For Alhaitham's personal damage, you have to be very careful when using Bennett in the same team as him as the burning from dendro + pyro disrupts the spread damage and gets rid of the buff.

@@aloha5461 I honestly don't think so even if it does, having 800 em on someone like Al Haitham compared to Nahida isn't as optimal because he's meant to be a main dps
his E cooldown has been overexaggerated in terms of how "bad" it is if you play his optimal rotations, you are rewarded with a very long infusion. you can also opt for shorter infusion windows. c1 is by and large very, very overrated. additionally, people should note that elemental damage ascension is better than crit based ascension because it offers a higher damage ceiling. sure, crit ascension makes characters easier to build and look nice on paper, but elemental damage is nothing to scoff at -especially when it comes to dendro units who can't gain elemental damage bonus easily like PECH characters who have access to kazuha and sucrose also, i think you had too much hydro for the nilou bloom team. I think you could replace yelan with someone else like nahida. something else of note is that for dendro characters -since they rely on transformative reactions- scale better with level, so the level 70 showcase is just "okay" for a spread showcase, i'd replace benny boy with someone on four deepwood.
C1 is by all means not much of an improvement. 18s cooldown, but with up to 12s of uptime, makes for a 6s cooldown. The thing is that Alhaitham is quite technical and requires some mirror management to get that uptime, and he realistically wants to be on field for that long as well. It's part of what makes him fun. C1 doesn't shorten your rotations by any significant amount-if any at all-but it makes his playstyle more forgiving and allows you to make mistakes with less punishment. With all that said, his kit never feels intentionally minced, and it's quite tightly designed. Alhaitham C1 is honestly just creature comforts and not fixing an intentionally uncomfortable playstyle like Hutao C1.
yeah I have him at c1 and I don't think it makes much difference. It just helps you a bit more when you messed up rotation. C2 is where the value comes.
So i'd like to suggest some things for how to play him. First it's probably better to do a charged atk after his e instead of a plunging atk since it takes less time, it's also better to start with his burst when you start using him in the rotation to get all 3 mirrors and than using his skill after a little while, and finally it'd be better to play him with nahida because she can battery him, apply more dendro and in your case with c2 decrease the def of ennemies (also some team suggestions haitham/nahida/raiden/yelan or haitham/nahida/yae/fischl,zhongli) Anyway thank you for banger vids as always
@@mamonth6985 you know all the dmg comes from EM Raiden, huperbloom teams doesn't show how good is he as dps, it only shows he is decent dendro applier
Moga please get more familiar with theorycrafting, and have at least some basis of knowledge before testing new units. You are so unfamiliar with hyperbloom teams, nahida and possibly Al Haitham's best teams, so are you really familiar with how to play quick bloom? I feel like you have far lower general knowledge than just the regular advanced player, who probably watches some zy0x or zajef and understands these mechanics. Al Haitham works best with nahida together, and nahida alone is better in most bloom teams, but he alone is also up there bc the damage floor is so high. You are meant to burst with no mirrors to get optimal uptime as well, but oh well you do not read comments anyways.
At a glance, he does play like Keqing, but after playing him, he feels more like Childe -he uses dual blades -he applies dendro super fast -he can spam AoE dendro with his projections even with just 1 mirror -if you play him wrongly, you'll get "punished" by having downtime on his infusion playing him as a dps honestly is a little bit underwhelming. But using him as an enabler with beidou is pretty funny. Just looking at all of Beidou's lightning aggravates is a treat. But still build him as a dps since he still does ok-ish damage
Fr especially considering his playstyle is the exact opposite (Keqing is quickswap and Alhaitham is more onfield), his infusion isn't just from his E Skill and the infusion is much longer depending on how u work it
Harbinger depending on the team to keep you high hp is actually pretty insane, Alhaitham scale more with EM and spread scale with crit dmg so having a lot of it is pretty good. So good in fact that is competitive with 5* weapons.
