PSA #1:

A DPS and their Supports have a unique relationship: DPS bullies the Supports into doing their homework, then hands it in to look like they’re really smart — that is a DPS.

PSA #2:

Both Albedo’s abilities scale off ATK, but DEF can play a huge role depending on his constellation. He can practically bring anything to life, but chose a frickin ROCK FLOWER… b r o.

E = Elemental Skill = Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma

Q = Elemental Burst = Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide

E - Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma

Albedo creates a Solar Isotoma using alchemy, which deals AoE Geo DMG on appearance.

Solar Isotoma
Has the following properties:

• When enemies within the Solar Isotoma zone are hit, the Solar Isotoma will generate Transistent Blossoms which deal AoE Geo DMG. DMG Dealt scales off Albedo's DEF.
• When a character is located at the locus of the Solar Isotoma, the Solar Isotoma will accumulate Geo power to form a crystallized platform that lifts the character up to a certain height. Only one crystallized platform can exist at a time.
• Solar Isotoma is considered a Geo construct.

Hold to designate the location of the skill.

This Geo bloom has an unusual property mirrored in the aim of alchemy. To rise from the earth, soar into the sky, and become the sun.

Man literally plants a Geo flower into the ground, doing AoE Geo DMG and creates a field. Hold to choose placing location. YOU CAN STAND ON THE CENTER OF THE FLOWER TO MAKE IT INTO AN ELEVATOR! Slap enemies inside the field to do some extra Geo DMG.

PSA #3: IMPORTANT TIPS REGARDING E

1. THE FIELD STAYS WHEN YOU SWAP CHARACTERS.
2. E is NOT and enchantment like Chongyun’s E.
3. Transient Blossom procs (the Geo DMG) only occurs when you damage enemies INSIDE the field. If they’re outside the field, they will not receive the Geo DMG proc.
4. Transient Blossom procs occurs roughly every 2 seconds(it’s basically like a Geo version of Xingqiu’s Q).

The E can be very sensitive, so make sure you don’t accidentally cancel your combo’s or lose aggro because you stepped on the flower!

The transient blossom procs are essential to his kit, but it does not mean you should double-down on DEF% main stats unless you’re strictly planning on centralizing your build on E. A single DEF% Sands will be more than fine!

Calcite Suppression

Transient Blossom generated by Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma deal 25% more DMG to enemies whose HP is below 50%.

Basically the Geo DMG procs slap harder.

Q - Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide

Under Albedo's command, Geo crystals surge and burst forth, dealing AoE Geo DMG in front of him. If there is Solar Isotoma on the field created by Albedo himself, 7 Fatal Blossoms will be generated in the Solar Isotoma zone, bursting violently into bloom and dealing AoE Geo DMG.

Burst DMG and Fatal Blossom DMG will not generate Transient Blossoms.

Under the Kreideprinz's command, the tectonic tide of creation seethes into life.

Literally drops a giant rock flower infront of you, dealing massive AoE Geo DMG. Spreads like pollen, since it also causes 7 mini AoE Geo explosions inside Albedo’s E.

IMPORTANT TIP: You do NOT need to be in the field to cause the 7 Geo explosions. His E just has to be spawned, and you can cast Albedo’s Q anywhere to cause the explosions!

JUST MAKE SURE ALBEDO’S E IS OUT BEFORE YOU Q!

Homuncular Nature

Using Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide increases the Elemental Mastery of nearby party members by 125 for 10s.

Just use Q then proc elemental reactions. Albedo = Geo Sucrose.

Talent Leveling Order: E > Normal > Q (E > Q > Normal for burst DPS/Support)

PSA #5:

C2 Albedo changes things for both burst DPS and Support Albedo, as it does give some precedent to getting DEF%/DEF substats. Not worth enough to replace Geo DMG% or CRIT values, but it makes getting DEF substats more tolerable (as your E proc’s and Q damage does increase).
