same, i really do like when you have to think a little bit when playing your team. i got my alhaitham comp where i think about what to press when, and then i have my itto team where i go HOHOUOHUHHGHFHHGGHG DAMAGE
Or dont even need to aim at all and just hold it until the animation pops to quickly release it, coz since it doesnt matter which angle It is aimed, u can basically just let the autoaim do it for u for faster times
I absolutely love alhaitham for the very reason that there's so much to think about when playing him. He will for sure be my main for a long time. I've been discovering so many ways to use his cooldowns and so many ways to change the order of things when you pair him with different characters. Honestly super fun.
Did not know about that aiming the E down trick really like that one! Speed up the jump off plunge and is yet another useful tool in his skillset. I'm digging the versatility and dynamic nature of using him as a main DPS.
With his uptime being so good, his team's damage over time is better than my Hutao+Homa/Kazu/Yelan team. Even more so if you add hyperbloom to the mix.
@@greenled39391 million per rotation is “extremely easy” to achieved for quickbloom haitham. Even average investment can do slightly more than that already. Imagine insane dmg from spread haitham, plus insane off-field dmg from nahida’s tri-karma, plus off-field dmg and buff from yelan, plus insane dmg from hyperbloom kuki. Hutao is surely strong carry but you can’t deny that haitham is already achieved that level of dps, or even higher in multitarget situation.
@@greenled3939 hyperbloom can deals around 40k x2 per 0.5 seconds. That's 800k ALONE by hyperbloom every 10s. The problem is that we don't have any electro applicator that apply that fast. so his potential ceiling is HUGE. That plus OTHER damage sources like xingqiu, kuki and nahida getting 1.5 million per rotation is easy af.
Appreciate your efforts on this video! Though complex, I being a Childe main have been loving Al Haitham's playstyle and here you dropped a guide to optimise it some more.
Seeing IWinToLose make 3 Alhaitham videos really does put a smile on my face. I adore him as a character and playstyle so min maxing is something I'd like to invest some time for him ✨️
Good to play a character finally who actually requires actual combos and mechanics.(finally feels like playing a game) And best thing is you can test them out yourself. He's a cracked unit.
With his quick swap tech, the most important ones I know are Nahida skill, Fish Skill, Fish burst, Lisa burst, Bennet Burst, Kuki burst, XQ skill, XQ burst. These mentioned can all be done before you swap back and Bennet/XQ can use their whole kit before swapping back.
Been used to having Childe in my teams, and Alhaitham scratches the itch of melee combat that is a bit carefully controlled. Also, squeeze (more deeps from) Alhaitham we shall.
funny enough he was my first DPS character to finish the abyss with 36 stars while being only level 70. now I just need to work on his crit rate and EM more
@@Dynamight_01 Mc dendro traveller lvl 88 with deepwood, kuki lvl 70, Fischl lvl 85, Alhaitham at lvl 70.. on second thought, Im not sure if I used Xinqiu lvl 80 or Fischl 2nd team is mono geo team itto
Easy: start with Q, after second rain mirror use E, after another rain mirror use CA and attack until they’re gone. Swap into supports and he’ll always have his Q or E up on downtime depending on your team and recharge. (Edit: i made it more clear now) … I’m using Raiden, Nahida for 111%recharge so i can swap back and use burst immediately. works very well
ETERNALLY grateful I have Nahida, she's such an insanely good RES shredder and battery for him. He's not even fully leveled yet cause I need more Scara drops, but he takes out the PMA on Floor 12 faster than my Homa Hu Tao.
heres my tip. Always start a fight with your ult. Since each light mirror projection attack works every 1.6 seconds(and every chisel light mirror disappears every 4 seconds). It means we can fit two projection attacks before one mirror disappears. So, when we start with 3 mirrors(after ult) use either skill or CA to regen a mirror after 2 projection attacks. This will ensure maximum damage with minimum attention. No need to count or look at your mirrors.
Right now I think my Al-Haitham's team is one of the most powerful teams I got and I love it. Al-Haitham, Nahida, Fischl and Kuki. These 4 clean everything in seconds and the rotations feel really good to play.
I was having a hard time playing Alhaitham cause I didn't know how to combo, I really love the depth of explanation of different techniques 💕 thank you for this.