While Alhaitham can look like Keqing to many by simply some of his animations, he's more complicated than her and can punish you if you mess up because of his long cooldown on his skill. For playstyle: The thing about him is that you want as many mirrors as possible for the longest time, best having 3 mirrors for the best damage. His burst, while nice, doesn't do enough damage to be more imporant for his rotation than his skill, so those mirrors are the most important part of his kit where most of the damage comes from. With his playstyle, you actuallly want to start with the burst to get 3 mirrors right away. Then do charge attack or use skill when he loses one mirror to get back to 3. Then again either charge attack or skill (the one you didn't do previously) to get another mirror back when it goes down to 2 again. So he keeps 3 mirrors as long as possible. There are some more advance tips about his playstyle, like switching out during burst and so on, I would recommend to check out a guide for it. For build: His best set is actually Gilded dreams. You can go 2p2p if you don't have a full set or go 4p Deepwood if you have no one else to run it on though. Another dendro and/or fav weapons can solve his energy needs pretty well, I have 130% ER on him and Yaoyao with fav is a great teammate so far as well and Nahida is even better. EM weapons are great and he can use crit weapons really well too so both whales and F2P have at least one option for him already on their account. Best teams so far are spread and hyperbloom, but he works in other teams as well.
@@hyeongpinkz he isn't even played remotely like Keqing, people just call him that because of the teleport and Infusion. Dude idk Ayaka is even more like keqing because of infused charge attacks. I think playstyle wise is alhaitham like childe not Keqing
His name is really not that hard to pronounce. If you can pronounce "Keqing" and "Xiphos" right, you can learn how to properly say his name too. The joke is getting old.
Why you always use the same team for every unit then complain it isn't doing much... Dendro characters are different and need different set ups and teams first of all, Alhaitham best support is actually Nahida (dendro traveler is also really good) and above all you should have a good electro applicator 😭 "buffing" him with benny and Sara is actually not doing much for him. Just think of ways to buff his elemental mastery and not so much his attack
@@JM_Tushe he does showcases, and showcases are meant to show the best a character can be. If he doesn't know how to buff a character that almost literally only needs em and electro, how is he gonna showcase anything 😭 I like moga, I think he's entertaining but I'm tired of the eternal Zhongli, benny, sara, and the occasional Shogun teams for every video, he has every single character in the game 😭
When you do his godmode, I highly recommend using the best team I have seen him in so far. The video is called "alhaitham's first speedrun" or something like that, and in that, he was using one of the strongest teams I have seen. Fischl-Nahida-Yae-Haitham. Yae and Alhaitham seem amazing together.
You don’t need to use the plunging attack to get all three mirrors you just need to tap then charged attack bc I believe the passive talent has the same cool-down for plunge and charged attacks TLDR watch the zyox video if you want to learn how to play him
The reason why nahida is so good on bloom teams is because she applied 1.5 units of dendro, meaning that the enemy will have dendro on him all the time making you trigger the strong side bloom (kinda like vape and reverse vape), making it so it only consumes 0.5 dendro so you essentially get 3 blooms per trigger on your tri karma thing, whereas alhaitham and normal dendro characters apply 1 unit of dendro so youre not gonna have as much uptime on the dendro aura making it so you trigger weak side blook (dendro on hydro aura) which consumes 1 unit of dendro so you essentially generate 2x less seeds
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe alhaitham applies 2 dendro every other projection attack on 3 mirrors because of his 2 hit icd and 3 mirror projection attack doing 3 hits at once which are triggered every 1.6 seconds . probably still less than nahida but i feel like it's not than far off
@@frostyboy9382 i dont really know about his dendro app but if it was that good id prob know it by now, also 2 units of dendro seems too busted to actually be a thing
@@joaocurado5277 he applies that when he's at 3 mirrors, not for his whole infusion time period. you can get up to 8 sec out of 15 with 3 mirrors if rotating properly with his c0. he's considered a broken t0 dps in CN already b/c of this.
@@yurizahards6736 you can actually get up to 12 seconds uptime on 3 mirrors if you Q>na till a stack is about to disappear>E/CA>na again till a stack is about to disappear>E/CA depending on what's off cd.
Omg i rejoiced hearing u say his full name 😭 i felt rly awkward the past few videos when you didnt and I was sad bc i like your videos and don't wanna feel awkward watching them so now I'm very happy, you rock!!
I think I would be using his burst first to max mirrors and then have more duration with the infusion if I plan on a longer rotation. Otherwise skill then burst
it's actually pretty nice for quality of life, c1 deals with the 18s cooldown skill and makes let's it be up basically every rotation and not every other rotation.
@@coolguy10221 that's the thing if you do the optimal rotation. You'd have your E every rotation The C1 is actually for the C6 where you burst with 2 Mirrors
@@coolguy10221 His C1 is overrated. If you play with the correct rotation, you will have no problem. Same with Childe and his C1. I'm Childe main and correct rotation solves his cooldown as well. If you manage the rotation, both Childe and Alhaitham have their skills ready by the time you switch back to them. If not, that's skill issue at that point because it IS manageable just fine.
