| 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 |

F2P brokie here but am I reading his C6 right. His crit rate and crit dmg buff from excess mirrors have no cap? He can get like 210 crit dmg for free or sumn?
No hard limit, but getting a surplus of 2 mirrors is super hard. A surplus one one mirror is doable though.
Perhaps, the second clause is “If this effect is triggered again, the duration of the buff will be increased by 6s”, nothing about being a stacking effect, only extra long bufftime
~99% chance his burst gets nerfed. As is with artifacts that have no substats, r1 freedom sworn, and the only support being a Nahida burst, one elemental skill, one charged attack, and finally his burst he one shots the current thunder manifestation in floor 12 abyss. That just isn’t balanced.
i love keqing and now they realese alhaitham and his skill look so cool well idk about his damage but im gonna enjoy playing this game if i got him, sry scara im gonna skip u
Already lost my 50/50 to Keqing on Scara Banner, I think i’m going for this handsome dude.
Man I don’t usually complain about characters before they release but what the hell is this ?
Literally keqing copy paste with the skill and burst, and I’m not sure why, but his normal attacks feel kinda familiar too, especially with that kick. I’m not sure how his damage is and how his kit works since I’m too lazy to read through most of it, but hopefully he’s not awful in that regard.
With the multipliers he has right now, probably absolutely insanity. hes absolutely gonna get a nerf, probably
which artifact good for him…?
So far probably gilded dream
Listen up, of course Alhaitham looks weak compared to Scaramouche. Newsflash: all dps do. There has been enough powercreep with Wanderer, let Genshin release weaker dps for a long while so that Scara remains top of the food chain.
the fact that wanderer is powercreeping everyone in exploration makes yall simps think hes powercreeping everyone at everything. No , his gameplay is pretty damn clunky unless you use a shield and his scaling isnt that amazing either. ur saying he powercrept all the DPSes that means it includes Hu Tao/Ganyu/Ayaka. while i do agree hes better than some of the five star DPS released , hes not the best.
But Wanderer is not best DPS like at all..I love him and I think his damage is really good, but Alhaitham seems to do better damage and feels more comfortable in battle. Hu Tao, Ganyu, Ayaka are still better in dmg then Wanderer, he is just much more fun and better in exploration, but not meta
Everytime there’s a new character with similar vision and weapon or some mechanic that other characters have, we all be like “Oh it’s just this character but it’s 5-star” or “Oh it’s just that character but with different element”. And everytime once the character releases magically it goes from “Kazuha is Sucrose but 5 star” into “KAZUHA IS MUST”, “Shenhe is 5 star Rosaria” into “Shenhe is INSANE”, from “Ganyu is just 5* cryo Amber” to “GANYU IS BROKEN”, “Yelan is 5* bow Xingqui”, “Itto is 5 star Noelle”, “Cyno is 5 star Razor” so on and so on. While yes, I do think they could’ve made more unique animations for him, all dendro Keqing stuff is getting REALLY annoying. At first, it also seemed to me that they were VERY similar in animations and it was funny, but now when I just want to read builds, tips, explanations, all I see is “dendro Keqing”…
Kazuha IS 5* sucrose, yelan IS 5* xingqiu, itto IS 5* noelle. cyno’s gameplay IS similar to razor. Haitam’s kit is literally keqing copy paste. similar burst, E teleport plus infusion. Pee poo brain people see a comparison with 4* and go “Noooo how can you compare them? 5 bigger than 4.” what you fail to see is how good those 4*s are. Also comparing similar things, finding pattern, judging new things based on previous data is an evolutionary trait. I feel sorry that you don’t have that.
At some point, the comparisons just become foolish.
Are u know, that nahida gameplay similar albedo? And gorou, faruzan, sara is a copy-paste bennet. They have been copying themselves for more than one year.
Kazuha buffs DNM% when Sucrose buff EM. CC with skill vs CC with burst. Physical NA vs Anemo NA. Freedom Sworn holder vs TTDS or ProtoAmber holder.
