DPS unit that can quickly and efficiently switch to fighting, dealing a staggering amount of AoE damage.

How to get Albedo in Genshin Impact?
Albedo was obtainable shortly after the release of version 1.2, which introduced the Dragonridge location, where he was the main character during the storyline. He was featured as a rating up character on a banner Mysterious Secrets.
Will Albedo rerun?
As soon as Kli was the first to get a re-drop option during the 1.6 update back in June, a scheme began to form that suggested that Albedo would get rerun, giving players another chance to unlock him or his constellations. However, in patches 2.0 and 2.1, he has yet to return, and it is not known if he will ever return. The encouraging factor is Hu Tao and Child's rerun in Update 2.2, and this leaves a ray of hope that we will have a chance to get Albedo!
Best Albedo builds
Below are two of the best Albedo builds you can use right now. Read on to see the details of these specific Albedo builds, and if you haven't used them before, you'll get an explanation of our reasoning behind our picks for his best weapons and artifacts.
Albedo's best builds use his defensive stat scaling (DEF) to boost his damage, secondly relying on building it Geo damage, Critical Strike Strength, and Critical Damage itself so that his elemental skill and explosion deal the most damage possible each time it is used.
Of course, which of the two best Albedo builds you choose will depend entirely on how you plan to play as a Geo character. After all, he is a universal choice. After that, we'll look at good options for the squad, but let's focus on equipping it first.
| ROLE | BEST WEAPON | ALTERNATIVE WEAPON | BEST ARTIFACTS | ALTERNATIVE ARTIFACTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elemental Skill Sub DPS | Harbinger of the Dawn / Corrupted Desire | Corrupted Desire / Traveler's Sword | Archaic Stone (XNUMX-piece set) | Millelite's Fortitude (XNUMX-piece set) |
| Elemental Burst Sub DPS | heavenly sword | Corrupted Desire / Harbinger of Dawn | Archaic Stone + Ancient Nobility Ceremony | Archaic stone (two parts) or Ceremony of the ancient nobility (two parts). |
Elemental Skill Sub DPS
For the most part, building Albedo around his elemental skills will be a better and more accessible approach for the average player. His elemental skill recharges almost as fast as you can switch between modes and back.
Because it deals respectable fall damage on or near enemies, it's a good way to increase a character's DPS rather than just letting its on-hit lingering effect be its only use.
Elemental Burst Sub DPS Build
By focusing on ways to buff Albedo's easily charged elemental skills, you can deal massive amounts of burst damage over a wide area, leaving behind a large DMG buff for other characters to then clear. Obviously, this will grow further after unlocking the second constellation Albedo (at which point it needs to be built), but even before that, if you have the right items to implement this build, this is not a bad approach.
The best companions for Albedo's squad?
Although the area left by his elemental skill is large, the area damage of his effect is not large. It's not necessary, but in order to get the most out of Albedo's set, it is necessary to find a way to group enemies so that each trigger of his elemental skill will hit multiple opponents.
Since his talents and weapons complement the team well with his own skills, using characters that can group enemies and quickly damage them with their own talents will go a long way. Here is a great Albedo team lineup to use:
| CHARACTER | ELEMENT |
|---|---|
| Albedo | Geo |
| Diluc | Pyro |
| Fischl | electro |
| Venti | Anemo |
At the moment, this is one of Albedo's best team lineups at almost any level. Having a Fischl with the 6th constellation will make a big difference, but the basic idea remains the same:
- Use Venti's Elemental Burst to group up a group of enemies.
- Place Albedo's elemental skill on them.
- Use Diluk's burst to activate geo splash damage and fill Venti's cyclone with fire for whirlpool damage.
- Use Fischl to throw Oz at a group of enemies and blast them with her quick normal attacks.
It's tricky, but each of these characters requires little energy, and they all have high energy recharges thanks to their chain reactions. It is currently one of the best command lineups for Albedo, allowing him to bombard the enemy with explosive elemental attacks almost non-stop.
The best weapon for Albedo
Because Albedo doesn't rely much on his normal attacks, the weapons he uses are purely based on the stats they provide.
