Cinnabar SpindleABIS

DEF 69.0% · Base ATK 454

Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 40% / 50% / 60% / 70% / 80% of DEF. The effect will be triggered no more than once every 1.5s and will be cleared 0.1s after the Elemental Skill deals DMG. Albedo's best 4-star weapon, great for both his damage and maxing out his DMG % buff.

Harbinger of DawnBF2P Best

CRIT DMG 46.9% · Base ATK 401

When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14% / 17.5% / 21% / 24.5% / 28%. The low base Attack on this weapon is of no issue to Albedo since he scales off Defense. This makes it his best free to play option if you do not have Cinnabar Spindle, as long as you can stay above 90% HP for the passive.

Flute of EzpitzalB

DEF 69.0% · Base ATK 454

Using an Elemental Skill increases DEF by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% for 15s. Another good alternative to Harbinger of Dawn, not too far behind in damage, while also providing a ton of DEF % to max his DMG % buff.

Artifact Sets

4pcIf the equipping character has completed Witch's Homework, after they use an Elemental Skill, they gain "Light's Guidance" for 20s: All nearby party members gain a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus corresponding to the equipping character's Elemental Type. The equipping character can trigger this effect while off-field. DMG Bonuses provided by Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.n When your party has the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, Light's Guidance is upgraded to "Mortal Hymn": All nearby party members gain a 40% Elemental DMG Bonus corresponding to both the equipping character and the current active party member's Elemental Type instead. If both characters have the same Elemental Type, these bonuses will not stack.

Fantastic buffing set that Albedo can use. If there is no other support on the team using this set, then Albedo should use this set instead.

When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times, each providing 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus. When 6 seconds pass without gaining a Curiosity stack, 1 stack is lost.

If another Hexerei unit on the team is using Celestial Gift, then this is generally Albedo's best set instead. It provides the best stats for his damage, and the DEF % will make his DMG % buff larger.

Good alternative to Husk of Opulent Dreams if you don't have it, only slightly behind for Albedo's own damage. However, his DMG % buff will be smaller with it.

Normal Attack

Elemental SkillAbiogenesis: Solar Isotoma

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. This Geo bloom has an unusual property mirrored in the aim of alchemy. To rise from the earth, soar into the sky, and become the sun.

Elemental Skill

Elemental BurstRite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide

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. Under the Kreideprinz's command, the tectonic tide of creation seethes into life.

Elemental Burst

1st Ascension PassiveCalcite Might

Transient Blossoms generated by the Elemental Skill Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma deal 25% more DMG to opponents whose HP is below 50%. Additionally, if there is a Silver Isotoma on the field that was created by Albedo, the DMG dealt will also be increased by 240% of Albedo's DEF.

Transient Blossoms generated by Albedo's Elemental Skill Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma regenerate 1.2 Energy for Albedo. Additionally, the use of Albedo's Elemental Skill Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma also increases his DEF by 50% for the next 20s.

Meaningful upgrade worth targeting. Albedo has a strong C1 and C2.

C2Opening of PhanerozoicPull Target

Transient Blossoms generated by the Elemental Skill Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma grant Albedo Fatal Reckoning for 30s: · Unleashing the Elemental Burst Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide consumes all stacks of Fatal Reckoning. Each stack of Fatal Reckoning consumed increases the DMG dealt by Fatal Blossoms and Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide's burst DMG by 30% of Albedo's DEF. · This effect stacks up to 4 times. Additionally, when Albedo is not on the field and when the stack count of Fatal Reckoning reaches 4, all stacks of Fatal Reckoning are consumed. This generates 3 Fatal Blossoms near your active character, which will violently bloom to deal AoE Geo DMG equal to 300% of Albedo's DEF, DMG that will be considered Elemental Burst DMG. Where the Passive Talent Homuncular Nature has also been unlocked, the Elemental Mastery of nearby party members will also increase by 125 for 10s.
