Albedo is a really strong Geo Sub-DPS character in Genshin Impact. All of his abilities, apart from Elemental Burst, scale off his DEF and allow him to deal off-field Geo damage. To make the most out of Albedo, all you must do is use his Elemental Skill to summon the Solar Isotoma on the field. The Geo Construct has a huge AoE, and every time you deal damage to enemies within its area, it will deal additional damage to the enemies.
Additionally, if you use Abedo's Elemental Burst to deal damage within Solar Isotoma's AoE, the Skill triggers seven additional instances of damage. His Burst also has a unique ability to buff all party members' Elemental Mastery by 125.
How to Play Albedo

- Upon taking the field with Albedo, use his Elemental Skill's hold version to create a Solar Isotoma at a suitable location.
- Follow it up with his Elemental Burst to deal damage and provide teammates with additional EM.
- Switch to your Main DPS and deal damage.

Albedo Kit Details and Talent Level-up Priority
Let's take a look at all of Albedo's talents and their level-up priorities:
| Talent | Effect | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attacks | Normal Attack: Perform up to 5 rapid strikes. Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. | Low |
| Elemental Skill (Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma) | Albedo creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, dealing AoE Geo DMG. At specific intervals, hits on enemies within the Solar Isotoma field will cause the Solar Isotoma to generate Transient Blossoms, which deal AoE Geo DMG to the enemy based on Albedo's DEF. Only one Solar Isotoma can exist at any given time, and the Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo Construct. When a character stands at the locus of the Solar Isotoma, it will gather the power of Geo to form a crystallized platform that lifts the character up to a certain height. Only one platform can exist at a time. | Highest |
| Elemental Burst (Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide) | Crystaliized Geo energy bursts forth at Albedo's command, dealing AoE Geo DMG in front of Albedo. 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.) | High |
| Passive Talent 1 (Calcite Might) | Transient Blossoms generated by Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma deal 25% more DMG to opponents whose HP is below 50%. | NA |
| Passive Talent 2 (Homuncular Nature) | Using Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide increases the Elemental Mastery of nearby party members by 125 for 10s. | NA |
| Passive Talent 3 (Flash of Genius) | When Albedo crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product. | NA |
