SPREAD DPS Build 👍

This playstyle makes the best use of Alhaitham's kit. Since both Spread reactions, his skill (the primary source of his damage) and burst scale heavily off Elemental Mastery. Further enhanced by his high rate of on-field Dendro application. All of this combined with his flexible teams and rotations makes him one of the best Spread DPS currently released. Lastly bear in mind that a large part of his damage comes from Dendro reactions (especially in Quicken/Quickbloom teams), which scale heavily off his levels, so you should prioritise levelling him to 90/90. Regarding Weapon Choices: Light of Foliar Incision: This weapon prefers EM sands even in situations with fewer or no Spread procs such as in Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom teams. Toukabou Shigure: This ranking assumes single-target situations, in AoE situations it starts falling behind weapons such as Iron Sting and Blackcliff Longsword. Harbinger of Dawn: If you can maintain near perfect uptime on its passive this weapon will perform similarly to weapons like Haran Geppaku Futsu. Xiphos' Moonlight / Festering Desire: These weapons can perform similarly to The Black Sword in teams where you have higher Energy Recharge requirements or want to burst every rotation. Regarding Artifact Sets: Gilded Dreams (4): This ranking assumes that you already have another Deepwood Memories holder on the team, if not then Deepwood Memories becomes his best set. Deepwood Memories (2) / Emblem of Severed Fate (2) / +80 EM set (2): These split set options can actually perform similarly to Gilded Dreams (4) or even surpass it in situations where you have higher Energy Recharge requirements or want to burst every rotation. Or even if they just have better substat rolls on them. Regarding Mainstat Priorities: Usually in Quicken/Quickbloom teams Alhaitham leans towards Elemental Mastery sands (roughly 5% or so difference usually). But in Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom teams with, fewer to no Spread reactions, he skews more towards ATK% sands (unless you're using Light of Foliar Incision). Or even Energy Recharge sands if you're trying to burst every rotation for increased Dendro seed generation in those teams. Certain quicken teams can run little to no Energy Recharge and simply burst every other rotation without a dps loss. If you're running under 200 Elemental Mastery this substat has priority over Crit

ABILITY TIP

Basic Rotations: Burst up = Q > E > N2D + 2N3D + N1C + 2N2C Burst down = E > N1C + 5N2C + N1

Rushes forward, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents when the rush ends, causing a Chisel-Light Mirror to form.

Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the direction of Alhaitham's rush attack.

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.

"Truth inherently exists amidst uncertainty. Even the greatest of scholars are not immune to error."

"If a researcher makes wisdom their goal, then they should be prepared to make an enemy of every word they read. Only then can they avoid bias."
