  1. Do we ever really “need” any characters?

    Difficult to justify pulling anyone just for their usefulness if people are 36ing abyss with the starters. If it’s less about their utility, then we should just admit to ourselves that picking up characters is based purely on our preferences. (You mostly have already made your mind before watching comparison videos. Not saying they aren’t useful and fun but we are basically biased towards someone from the start.)

    I already have a C3 Keqing, lvl 20 never used, have no interest in building or playing with her (Sorry W). And a very invested lvl 90 Tighnari I love to have on my teams.
    Still went for the Scribe.

  2. Well, at C0 I have more fun playing Al Haitham. No doubt Hu Tao is good, but hard to play. And it is not for me. I would need to get her C1 to want to play her. But I benched her and called it a day. Guess I paid for giving into the hype.

  3. I agree with this video, but i'm amazed with hu tao performance until now, she was released like 2 years ago and she's still being one of the best unit to meta perspective. And she's even getting stronger with yelan's presence since 2.7. Ppl who love & main her are definitely blessed since her released date.

    Alhaitham is the new strong unit that we can also expected him to be better and better in the future.

    I'm glad for both of them anyway…

  4. they do 2 similar things, alhaitham has better pull value in general but comparing them like this is dumb, u were getting clowned for doing some questionabke things and u deserved it tbh, alhaithams hyperbloom teams can maaaaaaaybe outdps well invested hu tao in her best team, in terms of their actual dmg % they are doing in a team, in hyperbloom, alhaithams total dmg is not the majority of the team, which is the same with hu tao in for example hu tao xingqiu yelan fischl comp, overall tho he is better pull than her in most scenarious cuz of his versatility and how well he gets in the team

  5. Being new I guess Alhaitham is better Xinqui Lisa and Yao Yao are not much or not even dependant on constellations, while with Hu-tao I think you need more build 4* especially Xinqui since you rely on vape to reach her ceiling(feel free to correct me I don't have her)

  6. Tldr: IMO (whos better)
    Both C0, alhaitham,
    C0 R1 alhaitham,
    C1 R1 Same performance
    Whale, hutao coz pairing her with C6 yelan, no brainer.

    For your comparison, C0R1 alhaitham with 4 star weapons team (kuki, nahida C0, yelan) clears in 45 sec on PMA abyss.

  7. Hu Tao doesn't have the higher ceiling. Hyperbloom Alhaitham's dps calcs 2k lower than Hu Tao double hydro's in single target. It destroys her in aoe. Spread Alhaitham beats her in both at peak investment (but it is an investment heavy team to get online, and probably not worth it for most players compared to hyperbloom and quickbloom.)

  8. IMO Hu Tao is better. While Al Haitham has the higher floor Hu Tao has the higher ceiling much like Childe vs Ayato. F2p levels Childe wins but Ayato destroys Childe the more investment you have. Hu Tao double hydro, with a C6 Hu Tao and C6 Yelan simply does more dmg because, its C6 Hu Tao and C6 Yelan. Its more worth vertically investing in Hu Tao.

  9. Hu Tao is easily the best pyro dps in Genshin.
    Alhaitham is the second best Dendro (after Nahida).

    Pretty much the only challenging fights are some of the boss fights, as most teams can clear trash packs easily enough. Hu Tao works best against bosses.

    With Dehya likely to be absolute trash, I think Hu Tao will continue to be one of the best characters in the game.

  10. Another thing to consider is Hu Tao really wants her C1 to not be annoying to play. Alhaitham is perfectly capable at C0.

    I'm not saying people shouldn't get Hu Tao, but if you don't already have her, be prepared to commit all the way to C1 if you're going to go for her and really enjoy her. Meanwhile in the same number of pulls you could get both Alhaitham, AND Yelan which open up so many more possibilities for your account.

    Hu Tao is very much an all or nothing character I think. Totally worth it though if you're a total Hu Tao simp like I once was (C1 plus Homa here lol).

  11. So if you steal Al’s mirror. Would that be tantamount to stealing his identity? Dose Al need Nord?! @eroticwalruss this is the perfect time to cue in that Nord ad! Get on that sponsor stat!!👍🏿🇺🇦🇭🇹🇾🇪

  12. If newer players aren’t at least in sumeru yet. Don’t pull alhaitham. I made a new account got him and now have to do the entire story to level him which is gonna suck

    Reply
  13. if it was only alhaitham vs hutao id probably go for alhaitham, but since 4* play into account on pulling and I dont have either xingqiu or beidou yet, ima go for hutao I suppose

    Reply
  14. Alhaitham is good and everything but I only have 1 nahida. Nilou wants her yae wants her cyno wants her. Will Alhaitham be able to compare to hutao at all without nahida in team?

    Reply
  15. Thank you for understanding, I had a trigger finger problem from using Hu Tao 2 yearts ago playing only on mobile it damages the nerves, I liked her but there was no replacement for her and I had to drop her as mdps. Al Haitham is the one that does a good replacement for me.

  16. Alhaitham has more flexibility the Hutao, I have used him on a team spread team, a hyperbloom team and burgeon team (I don't have Nilou for bloom), Xingqiu/Yelan are great choices as the hydro for hyperbloom and burgeon (but that is the same as vape for Hutao), but overall Alhaitham has a lot of 4 star and 5 star character options for teammates. So if you want a character that is strong but is not limited to basically one team, Alhaitham is a good choice and he does not need Nahida like some claim, I have Nahida, but in the abyss, I use her and Alhaitham on different halves and the Alhaitham team does not fall behind at all. (Hutao is one of my favourite characters btw, but I am really enjoying Alhaitham.)

  17. My Hutao is at C0. I've never bothered learning animation cancel. I've gotten 36 stars in abyss in all cycles in the last 1 year I've played Genshin. Given how abyss is, I don't think anyone needs to get reach her maximum damage potential to reach it.

  18. Ive been planing on hu tao for a while but then we were introduced to alhaitham and i was considering pulling him until his release, i didnt end up liking his playstyle. He is very uncomfortable to play for me and i dont find him enjoyable so ill stick with hu tao

    Reply
  19. Yeah, pretty much agreed on all of these. I have C0R1 Alhaitham, and his team crushes my C6R1 Hu Tao team. Even if we say it's because of Abyss buff, the C6 investment shouldn't lag that far behind. Granted, I have C2 Nahida cons that supports may Alhaitham, but I also have C6 XQ and C1 Yelan supporting my Hu Tao which also deals a lot of damage. I'm vaping Hu Tao with 90-120k DMG per CA at least, but Alhaitham is able to catch up due to the fact that he stays longer in the field.

    But apparently, the thing that makes the big difference is the way Alhaitham applies damage. It is overall better than Hu Tao, probably because it has a bit bigger AoE, and has very flexible rotations.

  20. Question: I started playing at 2.7, my account have 11 five stars and 30 four stars, am I still considered newer player? Haven't been able to clear abyss. Playing as Xiao main (pogo team with Zhongli), and sometimes Keqing. Missed (lose 50/50) Nahida and Raiden.. 🤔

    Reply
  21. Haha, fun. I was saving my guaranteed for Hu Tao… aand then I fell in love w Yaoyao and wanted her cons (I did not mind getting 1 Alhaitham)… now here I am w C2 Alhaitham and C6 Yaoyao, and I don't regret it at all. Both at lvl 70 w lvl 70 weapons just carried me through the new abyss.

  22. I love it when they decide to make another character whose downside is basically their playstyle difficulty. More often than not it means that they're very well rounded otherwise, one example being Alhaitham.
