Constellation

Birthday

Talent Priority:

  • His normal attack can be leveled up a bit.

  • His elemental skill should be leveled up to the maximum, as it is his main source of damage.

  • His elemental burst should also be leveled up as much as possible, as it deals great AoE damage.

The ideal setup would be 9/10/9 in terms of Talents.

Constellation Recommendation:

  • His C1 is not recommended; it only helps you get an extra elemental skill per rotation.

  • His C2 only gives you a small amount of Elemental Mastery.

I don’t recommend pulling for Constellations.

Video Summary

Alhaitham Build Guide

This Alhaitham build focuses on leveraging his unique Elemental Mastery scaling and Chisel Light Mirror mechanics to maximize Dendro damage. By balancing high offensive stats with specific energy requirements, you can unlock his potential as a premier on field damage dealer.

Best Weapons

  • Wolf-Fang: This sword is an excellent choice for Alhaitham because it provides critical rate and boosts elemental skill and burst damage. It is particularly effective for players looking to stabilize their crit ratios while maintaining high damage output during his field time.
  • Mistsplitter Reforged: This powerful five star option offers high base attack and a massive critical damage bonus. It excels in Alhaitham build setups where you can consistently trigger elemental damage stacks to significantly increase his overall Dendro application and burst potential.
  • Iron Sting: A top tier free to play option that provides essential Elemental Mastery for his scaling. It is easy to obtain and refine, making it a reliable choice for players who need to boost their reaction damage without premium gacha weapons.
  • Xiphos' Moonlight: This weapon is ideal for managing energy needs while providing Elemental Mastery. It converts mastery into Energy Recharge for both Alhaitham and his teammates, making it a perfect utility choice for teams requiring smoother rotations and frequent bursts.

Best Artifacts

  • Gilded Dreams: This is the primary artifact set for Alhaitham because it provides a massive boost to Elemental Mastery and Attack based on team composition. It perfectly complements his scaling mechanics, ensuring his mirrors and burst hit as hard as possible in reaction heavy teams.
  • Deepwood Memories: Use this set if no other character in your team is currently equipped with it. It is vital for shredding Dendro resistance, which directly increases Alhaitham's personal damage, though it is usually better suited for a support teammate to maximize efficiency.
  • Wanderer's Troupe: This set is often used in two piece combinations to gain a flat increase in Elemental Mastery. It is a flexible alternative for players who have high quality sub stats on these pieces while they are still farming for a full four piece set.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • Stat Priorities: Focus on reaching an Elemental Mastery target of 1000 and an Energy Recharge target of 130 percent. Aim for a critical ratio of 70 percent rate to 200 percent damage to ensure consistent and powerful Dendro procs.
  • Quickbloom Team: This team features Alhaitham, Nahida, Furina, and Kuki Shinobu to trigger consistent Hyperbloom and Spread reactions. It utilizes Furina for damage buffs and Kuki for healing and electro application, creating a high damage ceiling for diverse combat scenarios.
  • F2P Friendly Team: A budget friendly composition using Alhaitham, Dendro Traveler, Xingqiu or Yelan, and Kuki Shinobu. This setup focuses on generating Dendro cores and maintaining high uptime on reactions, making it accessible for players without a deep roster of five star supports.
