I usually run him in hyperbloom with Yaoyao/Xinqiu/Al-Haitham/EM Raiden. Feels amazing slaying consecrated beasts with this team. This allows me to run Nahida on the other side with Yelan/Kuki hyperbloom, or burgeon with Thoma. He's not the ONLY Nahida #2 available, but he is the one that outputs the most personal damage to compensate for splitting up Yelan and XQ from a single hyperbloom team.
Kinda crazy how no one ever mentions Yelan, Xingqiu, Kuki and Alhaitham together. It's the strongest, most comfortable and consistent Alhaitham experience I've found -- especially if Yelan has Elegy. Both Hydros fix each other's energy issues and it's just burst after burst.
One other thing to note about running Nahida with Alhaitham. She is an INSANE off field battery that lowers his ER requirements by a ton. Another thing to keep in mind is that Yelan will turn the hyperbloom team into more of a quickbloom team giving you a bit more bang for your buck on Alhaitham's personal damage if well invested. I think that's the team I will run him on when I get him.
Definitely pulling for the Green Power Ranger here but only because I have Kazuha already. I wanted to say thank you for your advice about Yae Miko. I got her and she's so fun, perfect with Fischl. I'm running my lightning ladies with Nahida and Baizhu, it's very good and easy to play. So thank you for your advice!
What artefacts are you playing on Yae, Fischl, Nahida and Beizhou? This Team Sounds great, i want to try it myself. Except i don´t really like Fischl, so i will be replacing her with Beidou or even Keqing as onfield DPS
@@atomkacke Yae and Fishcl are using Gilded Dreams, Nahida is on Deepwood Memories, and Baizhu is on Ocean-Hued Clam. Still using this team a lot. I could see Keqing being good as well, I might have to try that!
I didn’t talk about his cons but they’re not all that great. For team damage nahida c2 is a lot better However if you just want to max him out for shrimping reasons go ahead you have my full support :D
@@JelloImpact I know his cons aren’t really needed or game changing, it’s just that he’s my fave Sumeru character so I want to get his cons over time :) As for nahida I don’t really like her playstyle, but I might pull her if she isn’t paired with another character I want as I had to skip her last two banners
@@nithishpb9070 I’m happy with the characters I have and they can clear content just fine, so I don’t see it as a waste tbh, as I want to work towards getting his c6, plus it’s my first time going for cons for a limited character so I’m excited to finally be able to do so :)
I agree with his hyperbloom team, especially with kuki and xingqiu. It's the team that allowed me to tank the beasts in 12-3 1st half without worrying too much about dying.
I struggle with Alhaitham in Co-op. He is amazing, but needs a full support team behind him to really shine. If I just want to unga bunga my way through I usually bring Tighnari instead
@@ForeverDegenerate guess so, but I prefer Jade since it has better transfer to other units plus the set I have for him has alotta crit dmg substats and aintnoway I’m refarming his set to balance his ratio with his sig.
@@oyfum2638 Yeah if you don't have Jade Cutter, it is, objectively, the better weapon to pull for. That being said, for this Weapon Banner, pulling for Al's Sword isn't a bad deal because the other 5-Star is Freedom Sworn which is the Best-in-Slot for the vast majority of EM-Based Sword Wielders. So, depending on the characters and builds you run, Freedom Sworn, if you don't have it yet, could net you similar flexibility to the Jade Cutter. As far as Al's Artifacts are concerned, let me ask you this: Are the Artifacts you have pre-farmed for him heavy on the EM? The reason I ask this is because Al's Damage Output scales directly off EM. Hence why Freedom Sworn is actually a good sword for him. If your current pre-farmed Artifacts are lacking in the EM department, I would recommend re-farming anyway to get higher EM. As an example, I run EM-Focused 4-Piece Gilded Dream on my Al-Haitham. And, yes, I run his sword on him. Was it a pain to farm EM-specific Artifacts for him? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. If you're deadset on waiting for Jade Cutter, I would recommend farming the Battle Pass and picking up a Black Sword if you don't have one. It's a Crit Sword like the Jade Cutter and should work well enough until the Jade Cutter comes back around on Banner. The other option, if you have Starglitter lying around, is the Royal Longsword which is currently available in the Marketplace. While it's, generally, not a good sword, it's ability increases Crit Rate on hit and resets after you Crit. So, again, it could work as a substitute while you're waiting for Jade Cutter. Then, of course, if you're willing to go EM, you can always craft yourself an Iron Sting if you have Billets. Easy F2P Option if you don't want to pull on the current Weapon Banner. Anyway, good luck on pulling for Al!
@@ForeverDegenerate yea, they are prefarmed. I have him on 2pc 2pc em. 46/175 400 em are his stats. I forgor the atk but 400 em should be fine right? Jade cutter would bump that up to 90/175 which would as close as a 1:2 ratio I could get on him.
@@oyfum2638 Yeah those are decent stats. So yeah, until you get Jade Cutter, if you don't want to pull for Al's Sword and/or Freedom Sworn, I would either buy the Battle Pass and get Black Sword or craft Iron Sting. With your current stats, Iron Sting would still function. In all honesty, while your 2+2 EM set up will work, you'd be better off with a 4-Piece Set. I'm assuming one of your 2-Pieces is Gilded. If that's the case, you'd be better off getting two more pieces of Gilded and finishing it off. The 4-Piece Buffs off Gilded will do more for you than that second 2-Piece EM Buff. That being said, you've got some incredible numbers with those stats. If you've got other priorities, go with what you have and get yourself a good sword and you should be fine for the time being. I would put a 4-Piece Gilded on your Artifact Farm list for later, though, especially if you plan to Main Al. Oh and make sure you have good ER. It's crucial for Al to be able to Burst off CD if you want to maintain his Damage Rotation. If you're running Nahida with him, 140-150 ER should suffice.
