Albedo looks to be a fairly low investment support character, which is good news for those who have been sucked dry by Childe/Zhongli on their banners, or those who are saving for Ganyu.
For weapons, it appears we have a special guest appearance of a 3 star weapon!
The Harbinger of Dawn is a 3 star weapon with pretty good passive and substats. It comes with a drawback, which is that your HP must be above 90%, but Albedo does his damage off-field and should be at full HP all the time anyway!
Free CRIT stats all around!
The free event weapon (if you were playing in 1.2) Festering Desire is also a great choice. Increasing his Elemental Skill DMG and CRIT affects his Blossom damage.
Artifacts
Artifact-wise, Albedo should go for a 2-piece Petra set for the 15% Geo DMG bonus. The other 2-piece set can range from Noblesse Oblige (burst damage), 2-piece Defender's Will (4* max), or a 4-piece Petra for extra supporting capabilities.
Main stats should go with a CRIT stat helm, Geo DMG goblet, and DEF sands, with substats into DEF and CRIT stats wherever possible.
Do note that stacking DEF allows for high Elemental Skill damage with low investment, but your Elemental Burst remains weak unless you have a C2 Albedo.
Conclusions
Albedo's investment is low relative to his utility output, but his damage ceiling likewise remains low. He will be useful for those looking for a flexible and versatile support that can fit in any team, but not for those who are looking for a high investment high return support like Xingqiu or even Fischl.
