Albedo is a 5-star Geo Sword character. He was first added in Genshin Impact version 1.2 in the "Secretum Secretorum" banner that ran from December 23, 2020 to January 12, 2021. His kit might show his age, but he can still be a core part of your team.
Albedo's Talents (Abilities)
Albedo's abilities allow him to deal consistent Geo damage and support other characters effectively:
- Normal Attack: Favonius Bladework - Weiss: Performs up to 5 rapid strikes. Charged Attack consumes Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. Plunging Attack plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
- Elemental Skill: Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma: Creates a Solar Isotoma, dealing AoE Geo DMG. When enemies within the Solar Isotoma zone are hit, it generates Transient Blossoms, which deal AoE Geo DMG. The Solar Isotoma is Albedo's "elevator," and can lift characters to a certain height. It is considered a Geo construct and only one can exist at a time.
