Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, Albedo follows on from Zhongli as another Geo character and is doing his best to make Geo a viable element. His abilities – particularly his incredible Elemental Skill – make Albedo a high-priority choice for any team looking for a sub-DPS or Burst Carry, though he makes for a powerful main DPS choice if the mood strikes you.<\/p>\n

To get the most out of this latest 5* character though, we’ll dive in a little deeper:<\/p>\n

Weapon<\/h2>\n

As always, first up for consideration is which weapon to equip. Frankly, most 4*+ choices are pretty good with Albedo – either you get more damage (great) or you get lower CDs (also great) – and both routes allow for multiple playstyles. That said, here are some of the more interesting and stand out options:<\/p>\n

Summit Shaper<\/h2>\n

The new weapon released on the latest Weapon Banner is unsurprisingly an absolute powerhouse on Albedo. Whether you are running Albedo as your main DPS or for his Elemental Skill and Burst as a Burst Carry\/sub-DPS, Summit Shaper’s ATK% stat alongside the Golden Majesty weapon ability are very potent on the alchemist.<\/p>\n

Stronger shields – which are very easy to acquire via Albedo’s abilities – alongside a shield-empowered stacking ATK amp make this weapon a worthy consideration however you want to play Albedo, but try to stack up Golden Majesty before you do use his Elemental Skill and Burst.<\/p>\n

Festering Desire<\/h2>\n

The other new sword that arrived with Version 1.2 is Festering Desire, and it too is great on Albedo. Energy Recharge makes this a top-tier option for a Burst-focused build, but it’s still a great option for a mainline DPS build too (if only because Albedo has so much DPS built into his Elemental Burst).<\/p>\n

Moreover, Festering Desire’s Undying Admiration ability upping the DMG and Crit Rate for Albedo’s Elemental Skill, “Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma,” is also fantastic considering how powerful and long-lasting the ability is. This ability alone would make this an excellent weapon for Albedo.<\/p>\n

As a final note on Festering Desire, remember you get this weapon via The Chalk Prince and the Dragon event, where you can also empower and upgrade the sword – get to it, Travellers!<\/p>\n

Sacrificial Sword<\/h2>\n

As always, Sacrificial Sword makes for a good supportive choice. Energy Recharge means more Elemental Bursts while Composed can allow for semi-regular double casts of Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma.<\/p>\n

Sacrificial Sword loses some potency if only because Albedo’s Elemental Skill is only on a 4s CD, so you don’t remove a massive cooldown as you might on another character. That aside, it’s still a great choice for a Burst Carry\/Supportive Albedo.<\/p>\n

Other good options include Favonius Sword, Black Sword <\/strong>and Aquila Favonia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Artifacts<\/h2>\n

There are three main artifact sets being run in various configurations for Albedo as it stands: Archaic Petra, Gladiator’s Finale <\/strong>and Noblesse Oblige.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most balanced options are either 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale<\/strong> or Noblesse Oblige <\/strong>with 2-piece Archaic Petra<\/strong>. So much of Albedo’s damage is Geo based the 15% Geo DMG buff from Archaic Petra is a no-brainer, while Gladiator’s Finale offers more consistent damage via the 18% ATK amp versus Noblesse Oblige empowering Albedo’s Elemental Burst Damage. Both will work however you want to play him, but Gladiator’s leans more towards a main DPS playstyle, compared to Noblesse edging towards a sub-DPS\/Burst Carry style.<\/p>\n
