“Kreideprinz” (The Chalk Prince), “Chief Alchemist”, and “The Captain of the Investigation Team”. These are some titles that Albedo from Genshin Impact earned from his colleagues. This guide will provide a comprehensive build guide for this mysterious Geo playable character introduced into the game in his gacha event on December 23, 2020.
Known as a popular and genius yet mysterious figure in Mondstadt, Albedo is renowned for his sheer genius in the arts of alchemy and his capability of creating living organisms from his alchemical talents. In his daily life, he is known to be good friends with the resident “Spark Knight” Klee and his assistant and fellow alchemist, Sucrose.
How to Use Albedo from Genshin Impact
Albedo from Genshin Impact is an all-rounder character. He shines the best when fighting against bosses and taking up the position as support. However, he is also proficient in clearing mobs and exploring Teyvat, owing to his 5-star rarity.
Strengths
- Elemental Skill causes supplementary AoE Geo DMG and has a short 4s cooldown
- Albedo can boost Elemental Mastery by 125 points after using his Elemental Burst. Considering that elemental reactions are a must when clearing mobs in Genshin Impact, Albedo will be very helpful in raising other characters’ elemental reactions rates.
- Small energy cost of 40 for his Elemental Burst. Considering the previous point, this makes it very easy for Albedo to spam his Elemental Burst talent to keep the momentum of elemental reactions from other characters in your party.
Weakness
- Because Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo construct, the enemies can destroy it if Albedo places the construct on them. Not to mention, Albedo can only make one Solar Isotoma at a time.
