Chisel-Light Mirror
When this skill is unleashed, Alhaitham will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. If there are no Mirrors at this time, he will generate 1 additional Mirror. Chisel-Light Mirrors will have the following properties:
·When he possesses Chisel-Light Mirrors, Alhaitham's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Dendro DMG. This cannot be overridden.
·When attacks of the aforementioned kind hit opponents, the Chisel-Light Mirrors will unleash a Projection Attack that deals AoE Dendro DMG based on the number of Mirrors on the field.
·A total of 3 Chisel-Light Mirrors can exist at once.
·The Chisel-Light Mirrors will disappear one after the other over time, and will all disappear when Alhaitham leaves the field.

TitleText
Character DetailsA capable person who keeps a low profile for too long is often perceived as someone with a mysterious identity and ulterior purposes. Alhaitham himself is a powerful rebuttal to all these cliché views: He is a brilliant man, but he is only an ordinary employee of the Akademiya, with a stable job and a cushy house in Sumeru, leading a carefree and comfortable life.
Sometimes, people find it next to impossible to catch the current scribe in his office. Little do they know about the scribe, other than his name, "Alhaitham," and that he is supposed to be present during work hours. The fact is, no one knows his whereabouts, and all they can do is leave documents and files on his desk.
Alhaitham couldn't be more satisfied with how things are. The man might be at home or in the library, but he'll never appear where people wish him to be.
Having an entirely unpredictable schedule affords undisturbed freedom.
Character Story 1The title of a "scribe" may sound impressive to most Akademiya students, but this fancy name is just a product of the Akademiya's culture to use unnecessarily high-flown titles.
In truth, the scribe does not have to be present at all major meetings, nor does he participate in core decision-making. The scribe is simply responsible for classifying and archiving important documents. However, in Sumeru, where books and manuscript documents were once managed as a resource, the scribe is one of the most "in-the-know" people in the entire Akademiya. One can say that this position is rather similar to that of the Grand Conservator — after all, the person who manages texts will have privileged access to profound wisdom.
As the current scribe of the Sumeru Akademiya, Alhaitham acts in perfect compliance with his role: He does not attend any non-essential meetings, and when he is required to be present, he only records key points, jotting down other minute details based on his mood. If the meeting does not affect his personal interests or fails to pique his curiosity, he will not be bothered to give any comments. He does make comments, however, when someone has come up with something offensively foolish — and one should expect these comments to be more blunt than necessary.
Such is Alhaitham's life philosophy: Whenever the need for his judgment arises, one must be ready to accept any means and privileges he might require to make that judgment. Fortunately for everyone, Alhaitham notes that he is too lazy to possess too many ambitions.
All scholars seek knowledge and the truth. Some do so for fame, while others, for ambition. And some others enjoy conquering knowledge and the truth, transcending them, and savoring the sense of superiority in the process. Alhaitham isn't any one of them. He is only driven by what intrigues him. He believes that many scholars have already become lost in their pursuits, taking the truth as a tool or even a shortcut to self-realization.
However, whether one seeks it or not, the truth is always there, hanging high above the sky like an illuminating star. It is not the end of a trip or the destination of a match. It is and shall remain constant, regardless of human existence. Also, human pursuits will not simply end after certain knowledge has been acquired — though people never doubt that they can claim the fruit with joy and are prepared to sacrifice everything for it, their desire for knowledge will keep them going.
Those who fail to see through the truth set themselves on an endless path, while those with clear minds will say: The truth did not come into being to serve anyone, and whoever is unable to harness their desire for knowledge will be destroyed by it. Such is the rule of the Nation of Wisdom. Of course, if you want to blend in, you are welcome to fake such a posture.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2To the people of Sumeru, those who played a part in the operation to save Lesser Lord Kusanali are deemed to be heroes. However, a great many who make such compliments don't really know the full story. They simply repeat a fragment of a tale that they find inspiring. As one of the protagonists in their stories, Alhaitham has no opinion whatsoever about being a "hero," nor does he believe that these stories are worth talking about.
Meanwhile, Alhaitham has declined the Akademiya's offer to become the Grand Sage multiple times. But given the chaos in Sumeru, Alhaitham eventually agreed to serve as Acting Grand Sage temporarily.
It already defied common logic for someone to refuse the titles of Sage and Grand Sage, and yet Alhaitham went further still, resigning and returning to his humble role as Scribe at the agreed-upon time instead of clinging to power.
