Till 2023 October, there have been twi wish events to get Alhaitham in Genshin Impact:
1st: Caution in Confidence from January 18, 2023 to February 7, 2022;
2nd: Caution in Confidence from June 13, 2023 to July 4, 2023.
Normal Attack
Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Rushes forward, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents when the rush ends, causing a Chisel-Light Mirror to form.
Holding this skill will cause it to behave differently.
Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the direction of Alhaitham’s rush attack.
Chisel-Light Mirror
When this skill is unleashed, Alhaitham will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. If there are no Mirrors at this time, he will generate 1 additional Mirror. Chisel-Light Mirrors will have the following properties:
Creates a Particular Binding Field and deals multiple instances of AoE Dendro DMG.
If Chisel-Light Mirrors exist when this ability is unleashed, all such Mirrors will be consumed and increase the number of DMG instances dealt.
2s after this ability is unleashed, if 0/1/2/3 Mirrors were consumed, Alhaitham will generate 3/2/1/0 new Mirrors in turn.
When Alhaitham’s Charged or Plunging Attacks hit opponents, they will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. This effect can be triggered once every 12s.
Each point of Alhaitham’s Elemental Mastery will increase the DMG dealt by Projection Attacks and Particular Field:
Fetters of Phenomena by 0.1%.
The maximum DMG increase this way for both these abilities is 100%.
When Alhaitham crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product.
When a Projection Attack hits an opponent, Universality: An Elaboration on Form’s CD is decreased by 1.2s. This effect can be triggered once every 1s.
When Alhaitham generates a Chisel-Light Mirror, his Elemental Mastery will be increased by 50 for 8 seconds, max 4 stacks. Each stack’s duration is counted independently. This effect can be triggered even when the maximum number of Chisel-Light Mirrors has been reached.
Increases the Level of Universality: An Elaboration on Form by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena is unleashed, the following effects will become active based on the number of Chisel-Light Mirrors consumed and created this time around:
The pre-existing duration of the aforementioned effects will be cleared if you use Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena again while they are in effect.
Increases the Level of Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Alhaitham gains the following effects:
It’s very useful to have a Dendro support in Alhaitham’ team – Nahida is ideal.
You could also run Alhaitham alongside an Electro and Hydro character to create a Hyperbloom team. Kuki Shinobu would be a perfect fit for Electro, and Raiden Shogun would also fit, though lacks Kuki’s healing.
With the correct execution – if you can apply Hydro slowly enough – you could run this as a high-damage Quickbloom (Quicken and Hyperbloom) team. Xingqiu could be a good choice for Hydro, but may be tricky to execute Quickbloom with as he applies Hydro fast, especially if he’s C6.
Alhaitham
Alhaitham works amazing with Hyperbloom & Spread Comps.
Nahida
Nahida can provide additional EM and DMG for the team.
Kuki Shinobu
Kuki Shinobu are great off-field Electro for consistent activation of Spread and Hyperbloom.
Xingqiu
Xingqiu is the main enabler, allowing consistent production of Bloom Orbs and additional damage as well.
When talking about the best weapon for Alhaitham, his signature weapon –Light of Foliar Incision naturally is the first option.
Primordial Jade Cutter, Mistplitter Reforged, and Haran Geppaku Futsu are excellent 5-star options.
Base ATK 542 | CRIT DMG 19.2% (88.2%)
Whitemoon Bristle
CRIT Rate is increased by 4~8%. After Normal Attacks deal Elemental DMG, the Foliar Incision effect will be obtained, increasing DMG dealt by Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills by 120~240% of Elemental Mastery.
This effect will disappear after 28 DMG instances or 12s. You can obtain Foliar Incision once every 12s.
Base ATK 542 | CRIT Rate 9.6% (44.1%)
Protector’s Virtue
HP increased by 20~40%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2~2.4% of the wielder’s Max HP.
Base ATK 674 | CRIT DMG 9.6% (44.1%)
Mistsplitter’s Edge
Gain a 12~24% Elemental DMG Bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter’s Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter’s Emblem provides a 8/16/28~16/32/56% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character’s Elemental Type.
The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter’s Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full).
Each stack’s duration is calculated independently.
Base ATK 608 | CRIT Rate 7.2% (33.1%)
Honed Flow
Obtain 12~24% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack.
Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20~40% for 8s.
Base ATK 401 | CRIT DMG 10.2% (46.9%)
Vigorous
When HP is above 90%, increases CRIT Rate by 14~28%.
Base ATK 510 | CRIT Rate 6%
(27.6%)
Justice
Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 20~40%.
Additionally, regenerates 60~100% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s.
Deepwood Memories is likely the best artifact set for Alhaitham, but if you have a support character on his team who can make use of it instead, like Nahida or Kuki Shinobu, it’s better to put it on them and use the Gilded Dreams 4pc on Alhaitham.
