Albedo is an underrated Sub-DPS that can be a perfect addition to your team to increase Geo DMG. He is a great character to build, and we have listed out below how you can go about adding his talents to your team.
Albedo’s Best Builds & Artifact Sets
Albedo is best in the role of Sub-DPS due to having high Geo DMG from both his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, as well as short Cooldown rates. This allows for Albedo to be a constant source of off-field Geo DMG which can help buff other teammates. In order to help him reach his full potential, here is theset of artifactsthat you should use.
4-Set Of Husk Of Opulent Dreams
A 2-Set of Husk of Opulent Dreams will give Albedo a DEF stat bonus of 30 percent.Since the DEF stat will help to increase Albedo’s Elemental Skill strength, this is a great bonus for him. With a 4-Set, Albedo will obtain the Curiosity effect, which includes the following: The character will gain one stack after hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, which can then occur once every 0.3 seconds. When the character is off-field, they will gain one stack every three seconds. This effect can stack up to four times, which will provide a six 6 percent DEF and 6 percent Geo DMG Bonus.
Making sure to focus on DEF stats is extremely important for building Albedo. When he uses his Elemental Skill and places the Solar Isotoma on the ground,the DMG from this attack scales off of his DEF. Here are the Main Stats and Substats you should focus on when building Albedo’s artifacts.