If you have Zhongli, I recommend him in your 4th slot on Al's hyperbloom team since ZL can hold the deepwood set and have 100% uptime on it...this frees Nahida for your other team as well even though it's less overall damage than with her, getting staggered or killed is also a DPS loss however
Freeing up nahida is good. The team is pretty comfy with kuki+xingqiu already tho but you could run Yelan /raiden In that case and make up some damage 🤔
@@JelloImpact yeah, my favorite iteration is with Raiden over Kuki as I find Raiden triggers the cores more easily and I don't have to deal with Kuki on life support constantly...I swap between Xq or Yelan depending which one my other team needs more
Conversely, do what I do and use Zhongli in place of Xingqiu and run Spread Al. Between Zhongli's Res Shred from his Shield and Nahida's Res Shred from Deepwood (I run Deepwood on Nahida and Gilded on Al) and the Buffs from Nahida's Burst, Al just deletes things. My Team Comp is Zhongli, Kuki, Al, and Nahida. The fun thing with this Team Comp is that I can (and do) swap Al out for Ayato when Hyrdo is required (like when facing the Pyro Hypostasis, for example). This Team Comp is so flexible. Also, any Main Hydro DPS will do. Like if you don't have Ayato, Tartaglia will work just fine or even Reaction Driver Kokomi. I don't have my Mona built so I haven't actually tried it, but I imagine Main DPS Mona would also work, especially with that Damage Buff off her Burst.
I'm pulling for him and his sword but I'm dreading the fact that I actually have to worry about rotations. I usually just unga bunga my way in the abyss, but this time I gotta use my single brain cell to make the most out of dendro daddy :(( will be trying the hyperbloom team! ✨ thank you for this upload
It’s honestly pretty unga bunga once you get used to it. Nahida skill and burst>xingqiu skill and burst>kuki burst and skill> Al Haitham burst , normal attack until one mirror runs out> then skill or charge attack, normal attack until one mirror runs out, then do whichever of skill or charge attack you didn’t do before, then normal attack until you start the whole rotation over!
@@JelloImpact thank you! I don't know much since I'm just here to collect husbands lol I usually panic and just hit whichever burst is ready, but I'll definitely practice.
Thankfully I got Alhaitham this time; he's insanely powerful. It took a little time to get used to him, but it was worth it: I went from needing help to clear boss content to basically raining green hell on everything and anything. Last night I joined a friend against Childe. This was my first weekly boss fight with Alhaitham. I expected it to go smoother than it did previously, since, you know, he's strong - but I didn't expect him to just completely destroy Childe, despite wearing copium artifacts and all. He and Kuki hard carried that fight. I had to ask my friend to make sure we actually did the hardest difficulty, because it didn't feel like it. It was a complete shock. So... yeah... He is indeed very strong... :') Zero regrets. It was worth waiting and saving for months to guarantee him.
I have buyers remorse for alhaitham... i don't have nahida or kuki and only just got kokomi (only other hydro is barbara) so it was a mistake to pull him when I don't have the supports he needs. Sure, I can have a scuffed Kaeya, Fischl, Kokomi/Barbara team, but it's not very fun to play for me. I honestly have more fun with Kaeya Freeze (i'd honestly hope so considering he's my main), but I'll concede that burning teams can be absolutely hilarious if played incorrectly. I got him with the half-hearted intention of slapping him on an aggravate team but... uh, i forgot he and keqing were both main dps, so that was my bad. Freeze is more fun for me because i've been painstakingly crafting that team since I decided to become a Kaeya main (read: immediately), and it's still not perfect because xingqiu refuses to come home. Overload, likewise, is super fun for me because I've been planning that team for a while, even if the reaction itself isn't really considered meta. So, lesson learned: don't get a main dps if you don't have the necessary supports, otherwise you'll get frustrated with how terribly they play. And, above all, PLAN OUT A TEAM BEFORE WISHING, otherwise they'll be benched indefinitely (rip Tighnari, he was an accident but i still use him more than alhaitham)
Agreed on the Spread vs Hyperbloom. You probably need signature weapons and good stats on alhaitham/yae/nahida for it to be better than hyperbloom in ST. HB really is just so good. Great video mate
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I don't understand what you are trying to bring up. Hutao and Ayaka generally stick to one team (vape or freeze) until hyper invested constellations. Alhaitham has two teams that are pretty close at lower investment but differ in their main reaction damage
I was lucky enough to get him when I started Liyue, and he is still my main as I am entering floor 11 of the abyss. One thing I noticed though is that if he can't use his burst off cool down, he needs to have his C1. This is because he is almost unplayable when he only has 0-1 of his mirror shard things. With his C1 the 4 mirror attacks at 2-3 mirror shards will bring his skill CD to about 5s. This is perfect for using the rest of your parties' skills/bursts. Only doing 3 mirror attacks does increase your damage a bit, but it will increase the skill CD to about 7s. Without his C1 4 mirror attacks will leave his skill CD at about 10s. Some teams can handle this, but you will have to be very careful managing your timing
One of his bests swords happens to be Harbinger of Dawn. Run him with a Shielder and healer and he can make use of the Crit passive. The Crit damage he gets is insane, I have him on my alt ACC (Got him on accident lol, didn't pull for him on my main because I got Kazuha this banner) and he shreds with that weapon, and I'm using 3-5 star artifacts. I mean how can you hit 10k with 3star artifacts. 🤧 Literally the best on-field dendro DPS. And among the Best DPS.