Basic attack comes standard on his best picks, but you need to use the critical damage, cooldown, or defense bonus stats and effects with them.
| WEAPONS | RARITY | Briefly | EFFECT | HOW TO GET A |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harbinger of Dawn |  | Basic ATK/CRIT DMG | Increases crit chance. hitting 14%~28% at HP above 90%. | Prayer |
| Traveler's Sword | | Basic Attack/Defense% | Picked up elemental spheres and particles restore 1% HP. | Chests / Crash Course Quest |
| Desecrated Desire |  | Basic Attack / Energy Re | Increases elemental skill damage by 16%~32%, and his crit chance. hit - on 6%~12%. | Event |
On a rare occasion for any five-star character in Genshin Impact, Albedo is better at using a regular three-star weapon. Harbinger of Dawnthan some gacha swords. Desecrated Desire from the Dragonspine limited time event was another great option considering it was available for free at the same time.
If you completed the quest to unlock Kay or you found him in a chest, Traveler's Sword is another surprisingly useful three-star weapon for Albedo.
What artifacts are best for Albedo?
Albedo makes a great argument for geo artifact sets, which looked a little pointless before he came along. With how often he can deal Geo damage with his Elemental Skill and the Fast Explosion Cooldown, anything you can do to increase this stat will help.
Since Albedo is usually used as a DPS unit, a complete set archaic stone works good. It increases his geo-damage when he sets his elemental skill, and then allows other team members to receive a damage bonus when he lingers on the field.
The Ceremony of the Ancient Nobles works in a similar fashion, only amplifying Albedo's massive elemental blast, giving his teammates a healthy 20% damage boost in the process.
| ARTIFACTS | TWO-COMPONENT EFFECT | FOUR-PART EFFECT |
|---|---|---|
| Archaic stone | Get a 15% bonus to geo damage. | Picked up shards generated by the Crystal reaction increase the elemental damage bonus of all party members by 35% for 10 seconds. You can only have the damage bonus of one element at a time. |
| Noblesse Oblige | Explosion Damage +20%. | Activating an elemental explosion increases the attack power of all party members by 20% for 12 seconds. The effect does not stack. |
| Tenacity of the Millelith | HP + 20% | When an elemental skill hits enemies, the attack of all nearby characters in the party is increased by 20%, and their shield strength is increased by 30%. The effect lasts 3 seconds. and can occur once every 1 sec. This effect can be activated even if the character equipped with this set of artifacts is not on the battlefield. |
Before trying to get these artifacts, it's best to know which stats to look out for. Leveling up an artifact with less than favorable stats is a waste of precious materials and pestilence. For Albedo, it's a matter of building up his damage output by casting defenses whenever possible. Once you find the DMG Geo Cup, just work on stacking Defense, Critical Damage, and Critical Hit with various bonus stat boosts.
| SLOT | BASIC STATS | ADDITIONAL STATISTICS |
|---|---|---|
| Pen | ATK | DEF, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG |
| Flower | HP | DEF, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG |
| Hourglass | DEF% or Energy Recharge | DEF, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG |
| Cup | Geo DMG Bonus | DEF, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG |
| Headdress | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | DEF, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG |
Albedo's skills and talents
Albedo stands out as Sub DPS. Its explosion will activate a buff for the whole group, so triggering elemental reactions will give great results thanks to this, which will be reflected in this setting. The best options are the Archaic Stone and Ancient Noble Ceremony sets, accompanied by the Celestial Sword.
