Talented alchemist and wielder of a Vision, Albedo is one of the most interesting characters in the game so far.
Albedo is the Chief alchemist and Captain of the Investigation Team of the Knights of Favonious. He’s a character that made his first appearance in the 2.0 version. He is a calm, talented, and powerful support in any team. Albedo possesses a Geo vision, which is interesting to know due to the fact that he’s a Homunculus.
Albedo is also one of the few characters so far that are not hard to build because they can use artifacts with Defense % sub-stats and main stats. With this in mind, let’s see what are his best builds.
5. Max Defense
(Check minute 6:34 to see what it looks like)
As was mentioned earlier, Albedo can be built with Defense % artifacts. This first build consists of two pieces of the Scholar and two pieces of the Archaic Petra sets. This will maximize your defense with albedo as much as possible, doing more damage with his elemental skill.
What “Max Defense” excels in:
- Excellent for early Adventure Ranks, Scholar’s set does not have 5-star artifacts, so you don’t have to worry about perfect artifacts.
- Because this build needs Defense, for the most part, you don’t have to farm artifacts that much.
Build Details:
- Circlet: Crit. Damage / Crit. Rate / Defense %.
- Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus %.
- Sands: Defense %.
- Plume: Attack (This is invariable).
- Flower: HP (This is invariable).
- Aim for these Substats: Crit. Damage, Crit. Rate, Defense %, Attack %.
- Best weapons: Harbinger of Dawn, Festering Desire, Traveler’s Handy Sword.
4. Tenacity of the Homunculus
(Check minute 0:50 to see what it looks like)
This is an interesting build for Albedo, the way it works is by activating constantly the 4 piece effect of the Tenacity of the Milellith set, although the two-piece effect is not the big deal on Albedo, it still works well on him.
What “Tenacity of the Homunculus” excels in:
- Constant 20% Attack bonus for your whole team while Albedo’s Solar Isotoma (Elemental Skill) is on field and if it hits an enemy.
- Extra shield strength increased by 30%, making the shards you pick up from elemental reactions with Geo stronger.
Build Details:
- Circlet: Crit. Damage / Crit. Rate.
- Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus %.
- Sands: Defense % or Attack %.
- Plume: Attack (This is invariable).
- Flower: HP (This is invariable).

- Best weapons: Harbinger of Dawn, Festering Desire, Traveler’s Handy Sword.
3. Geo DPS
(Check minute 0:34 to see what it looks like)
Yes, Albedo is played mostly as a Support, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t be a great DPS, specifically a “Burst DPS”. He can cause serious damage with his ult, and although the damage of his Elemental Skill scales based on his defense, you still get nice supplemental damage from it.
What “Geo DPS” excels in:
- Excellent Geo Damage from his burst.
- Because ultimate has a very low cost of Energy, you can spam it all the time.
Build Details:
- Circlet: Crit. Damage / Crit. Rate.
- Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus %.
- Sands: Attack %.
- Plume: Attack (This is invariable).
- Flower: HP (This is invariable).
- Aim for these Substats: Crit. Damage, Crit. Rate, Attack %, Defense% or Energy Recharge %.
- Best weapons: Mistsplitter Reforged, Summit Shaper, Primordial Jade Cutter, Festering Desire, Harbinger of Dawn.
2. Elemental Amplifier
(Check minute 2:48 to see what it looks like)
The Elemental Amplifier build shines for team compositions where you have two characters of the same element, although it’s not a must, if you pay attention to detail it will work just as well with various elements in your team. For this build, you will use four pieces of the Archaic Petra set.
What “Elemental Amplifier” excels in:
- Thanks to this build Albedo gains a nice 18% Geo DMG bonus.
- When you pick up an elemental shard created by Crystallize, all characters gain a nice35% Damage bonus for the element of the shield during 10 seconds.
Build Details:
- Circlet: Crit. Damage / Crit. Rate.
- Goblet: Geo DMG Bonus %.
- Sands: Defense %.
- Plume: Attack (This is invariable).
- Flower: HP (This is invariable).
- Aim for these Substats: Crit. Damage, Crit. Rate, Defense %, Attack% or Energy Recharge %.
- Best weapons: Mistsplitter Reforged, Summit Shaper, Festering Desire, Harbinger of Dawn.
1. Chief Alchemist
(Check minute 2:02 to see what it looks like)
This one suits the average Albedo playstyle because you will mostly use his Elemental Skill and his Burst once it’s fully charged, two pieces of the Archaic Petra set and two Pieces of the Noblesse Oblige set is what this build consists of.
What “Chief Alchemist” excels in
- Geo Damage bonus from Archaic Petra set.
- The elemental Burst Damage bonus from the Noblesse Oblige, balancing well the damage between his ultimate and his Elemental Skill.
