How to Use Albedo

Maintain Solar Isotoma's Uptime

Solar Isotoma Supplemental DMG

Albedo is a master of supplemental damage and his Elemental Skill, Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma should always be active to optimize his damage potential.

Since Solar Isotoma is a Geo Construct it can be placed in advance of a fight, such as a Ley Line Blossom or Domain, and its low cool down allows it to be moved easily.

Placement of Solar Isotoma is important when fighting Boss enemies as it will be destroyed instantly if placed directly on them. If you plan to use Albedo in a boss fight try to position the constructed to the side or behind the Boss to minimize the chance of it being destroyed and the AoE nullified.

Elemental Mastery Boost

Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide

After using Albedo's Elemental Burst, all characters in your party will automatically receive a 125 Elemental Mastery bonus for a few seconds. Swapping from Albedo to a party member to trigger an elemental reaction will ensure massive reaction damage.

A Home for DEF Stat Artifacts

Similar to Noelle, Albedo can take advantage of the unwanted artifacts that have DEF as the main stat, as his skills scale with his defense. A usually unwanted artifact for other characters, might actually be the perfect match for Albedo!

Refund Weapon Crafting Materials

Albedo has a 10% chance to double the out come of the weapon material you are crafting. This effect can be extremely useful if you are lacking resources or when crafting multiple weapon materials.

Albedo's In-Game Information

Character Thoughts on Albedo

Mona	Coming Soon
Klee	Me and Albedo have a secret code! Whenever he puts a sign on his workshop door saying "Experiment in Progress," that's code for "Come Back Later, Klee." Albedo's really nice and he's so patient with me, so I don't mind waiting until he's finished with his work.
Venti	How do you explain white chalk in black soil, or the earth's dense crust amidst the emptiness of space? Same reason the purest soil gave birth to human life... It's an ancient power with unmistakable properties. Trying to harness it is dangerous indeed, I can't imagine what would happen if someone lost control of it in the city... Ah, never mind! What goes on within Mondstadt's walls is up to Mondstadt's people to deal with!
Kaeya	Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He’s the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?
Amber	Albedo spends most of his time in his workshop, tinkering away with all of his awesome stuff. But, when you see him in person, you never can quite tell what he's thinking... Who knows what goes on in that mind of his...
Sucrose	As his assistant I learn so much each and every day. What's key is not his existing knowledge, but his talented way of thinking. No matter how complex the task at hand, his way of thinking ensures he gets to the bottom of it, and is able to explain it thoroughly. His methodologies are amazing... to me, it's where alchemy meets art. Talent? Let's hypothesize that he and I were to perform the same research - I'd still spend my whole life playing catch up. But, my studying bio-alchemy has nothing to do with evading his line of research, we just happen to have different interests and dreams - nothing more.
Diona	Alchemy genius? Hmm… I wonder if he knows a way to finally help me make a drink that people don't like?
Lisa	Coming Soon
Xingqiu	I've thought of all the illustrations I want for each major event in the next three volumes! I should write my thoughts down before I forget them, and send them to Mr. Kreideprinze...
Jean	Sometimes I feel that terms like "genius" were originally created for Albedo.
