i’m happy that he isn’t a hypercarru like Scaramoche or Itto. Most flexible DPS are successful like Ganyu, Raiden, Hu Tao. I can already see him being great with Yae and in some really fun and unique team comps.
He literally makes a second sword for his off-hand out of pure dendro essence. Kinda how childe makes water blades with hydro essence.
Nice touch.
Pitty my account already has a lot of dps characters and i need support characters instead.
I think I will just stick to Tighnari.
hmmm interesting kit.. still kinda confusing though.. the diamond leaf gimmick..
but will be testing him real time when he comes out later..
TF on Ai'er Haisen must be interesting.. to keep up the Dendro Infusion or those diamond leaves..
Hopefully he doesn’t get nerfed – his numbers look good rn but I can’t imagine hoyo will keep them that way
If show leak, does mean Hoyoverse gonna take down those information not official announcement yet?
What about haran?
Wondering whether I should pull for ayato or Al Haitham definitely going to be pulling for raiden
Kind of disappointed. He's skills looks like Keqing 2.0
Does his infusion stay when he switches like Diluc and Noelle?
Is table here also not include spread reaction?
which artifact to run
People on comments should Stop comparing my boy with Loser Bitch keqing. Its an insult to the dendro king
The totem erasing mechanic was terrible with Yae Miko, I don't know why would they bring it back for another character.
I wanna use him for a Hyperbloom Team. I hope it’s possible.
I’m thinking:
– Alhaitham
– Raiden
– Xingqiu
– Yaoyao (healer)
or
– Alhaitham
– Fischl
– Kokomi (healer)
– Nahida
or
– Alhaitham
– Xingqiu
– Kuki (healer)
– Fischl/Yelan
(I gotta have a healer in any team comp)
Thanks for the calculation! What about harbringer of dawn? It gives huge amount of cr, cd… so I think it could be very strong
i go for hu tao
guys can someone tell me about his weapon's passive ? i was searching everywhere but couldn't find it , plz anyway just tell me
Is it worth trying for his signature if I already have Mistsplitter ?
Thanks for your calculation. What about Summit Shaper? He use atk an EM both So I want to know Summit Shaper
is summit shaper good for him?
Sadly, he feels copy past they should have made him more unique
How is blackcliff on him?
Ofc another disappointment. I was really expecting dendro characters to have some really sick attacks with flowers vines plants leaves but no. They only give us green squares and dust that’s literally so boring I was waiting for cool poison Ivy moves and stuff like that
The dual wielding sold me already
Since he's a scribe for the Academia, it would make perfect sense if his passive was refunding the crafted talent books. But it would also be good if his passive is similar to tighnari, it would be soo good for exploration since I'm planing to get him
Could you theoretically build him EM and defense to utilize Cinnabar Spindle effectively?
does anyone know what his base atk is tho
Hello! Thank you for the explanation <3 Just a confirmation however, the maximum his infusion can last is 10 seconds right?
I see a lot of people saying that more mirrors = more projections, but from what I saw in the leaked gameplay the amount of mirrors only changes the animation. You still get one projection every 1.6 seconds even with 2 or 3 mirrors.
Is that NieR music i hear?
He seems to be enabler DPS, I'm confused by his kit, besides his cooldown for E and Q is in my view too long. It will be hard to balance ER EM ATT% CR CD (5 stats to balance) + Dendro dammage bonus, well I hope they will change in beta test
Hi, what you think of using haitam with Mistspliter with 250 EM and 50/150 balance using 2 dendros on the team, the other dendro is nahida with gilded dreams with 1k EM, im still thinking of the other 2 on the team, but I Wonder this temporary build its actually functional, also I still have a lot of time to farm and improve the build and since this comes from a beta server it can change
I have the craziest idea what if I pair him with keqing along with kazuha and fischl?
Fun fact: His mirror attack actually have special ICD of 2 hit / 12s. Which you can Spread for every 2 mirror attack, thus highly recommended always keeping at least 2 mirror stacks on him to proc Spread every activation
If you only have 1 mirror stack, you can only trigger Spread every 3.2s, that's terrible application so I will recommend to switch him out the moment you only have 1 stack left, or at least right after you trigger a Spread during 1 stack duration rather than keep attacking
what about haran?
I sincerely didn't get it, how PJC is better (almost similar to) than Mistsplitter? 🥺 I thought Mist would always win