I managed to get him for free at 10 pity(guaranteed), but looking at his constellations, especially C6, he feels like a totally different char from C0 to C6. Just like Cyno, you want him on field for as long as possible, but his C6 completely changes him to a quickswap playstyle, and you no longer have to worry about his skill cooldown at all
alhaithams skill cooldown isn’t actually that bad. if you start w the burst into a skill after 4 secs and a ca after 4 secs you can maximize his 3 mirror uptime to 12 secs w another 4 secs of two mirrors and about 8 secs of one mirror. at that point u can restart the rotation. or u can go skill ca/plunge for 4 secs of 3 mirror, 4 of two and 8 of one. at which point u can set up other skills again and restart that rotation. as long as u know how to play him you’ll never rly have a downtime longer than 1-2 secs :) (at least w my hyperbloom alhaitham, raiden, xinqiu and yaoyao team, but I don’t think other teams would be much different)
I've found him overwhelmingly impressive for Nilou bloom teams. He's nice for everything else, but my Nilou team is now even more overpowered. I'd only had the trial Nahida for the team in the event last patch to compare him to, but he certainly doesn't seem like a downgrade.
Maybe go for a second dendro for the resonance, honestly. As well as extra energy. And use just one hydro so you don't keep removing quicken all the time.
To be honest, I feel like Moga isn't that excited about Alhaitham, which is okay, but Alhaitham one of my favorite characters and Moga being one of few genshin creators I watch makes me a bit disappointed 😔
@@justcherry8023 I'm talking about when we used your E at a certain angle to do an immersive attack, they fixed that way of doing that, but now it's back in alhaitham
Moga, he does not need or benefit much from bennett Nahidas burst and her on deepwood buffs him far more than bennett ever can U should always play him in spread or hyperbloom using raiden, yae or kuki also sac is by far one of his worst weapons His skill isnt a thing to worry about in his normal rotation youll have up to 12 seconds of infusion OF 3 mirrors btw So he can more than go over that even after his skills cd is up
You should try Alhaitham in hyperbloom. Kuki Shinobu is a beast and hitting as hard as some of my five star units. She’s one of my go to when spiral abyss is too hard
idk but for me my alhaitham is doing a lot more with slightly less EM and more crit DMG. i dont think he needs too much em imo, unlike people like nahida
do buffs from other team members, burst first for 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, do charged attack to keep at 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, do skill to retain 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, swap off
Hey Moga! I’ve been following you for a very long time now and I’m quite a fan of your usual showcases and raising modes. I would still BEG YOU to please watch Zy0x’s guide on Al-Haitham before you do the next video! He is genuinely not an easy character to figure out by yourself at all, but he is insanely powerful when you utilize his kit correctly. I just think you would have a rather hard time timing his overall damage output without the guidance (like literally everyone, even myself). Love you
Just a quick tip about alhaithem ,getting him to level 90 is more important then raising any of his skills, a lvl 90 alahaitham with skill levels 1 outdpses a lvl 70 alhaithem with level 6 talents
The comments down here are just what I expected, didn't think I would need to say it but whatever: *_You don't watch Moga for the guides, you watch him for the content._* When it comes to optimal rotations, combos and teams comps I prefer to go watch small channels or web pages (like Keqing mains), they are the ones who test the most in order to share optimal guides, but they lack… _charisma…_ this is where channels like Moga come in. 👍
@@hana-772 that's just not true. He scales equally on EM and attack pretty much. Only the projection attacks use more EM scaling than attack and since you can build a lot more attack than EM it's pretty much even in priority. 2k attack is easier to hit than 1k em is
@@chozengaming8547 He triple-dips into EM. He has native EM scaling on his skill and burst, his A4 passive boosts the damage of his skill and burst by a % of his EM and the Spread reaction scales exclusively with character level and EM. EM is his primary source of damage. A Dendro support is non-negotiable with his ER issues, so an atk buff like Bennett's burst will contribute far less team damage than a Hydro applier to enable a Quickbloom team or a second, damage-oriented Electro character like Fischl, Yae or Beidou in a Spread team.
Moga, for the god mode you will have to do a lot of homework: 1) Learn the right rotatons 2) Farm gilded dreams set for 2 characters (Alhaitham and his hyperbloom triger. I am sure you Riden was not build into hyperbloom) 3) Get someone with deepwood set on the team (preferably Nahida but can be YaoYao or smth) Alhaitham NEEDS a teammate with a deapwood set on This video was honestly quite painfull to watch. Why did you use Bennett??? Alhaitham and Bennett are never used together cos burning kills quicken aura...
