Here’s a detailed guide on Alhaitham’s talents, constellations, ascension materials, and the best builds for optimizing his gameplay.
As a Dendro swordsman, Alhaitham brings a unique set of abilities to the table. Let's dive into everything you need to know about enhancing and utilizing his full potential in Genshin Impact.
Alhaitham Skills
Alhaitham wields his sword with precision and flair. His kit revolves around managing "Chisel-Light Mirror" stacks which do Projection Attacks when Al-Haitham has at least one. Here’s a breakdown of his talents:
- Normal Attack: Abductive Reasoning - Executes up to 5 rapid strikes.
- Elemental Skill: Universality: An Elaboration on Form - Rushes forward, dealing Dendro damage and creating a Chisel-Light Mirror. Holding the skill allows aiming, generating an additional mirror if none exist.
- Elemental Burst: Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena - Unleashes a field that deals Dendro damage and deals extra damage based on Chisel-Light Mirror stacks. This consumes all Mirrors.
Passive Abilities
Alhaitham's passive abilities provide crucial advantages:
- Law of Reductive Overdetermination - 10% chance to double weapon ascension materials while crafting.
- Four-Causal Correction - Generates a Chisel-Light Mirror with successful Charged or Plunging Attacks on opponents.
- Mysteries Laid Bare - Increases damage of Projection Attacks and Elemental Burst based on Elemental Mastery.
Constellations
Alhaitham's constellations amplify his abilities significantly:
- Intuition - Reduces the cooldown of his Elemental Skill when a Projection Attack hits an opponent.
- Debate - Increases Elemental Mastery upon generating a Chisel-Light Mirror.
- Negation - Increases the level of Universality: An Elaboration on Form.
- Elucidation - Enhances Alhaitham's Elemental Mastery and Dendro DMG when Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena consumes Chisel-Light Mirrors.
- Sagacity - Increases the level of Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena.
- Structuration - Boosts Alhaitham's stats with active Chisel-Light Mirrors and makes it easier to build up stacks.