Basically what I got out of this: Keep refreshing mirrors after every second projection attack. And that keeps him topped up on mirrors for like 12 seconds for 6 total projections with 3 mirrors. (Not counting time it took to burst). Also avoid his 5th hit bc it’s slow af.
Kamisato Ayaka + Alhaitham burst combo my current favorite team is Alhaitham/Ayaka/Kuki/Xingqiu - mostly bc i'm an Ayaka simp, but the freeze + hyperbloom combo is underrated. this team can work in the abyss too, with decent enough artifacts Rotation: Xingqiu Burst, Ayaka Burst (if using Amenoma Kageuchi do skill, then burst), Alhaitham Burst, Kuki Skill, Alhaitham charged attack, and if anything's still alive keep using normal attacks and refreshing Alhaitham's mirrors, then reset rotation when Xingqiu/Kuki's skills end. Ayaka is mainly used for her burst in this team, so ER is her priority - you can also make a really good dendro-melt team with Ayaka(or other Cryo)/Off-Field Dendro Applicator(Nahida is ideal)/Sucrose or Kazuha/Bennett. or another is Ayaka/2 Dendro/Xiangling, or some other cryo/pyro of your choice. here Ayaka is on-field DPS rather than quick swap, so build accordingly. the first time i went over 50k crit damage with a single hit, was with an Ayaka dendro-melt team. i just thought of another dendro-melt combo, Ayaka/Alhaitham/Xiangling/Bennett - i haven't tested this but the rotation would probably be: Bennett burst, Xiangling skill/burst, Alhaitham burst, Ayaka burst/sprint/CA. the goal with these dendro-melt teams is to cause burning which can allow pyro to stay on the enemy for an extended period which allows you to keep applying cryo
For my strategy… YaoYao Skill -> Raiden Skill -> Yelan Burst -> Alhaitham Skill -> charge/Fall attack -> Burst …its Not really necessary to swap him in or out. But still good to know I could do it cause maybe its helpful in some Team Compilations
A nice team I've found works really good for Main DPS Alhaitham is Alhaitham/Lisa/Nahida/Zhongli. I call the team 'The Academics' Alhaitham: Main DPS and Dendro Driver. Uses Light of Foliar Incision and 4 piece Gilded Dreams Lisa: Electro Sub DPS/Support and Defense shred. Uses Hakushin Ring and 2 piece Thundering Fury/2 piece Emblem of Severed Fate Nahida: Dendro Sub DPS, EM Buffer, and Dendro Resist Shreder. Uses Thousand Floating Dreams and 4 piece Deepwood Memory Zhongli: Shielder and Buffer with a bit of CC with Burst. Uses Fav Lance and 4 piece Tenacity of the Millileth Really solid team overall. With 3 different forms of Defense/Resistance shred, along with buffing from Lisa (Hakushin Ring), Nahida (Burst) and Zhongli (Tenacity), my Alhaitham's projection attacks do about 28,000 on crit, and he's only level 80 and has talents at level 6, so still some room to grow further. And with Zhongli's shield, I don't have to waste time dodging and thus letting me maximize the number of projection attacks. Plus, as both an Alhaitham and Lisa simp, I just couldn't resist having the Akademia's two finest students working together, along with the Archon of Wisdom herself. Zhongli is kind of the odd one out... but he's "Knowledgeable in All Things" so I think he still fits conceptually.
I enjoy using him in a double electro double dendro team with Keqing, Raiden, Al, and Yaoyao. If his burst is up when I swap to him, I quickly get 3 mirrors and make him a burst support at that time and utilize keqing during his burst. If his burst isn't up, I use the three 3 mirror attacks until they fall off to 2, and then use Raiden's burst both for dmg and to battery everyone up. Its sort of a luxury team that isn't in any way optimized but its fun and keeps me on my toes to try and make it optimal without it just being another basic Genshin-style "safety dance".
I'm running a very similar comp. Alhaitham, Keqing, Nahida, and Sucrose. My rotation is Keqing to open and apply electro, Sucrose to burst and boost EM for the party, Nahida link and burst, 3 mirror Alhaitham combo and burst, and Keqing burst. The combo basically pumps everyone's EM through the roof, making a lot of reaction damage and giving a lot of particles to make spamming bursts possible.