If he did manage to gain anything from it at all, it was the financial benefits: His salary stayed the same after his resignation, not to mention the several high-quality research projects that he was able to complete on his own. There is no doubt, then, that he will lead a well-off life. In addition, his interpersonal relationships have also improved, as he has more or less befriended the other participants in the archon-saving operation — they have gotten close to the point where Alhaitham might greet these people with a nod or two when he sees them.
Sometimes, Lesser Lord Kusanali will also invite Alhaitham to the Sanctuary of Surasthana to discuss various matters. He has met many people there: the General Mahamatra Cyno, the mercenary Dehya, and Nilou, star of the Zubayr Theater. Nilou even once asked him: "How did you manage to come up with such a bold plan? When I think back on it, we were all quite lucky to not get hurt..."
Nilou hesitated before she continued, and Alhaitham understood her confusion, for anyone would have wondered how he could have stayed unscathed despite the influence of the Divine Knowledge Capsule. But in Alhaitham's eyes, he was never in danger, for he had never used any capsules.
As for how he had managed to do that, it was all thanks to his role as the scribe. As a scholar lucky enough to have read the Akasha's system manual, he had studied the headset and Canned Knowledge, such that he knew how to alter the status signal of the Akasha. He had even once thought of reversing the holographic shield of the Akasha Terminal and projecting it to the back of his head to offer protection from attacks on that front.
It has been proven that a plan lays the foundation for everything, and that prior research lays the foundation for a plan. Alhaitham, who had no interest in boasting about how he remained unscathed, answered Nilou's question with another: "As far as I know, Cyno and Dehya are also curious about this, yet you are the only one who has raised this question. Were they just too shy to ask me themselves?"
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Alhaitham seldom discusses personalities or dispositions with others. He believes that the prevalent theories about them are wrong. Suppose someone insists that one's character has nothing to do with their abilities and opinions, the person with such a view will find themselves unable to judge any aspect of another person. A smart person will often hold different attitudes towards a foolish person and another smart person, and the foolish often think differently when facing success and failure. People's views on Alhaitham are proof of this point — given his superb talents and egocentric personality, no one wants to get too close to him, but still, they see him as an outstanding scholar.
This is exactly the public image Alhaitham desires. Many scholars are rigid and inflexible, but Alhaitham is not one of them. As a matter of fact, his occasional sarcasm in part reflects his philosophy. Society (or the collective) relies on rules to regulate individuals, and language is one of these regulative tools. Turning language against its original design serves to challenge unreasonable rules, and one can thus stay out of trouble.
The word "talented" is abused within the Akademiya, and so are "born differently," "touched by the archon," and such... In Sumeru, one's talents are a trial. Outstanding talent is not necessarily seen as a perfect gift, but it also divides people. For instance, to compliment someone with unimaginable achievements, ordinary folk often call them a "genius," or "superhuman," or a "prodigy"... But upon reflection, one will soon notice another layer of meaning that even the speakers themselves have not realized: That the talented and the ordinary are categorically different.
If someone is capable of things that others aren't, they must have been endowed with some special abilities and gifts. Excessive compliments for and wild imagination regarding outstanding people only serve to alienate them. "They are successful because they are different" — such is the typical excuse favored by underachievers. These ignorant notions mean nothing to Alhaitham. Though he does know his way around people, he will not waste his time on such trivial matters.
Rules define borders and set limits. Yet these rules should not be judged solely on the number of people they limit. Therefore, Alhaitham has come up with his own set of rules with which he perceives everything and challenges the world. It is the crystallization of his philosophy. To maintain these rules of his own fashioning, Alhaitham acts on his own will and deals with anything that appears harmful in his eyes.
Only with objective judgment can one see the truth. By acknowledging the differences between individuals and recognizing differing levels of capabilities and mental capacities, one will discover the answer right away: Judgment from others is inconsequential, but to leave the right of judgment in others' hands is equal to denying oneself. To be "different" should not simply be a label given to you by others. Rather, the talented should have long understood that their uniqueness is also a gift.
To put it another way, when a talented person truly understands that they are different and that they are indisputably ingenious, only then can they truly understand the value of their abilities. And as for cowards who remain blinded by perspectives advocated by the great majority, they have not yet found their true selves.

