Genshin Impact 2.3 Update: How Good Is the Cinnabar Spindle With Albedo

The 2.3 update is finally out for Genshin Impact and players are enjoying it for now. They are patiently waiting for the release of the next part of the Dragonspine story quest and to find the person impersonating Albedo. Furthermore, new players want Albedo to be in their team because of his attractive design and new buffs.

Unlike Zhongli, Albedo didn’t receive any changes in his kit; however, with the release of a new artifact set and four-star weapon, his worth has now increased. Moreover, the new four-star weapon is free for users by taking part in the event and they can even refine it to the maximum level. Continue reading to find more about how broken Cinnabar Spindle is for Albedo.

DIVE DEEPER- Genshin Impact 2.3 Update: Here’s How the Upcoming Artifact Sets Could Change the Meta

Albedo becomes broken after the release of Cinnabar Spindle in Genshin Impact

Unlike other five-star characters, Albedo didn’t have his signature weapon since his release back in the 1.3 update. The only viable weapon for him was a three-star weapon, Harbinger of Dawn, that provided additional Crit Rate and Crit DMG. However, miHoYo has now released a great four-star weapon, Cinnabar Spindle, that unlocks his maximum potential.

The passive of Cinnabar Spindle states,” Elemental Skill DMG is increased by 80% 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.” Furthermore, the weapon also provides an additional 69.0% DEF, which is perfect for Albedo.

Since most of Albedo’s damage scales from his defense; thus, the four-star weapon increases his damage both from sub-stat and passive. In addition to that, the elemental skill damage will also depend on increased defense that the weapon provides. Interestingly, Albedo’s elemental skill has a very little cooldown. Therefore, dealing more frequent increased damage won’t be a problem with the help of Cinnabar Spindle.

After the release of Cinnabar Spindle and Husk of Opulent Dreams, Albedo’s viability has increased significantly. Hence, many players are planning to pull him as he won’t require much investment, unlike other characters. What are your thoughts on Albedo? Let us know in the comments down below.
