He was one of the most anticipated Dendro characters and he is the premier Dendro DPS in the Genshin Impact roster. He has a very complicated and rewarding playstyle that makes him the best in his field. The fact that he has a rather complex gameplay is very fitting considering he is the Scribe of Sumeru Akademiya and a genius planner in the Sumeru Archon Quest. This Genshin Impact guide will cover how to build and play Alhaitham in his various team comps to bring the best out of him.

Alhaitham’s Artifacts
The sands should be EM unless it is difficult to hit his ER threshold, in which case ER sand may be equipped. Alhaitham needs around 150-170% ER if he is the only Dendro character on the team. This requirement is brought down to 140% if there is another Dendro teammate.
| Sands | Goblet | Circlet |
|---|---|---|
| EM/ER | Dendro DMG bonus | Crit rate/Crit DMG |
The best artifact set for Alhaitham is the 4pcGilded Dreams, under the condition that another teammate is using the 4pcDeepwood Memories. This configuration is the best for Alhaitham’s DMG potential. However, if no one in the team is using 4pcDeepwood Memories, Alhaitham should equip it. Check outthis articlefor a detailed explanation of Alhaitham’s best artifact sets.
Genshin Impact Alhaitham: Playstyle, Team Comps and Constellations
Playstyle
Alhaitham needs to be played on-field most of the time to capitalize on his Mirror mechanics. An ideal rotation would be, to begin with, his burst to obtain the maximum number of Mirrors, then use his skill or charged attack to gain another mirror when one disappears. The goal is to maintain 3 Mirrors for as long as possible and continue normal attacking.
Most of Alhaitham’s DMG comes from the Spread reaction, his raw Dendro DMG does not make up a significant portion of his overall DMG. Check outthis articlefor a detailed explanation of Alhaitham’s playstyle.
Team comps
The best team for Alhaitham would be a Spread team. Spread is the reactionElectro + Dendro + Dendro. This reaction scales off the level and EM of the character triggering it, in this case, Alhaitham. A spread team requires at least one Electro unit to function, this could be Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu. Alhaitham can be used in a Bloom team to generate Bloom seeds. This team requires an off-field Hydro applier like Xinqiu/Yelan to function. He can also be used as the driver for a Nilou Bloom team.
Hyperbloom is one of the best reactions in Genshin Impact at the moment, and Alhaitham also easily slots into a Hyperbloom team with Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu as the Hyperbloom trigger. In this team, the Electro character’s level and EM will be taken into account for the Hyperbloom DMG. Alhaitham is still bringing his raw Dendro DMG to the table.Check outthis articlefor a detailed explanation of Alhaitham’s best team comps.
Constellations
Alhaitham’s best constellations are C2 and C6. His C6 also makes his C4 more valuable. However, players do not need to go for their constellations since he functions perfectly at C0. His constellations do not fix any problem with his base kit, they only increase his DMG. Check outthis articlefor a detailed breakdown of Alhaitham’s constellations.
Final Thoughts
At the moment, Alhaitham is the second-best Dendro character and the best Dendro main DPS character in Genshin Impact. He is relatively easy to build and does not require 5* teammates to reach his potential. He is one of the most free-to-play-friendly DPS characters so far.