Character Story 4To live a peaceful and comfortable life, one must meet a few requirements first: Congruous personality and logic, adequate fighting prowess, a slow-paced job, and a cushy house in the vicinity of one's office.
Alhaitham has checked all the boxes above. He would never deny that no place suits him better than the Nation of Wisdom, where social capital is linked to one's academic abilities.
His current house, which is located near the Akademiya, is one of the academic resources that he gained through promising research projects. This house's story dates back to Alhaitham's student years. If his classmates still remember him, they will recall that he was not one to mingle with the crowd. As a result, he has only participated in one joint research project. Despite its eventual success, the project resulted in a huge quarrel and a parting of ways. Little do people know about Alhaitham's part in this story, though they might be acquainted with the other protagonist: The Kshahrewar architect Kaveh.
This academic incident is not very widely-known — and in truth, the tale of two geniuses falling out due to differing perspectives is an all-too-familiar one in the Akademiya. But even though their collaboration did fall through, neither of them will deny the other party's exceptional brilliance. As for their research, the Akademiya would later transfer the relevant assets to the researchers involved as per regulation.
Although the two did not continue that research, its great success in the early stage still serves as compelling proof of Alhaitham's academic ability. Later, the Akademiya even used this project, which they had forgotten to cancel, as a reference for allocating housing resources, and as such, Alhaitham was given a very decent house befitting his participation in this ingenious project. But the other contributor, Kaveh, had never approached Alhaitham regarding that allocation. It wasn't until later that Kaveh had someone inform Alhaitham and the Akademiya that he was not in want of a house and thus had no use of this property.
When next they met, Kaveh had gone bankrupt. According to Alhaitham, this former friend of his possesses a personality and values that are not congruous with his abilities. The two differ on too many things and cannot reach a consensus even today.
Allowing Kaveh to stay in this house provides Alhaitham with an interesting research topic: Legally and socially speaking, since Kaveh has previously forfeited the right to his half of this house, he should pay the landlord during his stay. However, paying rent would, to some extent, deny his contribution to the research, which contradicts the academic spirit.
An intriguing matter to consider, but Alhaitham has no interest in the answer. Thus, he has taken his broke former colleague in, collects rent as the rightful landlord, and gives his colleague some household chores. He is well aware of the dissatisfaction Kaveh might have, but it matters not to him. As far as Alhaitham is concerned, Kaveh is a familiar face, similarly lacks familial attachments, and is the polar opposite of himself as a scholar — that is to say, an excellent mirror. Human vision is limited, but it can be perfected through the presence of another genius. Taking this opportunity, Alhaitham will be able to observe other aspects of this world and thus understand more things that may have otherwise been unfathomable.