I hate that the joke of dendro keqing is gonna stay a meme, because he works NOTHING like keqing, other then his maybe similar visuals. Nothing except visuals are similar but with the genshin community, what should I expect? They never look past first appearance.
In my experience as a Tighnari main, if you want to get the maximum personal damage from a Dendro main dps you should just run 2 Electro 2 Dendro with your second Dendro on Deepwood. Using Bennett just messes up the Catalyze (Dendro + Electro). For max damage I'd recommend Alhaitham, Sara, Fischl/Yae/Shogun (apply consistent Electro) and Nahida (Deepwood), for general use probably swap out Sara for Kuki
as an arabic person, his name is kinda prenounced like El-Haitham? idk how to explain it but the ''A'' in ''Al'' is actually prenounced in between the letters A and E
Am i the only person who laughed at "we nut"? Also if you do his skill and then a charge/ plunge when the fusion ends you can have 100% uptime with his fusion, using characters like raiden or miko might be better though for aggravate bonus
Genshin has to reduced the overall costs of raising new characters, at least for high AR players, that fact that it might take at least 3 months to fully build a character from scratch is ridiculous, given that every patch there's at least one new character.
You really need to learn his mechanics for his god mode, or he's not going to look like much. His best teams right now are hyperbloom with Nahida, Yelan/Xingqiu and Kuki or spread with Nahida, Fischl and Kuki/Zhongli. Dendro resonance is great for him. You want to use his ult first to get mirrors, then E/charged attack after 4s and charged attack/E after another 4s to maximize his 3 mirror uptime. His burst doesn't hit hard enough to be played around like you're trying to do. Al Haitham is almost Childe levels of challenging and definitely only resembles Keqing visually. He's a fantastic dps and driver in one. Don't let him fool you into believing he's just a feeble scholar, that is what he wants you to think.
HoYo changed some mechanics, Any enemy that dies rather farther from where you are won't give you any matts or drops unlike before, maybe because of Nahida where you can literally kill small monsters even from far away due to her E
For prononciation, in the intro you say it almost perfectly, you say « Haytham or Alheitham » at 0:04 so if youd like to pronounce it like we do in arabic countries, think of it as Al Haitham

C1 is by all means not much of an improvement. 18s cooldown, but with up to 12s of uptime, makes for a 6s cooldown. The thing is that Alhaitham is quite technical and requires some mirror management to get that uptime, and he realistically wants to be on field for that long as well. It's part of what makes him fun. C1 doesn't shorten your rotations by any significant amount-if any at all-but it makes his playstyle more forgiving and allows you to make mistakes with less punishment. With all that said, his kit never feels intentionally minced, and it's quite tightly designed. Alhaitham C1 is honestly just creature comforts and not fixing an intentionally uncomfortable playstyle like Hutao C1.
TL;DR: git gud
yeah I have him at c1 and I don't think it makes much difference. It just helps you a bit more when you messed up rotation. C2 is where the value comes.
@@amnos180188 its like c1 childe, if you manage (in alhaithams case) good 3 mirror uptime its basically useless
So i'd like to suggest some things for how to play him. First it's probably better to do a charged atk after his e instead of a plunging atk since it takes less time, it's also better to start with his burst when you start using him in the rotation to get all 3 mirrors and than using his skill after a little while, and finally it'd be better to play him with nahida because she can battery him, apply more dendro and in your case with c2 decrease the def of ennemies (also some team suggestions haitham/nahida/raiden/yelan or haitham/nahida/yae/fischl,zhongli)
Anyway thank you for banger vids as always
Finally, a more expensive team than Freeze.
@@SuperSone FR. But there is a more f2p variant but since he has these characters i suggested them. You can go haitham/dendro traveler/kuki/xingqiu
I play him with Yelan/EM Raiden/YaoYao(C1). It's very satisfying. And I get better numbers than what Moga got from ATK buff team.
@@mamonth6985 you know all the dmg comes from EM Raiden, huperbloom teams doesn't show how good is he as dps, it only shows he is decent dendro applier
Moga please get more familiar with theorycrafting, and have at least some basis of knowledge before testing new units. You are so unfamiliar with hyperbloom teams, nahida and possibly Al Haitham's best teams, so are you really familiar with how to play quick bloom? I feel like you have far lower general knowledge than just the regular advanced player, who probably watches some zy0x or zajef and understands these mechanics. Al Haitham works best with nahida together, and nahida alone is better in most bloom teams, but he alone is also up there bc the damage floor is so high. You are meant to burst with no mirrors to get optimal uptime as well, but oh well you do not read comments anyways.
