Albedo's Elemental Skill particle generation is completely based on RNG, similar to Zhongli, but with better odds of around 50% to 60% chance of generating a particle.
To maximize Albedo's Elemental Skill potential, focus on building his EM and ER to increase the overall Elemental Reaction damage.
Some recommended Artifact set options for Albedo include:
- Abyssal Dominion of Malevolence for increased Geo damage
- Archaic Petra for Elemental Reaction bonuses
When playing with Albedo, consider team compositions that include other Geo characters, such as Zhongli or Noelle, to create powerful Elemental Reactions like Crystallize or Implosion.
Talents Priority
Albedo is a character that can summon a Geo Construct from his Elemental Skill which deals damage on a 2 second interval whenever enemies in the field are damaged. His Elemental Burst provides 125 EM to the party, which is good on teams that rely on amplification reactions, such as Vaporize. It is worth noting that since his stat priority is focused on DEF (Elemental Skill scaling), you might want to skip casting Elemental Burst if your team doesn't benefit from the 125 EM buff. Another option is to build him with ATK-DEF Hybrid, which ends up with lower Skill damage but higher Burst damage.
Regarding Weapon Choices:
- Peak Patrol Song: Although its damage is about equal to Cinnabar Spindle, the massive buffs it provides to the team generally makes it his best weapon. Make sure you Normal Attack twice before using his Skill with this weapon.
- Harbinger of Dawn: Albedo's Elemental Skill scales with Defense, which is why the Base ATK from the weapon doesn't matter that much. Harbinger of Dawn offers a lot of Crit stats which is why it is one of the strongest weapons for him despite being a 3 star weapon. The downside of this weapon is that you'd need to keep Albedo's HP at 90% or higher to benefit from the passive, so it might be annoying to use against certain enemies which has a HP lowering debuff, even when off-field, such as Corrosion.
- Mistsplitter Reforged: Realistically you are only able to get 2 stacks of this weapon's passive and this requires setup. Generally just use Harbinger of Dawn instead and give your Mistsplitter Reforged to another sword DPS character.
- Freedom-Sworn: Equipping this weapon will decrease Albedo's own damage significantly but he is one of the better Freedom-Sworn holders since he can trigger the passive quite easily to buff your other party members.
- : Weapon rankings use R1. At R5, it performs better than Harbinger of Dawn due to it being unconditional. It's worth noting the Crit Rate passive of does not stack off-field, you can perform Skill>N1>Swap character instead of just Skill>Swap character, for two stacks instead of one, but the difference isn't significant.
Regarding Artifact Sets:
- Husk of Opulent Dreams (4): Due to Albedo's skill snapshotting upon cast, you need to either wait ~12 seconds before starting a domain/fight to reach max stacks or recast his skill to benefit from the DEF and Geo DMG bonus provided by the 4 piece set effect.
- Golden Troupe (4): With Peak Patrol Song and Cinnabar Spindle, this set performs similarly to Husk of Opulent Dreams (4), and slightly better than Husk with the addition of Gorou and another Geo teammate assuming Spindle still. With Harbinger of Dawn however, this set performs worse than Husk of Opulent Dreams (4). It performs worse if Albedo uses his Burst.
- Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is used for the 4 piece set effect which has good uptime on Albedo. Worth noting that this set decreases your Elemental Skill damage by a lot if compared to the other offensive sets.
- Archaic Petra (4): This set is a niche option for Albedo. It is lower personal damage than several other set options, but can be a reasonable option in some teams for buffing other characters. Do note that the 4pc bonus requires you to pick the shard up on Albedo.
Regarding Mainstat Priority: Goblet: DEF% Goblet can be preferred if running Golden Troupe or Peak Patrol Song.
Regarding Artifact Substats Priority: ATK% and Energy Recharge substats are only valuable on a Hybrid Albedo that casts his Elemental Burst.