Character Story 5The Nation of Wisdom places academics and knowledge above everything else. As such, a scholar acknowledged by others within the Akademiya usually possesses a higher social status. Alhaitham was born to just such a family of well-received scholars. His parents died very early in an accident, and he was raised by his grandmother, a Kshahrewar scholar.
Alhaitham doesn't have many recollections of his parents. He learned from his grandmother that they were both employed by the Akademiya, with his father being a mentor in Haravatat and his mother, a renowned scholar in Vahumana.
Alhaitham has inherited his parents' intelligence, and he was always the sharp kid amongst his peers, so much so that he started reading abstruse academic journals at around the age of seven. Having noticed his exceptional talents, Alhaitham's grandmother suggested that he attend school early. However, it only took half a day in the Akademiya for little Alhaitham to report this back to his grandmother: Everyone he met there was boring and he preferred reading alone to listening to their meaningless courses. Alhaitham's grandmother saw his parents' talents and personalities in him, and agreed to let him stay home to be self-taught.
To Alhaitham, "to be self-taught" means to read, break down, reorganize, and question. Due to his family background, he was lucky to be exposed to books made of paper. Interestingly enough, he takes more pleasure in reading his grandmother's hard-copy collections than obtaining knowledge from the Akasha directly.
As opposed to the Akasha, books are inflexible and rigid, and there is no guarantee that their contents are error-free either. To use such a medium of knowledge is to dance with potential misinformation. The majority of people in Sumeru hate this, but Alhaitham derives great enjoyment from it. It was from reading that he acquired the ability to learn, analyze, and even rectify, and ultimately, he has learned to question. If the rustic and primitive method known as reading is ever any trouble, it is trouble that Alhaitham appreciates.
Alhaitham's grandmother told him: "You and your father both like reading. Now, I can't say if the two of you have been given too much share of wisdom or not, but always remember that being different is a gift."
Knowledge is to be recognized, pursued, and trusted, but one should never forget to question it. Perhaps only those who come to such an understanding will not be easily moved by Canned Knowledge and other convenient knowledge media. And only someone who had already met these prerequisites would have casually read the Akasha manual sealed deep within the House of Daena.
As Alhaitham's grandmother had said, books contain useless information, and sometimes in large amounts, but his sharp mind will sift through them — and if a book he has read lingers in his memory, it will come in handy one day.
After his grandmother's passing, Alhaitham managed her funeral on his own, inheriting her properties and her small library. Before she passed away, Alhaitham's grandmother gave him this earnest blessing: "You are such a smart child. Many such people have large egos and a propensity to act on their own. You are outstanding and possess a broader horizon than ordinary people. This is not a bad thing, but you must take care to have a clearer mind than others. You must understand that vain pursuits are but dust, and that you must discern your path with the greatest of wisdom."
Later, Alhaitham applied for the Akademiya and was immediately admitted, scoring high marks in the Haravatat entrance exam. He was informed that his grandmother had also applied for him to be able to attend classes in other Darshans. Following his late grandmother's advice, Alhaitham has always kept a low profile and a clear mind, and always makes decisions for himself.
Years later, when Alhaitham moved into his new house, he brought all those books over. While sorting through them, he flipped through a few that he had read long ago. The journals that had well-wishes written on their title pages were from his mother's collection, and the ones with reference materials inserted between pages and notes on the margins had once belonged to his father. On top of them, there was a thick book with an exquisite, emerald-colored cover. On the title page, his grandmother had written thus: May my child Alhaitham lead a peaceful life.

The Doer's Belt PouchA sturdy and durable green belt pouch.
People often mistake it for a wide belt, an impression perhaps reinforced by its color being in perfect harmony with Alhaitham's outfit.
There are only a few things in this pouch: Keys, some recent read of Alhaitham's, and a portable music player that goes with his headphones.
Alhaitham personally made the music player when he first became the scribe, and it is connected to the headphones via cables of the same color. He sometimes uses the gadget to play music, and other times, to block noise.