Wow de Q-Swap technique is awesome, definetly gonna try to master it. For the rest of the combos...i didn't understand nothing I'm dumb as hell, I'll try to find the best rotation I can pull out as a mobile player
This was fun to watch even tho I don wanna pull for em now at all but I feel like his more technical play style is a sign for better things to come. I mostly played hard games before genshin esp hack n slash so nice to kno I came out real effort in now instead of unga bunga lol
making alhaitham's kit complicated in a game like genshin is like trying to turn a prius into a sports car but only driving it on residential streets, like what is the point lol. The mobs aren't challenging, you do the same kind of quests over and over again, people will eventually do spiral abyss for the primos not because they actually enjoy the fights. With this kind of gameplay, people WILL want and appreciate nukers more than "technical play style that they'll have to repeat ad nauseum every day until they get the next flavor of the month character". The only thing that should be appreciably brain-intensive in this game is the puzzles and the lore. Whacking monsters that barely fight back and have mechanics you can ignore if you hit hard enough or dodge on time is not something i want to complicate by min maxing how long i can keep his dendro infusion so i can keep hitting 4-5 digit skill damage instead of 3 digit normal attacks.
@@NM-ok9wb lol well I personally think a video like this are for ppl that want to at least go further beyond being casual and optimize or ppl that want to main or use the guy in coop cuz ur rlly jus stuck w ur one guy sometimes but nah I was really saying alhaitham himself is a good example of something good just a good sign. No more simple things like e then q then na as usual but to actually reply to some of ur reply I jus wanna say I kinda have hope for genshin lol there’s still a path for it to switch around from being so mundane and boring as hell regardless of changing difficulty so ig technical characters jus feel more immersive like you’re actually playing the guy. Hope they change tho cuz I kinda drained the entire game in 6 months of playing
Imagine saying for a character that 120 ping or less is recommended. The first time I saw this, I started laughing. You just never see that anywhere lol
Try using Al with diona c6, nahida, and fichel. Diona will heal/shield/and give 200EM, Nahida for battery+250EM and dendron resonance, if u have guildrd dreams u can get 1000 em on Al very easily.
For Diluc is an r5 debate club better than the prototype claymore? I just remembered that buying billets is a thing, and crafted the prototype claymore. The thing is, my debate club was already lvl 75, and I don’t want to waste ore
As a DMC fan, it's weird seeing the advance tech that won't give you early parkinson. But good video tho, this will be very useful to my newly accuire Diluc.
While I'm not the biggest fan of Al Haitham's damage (Although I pulled till C2); I like the direction Mihoyo as taken with the complexity of his kit. There is a different sense of accomplishment when you can maximize his damage & learn how to sustain his entire rotation.
What weap did you gave him? Mine is at C1 with sig weap and he's still does decent dmg if you keep the 3 stacks as long as possible. Having him at c2 would have elevate him more. I used Spread team with Fischl, Raiden and Yaoyao and he did roughly ard 30--60k total per rain sword.
@@amnos180188 C2 PJC. As far as DPS is concerned I keep comparing him with HuTao Vape, or Raiden Nuke Burst, Yae Aggravate; Yelan (by herself, lol) all of which feel like they give higher numbers. If I were to compare him with Keqing, Eula, Diluc, Xiao, he feels better. All said, gameplay wise he is really fun. It does feel like I actually have to 'think' in a fight, which is rare in Genshin.
@@AkshayCShetty I see. Well he's definitely not meta but he still is strong. So I guess he won't be someone people who wants meta will go for. But yeah, I hope HYV adds more characters with playstyle like this so it's not just braindead press buttons lol
I have been trying to do teams that can work together and dish damage but have 2 5 star and 2 4 star only per team. This makes the game fun for me anyway. Zhongli, wanderer, bennett and Ninnguang, where wander helps against geo resistant bad guys. kaeya heizou mona and shenhe where shenhe boosts cryo and mona burst heals (with prototype) and then kaeya dishes burst and skill damage for heizou to finish the rest with one punch. Heizou helps against cryo resistance too. Final team is Nahida, Alhaitham, xinqiu and kuki. I tried without hyperbloom using sucrose to boost EM and it was ok but the added hyperbloom reactions add more consistent damage. I am still trying to fit Kazuha and Raiden somewhere without repeating characters and I just don't know. Maybe Diona and the pyro archon gouba, i mean Xiangling but still unsure if it is optimal. The other three teams are pretty darned good and fun to play. I would say dendro is the strongest and kaeya is slightly better than my geo team in overworld thanks to freezing and heizou.
