Alhaitham is the new 5-star Dendro DPS released in Genshin Impact 3.4, but it can be difficult to learn Alhaitham’s gameplay and get his best damage. This beginner to advanced Alhaitham guide discusses how to best use his Chisel Light Mirrors and optimize his attack combos. This also covers maximizing his Spread reaction DMG, ICD, and even Quickswap rotations and combos to try. #GenshinImpact #Alhaitham #Genshin

Alhaitham Theme EXTENDED (tnbee)

As a AR60 player, i still wish Mihoyo created a simple training dummy to hit, either in a seperate domain , or in our teapot. I mean Masanori works, but i just want an immovable object to test my combos on, instead of chasing someone or having to restart a domain or abyss everytime
Sevvy: "more time on contemplation, less time on execution. Simple, right?"
me: not really
Thanks for doing a deep dive into this! I've been dreading figuring it out for myself lmao.
This guy is more closure to childe in playsytle then kequig.
Seems like its more troublesme with controller because of character CD.
Thank you for specifying what "High ping" was. I live in a country where 200 ping can be just normal.
such a well made video!! Thanks Sevy!
My Kuki is only C0 and my ping is not good always. So i am not able to get good amount of Kuki electro application throughout Alhaitham’s on field window. Which combo/playstyle is good for quick bloom version?
If you ever wanted to quick swap into him for his burst this is the combo I use.
Fast Hold E and lift ever so slightly( about headshot height) to trigger plunge – Q
Not great for energy but sometimes you just need to pop things for as much damage as you can.
Would using his skill straight after his burst be a way to use his C1 for a longer 3-mirror field time?
Clearly there's no personal bias, is there sevy? 😂
me who has childe, cyno, and alhaitham: 😰😰😰
I do charged attacks then plunge with E and when all mirrors are used i use his burst to regain my mirrors
Then there's this Hu Tao who one shots almost everything. Ez Pz!
omgg this was exactly the vid I wanted thanks a lot for this guide!!! I really wanted to optimise my rotations but didn’t know how
thank you for such a detailed guide. I'm having a headache now, that's way too much micro-managing to do. I guess i'll just do his burst, then Beidou's burst, then back to him and do 3N 1C combos
Did you guys know you can plunge attack with Alhaitham and gain 3 mirrors without pointing your E to the sky and therefore wasting the initial hit damage?
He does a slight elevation whenever he teleports (unlike Keqing who stays on the same altitude the stiletto is) so even if you deadass target your E on the ground, you can still do a plunge.
Ngl his gameplay is so fun. Personally i love do many experiments on various characters. I use zhongli-raiden-alhaitam-dendro traveler for spread reaction. I rarely use their burst (except for traveler to generate em bonus when the active character standing on the burst area) because the enemies are already dead before i use the burst in 1 or 2 rotation
I love your guide
My combo: (Alhaitham, Yeelan, Ei, Johnlee)
Q – NAs – CA – NAs – Teamates – E plunge – NAs – Teamates – Q
Alhaitham definitely surprised me, the amount of flexibility he has with the dendro infusion just takes his teams to new levels, really happy to have gotten him!!
Can someone say why my Raiden is not doing good damage ….she only does 300-350 damage
I even put artefacts of energy recharge
Currently she have 230% energy recharge.
I watch all these videos but just smash buttons when I play ksksjsj
You say wait for 4 sec then refresh, but who's really gonna count seconds when they play? I think it is better to say refresh mirror after you see 2 level3 projectile attacks. That's a good visual cue.
Sevy you are the GOAT for including that little nomenclature cheat sheet in the beginning. I don’t play on PC (or play many games outside genshin) so whenever tutorials say Q and E it takes me several beats to catch up lol. Thank you!!!
This is so muvh helping for alhaitm owner…thank u sevy
They ruined my man by forcing charged attacks
i can't see his mirrors in fight at all 🙁 just spamming attacks after ult then doing his e when feeling it
I’m hoping we get more technical characters in the future
Sort of like what Fu Hua battlesuits are to honkai, it’s so fun to switch up the playstyle
the Combo 1 long form is pretty rewarding. <3 Thanks Sevy.
is he better than cyno?
I was really excited to learn his combos, but his energy requirements feel insane and while his combos are fun to learn the output you get is not worth the effort. You can just throw him in a quickbloom team and probably get more damage. I feel like a difficult to play character should be slightly above others that are easier to master.
Also the delay when his burst is generating mirrrors feels like garbage. Sure you can swap out but its so easy to get staggered or miss the timing for whatever reason and you can basically restart the chamber. But not doing it and physical attacking is just so unsatisfying.
He is basically a hypercarry with no frontloaded damage and long onfield time that is lacking the electro supports to accomodate and boost him.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Alhaitham's playstyle pretty much make him good against damage sponge like big enemies/bosses, but for Abyss chambers that got mobs spawning at different locations that forces players to run from one side to the other it would really mess with the rotation for playing Alhaitham?
Does alhaitham’s normal attacks consume mirrors
Ah, so his theme sounds like something that came out of Wii Sports because he put us and the enemies into his mental gymnastics then….
Could you make a guide on how to play him at c6?
Hey Sevy, me again, love ur content. I'm building him with yaoyao/Fischl/Beidou. Just for aggravate and maximazin his dmg. Hope this team work, cause i have no idea when kuki is coming back. Any tips?
What do I do if I have no burst? Right now I just do skill then charged attack to get me to 3 as fast as possible. I guess I need more ER on my artifacts…
I want to get mine having 140% ER but 😢I just don’t have the stats for it. He’s stuck with 124% atm
I literally just use him to watch all the fancy animations pop up 😂
Man , I want him but…man ! I’ve just got raiden 😢…I don’t enjoy spread that much, at least tignari use a bow … I can’t afford another close range hypercary… I loved cyno play style with the rage 😡 and the claws, I love when the characters got huge drawbacks but still kill everything like crazy. That make you create different build and allow you to experiment.
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO. I've really been going crazy looking for one that explains the attack combos more clearly because I have minus 100 iq.