At a glance, he does play like Keqing, but after playing him, he feels more like Childe
-he uses dual blades
-he applies dendro super fast
-he can spam AoE dendro with his projections even with just 1 mirror
-if you play him wrongly, you'll get "punished" by having downtime on his infusion
playing him as a dps honestly is a little bit underwhelming. But using him as an enabler with beidou is pretty funny. Just looking at all of Beidou's lightning aggravates is a treat. But still build him as a dps since he still does ok-ish damage
1:15 “i don’t beep the meat” Moga 2023
"dendro keqig" is so stupid omg
Fr especially considering his playstyle is the exact opposite (Keqing is quickswap and Alhaitham is more onfield), his infusion isn't just from his E Skill and the infusion is much longer depending on how u work it
Harbinger depending on the team to keep you high hp is actually pretty insane, Alhaitham scale more with EM and spread scale with crit dmg so having a lot of it is pretty good. So good in fact that is competitive with 5* weapons.
i always get confused when i use his skill because im so used to using keqing, so i press his skill twice and realize thats not how it works.
While Alhaitham can look like Keqing to many by simply some of his animations, he's more complicated than her and can punish you if you mess up because of his long cooldown on his skill.
For playstyle: The thing about him is that you want as many mirrors as possible for the longest time, best having 3 mirrors for the best damage. His burst, while nice, doesn't do enough damage to be more imporant for his rotation than his skill, so those mirrors are the most important part of his kit where most of the damage comes from.
With his playstyle, you actuallly want to start with the burst to get 3 mirrors right away. Then do charge attack or use skill when he loses one mirror to get back to 3. Then again either charge attack or skill (the one you didn't do previously) to get another mirror back when it goes down to 2 again. So he keeps 3 mirrors as long as possible. There are some more advance tips about his playstyle, like switching out during burst and so on, I would recommend to check out a guide for it.
For build: His best set is actually Gilded dreams. You can go 2p2p if you don't have a full set or go 4p Deepwood if you have no one else to run it on though. Another dendro and/or fav weapons can solve his energy needs pretty well, I have 130% ER on him and Yaoyao with fav is a great teammate so far as well and Nahida is even better. EM weapons are great and he can use crit weapons really well too so both whales and F2P have at least one option for him already on their account. Best teams so far are spread and hyperbloom, but he works in other teams as well.
I love how different is the opinion about C1 of others compared to Moga's because he don't know Al-Haytham playstyle so well.
so basically keqing w more steps? 😭😭
@@hyeongpinkz Keqing if she was launched today
@@hyeongpinkz gameplay more similar to c6 Childe without the 20 sec cooldown
@@hyeongpinkz he isn't even played remotely like Keqing, people just call him that because of the teleport and Infusion. Dude idk Ayaka is even more like keqing because of infused charge attacks. I think playstyle wise is alhaitham like childe not Keqing
I always like it when you do the BEEEPPP.
Like I can't watch a moga raising videos without it.
After the Cyno farming experience those pupas are blessing
OMG I CAN RELATE
The amount of notifications on his map, it needs to scroll to see them all 💀
Personally, I'm planning on running him in hyperbloom team with Xinqiu, Yelan and Kuki (Em build on Kuki with gilded dream)
His name is really not that hard to pronounce. If you can pronounce "Keqing" and "Xiphos" right, you can learn how to properly say his name too. The joke is getting old.
Dont use bennet for al haithams spread dmg it ruins the reaction. just use the electro and dendro by itself for
Why you always use the same team for every unit then complain it isn't doing much... Dendro characters are different and need different set ups and teams first of all, Alhaitham best support is actually Nahida (dendro traveler is also really good) and above all you should have a good electro applicator 😭 "buffing" him with benny and Sara is actually not doing much for him. Just think of ways to buff his elemental mastery and not so much his attack
What I've always said: _You don't watch Moga for the guides, you watch him for the content._
@@JM_Tushe he does showcases, and showcases are meant to show the best a character can be. If he doesn't know how to buff a character that almost literally only needs em and electro, how is he gonna showcase anything 😭 I like moga, I think he's entertaining but I'm tired of the eternal Zhongli, benny, sara, and the occasional Shogun teams for every video, he has every single character in the game 😭
When you do his godmode, I highly recommend using the best team I have seen him in so far. The video is called "alhaitham's first speedrun" or something like that, and in that, he was using one of the strongest teams I have seen.
