Albedo

Albedo is a 5-star Geo sword Sub-DPS. His Skill plants a Solar Isotoma that deals periodic off-field Geo Blossom damage scaling off his defense, and his Burst hits a wide area. He fits low-investment Geo and off-field damage teams.

How to Play

Build defense and pair him with other Geo units for resonance, letting his Isotoma tick while a carry takes the field. See his placement on the Genshin tier list.