i mean its dendro so my optimal combos are flailing around for 30secs till i 36* the abyss while eating pop tarts 🥰 but fr i use q swap n3cs/lp its solid...ty as always iw2l
I play using controller and have around 150+- ping and it hard to do proper rotation so most of time I just unga bunga and do Q, NA until 2 wave projection, E NA until 2 wave projection then CA & NA until 2 wave projection before switched to other characters, btw thanks for mentioned about we can aim anywhere when do hold E, didn't know that till now
I have super low ping (like under 10ms) and I find that I actually can't swap off of Alhaitham at all after using his burst and still get the mirrors/infusion. It all goes away right as I swap.
Love your videos, just started back with genshin after a two month break, would you recommend Nahida or Alhaitham (currently have neither) for best dendro for a hyperbloom team? or should i just stick with traveller? Thanks again for your videos!
I do a hybrid combo bexause I use e with plunge to get three mirrors then atack until have 2 mirrors and when the second mirror atack with two mirrors enter y use the Q to make a ultimate with two mirrors works very fine idk whay you think
Raiden isn’t really doing anything there though. Be Better off adding xingiu and dropping fischl for Hyperbloom or dropping raiden and adding Kazuha/sucrose or zhongli
@@goodietwoshoes7238 If you’re going raiden just for the sake of generating a few more particles when she doesn’t really contribute anything else to the team isn’t worth it. Favonius on Yaoyao and decent ER on Al Haitham should be enough to satiate your ER needs. Also the extra particles from the electro resonance benefit mainly electro characters because it’s electro particles and in that team the dendro characters burst are the ones your want to worry about
@@TerraTheWise It's fine to play Hyperbloom, but then it will be, for example, Kuki doing the big dmg. It works just fine, but doesn't feel like Alhaitham doing dmg. I could add Nahida too, but want her on another team. I did gear Fischl (TF C6) and Alhaitham (Gilded C0) for dmg, with lower ER. Basically Raiden skill and Fischl-Oz provide me plenty electro and when Alhaitham runs into CD I use Yao skill into Raiden Burst and restart the rotation.
@@TerraTheWise nah, I didn't say it should be raiden, just said that the OP is referring to a double electro team. the characters you suggested as replacement for raiden aren't electro so I replied with that
i like the quickswap variant with the high plunge, but I do a n3c + however many ns that fit into the 4 seconds where you have 3 mirrors, to increase his field time, and try to use Q right before he goes down to 2. If you're using al-haitham in quick swap, your full rotation will be at a minimum of 18 seconds due to that's just how long his E takes to be up. If you're only going to be spending 4 seconds on him, what are you spending your actual time on for the other 14 seconds? So might as well stay on him longer.
because of my higher ping, I use Q > N2C > N2/N3 > E > N3/N4 instead of the combo in the vid. I lose out a lot of DPS, but thankfully my f2p butt won the weapon when i pulled for it.
I forgot to mention, the charts assume a gilded dream alhaitham with an R5 ironsting and triple crowned talents.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you for this :)
it's ok bro
Thanks for the tips xD

The aiming his E down is pretty neat. I missed quite a few times when the enemy was too close, now I know I can just aim down and never miss

Your combos are very useful especially when I use Al-haitham in Character Demo, thanks for this
Alhaitham has been such a beautiful breath of fresh air for me! So fun to play and figure out.
Kamisato Ayaka + Alhaitham burst combo
my current favorite team is Alhaitham/Ayaka/Kuki/Xingqiu - mostly bc i'm an Ayaka simp, but the freeze + hyperbloom combo is underrated. this team can work in the abyss too, with decent enough artifacts
Rotation:
Xingqiu Burst,
Ayaka Burst (if using Amenoma Kageuchi do skill, then burst),
Alhaitham Burst,
Kuki Skill,
Alhaitham charged attack,
and if anything's still alive keep using normal attacks and refreshing Alhaitham's mirrors, then reset rotation when Xingqiu/Kuki's skills end.