Same shit happen to me i just impulse pulls him bcause i main keqing and people kept saying he's really stronk so gotta tested out myself so i gave him random artifacts and haran gppaku and dang this dude hits like a truck the difference between my current dps chars is really high considering i didn't really invest on him but he still outdmg them and he really just shocked my ass😂
used my Guaranteed on Yae and been having a lot of fun. She has been carrying my team now and she is fun also in overworld. I planned on pulling Al-Haitham at first but i have already built my C2 Tighnari. A hard decision since i really really wanted Al Haitham but i have lots of Onfield DPS collecting dust, im gonna get AlHaitham next rerun but for now priorities priorities.
Haitham honestly was just a character i pulled on a whim, i dont even like his character design, but man the gameplay is so fun, especially since he deals so much damage
I pulled c2 R1 Alhaitham and never looked back. Luckiest 100 pulls of my life. Until I got c2 R1 Yae in 65 pulls. I pretty much lost every 2/3 50/50 before that. I just brute forced 36* 3.7 Abyss 12 2nd half with Alhaitham, Nahida, Kuki, XQ. (My Nahida is c2 r1, both 4 stars c6)
Alhaitham is really very cool for now... But the Abyss is full of Electro-immune opponents like slimes, and Inazuma too is full of all manner of electro-resistant enemies, But dendro-resistant enemies seem rare in the existing areas including Sumeru. My question is when will it be the Dendro element's turn to have a large number of enemies immune to it added to various abyss chambers and new areas of the game? Once the game treats the element more fairly with the elements.. perhaps whenever MiHoyo finishes their seeming push to really encourage people to use dendro as much as possible, these characters are bound to need a reevaluation at some time in the future?
Since I don’t have kazuha his way more needed than alhaitam now unfortunately he always come before or at the same time of a very wanted character that his higher in the meta. First I had to get yelan and now kazuha 😢 I will get kazuha cause I’m guaranteed at 70 pity then I will try for alhaitam
The funniest thing is that he didn't ask me if I want him I was just a new player back at his release. Didn't really know about the pity system. So Alhaitham, probably, just decided to come and save my account Honestly, I like his playstyle and even now play with him almost all the time Probably I wouldn't pull for him if I was an old player but I definitely am glad to have him
sucrose's team wide em sharing buffs spread btw. as of right now the only way to improve dendro dmg is reduce dendro res through deepwood and zhongli shield. get em buff from sucrose or nahida. and get def shred from lisa. a combination of all the above makes spread quite op. alhaitham nahida zhongli and lisa. lisa is better overall dmg boost compared to sucrose because nahida most likely is aleady at 1k em and shares 250 to alhaitham. getting more may be pointless. def reduction can boost alhaitham and nahida's dmg by much more while putting out lot of high dmg aggravates simultaneously
I've been wanting to get him for months now because I have his Lofi weapon. But I got Kazuha instead because I needed a viable anemo support for my Ayaka freeze team.
I have deepwood on Kuki or Zhongli if I run them with him. You don't have to keep deepwood on a dendro unit. Nahida is redundant in the hyperbloom team, you don't have enough quicken uptime to buff both him and Nahida so her off-field damage isn't as high as in spread. I prefer Alhaitham, Yae, Nahida, Zhongli or Alhaitham, Kuki, Xingqiu, Thoma/dendro MC.
I only wish on weapon banner when I really want both weapons, that's why my only weapons banner losses are 2 extra jade spears and 2 extra skyward spines since 1.0 🥳
I got nahida, ganyu, mona, and keqing c1. Along with recently Dehya, but we don't talk about her. Getting kazuha just don't if I should wait to draw or immune when banners live.
Currently running him in a triple dendro spread team, complete waste of Nahida's potential yes, but it's still fun, I have his signature, Nahida's signature, and Key of Khaj Nisut on Kuki, though I could probably switch in Fischl and Raiden in place of Nahida and Kuki and use them in a hyperbloom team instead, and I can use Kirara in Nahida's team for resonance and protection Those might be the teams I'll use to beat abyss for the first time
I had 216 wishes and 149 went to kazuha because I lost to keqing. Now I have around 100, I'm waiting for kokomi rerun to remove my barbara. Daddy dendro can wait his turn after I get nahida 😂
I'm on the fence, actually. I'm going to pull for Yaoyao and Xiangling but I'm not sure on which banner. I already have c0 Kazuha (c2 is broken but my chances are non-existent) and out of dendro I've got only dendro Traveller and Collei. So on the one hand, Alhaitham will be the dendro I need, but on the other hand I don't own his best support Nahida... I've got mistsplitter, thought. So, which banner would you pull on? 🙏
I guess it will come down to your long term philosophy. If long term you’re gonna go for constellations on your characters, I’d go kazuha and maybe eventually you get c2. If not Al Haitham could be good for more variety. But the best thing for you to do is get nahida haha. She’s a bigger upgrade for you than either of them. I would consider skipping and saving hehe. Unless you don’t have a single copy of either xiangling or Yao Yao
@@JelloImpact I don't have Yaoyao, who I need for my aggravate Yae Miko team. Also, I'm desperate for Xiangling, haha. I've been playing for 1,5 years, and I only have her c1 🥹
Al doesn't Nahida to be good, one of his big strengths is how he frees her up for other dendro teams...Personally i value a wider roster over 5 star constellations, but you have to decide if working towards the very strong c2 Kazuha (meaning not pulling another 5 star either next time he comes around) is worth it to you over a more powerful Kazuha
I think it's also important to consider if the person already has a good dps or not, because if the person lacks a dps unit and already has Kazuha, then Alhaitham is the obvious choice here.
