Genshin Impact Best Albedo Build

If you’re looking to unleash wrath using your main Albedo in Genshin Impact, then you’re in the perfect place!

Albedo is an amazing Geo character and seamlessly makes it to the S tiers with his amazing abilities and impressive flexibility. But, if you want to make the best of his potential, you need to implement the proper attributes, right?

I will help you to make the best Albedo build in Genshin Impact today, so that you can provide the balance that your team needs and ace the battles without breaking a sweat!

Best Albedo Build in Genshin Impact

Albedo is one of the most impactful Geo characters in the game right now! You can play him both as a Support and a Support-DPS, depending on the needs of your team.

Slaying with the Sword, Albedo can be more than effective even with four-star attributes, which makes him so attractive for all Support and Geo players.

The Elemental Skill of Albedo is the Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma, which inflicts additional to the damage to the surroundings on effect.

Furthermore, causing AoE damage to the opponents helps to increase the defensive attributes of Albedo.

The Elemental Burst in the form of Tectonic Tide is yet another extremely powerful feature of Albedo.

Geo Crystals, due to the Tectonic Tide, cause significant AoE damage combined with Albedo’s Solar Isotoma, which leads to even greater damage to enemies in the surroundings.

These attributes put Albedo in a high pedestal when it comes to choosing powerful Geo characters, as the AoE DMG inflicted is off the charts!

Let’s take a look at the two builds that will work perfect for Albedo.

Albedo Support Build

The Support build for Albedo, obviously, focuses on enhancing the defensive stats of the character. The Support build focuses on providing defensive coverage as well as uplifting the ATK stats of the allies.

The optimal weapon for Albedo as a Support would be the Cinnabar Spindle. This 4-star sword consists of 41 Base ATK level along with DEF as the Secondary Stat.

The AoE DMG dealt by Albedo through the Solar Isotoma Elemental Skill is increased by as much as 40% initially, and is implemented once around every 2 seconds. This stat reaches 80% at max refinement rank.

In case the Cinnabar Spindle is out of your reach, you can go for the Primordial Jade Cutter.

It may not boost the defensive stats, but it does have better Primary ATK DMG and will help Albedo deal greater damage with CRIT Rate secondary stat.

There’s no better artifact than the Tenacity of Millelith if you’re playing a Support.

4pcs of this artifact will boost the ATK as well as the Shield Strength of the allies by 20% and 30% respectively for a brief period, if Albedo inflicts damage with the Solar Isotoma.

The allies can be benefited with it even if Albedo is off-field. The very small cooldown time makes this artifact very attractive for the Support role of Albedo.

Implementing both the Main stats and Substats to be DEF% will help Albedo provide a much longer and more efficient support to the teammates.

Albedo Sub-DPS build

The Support-DPS or Sub-DPS build for Albedo is relatively more popular than the Support build because of the offensive contribution it brings to the character.

While it’s totally team-dependent, it doesn’t hurt to have a Support deal a good amount of damage!

Similar to the Support build, the Cinnabar Spindle has no competitors when it comes to the perfect weapon for Albedo.

The way this weapon boosts Albedo’s Elemental Skill is mind-blowing and the primary ATK level is quite impressive as well.

Yet again, I would go for the Primordial Jade Cutter as the alternative to the Cinnabar Spindle. The Harbinger of Dawn is also a notable option for the Sub-DPS build, since it offers a good rise in CRIT Rate with each increase in rank.

Moving on to artifacts, the 4pcs of the Husk of Opulent Dreams is what I would go for an Albedo playing in the Sub-DPS role.

The key benefit to equipping 4pcs of this artifact is the Curiosity effect that it comes with, which is specialized for Geo Characters.

The Curiosity works in stacks. It’ll gain 1 stack when Albedo successfully inflicts damage on an enemy. The stacks can build up to 4 as long as Albedo’s dealing damage every 6 seconds.

The benefit of these stacks is that each stack will enhance the defensive stats as well provide a 6% GEO DMG bonus. You can achieve a maximum of 24% increase in both with the 4 stacks of Curiosity.

The reason why the Husk of Opulent Dreams is so effective is that the increase in DEF% and GEO DMG bonus results in Albedo’s Elemental Skill, Solar Isotoma, getting buffed, which works wonders for the Sub-DPS role.

Mimicking the Support build, the Sub-DPS build will also help Albedo perform to his potential if both the Main stats and Substats are kept as DEF%.

You can, however, implement CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate as Substats as these can help to raise the attacking contributions of Albedo remarkably.

How do I Level up Albedo?

Levelling up Albedo will require you to find the Ascension material, Prithiva Topaz, similar to Zhongli, who’s also a Geo character.

The most common way to obtain this material is by damaging and finishing off the Geo Hypostasis.

It’s similar to defeating the Cryo Hypostasis or Anemo Hypostasis in that the reward for defeating them are Ascension materials for particular character types.

Prithiva Topaz can also be bought for 10 Animo Sigils.

To level up to Max Ascension for Albedo, here are the all the requirements:

• Prithiva Topaz Fragment x 9
• Prithiva Topaz Sliver x 1
• Prithiva Topaz Chunk x 9
• Prithiva Topaz Gemstone x 6
• Cecilia x 168
• Divining Scroll x 18
• Basalt Pillar x 46
• Sealed Scroll x 30
• Forbidden Curse Scroll x 36

What Talents do I Level Up for Albedo?

Albedo is one of the most powerful GEO characters in the game right now, comfortably in the top tiers. Leveling up Albedo’s talents are important as it helps to increase the potential even more.

The primary and most important target to level up would be Albedo’s Elemental Skill, Solar Isotoma.

Enhancing the Elemental skills insanely racks up the damage dealt by Albedo through AoE Geo DMG, which in turn benefits the allies defensively.

The next on your list should be to increase the level of the Elemental Burst, Tectonic Tide for Albedo.

While the effects aren’t as broken as that for the Solar Isotoma, the rise in level still causes notable Fatal Blossom damage, boosting the AoE attacks and the allies’ attributes.

Best Team for Albedo

The most efficient team consisting of Albedo involves Albedo playing in the Sub-DPS role, providing excellent attacking enhancement to the teammates while staying alive for longer.

• Ningguang : DPS
• Hu Tao : DPS
• Albedo : Sub-DPS
• Zhongli/Venti: Support

With Zhongli or Venti present solely for Support, Albedo will have the freedom to also offer some offensive contributions while combining with Zhongli in the scary Support role.

Albedo will have the proper setting to easily implement his Elemental Skills and the Elemental Burst too, and if Zhongli or any other support, like Kokomi, can cluster enemies, that’s when Albedo’s AoE attacks will cause the most damage.

Wrapping Up

Apart from the excellent abilities, Albedo can be quite exciting to play, especially in the Sub-DPS role. Using the Solar Isotoma and Tectonic Tide can be deadly against any team, making Albedo quite the choice for the Sub-DPS role, along with Raiden Shogun.