Ayaka is mainly used for her burst in this team, so ER is her priority
- you can also make a really good dendro-melt team with Ayaka(or other Cryo)/Off-Field Dendro Applicator(Nahida is ideal)/Sucrose or Kazuha/Bennett. or another is Ayaka/2 Dendro/Xiangling, or some other cryo/pyro of your choice. here Ayaka is on-field DPS rather than quick swap, so build accordingly.
the first time i went over 50k crit damage with a single hit, was with an Ayaka dendro-melt team. i just thought of another dendro-melt combo, Ayaka/Alhaitham/Xiangling/Bennett - i haven't tested this but the rotation would probably be: Bennett burst, Xiangling skill/burst, Alhaitham burst, Ayaka burst/sprint/CA. the goal with these dendro-melt teams is to cause burning which can allow pyro to stay on the enemy for an extended period which allows you to keep applying cryo
Bruh I enjoy watching these kinds of vids knowing I'm too broke to even get the character 💀
Bro, watching this after the face reveal is messing with my brain.
For my strategy…
YaoYao Skill -> Raiden Skill -> Yelan Burst -> Alhaitham Skill -> charge/Fall attack -> Burst
…its Not really necessary to swap him in or out. But still good to know I could do it cause maybe its helpful in some Team Compilations
I was checking my ping because I was worried it would be too high. It's 30 lol
I was really expecting a “hope I didn’t AGGRAVATE you with my puns” XD I really appreciated this video though
This channel is soooo underrated.
A nice team I've found works really good for Main DPS Alhaitham is Alhaitham/Lisa/Nahida/Zhongli. I call the team 'The Academics'
Alhaitham: Main DPS and Dendro Driver. Uses Light of Foliar Incision and 4 piece Gilded Dreams
Lisa: Electro Sub DPS/Support and Defense shred. Uses Hakushin Ring and 2 piece Thundering Fury/2 piece Emblem of Severed Fate
Nahida: Dendro Sub DPS, EM Buffer, and Dendro Resist Shreder. Uses Thousand Floating Dreams and 4 piece Deepwood Memory
Zhongli: Shielder and Buffer with a bit of CC with Burst. Uses Fav Lance and 4 piece Tenacity of the Millileth
Really solid team overall. With 3 different forms of Defense/Resistance shred, along with buffing from Lisa (Hakushin Ring), Nahida (Burst) and Zhongli (Tenacity), my Alhaitham's projection attacks do about 28,000 on crit, and he's only level 80 and has talents at level 6, so still some room to grow further. And with Zhongli's shield, I don't have to waste time dodging and thus letting me maximize the number of projection attacks.
Plus, as both an Alhaitham and Lisa simp, I just couldn't resist having the Akademia's two finest students working together, along with the Archon of Wisdom herself. Zhongli is kind of the odd one out... but he's "Knowledgeable in All Things" so I think he still fits conceptually.

@@davidpotts7116 Gonna have to try this. Sounds fun!
Wow de Q-Swap technique is awesome, definetly gonna try to master it. For the rest of the combos...i didn't understand nothing I'm dumb as hell, I'll try to find the best rotation I can pull out as a mobile player
None of the robot chicken traumatized in that video*🤓
tq man !
You can get an extremely rapid low plunge with hold e, I do it really often but I’m not really sure where I’m actually aiming to explain here 😂
Yeh I did it it's cool and I'd prefer to do that often 😅
Q-swap tech --- well ffff. Goodbye said my 300ms ping.
I need this. THANK YOU
This was fun to watch even tho I don wanna pull for em now at all but I feel like his more technical play style is a sign for better things to come. I mostly played hard games before genshin esp hack n slash so nice to kno I came out real effort in now instead of unga bunga lol
making alhaitham's kit complicated in a game like genshin is like trying to turn a prius into a sports car but only driving it on residential streets, like what is the point lol. The mobs aren't challenging, you do the same kind of quests over and over again, people will eventually do spiral abyss for the primos not because they actually enjoy the fights. With this kind of gameplay, people WILL want and appreciate nukers more than "technical play style that they'll have to repeat ad nauseum every day until they get the next flavor of the month character". The only thing that should be appreciably brain-intensive in this game is the puzzles and the lore. Whacking monsters that barely fight back and have mechanics you can ignore if you hit hard enough or dodge on time is not something i want to complicate by min maxing how long i can keep his dendro infusion so i can keep hitting 4-5 digit skill damage instead of 3 digit normal attacks.