The best character in the game fr fr🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m going for his weapon to improve his damage cus since I got him until today I didn’t get good crit substates for him so his weapon will solve the issue
Is he really worth it if i already have Tignari and a well invested Nahida?.. I mean Nahida alone in Hyberbloom is beyond broken and Tignari cover the same role...?
I am planning to pull for Alhaitham in his upcoming rerun and have C2 nahida. I have her around 500 em and 60 to 70 ish cri rate (i forgot) and 160+ crit damage with 4 pc deepwood set. Am I building her right for Alhaitham? also should I build Kuki full EM? Edit: And how should I build Alhaitham with freedom sworn as his weapon? What is the EM requirements and the ideal CR and CD for him? Considering that he is using an EM weapon.
In contrary to what you said about spread vs hyperbloom, my likeability goes to spread tbh, it feels more unga bunga than hyperbloom where i have to make sure i am applying hydro around 😅 My spread teams that helped me clear abyss so far are : Ei alhaitham nahida zhongli (I call it Al-Archons 😂 this is one of my fav and strongest version of spread team, was totally effective in abyss 3.4 and 3.6) Ei alhaitham nahida kuki (carried me in 3.5 and even took down the wenut) Ei alhaitham baizhu kazu (it was a challenge considering the high dendro resistance in 1st half of the current abyss, but i still cleared it with this team)
Ayaka carried me the whole game until Dendro was released and freeze was nerfed in the abyss. Alhaitham never came even close to that. Worst pull I did. I only use nahida instead of him. Dont pull for him, he is super limited and not worth. Easy thinking, best alhaitham teams need nahida. But best nahida teams dont need alhaitham
It's very simple. Dendro reactions are powerful, so they made dendro application limited. Also - there is no dendro off-field DPS outside of Nahida and even she can't be driven by dendro unit. Fischl is also not driven by spread. Plus no advantage from anemo. So dendro being great as basis for reactions is simply worse on it's own - in spread, that's it. There is no advantage over aggravate. Thus, Hoyo made Al-haitham very strong, to compensate for worse reaction. From game-design point of view, I have doubts if that's good really. Kinda like Nilou, that just has crazy numbers on her, but as game-design she is questionable. Meanwhile her teams are pretty chaotic in terms of reaction and often not that much synergistic, like forcing EM on Xingqiu or Kokomi - that also has highly restrictive jellyfish... But yup, she is strong and so is Al-haitham. Very interesting comparison to Cyno. Nice.
Yes I could talk for another hour about how weird Al Haitham is overall in similar vein to what you said. I had to rearrange a lot in my video to make it make sense lol it took forever to edit this one
Hes like jack of cards to many but master of none.. While hes good, hes also not necessary or neither will be an upgrade to your acc, everthing he does nahida does better and open more options to many teams as well as she is going to stay meta for long run.. while he will most likely to be go down in value once we reach natlan, since hes dps not all rounder like nahida. its obvious.
I run mono dendro with him tried getting his weapond but got xiao weapond so I bougth de battle pass and got the sword and with mono dendro I Say 3 dendros 1 electro it is real fun and destroys I use him nahida BAIZHU and Kuki
🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰 *You can pull off 6 consecutive instances of rain blades with Alhaitham and you don’t need to count seconds. Just look for visual clues. Here’s how to maintain 3 mirrors:* 1. Cast Burst (Q) with zero mirrors. Then he’ll get a refund of 3 mirrors. 2. Do normal attacks (do NOT do charged attacks at this point), and procc 2 instances of rain blades. 🔪🔪 3. When you see the 2nd instance of rain blades, cast his Skill (E) to maintain 3 mirrors. 4. Do normal attacks again (still NO charged attacks) and procc 2 more instances of rain blades. _(4 rain blades at this point)_ 🔪🔪🔪🔪 5. When you see the 4th instance of rain blades, now you can do a charged attack to maintain 3 mirrors. 6. Do normal attacks to procc another 2 instances of rain blades. _(Total of 6 consecutive rain blades at this point)_ 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪 7. And then you can just spam his infused normal attacks until his mirrors run out. Or switch him out. It takes practice and familiarity to do this. So be patient. But once you nail this, I assure you the satisfaction is awesome!! 🤘❇️
@@JelloImpact I think it’s a skill issue in all honesty…my team isn’t bad. I use iron sting and a hyperbloom team with gilded dreams. My artifacts aren’t the best (bad luck haha) but he a decent crit ratio ~69/128. Sorry. I don’t doubt he’s very good, I think I’m just bad at the game.
Mirror management may be the key to your problem. I just started playing him yesterday but watched lots of videos and I like the following sequence for Al’s on field time : E. Burst, auto attacks for 4 seconds, E. Skill, auto attacks for 4 seconds, charged attack, auto attacks for 4 seconds. Then, swap him out to recast the other chars E. Skill or E. Burst (or w/e they need to refresh) then swap Alaitham back in and restart the same loop. This requires him to have enough energy recharge so his E. Burst is ready when he’s back on field. Anyway, hope this helps, good luck ! ^^
@@blondinsentenza6862 hmm.. normally I do Burst first just to get three mirrors. the problem is that his startup animation is sort of lengthy so i feel like i'm wasting abit of yelan's barbs.
Haha that’s totally fine I’ll definitely add it to the list of things to consider adding when I get a bit keep time :)it’s good to know what the people want!