Vision"The value of language is not limited to words. A unified language helps to govern thoughts. Language is the bottom line, rules, weapons, and violence. By making our language unique, we can open up a special path to the relative completion of minds.
Governing thoughts may appear meaningless to some, but to others, it has a very significant meaning. Individuals' pursuit of uniqueness gives rise to various languages and media. People are controlled by language under many circumstances."
As Alhaitham flipped through these pages, reaching the end of the book and its back cover, he realized that an intricate ornament had been underneath the tome this whole time.
Of course, he knew what it was — a Vision, the proof of one's power. However, this item did not mean much to him.
A believer might have perceived this divine item to be a thing most lofty, but to him, it was no more than a useful tool.
Alhaitham was out on a research trip when he was given the Vision.
He didn't plan to dwell too much on it. It belonged to him, after all, so what difference would it make if he checked on it tomorrow, as opposed to today?
And just like the knowledge he has acquired, what he has obtained shall always remain in his possession.

  1. No matter what happens to my beloved daddy Haitham, I will pull him. I just wish his scaling could be a better…But it’s alright. I’ll prove all those trashy Shitqing mains that Alhaitham is still superior! I don’t care what happens to him, I will always love him and treasure him as the true Luxurious Chest of my account. Plus, I even wrote a bad review on the game about Alhaitham, and so many others are doing that as well, we must stay strong Alhaitham lovers!

  2. Warning: some trolls are illegally using my name to spew falsehoods. They are probably paid by Genshin to convince you to pull for useless weapons and weak 5*. Unfortunately this is typical of gacha games, always trying to manipulate you and steal your money.

      And nobody can steal your money if you’re the one choosing to spend it.

        • More often than not, there is a consistent flood of troll posts here that contribute nothing but petty fighting. Lots of bullying, harassment, and general spam too. People type whatever they want here. The ability to post without an account is good for people just wanting to visit occasionally and discuss things. But at the same time, it makes it easier for people to troll/spam more freely.

          So yes, this forum is largely un-moderated. -shrugs-

    • You are not the voice of reason and should be ignored. You are only playing/looking over Genshin for high numbers because you think this game is both an MMORPG and “competitive” when it isn’t. Your ideology is a fallacy and you can even lose with C6 5-characters with R5 weapons. Stop being ignorant.

  3. You are annoying for sure.

    ~ Another imposter time, comment above is not by me ~

    And I didn’t do maths between Tighnari and him so I can’t tell. I like Tighnari because he goes well with Yae and Nahida in quick swap style tho. I don’t think AlHaitham will have the same synergie with Yae. But it’s not because I won’t pull (I have other options I like in my box) that AlHaitham is a absolute skip. Stop spreading false information please. Let the char come in game and be tested.

  4. He got the biggest nerf so far in Genshin im amazed. I was planning to pull for him cause he has crazy multipliers(plus being dendro) now im reconsidering. Wtf is the MHY doing, he is already a bland character that copy almost like Keqing and now they suddenly nerf all the leftover good bits of him. Didn’t really need another meta since latest was Nahida, he was playable before but now they butchered him lol.

    I dont like this new Genshin pattern. MHY is obviously pushing people to get 5* chars to C2 and 4* to C6 to get them in full use.

        • With that mindset, your Raiden/Hu Tao/Ayaka, etc. would be gathering dust on the bench in less than a year. All that time farming and building them would be a complete waste. Where’s the fun and value in that? Might as well play a Korean MMORPG and farm a new set of BiS gear every 6 months.

          • uhh not really why would they gather dust in pve game? you can clear the abyss maybe couple of seconds faster so what?
            would you rather have new characters gather dust? and keep on playing same characters even 5 years from now only archons being able to stand with the some of the top tier ones maybe

          • New characters aren’t gathering dust. You just don’t know how to build and play them. The fact that you think only Archons are viable these days is laughable.

