| Character Details | A 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 1 | The 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 2 | To 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 3 | Alhaitham 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. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | To 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. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | The 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. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| The Doer's Belt Pouch | A 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. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| 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. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

Eureka , E auto attacks cycle then Q then charged attack , u get Q with 8 slashes and full uptime on dendro infusion with 2 mirrors .
Hi all,
I would like to share my understanding on ‘projection’ dmg since I have noticed a lot of confusion here.
For the skill, I think projection dmg works like this:
At 3 mirrors, skill dmg will be ‘3 mirror projection’ dmg.
1 mirror used and drop to 2 mirrors, so skill dmg will be ‘2 mirror projection’ dmg and so on.
Basically at 3 mirrors, total dmg is 3 mirror projection + 2 mirror projection + 1 mirror projection.
With understanding of the skill out of the way, I will discuss Al Haitham’s kit now.
Longer infusion than Keqing. Each mirror means a 4 sec infusion time and +’1 projection’ dmg.
You get one or two mirrors from skill. If 0 mirrors before using skill, you get 2. If 1 mirror before using skill, you get 1.
You can get another mirror from ascension passive talent 1. After you charge attack, he gets 1 mirror. So to get 3 mirrors and 12 sec infusion without burst, you do skill then 1 CA (Charged attack). 18 – 12 = 6 sec downtime.
Positive:
Like Keqing, can transfer your muscle memory.
ATK% + EM% scaling for mirror projection dmg and burst dmg.
Great 2nd ascension passive which gives additional EM% scaling on projection and burst.
Infusion can last 4-12 seconds and another 4-12 seconds after burst. Can swap anytime to reenable off field skills and bursts, like Kuki and Kazuha stuff.
Low downtime: as stated above, skill cooldown 18 sec – 3 mirror infusion 12 sec = 6 sec downtime.
EM scalings means better Spread and non-Spread DMG, and better reaction DMG.
Majority of Burst DMG depends on Skill talent lvl.
Dendro DMG% ascension, so more base dmg.
Single target On-field DPS, who does multihit DMG.
Skill, Projection and Burst are AOE, somewhat solves AOE problem from NA.
Fast and frequent on field Dendro application from NA, Skill, Burst
Negative:
Unlike Keqing, no crit stats on ascension, so crit relies on artifacts, weapons, teammates.
Burst talent lvl affects only the initial dmg.
Mirrors are removed once Al Haitham switches out, so no off field potential.
NA and CA knockback issue? Crowd Control solves? Not sure, never played Keqing.
Potentially boring gameplay since his playstyle is not that unique, let’s wait and see in test run.
Probably not that good in Bloom and Burgeon teams for his own DMG since other units apply faster. Then again he’s Spread dps.
Niche Spread dps. Again, let’s wait and see since Nilou is niche but really good.
EM relies on Artifacts, Weapon, team comp, teammates. Only good teammates for EM buff would be Nahida, C2 Kazuha, on Fridge team maybe Diona C6, etc.
Kazuha cannot give Dendro DMG bonus.
Cannot swirl Dendro for Viridescent Venerer.
You may become sad if you lose the 50/50. Getting Keqing may be more hurtful.
Other:
Good NA CA multipliers and 20 stamina cost for CA so better than Keqing multipliers. Higher NA mults than Keqing, but lower CA mult than Keqing for less stamina cost. Unsure about CA speed.
70 energy cost can be hard to manage with solo Haitham and no favonius. Nahida fixes problem.
On team without Nahida, Kazuha can easily swirl Electro, meaning more Electro application and more dmg for Electro sub dps like Fischl, Miko, Raiden, Beidou, etc. Not sure how Quicken works though, if Spread gets interrupted by Aggravate and whatnot. So without Nahida is DMG loss but higher dmg for Electro units.
Not many artifact sets right now, but Deepwood and Gilded Dreams is an efficient domain.
If he has a dedicated artifact set, more farming on a probably inefficient domain.
Can work on Hyperbloom teams with occasional Spread, but probably has inconsistent bloom creation. Also Al Haitham will not trigger Hyperbloom.
NA does not receive EM scaling, but can do Spread dmg that uses EM.
For more DMG, Deepwood set is required on a teammate, depending on character will reduce their personal dmg, e.g. Kuki loses some EM. But Al Haitham will do more dmg and will overfill their dmg loss.
Talent priority:
For NA spam, Skill>NA>Burst. When infusion ends, you burst for more infusion.
For Burst dps, Skill>Burst>NA. Skill is majority of burst dmg, and you need more mirrors to do more burst dmg.
Burst uses skill multipliers for the majority of its dmg.
Burst talent lvl only affects initial dmg.
The best thing would be for burst talent lvl to increase amount of projection hits, but that most likely won’t happen.