I usually run him in hyperbloom with Yaoyao/Xinqiu/Al-Haitham/EM Raiden. Feels amazing slaying consecrated beasts with this team.
This allows me to run Nahida on the other side with Yelan/Kuki hyperbloom, or burgeon with Thoma.
He's not the ONLY Nahida #2 available, but he is the one that outputs the most personal damage to compensate for splitting up Yelan and XQ from a single hyperbloom team.
For me, it's Alhaitham - Kuki - Xingqiu - Baizhu..
Will swap kuki out for Raiden, and xingqiu for Yelan..
Kinda crazy how no one ever mentions Yelan, Xingqiu, Kuki and Alhaitham together. It's the strongest, most comfortable and consistent Alhaitham experience I've found -- especially if Yelan has Elegy. Both Hydros fix each other's energy issues and it's just burst after burst.
hmm I'll definitely have to try that team
One other thing to note about running Nahida with Alhaitham. She is an INSANE off field battery that lowers his ER requirements by a ton. Another thing to keep in mind is that Yelan will turn the hyperbloom team into more of a quickbloom team giving you a bit more bang for your buck on Alhaitham's personal damage if well invested. I think that's the team I will run him on when I get him.
Yes yes very true
This is the team I run and it's insane. Good aoe damage from his and nahida's spreads, good st damage from hyperblooms and very smooth rotations

@@ForeverDegenerate yea, they are prefarmed. I have him on 2pc 2pc em. 46/175 400 em are his stats. I forgor the atk but 400 em should be fine right? Jade cutter would bump that up to 90/175 which would as close as a 1:2 ratio I could get on him.
@@oyfum2638 Yeah those are decent stats. So yeah, until you get Jade Cutter, if you don't want to pull for Al's Sword and/or Freedom Sworn, I would either buy the Battle Pass and get Black Sword or craft Iron Sting. With your current stats, Iron Sting would still function.
In all honesty, while your 2+2 EM set up will work, you'd be better off with a 4-Piece Set. I'm assuming one of your 2-Pieces is Gilded. If that's the case, you'd be better off getting two more pieces of Gilded and finishing it off. The 4-Piece Buffs off Gilded will do more for you than that second 2-Piece EM Buff. That being said, you've got some incredible numbers with those stats. If you've got other priorities, go with what you have and get yourself a good sword and you should be fine for the time being. I would put a 4-Piece Gilded on your Artifact Farm list for later, though, especially if you plan to Main Al. Oh and make sure you have good ER. It's crucial for Al to be able to Burst off CD if you want to maintain his Damage Rotation. If you're running Nahida with him, 140-150 ER should suffice.
If you have Zhongli, I recommend him in your 4th slot on Al's hyperbloom team since ZL can hold the deepwood set and have 100% uptime on it...this frees Nahida for your other team as well even though it's less overall damage than with her, getting staggered or killed is also a DPS loss however
Freeing up nahida is good. The team is pretty comfy with kuki+xingqiu already tho but you could run Yelan /raiden In that case and make up some damage 🤔
@@JelloImpact yeah, my favorite iteration is with Raiden over Kuki as I find Raiden triggers the cores more easily and I don't have to deal with Kuki on life support constantly...I swap between Xq or Yelan depending which one my other team needs more
Conversely, do what I do and use Zhongli in place of Xingqiu and run Spread Al. Between Zhongli's Res Shred from his Shield and Nahida's Res Shred from Deepwood (I run Deepwood on Nahida and Gilded on Al) and the Buffs from Nahida's Burst, Al just deletes things. My Team Comp is Zhongli, Kuki, Al, and Nahida. The fun thing with this Team Comp is that I can (and do) swap Al out for Ayato when Hyrdo is required (like when facing the Pyro Hypostasis, for example). This Team Comp is so flexible. Also, any Main Hydro DPS will do. Like if you don't have Ayato, Tartaglia will work just fine or even Reaction Driver Kokomi. I don't have my Mona built so I haven't actually tried it, but I imagine Main DPS Mona would also work, especially with that Damage Buff off her Burst.
I first finished the full Spiral Abyss with him as a main. He is strong, but not easy to build.
I'm pulling for him and his sword but I'm dreading the fact that I actually have to worry about rotations. I usually just unga bunga my way in the abyss, but this time I gotta use my single brain cell to make the most out of dendro daddy :(( will be trying the hyperbloom team! ✨ thank you for this upload
It’s honestly pretty unga bunga once you get used to it.
Nahida skill and burst>xingqiu skill and burst>kuki burst and skill> Al Haitham burst , normal attack until one mirror runs out> then skill or charge attack, normal attack until one mirror runs out, then do whichever of skill or charge attack you didn’t do before, then normal attack until you start the whole rotation over!
@@JelloImpact thank you! I don't know much since I'm just here to collect husbands lol I usually panic and just hit whichever burst is ready, but I'll definitely practice.
Pulled him by mistake, and he has never left my abyss team... Thats the power of dendro daddy
good analysis! very logical and fair points made here
Alhaitham is strong and I will get him in his next rerun. I don't care about Furina, Clorinde or Siegiewinne so Alhaitham is clearcut
Thankfully I got Alhaitham this time; he's insanely powerful. It took a little time to get used to him, but it was worth it: I went from needing help to clear boss content to basically raining green hell on everything and anything.
Last night I joined a friend against Childe. This was my first weekly boss fight with Alhaitham. I expected it to go smoother than it did previously, since, you know, he's strong - but I didn't expect him to just completely destroy Childe, despite wearing copium artifacts and all. He and Kuki hard carried that fight. I had to ask my friend to make sure we actually did the hardest difficulty, because it didn't feel like it. It was a complete shock.