        • well i used your own logic here “Raiden/Hu Tao/Ayaka, etc. would be gathering dust on the bench in less than a year.”
          if they make weak characters that are nowhere near the toptier lot of people just gonna skip therefore gathering dust.

          also why are you even afraid of powergreep in pve game? how does that even make your raiden or hu tao team shit in abyss in anyway? like if some team manages to clear abyss faster and becoming part of top tier why would it matter? your old characters still shines there

          “The fact that you think only Archons are viable these days is laughable.”
          I would assume mihoyo would make archons more powerfull than normal characters to sell them since they are just once a year and Nahida is already turning out to be strong and so is Raiden would be no suprice if the archons keep coming strong and not weak

          power greep like matters more in pvp games where they introduce more and more characters and players are competiting against each other but even then would you really want game that has zero powergreep even then the same meta units would just stay top tier and people would not maybe even go for new ones since they would care abaut their rank or whatever pvp gachas have

          • Characters that you skip can’t be gathering dust on your account. What kind of logic is that? lol I guarantee that people are playing characters that you think are weak and don’t own. And they are using them to get 36-stars in the Abyss even now.

            Powercreep matters in PvE games just as much as it does in PvP. As long as you’re using a tool (in this case, characters) to combat something else, its power level matters.
            T
            hink about: If HYV were to keep releasing characters that are in every way superior to the ones before them… they would have to increase the difficulty of the Abyss to the point where even a completely whaled out Raiden National team couldn’t complete it at all. And that’s saying something considering how people can already get 36 stars with duo teams.

            You have no clue what you’re actually demanding or how powercreep affects the balance of any game. What Genshin should do is release characters that perform similarly in terms of power, but also allow a variety of playstyles and encourage tactical gameplay.

            I don’t entirely agree with some of the kits choices HYV has made, but powercreep isn’t the answer.

    • Nah. They design character to work at c0 for 5* and some c for 4*. Just take it as “normal” Mode, while cons for 5* is “easy” Mode.

    • Omg… Are you serious? Nilou “Strongest DPS”? I don’t hate any particular char but these kind of comments have me wonder.

      What makes you say that? Nilou isn’t a DPS per se character. Sure her unique reaction makes she deal decent damage but she’s nowhere to be the “Strongest DPS” due to certain limitations she holds. She’s a Sub/Sup DPS.

      What limitations she has? Well she’s team locked and her unique bloom cores can’t evolve to hyperbloom and/or burgeon, which to say Hyperbloom easily outperforms Nilou’s cores damage and also have homing capabilities. She’s like Eula, without her unique bloom, she can’t sustain damage whereas Alhaitham will surely do and on top of that He will also deal some good damage from reactions.

      HoYoverse won’t make outright broken characters because the whole game is a casual-ish experience, reducing as much as possible the powercreep so people can enjoy the game to the fullest with the chars they like.

      • Just to clarify.
        I made calcs and Nilou’s bloom are stronger than Hyperblooms with same stats. Not by far but it’s the reason why Hoyo made the last change in Nilou’s beta (less personnal damage for higher bloom buff so it’s not beaten by Hyperbloom in ST scenarios). Plus Hyperbloom may home but they are single target (AoE dmg is really small, ennemies have to hug) while Nilou’s core have a great AoE and is better for MT scenarios. Cores spawn near the ennemi then explode instantly, I don’t see any matter here, you can’t really miss them.

        And for personnal damage, well, bloom style is her personnal damage contribution. Otherwise, in mono hydro she is fun to play and efficient, in vape she can deal huge nuke damage.

      • Correction : For a f2p Nilou with 60K HP, Hyperbloom deals between 0% and 11% (from 750 to 1500 EM) more damage than Bontiful cores. That’s not a huge difference like you said. And Hyperbloom is single target while Bountiful cores are AoE so Bountiful cores value stay higher for 2+ ennemies.

        My last take was because I have Khaj Nisut. Bountiful cores deals 3,3% more DMG than HyperBloom with my 73K HP Nilou and 1200 EM (34,6K vq 33,4K). You need 1 450+ EM to deal the same dmg with Hyperbloom than with 73K HP Nilou Bountiful cores.

          As for the ST/MT scenarios; both have their pros and cons.
