The new Version 1.2 for Genshin Impact includes a new playable character named Albedo. As Chief Alchemist for the Knights of Favonius, Albedo is a Geo user who wields swords in combat. He's also the banner character for the new update, called "The Chalk Prince and the Dragon." With the right character build, Genshin Impact's Albedo can be a great addition to just about any team.
Albedo is just the newest member to join Genshin Impact's growing roster of playable characters. Although he's featured heavily in the 1.2 main story content, the only way to obtain Albedo is through the game's Wish system. As a 5-star character, this means Albedo will be incredibly rare - so players will need luck and plenty of Primogems to get him.
As a Geo user and swordsman, Albedo's attacks are quick and can hit multiple enemies at the same time. Because so many of Albedo's skills rely on AoEs, the best Artifacts and weapons should work to increase his DMG and ATK stats. CRIT can be another priority, depending on how players want to use him. Either way, Albedo may be one of the best new fighters in all of Genshin Impact. And with the right weapons and Artifacts, he can be even better.
Best Artifacts & Weapons For Albedo In Genshin Impact
There are several Artifacts that work great for Albedo in Genshin Impact. The Berserker set works great, since equipping two pieces will raise Albedo's CRIT by 12%, and four Berserker pieces raises CRIT by an extra 24% if Albedo's health drops below 70%. The Archaic Petra set is the best, though, since two pieces give Albedo's Geo DMG a 15% bonus. Four Artifacts in the Archaic Petra set can potentially increase all party members' ATK by 35% through the Crystalline Reaction mechanic.
The best weapons for Albedo in Genshin Impact should also focus on raising his ATK and DMG stats. Because of this, the Favonius Sword is great, since it's Elemental Recharge bonus can allow Albedo to use his more powerful AoE attacks more often. The new Festering Desire sword in the Dragonpsine region can potentially work great too. Although it's a cursed weapon at first, Festering Desire has Energy Recharge stats, as well as adding 16% to Elemental Skill DMG and increases Elemental Skill CRIT rate by 6%. Coupled with the Archaic Petra Artifacts, this build should work best for Albedo right now.
As a new 5-star playable character, many people will be trying to get Albedo through the Wish system in Genshin Impact. He's an excellent fighter and the best Artifacts and weapons builds increase his ATK, DMG, and CRIT stats. With these builds, Albedo will be even stronger.