So... yeah... He is indeed very strong... :') Zero regrets. It was worth waiting and saving for months to guarantee him.
I have buyers remorse for alhaitham... i don't have nahida or kuki and only just got kokomi (only other hydro is barbara) so it was a mistake to pull him when I don't have the supports he needs. Sure, I can have a scuffed Kaeya, Fischl, Kokomi/Barbara team, but it's not very fun to play for me. I honestly have more fun with Kaeya Freeze (i'd honestly hope so considering he's my main), but I'll concede that burning teams can be absolutely hilarious if played incorrectly. I got him with the half-hearted intention of slapping him on an aggravate team but... uh, i forgot he and keqing were both main dps, so that was my bad. Freeze is more fun for me because i've been painstakingly crafting that team since I decided to become a Kaeya main (read: immediately), and it's still not perfect because xingqiu refuses to come home. Overload, likewise, is super fun for me because I've been planning that team for a while, even if the reaction itself isn't really considered meta.
So, lesson learned: don't get a main dps if you don't have the necessary supports, otherwise you'll get frustrated with how terribly they play. And, above all, PLAN OUT A TEAM BEFORE WISHING, otherwise they'll be benched indefinitely (rip Tighnari, he was an accident but i still use him more than alhaitham)
Play him on this team
Alhaitham
Dendro MC
Fischl
Lisa
All f2p chars and he would still slay
Agreed on the Spread vs Hyperbloom. You probably need signature weapons and good stats on alhaitham/yae/nahida for it to be better than hyperbloom in ST. HB really is just so good. Great video mate
Thanks~~
yeah just like hu tao and ayaka what's your point
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I don't understand what you are trying to bring up. Hutao and Ayaka generally stick to one team (vape or freeze) until hyper invested constellations. Alhaitham has two teams that are pretty close at lower investment but differ in their main reaction damage
I was lucky enough to get him when I started Liyue, and he is still my main as I am entering floor 11 of the abyss. One thing I noticed though is that if he can't use his burst off cool down, he needs to have his C1. This is because he is almost unplayable when he only has 0-1 of his mirror shard things. With his C1 the 4 mirror attacks at 2-3 mirror shards will bring his skill CD to about 5s. This is perfect for using the rest of your parties' skills/bursts. Only doing 3 mirror attacks does increase your damage a bit, but it will increase the skill CD to about 7s. Without his C1 4 mirror attacks will leave his skill CD at about 10s. Some teams can handle this, but you will have to be very careful managing your timing
One of his bests swords happens to be Harbinger of Dawn. Run him with a Shielder and healer and he can make use of the Crit passive. The Crit damage he gets is insane, I have him on my alt ACC (Got him on accident lol, didn't pull for him on my main because I got Kazuha this banner) and he shreds with that weapon, and I'm using 3-5 star artifacts. I mean how can you hit 10k with 3star artifacts. 🤧 Literally the best on-field dendro DPS. And among the Best DPS.
Same shit happen to me i just impulse pulls him bcause i main keqing and people kept saying he's really stronk so gotta tested out myself so i gave him random artifacts and haran gppaku and dang this dude hits like a truck the difference between my current dps chars is really high considering i didn't really invest on him but he still outdmg them and he really just shocked my ass😂
Exactly!!
used my Guaranteed on Yae and been having a lot of fun. She has been carrying my team now and she is fun also in overworld. I planned on pulling Al-Haitham at first but i have already built my C2 Tighnari. A hard decision since i really really wanted Al Haitham but i have lots of Onfield DPS collecting dust, im gonna get AlHaitham next rerun but for now priorities priorities.
hello it's been 11 months did you get him this rerun?
Haitham honestly was just a character i pulled on a whim, i dont even like his character design, but man the gameplay is so fun, especially since he deals so much damage
I pulled c2 R1 Alhaitham and never looked back. Luckiest 100 pulls of my life. Until I got c2 R1 Yae in 65 pulls. I pretty much lost every 2/3 50/50 before that.
I just brute forced 36* 3.7 Abyss 12 2nd half with Alhaitham, Nahida, Kuki, XQ.
(My Nahida is c2 r1, both 4 stars c6)
Boom 💥
Alhaitham is really very cool for now... But the Abyss is full of Electro-immune opponents like slimes, and Inazuma too is full of all manner of electro-resistant enemies, But dendro-resistant enemies seem rare in the existing areas including Sumeru.
My question is when will it be the Dendro element's turn to have a large number of enemies immune to it added to various abyss chambers and new areas of the game? Once the game treats the element more fairly with the elements.. perhaps whenever MiHoyo finishes their seeming push to really encourage people to use dendro as much as possible, these characters are bound to need a reevaluation at some time in the future?
2:26 brett nice lol
I don't regret pulling him one bit. During his release I pulled him C2 and got his weapon. Now with the rerun he went to C6 🌱💚
Since I don’t have kazuha his way more needed than alhaitam now unfortunately he always come before or at the same time of a very wanted character that his higher in the meta. First I had to get yelan and now kazuha 😢 I will get kazuha cause I’m guaranteed at 70 pity then I will try for alhaitam
Dude is the best choice for me since... I mostly have dendro supports and electro supports and they are mostly supports too
The funniest thing is that he didn't ask me if I want him
I was just a new player back at his release. Didn't really know about the pity system. So Alhaitham, probably, just decided to come and save my account
Honestly, I like his playstyle and even now play with him almost all the time
Probably I wouldn't pull for him if I was an old player but I definitely am glad to have him
Got the sword already all I need now is him. My guy definitely coming home idgaf what I gotta do or spend.