XQ gives heals and DMG reduction + Sttager Resistance, Yelan gives DMG%. Yoi/XQ gives me more survability in duo run, while Yoi/Yelan gives me more dmg so I play both. “5* XQ” don’t replace XQ itself. They complement each other.
Need shield for Geo res vs Self shield for Geo res. Generate particles vs no particles generations. Loose infusion when swapped vs keep infusion when swapped.
Cyno’s gamplay is normal spam with a QTE mecanic, outside of QTE, Razor, Yoimiya, Eula… Normal spamming is normal spamming, not exclusive to Razor.
Different chars, different possibilities.
KAzuha buffs DMG% *
this is the most delusional take i have seem so far.
wtf is this character? tf is that scaling?
why does he get 30cr 210cd from c6 + 88cd 16cr from his weapon???
wtf?
you read his C6 wrong
you did not understand his c6, every time you create a new mirror having the maximum amount already you only add another 6 seconds to the buff
Actually, the op is not entirely wrong, c6 says any excess shard will give him 10 cr and 70 crd; so if you use his burst first, you can get 3 shards, then if you use his skill, you can get 2 more shards which will be the excess. So the cap crit bonus is 20 cr and 140 crd. If you proc his ascension passive, this will give him an additional shard which will extend the duration of the buff.
Uh, you also missed the part that the skill only generates 2 shards only if he has none, so he only gets 1 from his skill and another with his A4 passive based on your scenario.
yes and no. considering the 2s delay, it seems like he can use his skill to get 2 active stacks, even before the burst return the 3 stacks. when the burst returned 3 stacks while having 2 active stacks, so there comes the excess 2 stacks. then just trigger the A1 passive to +6s
So here are my thoughts, he is very f2p friendly (yay for me ^^) since he can use harbinger of dawn. I love the mirror shards concept but his burst looks so much like kq’s (Maybe instead of horizontal laser beams they could change it to vertical?). I compared his multiplier to Nahida since they both have em scaling and his multiplier is 2x of nahida. (so maybe if my f2p nahida can do 50-60k then he can do twice as much?).
Meh, not gonna pull. His autos look nice, but his skill and burst are lame, plus I HATE his personality. Just a Dendro Keqing, and she sucks too
what will be the best set for him?
probably 4pc gilded 🙂
4pc gilded for sure unless they add new dendro set that suits him well
the only thing he shares with keqing is his E Spell animation. The rest of kit shares nothing in common with her.
that said I’m confused about his Chisel mechanics. They clearly want you to play him 2 different ways. A quick swap burst bot or a dedicated auto attack spammer with the burst to enable his infusion longer. Even still though that 18 seconds cooldown is clunky as hell. And why do his multipliers get lower with more chisels? Is there more projections when you have more chisels? the description isn’t clear on that but I’m guessing that’s the case. if it is that dramatically effects his damage output. without the burst you can get 3 chisels quickly but they’ll all be gone within 12 seconds, all the while your DPS is tanking like no tomorrow. he’s going to have a lot of on field time so fischil and Raiden are his best electro enablers and Nahida goes without saying. you’ll was double electrol double dendro for the resonance bonuses if you’re going to be using him for his projections.
“And why do his multipliers get lower with more chisels? Is there more projections when you have more chisels?”
yes, in chinese version his E is calculated as [x% atk + y% em]*[number of chisels]
there’s also other discrepancies between his EN kit and CN kit, I wonder which one is the correct one
I agree that his E and Q spell animations look very different, but their hit boxes and number of hits are very similar to Keqing’s design.
Their cooldowns though and their kits make for very different playstyles, which I totally agree with.
By comparing the two, who fill very similar roles,
I think Keqing has a very frequent teleport to make up for her reliance on charge-attacks, which comprise of most of her DPS.
Her ultimate is spammable, and with thundering fury, her E is also very spammable.
With Dendro archon she slaps.
My cricitisms of Alhaitham so far:
Alhaitham seems like a big cash-grab. His E is clunky-long duration. I’m sure his most comfy weapon for F2p will be a sacrificial sword. Most F2P that played since release will have Keqing already, with a more comfy cooldown…
Why cash-grab?
