	Weapon	Weapon Information	Notes
1st	Cinnabar Spindle	Base ATK: 454 Bonus Stat: DEF 69.0% Skill Effect: Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 40% of DEF. The effect will be triggered no more than once every 1.5s and will be cleared 0.1s after the Elemental Skill deals DMG.	An event-exclusive 4-star sword that is Albedo's best weapon, since albedo is the only sword-user with an elemental skill that scales with DEF.
2nd	Harbinger of Dawn	Base ATK: 401 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 46.9% Skill Effect: When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14%.	An easily obtainable weapon and is his best F2P option. Having a team healer is definitely recommended to keep Albedo's HP above 90%.
3rd	Wolf-Fang	Base ATK: 510 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 27.6% Skill Effect: DMG dealt by Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst is increased by 16%. When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, its CRIT Rate will be increased by 2%. When an Elemental Burst hits an opponent, its CRIT Rate will be increased by 2%. Both of these effects last 10s separately, have 4 max stacks, and can be triggered once every 0.1s.	Although slightly better than Harbinger of Dawn at R5 (which will cost you about $50), the difference is small.
4th	Primordial Jade Cutter	Base ATK: 542 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 44.1% Skill Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder’s Max HP.
5th	Haran Geppaku Futsu	Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 33.1% Skill Effect: Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s.	A good alternative to Harbinger of Dawn without needing to stay above 90% HP, though not recommended to pull for them just for Albedo.
5th	Light of Foliar Incision	Base ATK: 542 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 88.2% Skill Effect: CRIT Rate is increased by 4%. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Incision once every 12s.

Best Artifacts

1st	Husk of Opulent Dreams x4	2-PC: DEF +30% 4-PC: A character equipped with this Artifact set will obtain the Curiosity effect in the following conditions: When on the field, the character gains 1 stack after hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, triggering a maximum of once every 0.3s. When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times, each providing 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus. When 6 seconds pass without gaining a Curiosity stack, 1 stack is lost.	Albedo will gain Curiosity when he casts his E (Transient Blossoms). Additionally this set buffs Albedo's DEF and Geo DMG, both stats that increase his Elemental Skill DMG.
1st	Golden Troupe x4	2-PC: Elemental Skill DMG +20% 4-PC: Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 25%. Additionally when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG will be further increased by 25%. This effect will be cleared 2s after taking the field.	The 4pc effect would give Albedo a 70% Skill DMG, and puts it on par with a 4pc Husk.
2nd	Husk of Opulent Dreams x2 Golden Troupe x2	2-PC: DEF +30%	Although a 4pc Husk or Golden Troupe set is recommended, this is a good backup option if you don't have 4 good pieces to make a set.
2nd	Husk of Opulent Dreams x2 Golden Troupe x2	2-PC: Elemental Skill DMG +20%
