I need some wish advice and I weirdly think my Albedomains buddies will be the most impartial, since you all know the ins and outs of his kit so well.

So, ok, here's the setup: I saved a ton of wishes in order to get C2 Albedo, but I was very lucky and he came home very early. I'm at the point where if I were to liquify my star glitter, I would have 210 wishes right now.

Albedo is obviously my favorite character here in the game. I love using him. He has increased my joy playing this game for sure. My other two favorite characters are Fischl (C6) and Zhongli (C1) and I feel as though those 3 will be on my team for the rest of my Genshin time.

My original plans, to wish for Yae, feel like they have fallen through. She's not going to be a healer, and my team needs a healer, thanks to Corruption and future sources of True Damage. I have considered giving her Prototype Amber, but that's not great. I think I need to give up on her, and...I'm not that upset, so, it's probably the right move.

Anyway, I need a healer on the team, but I don't like Kokomi and there are no other leaked healers any time soon, so, I basically have all of the options already (I'm mostly using Qiqi, right now, but I feel like Barbara or Noelle would be just fine as well). I don't really love any of the current healers. I'm not excited to play any of them, so, it feels bad, but necessary. So, that means the only people I really need to wish on for the next, like 6 months or more, are Albedo and Zhongli.

Because Albedo is my favorite character in the game, my friend thinks I should just throw all the wishes into Albedo right now, while he's here. C3 would boost my damage by almost 45% of my 3k DEF, which is pretty significant. C4 feels pointless. C5 is decent since I do actually use the Burst on cooldown. And of course, C6 is great. I don't expect to get C6 with just 210 more wishes, but hey, it could happen. There's some temptation there, admittedly, to just wish the rest of the way, because I will always be using Albedo from here on out and it certainly makes a statement about how much I like him.

However, I feel like it might be better for my team overall to throw every wish into every Zhongli rerun until I can get C6. C6 Albedo boosts E and Q and makes Albedo's whole team deal more damage, sure. But Zhongli C6 (on top of better damage, getting shields on Q, and increasing petrification duration) makes him into a healer, which doesn't just make the team better, it means I can dump the "just ok" healer slot entirely and put another dps or support unit in there, someone I like a lot more (Rosaria, for example, maybe Xinyan, Yanfei, the Traveler, or I could just start considering new dps characters like Yae at that point).

My friend's counter argument is basically:

1) Immediate gratification via having more Albedo right now vs. an uncertain Zhongli rerun date in the future.

2) "Freeing up the healing slot" means, most likely, just throwing in some 4 star character (since I am picky), and given the ones I like, they are unlikely to add significantly more damage than Qiqi already provides via the Clam set.

3) I like Albedo more, so, if I C6 any 5 star, it should be him, first. Plus, he believes Zhongli will have more reruns than Albedo more rapidly because he is more popular in general.

What do you guys think? Is Albedo worth taking to higher constellations than C2? Is it more worthwhile than Zhongli constellations?