His kit revolves around feeding his Q to hit harder. And at C2, his Q becomes more reasonably spammable by having its CD reduced every basic attack (except CA), which can produce a CD with a similar cooldown duration to Keqing’s when done right…
His kit seems to be about feeding his Q skill to increase its damage with every basic attack either gives him a mirror, or has a mirror fire off a projection attack.
His C6 is probably the highest damage-scaling constellation in the game. It is absolutely nutty and he’ll probably one shot most trash mobs after his 4th normal attack at c6.
For his kit, which is pretty…
Because his attacks are slow, and most of his damage relies on dealing basic attacks, with a very slow cooldown on teleport, he will be annoying to play without a shielder.
And since he’s dendro infusion carry, he will also need an electro and healer. Kuki may be a must.
Since he won’t pair well with off-field elemental applications based on normal attack speed, and he has such strict requirements for electro, healer, and shielder…
And has night/day scaling between C0 -> C2 -> C6…
For these reasons, I will hard-pass on this guy.
My keqing scratches any itch for gameplay mechanics this guy can offer. His C6 is just a “look at my damage, isn’t it amazing?” which I can do using reasonable characters without breaking the bank.
think you read c2 wrong it lowers E cd not Burst
But his c2 lowers his E cd not his Q
If I understand correctly:
At 3 chisel mirrors, he does the ‘3 projection’ dmg. After that he will have 2 chisel mirrors, so he will do the ‘2 projection’ dmg and so on.
So at 3 chisel mirrors, total dmg will be 3 projection + 2 projection + 1 projection.
2nd passive seems very good, more em scaling for projection and burst. I’m sure the atk%+em% scaling will be good for him plus the 2nd passive.
Dmg calcs will be slightly simpler, the skill scalings are used for majority of burst dmg. But this means talent leveling burst will provide only increase to initial dmg.
Best set will be his signature if he gets one, or gilded dreams with Nahida(or Kuki) on deepwood.
Usable units probably Kuki, Fischl, Miko, Raiden, Nahida, Kazuha(cc, electro application+vv electro for fischl etc.+), and other off field units Xingqiu, Yelan, Xiangling, Bennett.
Best team most likely Spread. Spread doesn’t need much electro so one or two electro is enough. Use off field electro, Kazuha and Nahida maybe. One downside is that swirling electro with Nahida is hard. Or double dendro + double electro.
Bloom is possible, but hard to have him contribute to reactions than say Nahida, Dendro Traveller, Kokomi, Nilou, who have better application and will trigger more often.
Hyperbloom could be better since you get occasional spread dmg. Could do Xingqiu/other hydro + Kuki/other electro.
I don’t think Burgeon would be good, but then again we haven’t seen much gameplay. Could use Bennett + Xiangling/Kazuha + Xingqiu/other hydro.
For Burning, I think Nahida…
Many other teams like Fridge could be good.
Talent priority: Skill>NA>=Burst
Skill is projection dmg so also counts for most of burst dmg. NA=Burst depends on playstyle.
Basically, Dendro EM Keqing with slightly more brain usage.
im pretty sure that each hits deal different dmg. like if you have 1 , it will only deal the first instance of dmg and multiplier. if you have 2 it deals both the first instance of dmg multiplier and the second , so like the multiplier adds up to each other , its not decreasing. thats just what i think tho its still ver confusing rn
18s isn’t clunky. You get 12s of infusion. So that’s a 6s downtime. Hu Tao has a 7s downtime. Yoimiya has an 8s downtime. Those 6s can be used to refresh your support character’s skill (Fischl, Raiden, Nahida, Yaoyao for example).
Rotation will be very similar to Hu Tao and Yoimiya teams except you aren’t vaporising.
The chisels probably hit more/often.
Tbh they should just decrease the damage of 1 chisel and just let the numbers multiply in itself, i.e, 1 is 100 so 2 is 200 then 3 is 300.