I'm definitely 100% pulling for him 🌿🌿🌿
Im still maining him since his release. Hes just that fun to play.
Yaoyao was released with Alhaitham btw.
Will be getting this guy for my second f2p account! I love him on my main :D
sucrose's team wide em sharing buffs spread btw. as of right now the only way to improve dendro dmg is reduce dendro res through deepwood and zhongli shield. get em buff from sucrose or nahida. and get def shred from lisa. a combination of all the above makes spread quite op. alhaitham nahida zhongli and lisa. lisa is better overall dmg boost compared to sucrose because nahida most likely is aleady at 1k em and shares 250 to alhaitham. getting more may be pointless. def reduction can boost alhaitham and nahida's dmg by much more while putting out lot of high dmg aggravates simultaneously
That sounds really cool, I’ll have to try that!!
Im an Alhaitham main and he is so fun and effective 😊 He is C2 and has his signature weapon. Triple crowned…. He is fantastic.
I've been wanting to get him for months now because I have his Lofi weapon. But I got Kazuha instead because I needed a viable anemo support for my Ayaka freeze team.
I have deepwood on Kuki or Zhongli if I run them with him. You don't have to keep deepwood on a dendro unit.
Nahida is redundant in the hyperbloom team, you don't have enough quicken uptime to buff both him and Nahida so her off-field damage isn't as high as in spread. I prefer Alhaitham, Yae, Nahida, Zhongli or Alhaitham, Kuki, Xingqiu, Thoma/dendro MC.
I only wish on weapon banner when I really want both weapons, that's why my only weapons banner losses are 2 extra jade spears and 2 extra skyward spines since 1.0 🥳
I got nahida, ganyu, mona, and keqing c1.
Along with recently Dehya, but we don't talk about her.
Getting kazuha just don't if I should wait to draw or immune when banners live.
I'm gonna try Alhaitham, yai miko, xq, baizhu when I get him
im planning to wish on both alhaitham and kazoo wish me luck
Good luck~~~
You could just use beidou for cyno team along with xingqiu and maybe prototype amber on nahida to survive.
Currently running him in a triple dendro spread team, complete waste of Nahida's potential yes, but it's still fun, I have his signature, Nahida's signature, and Key of Khaj Nisut on Kuki, though I could probably switch in Fischl and Raiden in place of Nahida and Kuki and use them in a hyperbloom team instead, and I can use Kirara in Nahida's team for resonance and protection
Those might be the teams I'll use to beat abyss for the first time
I had 216 wishes and 149 went to kazuha because I lost to keqing. Now I have around 100, I'm waiting for kokomi rerun to remove my barbara. Daddy dendro can wait his turn after I get nahida 😂
getting both, have 300 wishes saved!
Woo! That’s some great dedication right there!
I hereby bless you with the power of god and anime on my side to win them back to back.❤
I'm on the fence, actually. I'm going to pull for Yaoyao and Xiangling but I'm not sure on which banner. I already have c0 Kazuha (c2 is broken but my chances are non-existent) and out of dendro I've got only dendro Traveller and Collei. So on the one hand, Alhaitham will be the dendro I need, but on the other hand I don't own his best support Nahida... I've got mistsplitter, thought. So, which banner would you pull on? 🙏
I guess it will come down to your long term philosophy. If long term you’re gonna go for constellations on your characters, I’d go kazuha and maybe eventually you get c2. If not Al Haitham could be good for more variety.
But the best thing for you to do is get nahida haha. She’s a bigger upgrade for you than either of them.
I would consider skipping and saving hehe. Unless you don’t have a single copy of either xiangling or Yao Yao
@@JelloImpact I don't have Yaoyao, who I need for my aggravate Yae Miko team. Also, I'm desperate for Xiangling, haha. I've been playing for 1,5 years, and I only have her c1 🥹
Al doesn't Nahida to be good, one of his big strengths is how he frees her up for other dendro teams...Personally i value a wider roster over 5 star constellations, but you have to decide if working towards the very strong c2 Kazuha (meaning not pulling another 5 star either next time he comes around) is worth it to you over a more powerful Kazuha
I think it's also important to consider if the person already has a good dps or not, because if the person lacks a dps unit and already has Kazuha, then Alhaitham is the obvious choice here.
The best character in the game fr fr🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m going for his weapon to improve his damage cus since I got him until today I didn’t get good crit substates for him so his weapon will solve the issue
Is he really worth it if i already have Tignari and a well invested Nahida?.. I mean Nahida alone in Hyberbloom is beyond broken and Tignari cover the same role...?
Strong? Yes. Worth it? Nah. Only get him if you like him.
Love the video. Although there is one thing i just cant let go.

@@JelloImpact oh, i ship it 😂
Jk you do you 😂
LOL I scrolled for so long to see if someone noticed

I am planning to pull for Alhaitham in his upcoming rerun and have C2 nahida. I have her around 500 em and 60 to 70 ish cri rate (i forgot) and 160+ crit damage with 4 pc deepwood set. Am I building her right for Alhaitham? also should I build Kuki full EM?
Edit: And how should I build Alhaitham with freedom sworn as his weapon? What is the EM requirements and the ideal CR and CD for him? Considering that he is using an EM weapon.