| ATTACK | EFFECT |
|---|---|
| Normal attack (click) | Up to five quick sword strikes. |
| Charged Attack (hold) | Two quick sword swings that cost a certain amount of stamina. |
| Attack in the fall | Swiftly falls to the ground, attacking all enemies on the way. Upon landing, deals area damage. |
| Elemental Skill - Aboginese: Flower of the Sun | Albedo uses alchemy to create a Sun Flower that inflicts Geo area damage. sun flower has the following properties:When enemies in an area centered on the Sun Flower take damage, the Sun Flower generates Evanescent Flowers that deal Geo area damage. Damage dealt is affected by Albedo's defense.Flowers of Transience can be generated no more than once every 2 seconds.When a character stands on a Sun Flower, it emits Geo energy to create a crystal platform that lifts the character to a certain height. Only one crystal platform can exist at a time. Only one Sun Flower created by Albedo can exist at a time, and it counts as Geo design.Long press allows you to select the location of the effect of the skill. |
| Elemental Explosion - Birth Ritual: Tectonic Surge | Albedo launches Geo Crystals in front of him, which explode and inflict Geo area damage. If there is a Sun Flower created by Albedo himself on the battlefield, then 7 Flowers of Inevitability are generated in his zone, which instantly bloom and inflict Geo area damage. Damage from Tectonic Surge and Flowers of Inevitability does not generate Flowers of Transience. |
| Passive. talent 1 Superiority of Calcite | Increases the damage of Aboginese: Flower of the Sun's Transience Blossom against enemies with HP below 50% by 25%. |
| Passive. talent 2 Homuncular nature | Activating Birth Ritual: Tectonic Surge increases nearby party members' Elemental Mastery by 125. within 10 sec. |
| Passive. talent 3 Flash of genius | When creating Ascension Materials, the weapon has a 10% chance to create an additional item. |
Constellations Albedo
If you are lucky enough to pull Albedo a few times, you will quickly unleash the true potential of his powerful Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. His second Constellation is the true target in this situation. With it, Albedo's elemental explosion damage will rapidly increase as enemies are hit by his ubiquitous skill. Since its cooldowns are virtually non-existent, this means a near-permanent 120% damage boost for an already painful ability.
| Level of | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | edema flower | Transience Flowers generated by Albedo Aboginese: Sun Flower restore 1.2 health. Albedo energy. |
| 2 | Discovery of the Phanerozoic | Evanescent Flowers generated by Aboginese: Sun Flower, for 30 sec. endow Albedo with a fatal calculation: Activating the skill Birth Ritual: Tectonic Wave removes the effect of Doom Reckoning and, depending on the effect levels removed, increases the explosion damage of Birth Ritual: Tectonic Wave and the damage of Flowers of Inevitability. Each level of Doom Reckoning increases damage by 30% of Albedo's defense. This effect can stack up to 4 times. |
| 3 | Grace of Helios | Increases the skill level of Aboginese: Flower of the Sun by 3. Max. Lvl: 15 |
| 4 | The Descent of Spirituality | Increases the fall attack damage of active party members in the Sun Blossom area by 30%. |
| 5 | The tide of katarchea | Increases Birth Ritual: Tectonic Surge by 3. Max. Lvl: 15 |
| 6 | Cleansing dust | Increases the damage of active party members in the Sun Blossom area that are under the effect of Crystal's Reaction Shield by 17%. |
Albedo Ascension Materials
Raising Alebdo increases his HP, ATK, DEF and Geo DMG. These last two metrics are incredibly important to Alebdo's potential damage. You will notice that he becomes much stronger as you gradually elevate him. And, fortunately, it's not that difficult. Cecilia and Sealed Scrolls are not commonly used and are easy to collect. After that, it's just a matter of farming Geo Hypostasis for Basalt Column and Prithiva Topaz.
| Phase | Req. ur. | Mora | Materials elevations | Materials elevations | curiosity | Material |
| 0 → 1 | 20 | 20,000 |  x1 Shard Topaz Prithiva | — |  |  |
| 1 → 2 | 40 | 40,000 |  |  | | |
| 2 → 3 | 50 | 60,000 | | | |  |
| 3 → 4 | 60 | 80,000 |  | | | |
| 4 → 5 | 70 | 100,000 | | | |  |
| 5 → 6 | 80 | 120,000 | | | | |
What are Albedo's talent leveling materials?
Another important part of building Albedo is to remember to level up his talents and abilities. The order in which you do this will vary slightly depending on the role you think Albedo will play on your team, but here is the most common order to upgrade Albedo's talents:
- Elemental Skill
- elemental explosion
- Basic Attack
Here are the materials you will need to maximize his talents:
| DAILY DROP | ENEMY DROP | WEEKLY DROP |
|---|---|---|
| Teachings / Directions / Philosophy of Poetry | Scroll of Magic / Seal / Forbidden Curse | sky whale horn |
In fact, you don't need to increase his base attack at all. Considering there's a good chance you'll be using a three-star weapon with this guy, that should be the only reason you need to understand that he's not here to just slash enemies. His damage comes more or less from his elemental skill and elemental blast.
