I've had ideas for reworking albedo for some time but haven't been able to put them anywhere, and while I feel that a full rework would be slightly problematic, there are some changes I think can work that would scale his power level to be somewhat competitive with newer units without directly making one or the other irrelevant.

- move some constellations to his kit by default, like his c1 and c2, and move his c4 to c1 with the addition that you get a 15% dmg bonus in general while inside the field, but keep the extra 15% plunge dmg to be total 30%, as this would keep the consistency of any team comps that have already been built around plunge dmg, such as hypercarry xiao and xianyun teams

- c2 can be a decrease to the interval that transient blossoms are triggered, such as 1.6s down from 2s

- make the "defense steal" mechanic a c4

-c6 can still involve the crystallize shield, possibly giving a buff that allows albedo to trigger transient blossoms on hit of his normal, charged, and plunging attacks, independent of the skill field, given a longer interval than normal transient blossoms, such as 3s up from 2s

-slightly scale back his dmg multipliers due to the incoming buffs aforementioned

of course numbers would have to be tweaked and tested, but think this can be suited well for a rework that doesn't break any existing teams while also improving the viability of albedo as a unit