@@NM-ok9wb lol well I personally think a video like this are for ppl that want to at least go further beyond being casual and optimize or ppl that want to main or use the guy in coop cuz ur rlly jus stuck w ur one guy sometimes but nah I was really saying alhaitham himself is a good example of something good just a good sign. No more simple things like e then q then na as usual but to actually reply to some of ur reply I jus wanna say I kinda have hope for genshin lol there’s still a path for it to switch around from being so mundane and boring as hell regardless of changing difficulty so ig technical characters jus feel more immersive like you’re actually playing the guy. Hope they change tho cuz I kinda drained the entire game in 6 months of playing
That quick swap combo made me think about a Al-Haitham - keqing - Fischl/miko - Nahida/anemo / other flex character
500k subs at the END of the year? You dream too low, my compadre.
Im learning and he's so fun to play
I love to see Ayaka with that alhaitam signature weapon
Those jokes were actually funny for me :D
Love experimental videos
Imagine saying for a character that 120 ping or less is recommended. The first time I saw this, I started laughing. You just never see that anywhere lol
Try using Al with diona c6, nahida, and fichel. Diona will heal/shield/and give 200EM, Nahida for battery+250EM and dendron resonance, if u have guildrd dreams u can get 1000 em on Al very easily.
For Diluc is an r5 debate club better than the prototype claymore? I just remembered that buying billets is a thing, and crafted the prototype claymore. The thing is, my debate club was already lvl 75, and I don’t want to waste ore
prototype is better
* watching observantly because i got alhaitham (50-50 win) in 30 pulls after 5 xinyans just trying to get yaoyao for my keqing *
I really wish I had the ping and the fast fingers (mobile problems lol) to do the ultimate swap thing, but ill try the low plunge:)
I know not everyone has it but having info on his C6 combo would be nice
He'll eventually make a c0 to c6 video like always, but I think he'll stretch out the limits of c0 as much as he can first
Great video as always!
I have always wondered, where do you get the background songs for the video?
Does anyone know?
As a DMC fan, it's weird seeing the advance tech that won't give you early parkinson.
But good video tho, this will be very useful to my newly accuire Diluc.
While I'm not the biggest fan of Al Haitham's damage (Although I pulled till C2); I like the direction Mihoyo as taken with the complexity of his kit. There is a different sense of accomplishment when you can maximize his damage & learn how to sustain his entire rotation.
What weap did you gave him? Mine is at C1 with sig weap and he's still does decent dmg if you keep the 3 stacks as long as possible. Having him at c2 would have elevate him more. I used Spread team with Fischl, Raiden and Yaoyao and he did roughly ard 30--60k total per rain sword.
@@amnos180188 C2 PJC.
As far as DPS is concerned I keep comparing him with HuTao Vape, or Raiden Nuke Burst, Yae Aggravate; Yelan (by herself, lol) all of which feel like they give higher numbers.
If I were to compare him with Keqing, Eula, Diluc, Xiao, he feels better.
All said, gameplay wise he is really fun. It does feel like I actually have to 'think' in a fight, which is rare in Genshin.
R2*
@@AkshayCShetty I see. Well he's definitely not meta but he still is strong. So I guess he won't be someone people who wants meta will go for.
But yeah, I hope HYV adds more characters with playstyle like this so it's not just braindead press buttons lol
I have been trying to do teams that can work together and dish damage but have 2 5 star and 2 4 star only per team. This makes the game fun for me anyway.
Zhongli, wanderer, bennett and Ninnguang, where wander helps against geo resistant bad guys.
kaeya heizou mona and shenhe where shenhe boosts cryo and mona burst heals (with prototype) and then kaeya dishes burst and skill damage for heizou to finish the rest with one punch. Heizou helps against cryo resistance too.
Final team is Nahida, Alhaitham, xinqiu and kuki. I tried without hyperbloom using sucrose to boost EM and it was ok but the added hyperbloom reactions add more consistent damage.
I am still trying to fit Kazuha and Raiden somewhere without repeating characters and I just don't know. Maybe Diona and the pyro archon gouba, i mean Xiangling but still unsure if it is optimal.
