Getting started on your journey to obtain Albedo in Genshin Impact requires some careful planning and patience. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about acquiring this talented Geo character.
When Can You Wish for Albedo?
Albedo is a 5-star limited character, which means he’s only available during his specific banner reruns. Unlike standard banner characters, you can’t get Albedo at any time – you’ll need to wait for his rate-up banner to appear, which typically happens once or twice a year. Keep an eye on Genshin Impact’s official announcements to know when his next rerun is coming.
Preparing Your Primogems
Here’s the reality – you’ll need approximately 14,400 Primogems to guarantee getting Albedo. This accounts for the “pity system” where you’re guaranteed a 5-star character after 90 wishes. However, you might get lucky and pull him earlier! I’d recommend:
– Daily commissions (60 primogems per day)
– Events participation
– Spiral Abyss challenges
– Exploration and chest hunting
– Quest completion
Understanding the Pity System
Let me break this down in simple terms – your chances of getting Albedo increase significantly at around 75 wishes (soft pity) and you’re guaranteed a 5-star at 90 wishes (hard pity). If your last 5-star on the character banner wasn’t the featured character, then your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the banner character – in this case, Albedo.
Best Time to Pull
From my experience, it’s smart to wait until you have enough wishes saved up before his banner arrives. I’d suggest having at least 160 wishes ready if you want to guarantee getting him. Remember, the banners typically run for about three weeks, giving you some time to gather more Primogems during the banner period itself.
Making the Most of Your Albedo
Once you get Albedo, you’ll want to build him properly. He’s an excellent support character who can:
– Create powerful Geo constructs
– Generate shields through crystallize reactions
– Provide consistent off-field damage
– Support team damage through his Elemental Skill
Think of him as your team’s secret weapon – he might not be flashy, but he’s incredibly effective at enabling your other characters to perform better.
Remember, patience is key when saving for any 5-star character in Genshin Impact. Start saving your Primogems now, and you’ll be ready when Albedo’s banner returns. Trust me, he’s worth the wait!
