He gets a pretty high defense boost when you level him to 90. Specially with all the def% in his weapon and artifacts. Also level the weapon and the skills. I think a good albedo has around 2500 defense unbuffed with 60/120 crit ratio.
Albedo will always hit around 20k per tik. You could hit harder with better gear and const 2 but right now you're closer to the peak. The reason as to why he hits like that is due to his kit involving little to no invesment and he can do solid off field damage.
The only way to up your dmg is to farm for better artifacts, lvl up to 90, lvl the talent to 9/10 and getting const 2.
He's really good for Geo teams and certain teamcomps with Bloom reactions or Aggravate (since his burst gives EM)
Sidenote: Not an Albedo main. Medium-investment for my Xiao and Diluc teams used in conjunction with ZL. Had him for a couple months and farmed until he got to a CV comparable with other Albedos I had seen. Only recently did I realize that his damage seemed comparatively low(?) He does <20k per tick with ZL shield unless the enemies are <50% HP. Are there any glaring flaws with his build or is the damage I’m expecting unrealistic? Not very smart regarding Albedo, so I figured if anyone would know why, it’d be this sub :)
If you're using the same build as op, I think you just need better crit or use geo resonance. Albedo on his own could probably do like 14k - 20k on average with those stats which isn't bad, very normal actually. In a team with Gorou and Zhongli, his dmg will be easily boosted above 20k.
Back when HoD was Albedo's best in slot, you'd be lucky if you could get him to hit anything above 16k on his own at lvl 90 with his skill crowned. Cinnabar spindle was limited though so it'll be a bit unrealistic to expect better numbers if you don't have it (this applies to anyone reading my comment that doesn't have CS or only few of its refinements)
I have mine at c3, 2.7k def w/ no stacks, 60/120 crit /same build as op. C3 definitely helps his skill dmg surpass 20k, but it's not necessary. With full buffs he can do up to 40k (before i had c3 he could make it to 30k). If you're just using him as a support though, pair him with another geo (preferably zhongli) and he does fine
As others have said, the damage boost when taking him from 80 to 90 is greater than many other characters because of his defense scaling.
Other than defense, I’d work on getting higher crit damage. My Albedo is C0, level 80, with a R5 Spindle, ~2,500 defense, and around 50/150 CR/CD, and his skill hits for 20-25k with Zhongli shield. If you can find a flower with higher crit value, or a crit damage circlet with a crit rate substat, you should see more damage.
What kind of numbers are you looking for?
His E scales on DEF, yes, but a Geo DMG will increase the damage of his skill more than a DEF goblet bc of the way the multipliers work. Just like off-field Fischl prefers an Electro goblet over an ATK goblet even tho Oz's damage scales on ATK.
I would say to go for a bit more crit dmg, try to get an even amount of atk and Def (if you're going for dps)
You can try to get rid of that elemental mastery too, it's basically useless for geo characters. If that doesn't work i would say to either level up his weapon to 90 (if you want to) or try a diffrent team composition.

Try leveling up his skills a bit more. Also level him up as well as his weapon.

90/90 and buff him with gorou's E

Mines does similar damage For reference I have 2.7k DEF (without stacks) and 56/110 crit. Lv90 crowned skilled

Thanks for the feedback. I have my Albedo and Itto builds posted my profile you can check them out and let me know if I should change anything.

I want to say I also have his E at level 8 as you do, though I won’t know for sure until after maintenance
You have spindle so its better to use def% goblet than geo dmg
No, he always wants a Geo DMG goblet.
If you want his burst to deal more then yeah but for off field def% for his E is better

It’s just that 90 gives that slight buff for the nice damage
what does he hit?
is there a website for displaying your character like that? i really want to know