Best teammates:
Off field application – Kazuha, Nahida, Kuki, Fischl, Beidou, Miko, Raiden, Xingqiu, Yelan, Xiangling, etc.
RES decrease/EM, ATK buffers – Nahida, Bennett, Kazuha C2, Deepwood holder. Others include Albedo, Diona C6, Sara,
Crowd Control/AOE – Kazuha, Nahida, Venti, Yelan
His best team is Spread team. Best artifact set would probably be Gilded Dreams or his signature set if he gets one.
He is flexible to an extent due to having good application, though being a Dendro on field dps limits him that he will only be the main dps and never the sub dps or support, similar to Itto, Keqing, Hu Tao, etc. But these main dps characters udually make up for this with overpowering dps.
This is my overanalysis based on the above information and one gameplay leak on Youtube. Some things might not be accurate, and everything is still subject to change.
TLDR: Dendro EM scaling Keqing with some brain usage
Bro is skipping leg days. He has skinny chicken legs in those video showcases lol. Still got drip tho
Xiao was the last good 5* male char. Every male after him had been pretty mediocre. A sad fact for husbando enjoyers
my guy forgot about Kazuha..
wtf bro. kazuha is better than xiao in all aspects. Itto is “special” (idiot) and it works. Cyno is similar to Xiao (good background but VERY FLAT character) Alhaitham is similar to kazuha. good gamplay, good background and good develop. you’re wrong my guy. (but i say the game needs more variety, is waifu impact. i like it, but is boring)
Flashy and unique design wasted by copy paste Kekqing kit. Not to mention the ultimate mid element – dendro.
keqing with dendro are close to top tier teams. Alhaitham kit works for players who don’t have keching or want similar playstile with different core. similar to xinqiu-yelan or fishcl-yae but in this case both have similar potential (we need see the final numbers and nerfs/Buffs incoming)
If he’s a spread Keqing, he’ll be really good.
Best team may be
Al-H/Fischl/2nd electro or Kuki/Kazuha.
We need to know if he’s a quick swap character like Keqing because if he’s not, you may need other team configurations.
It’s funny that Al’s kit as it is today, is way better than Cyno’s. Even worse when you think that Cyno could have had the advantage of Kazuha’s buffs, but no, HV messed everything up.
12s of uptime on his skill and infusion. There will be swapping, but only as often as any Hu Tao/Yoimiya teams.
FINALLY an actual DPS character! Waaaay better than Scaramid that’s for sure… Wouldn’t be suppressed if he does more damage than Raiden, Xiangling and Ayayka combined at this point. Dump all your primos on the #1 best meta DPS character in the game everyone!
Alhaitham simps .. I’m sorry what.. There is no way he does more then Raiden and Ayaka Combined … Not saying he’s bad.. but I don’t think he’s gonna do THAT much damage. Plus.. how is he meta. he isn’t released.. what happened to Eula, Ganyu, Hu Tao, etc?
Incredible, genshin player doesn’t get irony
Kinda weird that he scales with Dendro DMG, makes no sense if he’s build like a DPS, only 4* characters and some very few 5* charaters scales with something else besides Crit DMG or Rate%, the only reason I see here for this to happen is if he’s an enabler like Childe, still by the looks of his kit, he doesn’t seem to apply Dendro fast enough to be able to work as an enabler, you’d be better of with Nahida tbh, but let’s see how this goes, expecting leaks very soon lol
I think you are underestimating how important the dendro damage bonus is. There are like no dendro damage bonuses in the game, and his signature weapon already has 88 crit damage on it. Just stacking crit rate and crit damage is not the only things to be considered in damage
Dendro Dmg Bonus is actually factored in for Spread Damage; he’s clearly built like a Keqing (whom is an aggravate carry) so Alhaitham is a spread carry. Dendro DMG is really good for him.
Damage bonus is a higher damage increase then crit its usually better for charters while crit makes them more easy to build
Still, dmg% is usually better than crit, more than half of genshin’s DPS roaster would do more dmg if they had dmg% instead of crit.
Lets go finally a good character and not the ahole twink which got released this patch
Lmao, for someone that doesn’t like him, he sure does seem to live rent free in your head.
C2 Raiden or C0 Alhaitham? Serious question. His numbers look absolutely good tbh.
Genshin impact is for fun. the “ONLY” true challenge in the game is Abyss 12 full stars. all can done abyss 12 with simple teams, and get “broken” C to 5star char…, rlly you need that? if you want more power but no characters, go to weapon banner. if you want characters for fun, go to new characters to explore new comps and gameplays.
someone do math calculations i want to see his damage
It’ll be mediocre just like Cyno and Scaradouche. No math required cuz they are identical mid dps
Bye, troll.
@ OP: It’s kinda early for reliable calculations to be made atm. Especially when the the kit is STC throughout beta.