In contrary to what you said about spread vs hyperbloom, my likeability goes to spread tbh, it feels more unga bunga than hyperbloom where i have to make sure i am applying hydro around 😅
My spread teams that helped me clear abyss so far are :
Ei alhaitham nahida zhongli (I call it Al-Archons 😂 this is one of my fav and strongest version of spread team, was totally effective in abyss 3.4 and 3.6)
Ei alhaitham nahida kuki (carried me in 3.5 and even took down the wenut)
Ei alhaitham baizhu kazu (it was a challenge considering the high dendro resistance in 1st half of the current abyss, but i still cleared it with this team)
Instead of getting the dendro keqing I got the electro alhaitham >,>
I definitely need kuki for hyperbloom
I'm going to pull for kazuha as i don't have any anemo 5 star excluding jean😅.
Can Barabara replace Xinqui? I don't have him or Yelan😢
That’ll work ok for now :) you can also just do the spread team for now and use fischl/kuki/nahida or replacements as you have them
@@JelloImpact I have those! Thank u very much🙏🏼❤️
300+ pulls are going to wanderer c2 i dont have 1 wanderer yet, skipping Al
Yeah I have Tighnari C2 :P
Alhaitham's role is taken
0:30 yao was released with him lol
Thanks hehe
Ayaka carried me the whole game until Dendro was released and freeze was nerfed in the abyss. Alhaitham never came even close to that. Worst pull I did. I only use nahida instead of him. Dont pull for him, he is super limited and not worth. Easy thinking, best alhaitham teams need nahida. But best nahida teams dont need alhaitham
Just to be clear. Do I regret him? Yes. I have mutiple 5 stars, almost everyone, and He is never used. Completely benched.
Yeah he’s not a meta pull. Pull if you like him, his teams are very strong, but his teams work without him.
@@JelloImpactalhaitham quickbloom is the most versatile team in the game, just a bit behind international
Sorry, 300 pulls reserved for Kazuha. 😒
It's very simple. Dendro reactions are powerful, so they made dendro application limited. Also - there is no dendro off-field DPS outside of Nahida and even she can't be driven by dendro unit. Fischl is also not driven by spread. Plus no advantage from anemo. So dendro being great as basis for reactions is simply worse on it's own - in spread, that's it. There is no advantage over aggravate. Thus, Hoyo made Al-haitham very strong, to compensate for worse reaction. From game-design point of view, I have doubts if that's good really. Kinda like Nilou, that just has crazy numbers on her, but as game-design she is questionable. Meanwhile her teams are pretty chaotic in terms of reaction and often not that much synergistic, like forcing EM on Xingqiu or Kokomi - that also has highly restrictive jellyfish... But yup, she is strong and so is Al-haitham. Very interesting comparison to Cyno. Nice.
Yes I could talk for another hour about how weird Al Haitham is overall in similar vein to what you said. I had to rearrange a lot in my video to make it make sense lol it took forever to edit this one
Hes like jack of cards to many but master of none.. While hes good, hes also not necessary or neither will be an upgrade to your acc, everthing he does nahida does better and open more options to many teams as well as she is going to stay meta for long run.. while he will most likely to be go down in value once we reach natlan, since hes dps not all rounder like nahida. its obvious.
I run mono dendro with him tried getting his weapond but got xiao weapond so I bougth de battle pass and got the sword and with mono dendro I Say 3 dendros 1 electro it is real fun and destroys

*You can pull off 6 consecutive instances of rain blades with Alhaitham and you don’t need to count seconds. Just look for visual clues. Here’s how to maintain 3 mirrors:*
1. Cast Burst (Q) with zero mirrors. Then he’ll get a refund of 3 mirrors.
2. Do normal attacks (do NOT do charged attacks at this point), and procc 2 instances of rain blades.
🔪🔪
3. When you see the 2nd instance of rain blades, cast his Skill (E) to maintain 3 mirrors.
4. Do normal attacks again (still NO charged attacks) and procc 2 more instances of rain blades. _(4 rain blades at this point)_
🔪🔪🔪🔪
5. When you see the 4th instance of rain blades, now you can do a charged attack to maintain 3 mirrors.
6. Do normal attacks to procc another 2 instances of rain blades. _(Total of 6 consecutive rain blades at this point)_
🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
7. And then you can just spam his infused normal attacks until his mirrors run out. Or switch him out.
It takes practice and familiarity to do this. So be patient. But once you nail this, I assure you the satisfaction is awesome!! 🤘❇️
Tldw: you need nahida for him to be good 😂
for some reason, mine feels incredibly weak even though he’s double crowned :(
What team? What artifacts? Weapon?
@@JelloImpact I think it’s a skill issue in all honesty…my team isn’t bad. I use iron sting and a hyperbloom team with gilded dreams. My artifacts aren’t the best (bad luck haha) but he a decent crit ratio ~69/128. Sorry. I don’t doubt he’s very good, I think I’m just bad at the game.
Sounds good :) make sure somebody has deepwood memories!
Mirror management may be the key to your problem. I just started playing him yesterday but watched lots of videos and I like the following sequence for Al’s on field time : E. Burst, auto attacks for 4 seconds, E. Skill, auto attacks for 4 seconds, charged attack, auto attacks for 4 seconds. Then, swap him out to recast the other chars E. Skill or E. Burst (or w/e they need to refresh) then swap Alaitham back in and restart the same loop.
This requires him to have enough energy recharge so his E. Burst is ready when he’s back on field.
Anyway, hope this helps, good luck ! ^^
@@blondinsentenza6862 hmm.. normally I do Burst first just to get three mirrors. the problem is that his startup animation is sort of lengthy so i feel like i'm wasting abit of yelan's barbs.