The other three teams are pretty darned good and fun to play. I would say dendro is the strongest and kaeya is slightly better than my geo team in overworld thanks to freezing and heizou.
i mean its dendro so my optimal combos are flailing around for 30secs till i 36* the abyss while eating pop tarts 🥰 but fr i use q swap n3cs/lp its solid...ty as always iw2l
I play using controller and have around 150+- ping and it hard to do proper rotation so most of time I just unga bunga and do Q, NA until 2 wave projection, E NA until 2 wave projection then CA & NA until 2 wave projection before switched to other characters, btw thanks for mentioned about we can aim anywhere when do hold E, didn't know that till now
Nice video!
I have super low ping (like under 10ms) and I find that I actually can't swap off of Alhaitham at all after using his burst and still get the mirrors/infusion. It all goes away right as I swap.
cyno should be the channel logo for these jokes
Love your videos, just started back with genshin after a two month break, would you recommend Nahida or Alhaitham (currently have neither) for best dendro for a hyperbloom team? or should i just stick with traveller? Thanks again for your videos!
i would go nahida tbh,, but alhaitham is still very good
@@shadownocas cheers, hopefully there’s a who’s the strongest comparison video in the world 😂
@@junkbball2 XDD hopefully IWTL makes one.
Feels weird being early I don't know what to comment
I like alhaitham coz my friend name is actually haitham!
Al Haitham do be kinda clean with it tho
I got lost. :(
What is the meaning of N1C, N1D... Etc?
in the case of N1C, it means normal attack (1) followed by charged attack! N1D means normal attack (1) followed by Dash :)
I can do this on Qiqi too right, i mean she's basically a cryo Keqing right...her C4 is basically the same as his right? right? 😭
very fun char 😂
Would you be able to do a weapon comparison video on Al please! 5 stars!
I do a hybrid combo bexause I use e with plunge to get three mirrors then atack until have 2 mirrors and when the second mirror atack with two mirrors enter y use the Q to make a ultimate with two mirrors works very fine idk whay you think
happy lunar new yr
We need more streams!
Can you also show us how we get Benefit on playing on phone
I'd recommend Alhaitham, Yaoyao, Fischl, Raiden. It's no brain hack'n'slash and you don't have to worry much about ER or healing.
Raiden isn’t really doing anything there though. Be Better off adding xingiu and dropping fischl for Hyperbloom or dropping raiden and adding Kazuha/sucrose or zhongli
@@TerraTheWise it should be double electro for the particles i assume since they said you don't have to worry about ER
@@goodietwoshoes7238 If you’re going raiden just for the sake of generating a few more particles when she doesn’t really contribute anything else to the team isn’t worth it. Favonius on Yaoyao and decent ER on Al Haitham should be enough to satiate your ER needs. Also the extra particles from the electro resonance benefit mainly electro characters because it’s electro particles and in that team the dendro characters burst are the ones your want to worry about
@@TerraTheWise It's fine to play Hyperbloom, but then it will be, for example, Kuki doing the big dmg. It works just fine, but doesn't feel like Alhaitham doing dmg. I could add Nahida too, but want her on another team. I did gear Fischl (TF C6) and Alhaitham (Gilded C0) for dmg, with lower ER. Basically Raiden skill and Fischl-Oz provide me plenty electro and when Alhaitham runs into CD I use Yao skill into Raiden Burst and restart the rotation.
@@TerraTheWise nah, I didn't say it should be raiden, just said that the OP is referring to a double electro team. the characters you suggested as replacement for raiden aren't electro so I replied with that
i like the quickswap variant with the high plunge, but I do a n3c + however many ns that fit into the 4 seconds where you have 3 mirrors, to increase his field time, and try to use Q right before he goes down to 2. If you're using al-haitham in quick swap, your full rotation will be at a minimum of 18 seconds due to that's just how long his E takes to be up. If you're only going to be spending 4 seconds on him, what are you spending your actual time on for the other 14 seconds? So might as well stay on him longer.
But can Alhaitham obliterate Timmies pigeons? Pls do a showcase on this crucial gamemode!
I'm watching this even though i don't have him :)
why aren't you using c6 yelan
bro i was building pity and just got him at 35 .........eeeeternal pain
was waiting for Nahida and her weapon
because of my higher ping, I use Q > N2C > N2/N3 > E > N3/N4 instead of the combo in the vid. I lose out a lot of DPS, but thankfully my f2p butt won the weapon when i pulled for it.
im just getting confused by the labeilng i know N means normal attacks but what is the D?
The combo am using is improvisation 🤣🤣
