Albedo Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: Sub-DPS

Albedo is a 5-star Geo Sword character from Mondstadt who excels in the Sub-DPS role. Ascending Albedo grants bonus Geo DMG Bonus, complementing a stat priority of DEF%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG. For the Albedo Hexerei Sub-DPS Build setup, equip Husk of Opulent Dreams (Slumbering Court) with DEF% Sands, DEF% or Geo DMG Bonus Goblet, and DEF% or CRIT Rate/DMG Circlet. Uraku Misugiri (CRIT DMG) is the top recommended weapon, while Flute of Ezpitzal serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

Artifact sets differ depending on your stats and build. Husk of Opulent Dreams serves as the top choice when you need more DEF to reach the 3000~ threshold in Hexerei Build. Otherwise, you can instead use Golden Troupe to increase his personal damage. If you don't have Uraku Misugiri or Cinnabar Spindle, the latter being an event-exclusive weapon, you may opt to use Harbinger of Dawn or Wolf-Fang. The Hexerei Build for Albedo is relatively the same as his original build. The difference is that Albedo is now capable of supporting allies through his Silver Isotomas that increases the damage of his allies, which makes a DEF/DEF/DEF a viable option to increase its utility.
