One of Genshin’s best on field carries/main dps units is Alhaitham. What’s more impressive is that he’s been consistently one of the best even when he first came out, despite the main dps category being very competitive due to lack of party space. So for today’s episode of Why EVERYONE Plays, we’ll be discussing what makes Alhaitham so exceptional.

    he used to be my stronget dps . . . neuvillette is just way too strong

    now I use wriothesley tho he deal less dmg than neuvillette & alhaitham

  3. I wouldn't say he cant be compared to Neuvilette. Just like Neuvilette he is a versatile and very strong onfield carry who has one of the best teams in the game. They are equal for me. But of course they cant compete with off field units like furina, xq, yelan, nahida

  4. I still have no Nahida, which hopefully gonna change on her rerun soon…
    And well… Still no kuki on my 6 months account. And I'm not pulling on a mf Ayato or Cyno just to get her.
    With that said… My poor alhaitham has to consume like 3 fav procs just to reliable get his burst for every rotation. Or play some wonky 3 dendro team. Now that I have Neuvillette he also wants fischlussy. MAN I'm legit depressed playing Alhaitham as I pulled for his weapon long time ago and actually got it. He's one of my best dps hypercarries but playing him rn without kuki and nahida is just pain with current ER requirements. That is my personal issue though, I really hope I get Furina and Nahida so I can play and acutally enjoy Alhaitham.

  5. As you go deeper into dolphin meta, spread/quicken become exceedingly powerful. And Alhaitham mirrors can dish significant damage in aoe. as a fast attacker, with good range, decent HP pool and being tall male, you get all the advantages you need on a dps. And his kit is extremely versatile.

  6. Alhaitham feels so buttery-smooth to play. His optimal gameplay incentivizes learning combos involving his entire flashy moveset (NA, CA, burst, and skill/plunge). This is unlike C0 Hu Tao whose pretty CA effects are ignored and wasted because you're forced to jump cancel every time which looks and feels ugly. Not to mention, as a Xiao main, it's pretty disappointing that spam plunge is his optimal gameplay. His anemo-infused normals literally have mesmerizing afterimages which your regular player would never see.

  7. I liked the point you made about him being a DPS and Driver both together. As a Childe main since 1.1, Alhaitham's playstyle just feels incredibly natural to me, lol. I love how fluid his attacks are and how easy it is to keep them Dendro-infused and how his rotations feel to play. Combine that with a character and personality I find stupidly amusing, a great design and VA, and a prominent role in the Archon quest, then yeah, it's not wonder why he's basically my second main at this point. It's very often him and his Dendro teams I take with me in the Spiral Abyss, along with my go-to International. He just feels nice to play.
