What're his crit stats and artifacts? I'm one geo cube fight away from having the materials to take him up to 70 so I wanna know what to aim for so I can also build towards those meaty crits as well but I don't know if I should go by the spreadsheet when every so often I see people talking about Defender's Will being good enough to pull that kinda stuff off with too.

My albedo does 9700 crits to enemies <50% hp, no geo resonance, no zhong li shield. Level 80 ascended, level 8 isotoma, 2132 defense, 69.9% crit rate with harbinger active, 140.1% crit damage, 2 Noblesse + 2 strayer (lol), def sands+geo goblet+def hat at 20, feather+flower at 16.

2 Petra 2 Noblesse or 4 Millelith would be better but nobody else wants def artifacts so you end up with amazing pieces in off sets. The 2 Noblesse is basically accidental because I farm that domain a lot I don't really care about his Q damage. The 2 strayer is for sure completely accidental.

Harbinger is Harbinger of Dawn (or HoD), a 3 star gacha sword that's the preferred weapon for most Albedos. At refinement 5 its passive gives an extra 28% crit rate when Albedo has >90% HP.

Def is a bit easier to stack than atk because a DEF helmet gives 1.2x as much DEF as an ATK helmet gives ATK (58% vs 48%).

can't you also use diona for that fight, if you have her? it just wants any shield, not a geo shield or a good one, and diona is a more generally useful character.

All the bitching about the event and the second domain made me curious, did it with my main team of razor, qiqi, noelle fine (I did have to throw xinqui in for those fire shields).

I'm sure the venti + ganyu combo makes it trivial, but it's totally doable with whatever your main dps is + good survivability.

Ganyu has 4-piece. The idea is that Mona and Venti keep everything constantly frozen, and Mona's attack buff allows Ganyu to hit like she is doing reverse melt DPS while having the CC of a freeze team. So

Man I wish I got Mona. Both my teams need XQ right now (Freeze Ganyu and Hu Tao) which is pushing me to get EULA for my next carry. Barbara ganyu wasn’t too bad for the last 11-2

Oh okay, just the sword. Right, I already have that on him refined and at 80. I was so lost because I thought it was a skill or something at first.

I mean to be fair, the closest I get is being 45 atk away from it on Razor and 165 away from it with Ningguang holding an atk catalyst instead of the Solar Pearl. But she has a full suite of lvl 20 artifacts and everything but the hourglass has atk% on it and she's still 372 away from 2k, I don't know how much more grinding it'd take to get anything better than what she's got even though it would be nice if she was tankier. 2pc Noblesse and Petra with an off set lavawalker for geo.

Well, I only have one more cube to fight before I can fully ascend Albedo, I guess once I do that one I'll swap to trying to grind artifacts for a couple weeks again instead of ignoring them since none of them were giving good substats I could use at the time.

Ning has a mediocre base damage so its hard to scale her atk rating to far and I'm assuming you are using eye of perception which has a very low base damage for a 4* so that helps less than you think. Albedo on the other hand gets a huge amount of base defense from leveling so it's much easier to get his def high by stacking def%.

5 stars in general get much higher base stats, a high level ganyu with usually have 250 more atk than a similar level ning or xiangling with the same artie set.

this is my albedo at 70 with defenders will and petra artifacts that lol I’ve never actually farmed I just had some crap leftover from getting a set of the other one. They aren’t good artifacts. I like Albedo a lot I love that he is an alt main character who doesn’t love field crap but numbers don’t mean anything he’s just a mess of a character the flower doesn’t work on friggin baby slopes I was so excited to be all mwahhh I’m zhongli I don’t loving climb I’m not gonna climb this small hill but then the stupid flower was poking a slight change in slope and wouldn’t elevator the ult not working without the flower is hyper dumb when they didn’t even bother checking if flower was spawning anywhere at all which it doesn’t also his mighty powerful oh heavens to Betsy 10k procs are like every three seconds or some shiy it just takes forever it’s not impressive like whoops doodsie boo. He’s a geo battery and that’s great but it’s sad he’s a bad character like nobody is ever mwauhahaha I had albedo out so I got to do this super awesome thing except sometimes I say that. One time I had albedo out and I got to jump over the wolf as it was charging and that was cool but the next time it didn’t work whatever.

He’s like my most used character whatever he’s terrible 5$3 worst character I use forever best.

My Def/Geo/Def(+16) fully stacked Whiteblind Noelle is only 2.4k Def, so it's very likely to be full Def, yep.

Also my highest ATK is Qiqi with 2.5k Atk, and that's with Crit rate circlet.

I will say, Geo goblet should give you a whole lot more damage, something like 20% more damage assuming identical substats (not a fair assumption ofc).

tbf Razor has been on banners and twice in the shop, he should be a fine example/suggestion. hell, i wouldn't have thought of using his immunity like that :shrug:

ultimately you have several options for the domain: suction into the circle, tank outside the circle, ranged DPS from within the circle, and any combination of those. that people hit on Venti/Zhongli/Ganyu as the best single slot examples for each strategy didn't make the domain bad or balanced around them. this stuff just always gets presented as annoying hyperbole (partially out of frustration, but cmon) and has been since way back during Unreconciled Stars where people thought Venti was essential for the star fragment fights.

Apparently WGS should be a bit better most of the time even assuming full Serpent Spine stacks. They're both weapons a lot of characters want, so it's a good pull.