Fischl-Nahida-Yae-Haitham.
Yae and Alhaitham seem amazing together.
Y,all are sleeping on the harbinger of dawn
the problem with that weapon is the atk, its very good if you are a beginner but for al haitham an iron sting would be better (I think)
You don’t need to use the plunging attack to get all three mirrors you just need to tap then charged attack bc I believe the passive talent has the same cool-down for plunge and charged attacks
TLDR watch the zyox video if you want to learn how to play him
I mean, yes, but he could always just read the skill description xDDDDDD looking at him playing makes me feel more stupid
i cant turn volume that high cuz my mom is busy and what not so i put subtitles, when you said alhaitham the subtitles said i'll hate them LMAO
Fun fact: if you go far away from a boss and then change the time, the boss will reset
Wait what💀
Fr??
this feels like a lie but i'm kinda curious so i'll try it 👀
@@aspillust
Update?
Fake
The reason why nahida is so good on bloom teams is because she applied 1.5 units of dendro, meaning that the enemy will have dendro on him all the time making you trigger the strong side bloom (kinda like vape and reverse vape), making it so it only consumes 0.5 dendro so you essentially get 3 blooms per trigger on your tri karma thing, whereas alhaitham and normal dendro characters apply 1 unit of dendro so youre not gonna have as much uptime on the dendro aura making it so you trigger weak side blook (dendro on hydro aura) which consumes 1 unit of dendro so you essentially generate 2x less seeds
correct me if i'm wrong but i believe alhaitham applies 2 dendro every other projection attack on 3 mirrors because of his 2 hit icd and 3 mirror projection attack doing 3 hits at once which are triggered every 1.6 seconds . probably still less than nahida but i feel like it's not than far off
@@frostyboy9382 i dont really know about his dendro app but if it was that good id prob know it by now, also 2 units of dendro seems too busted to actually be a thing
@@joaocurado5277 he applies that when he's at 3 mirrors, not for his whole infusion time period. you can get up to 8 sec out of 15 with 3 mirrors if rotating properly with his c0. he's considered a broken t0 dps in CN already b/c of this.
In conclusion: Nahida makes Alhaitham 10x better
@@yurizahards6736 you can actually get up to 12 seconds uptime on 3 mirrors if you Q>na till a stack is about to disappear>E/CA>na again till a stack is about to disappear>E/CA depending on what's off cd.
Omg i rejoiced hearing u say his full name 😭 i felt rly awkward the past few videos when you didnt and I was sad bc i like your videos and don't wanna feel awkward watching them so now I'm very happy, you rock!!
I think I would be using his burst first to max mirrors and then have more duration with the infusion if I plan on a longer rotation. Otherwise skill then burst
apparently C1 doesnt help much, it doesnt change gameplay
it's actually pretty nice for quality of life, c1 deals with the 18s cooldown skill and makes let's it be up basically every rotation and not every other rotation.
@@coolguy10221 that's the thing if you do the optimal rotation. You'd have your E every rotation
The C1 is actually for the C6 where you burst with 2 Mirrors
@@coolguy10221 His C1 is overrated. If you play with the correct rotation, you will have no problem. Same with Childe and his C1. I'm Childe main and correct rotation solves his cooldown as well. If you manage the rotation, both Childe and Alhaitham have their skills ready by the time you switch back to them. If not, that's skill issue at that point because it IS manageable just fine.
@@sara_s1737 c1 simply is more forgiving for if you messed up rotation. imo c2 is where the value lies.
your al haitham pronunciation is great!
moga next time u go picking up materials for characters use nahidas E skill and it will be lot easier
Bro your content is top tier always updating us
Fun fact; Pupa means butt in polish :D
i got junpscared by the straightforward names of his constellations
I managed to get him for free at 10 pity(guaranteed), but looking at his constellations, especially C6, he feels like a totally different char from C0 to C6. Just like Cyno, you want him on field for as long as possible, but his C6 completely changes him to a quickswap playstyle, and you no longer have to worry about his skill cooldown at all
I was there for the “beep” montage. Am I a true moga fan now?
alhaithams skill cooldown isn’t actually that bad. if you start w the burst into a skill after 4 secs and a ca after 4 secs you can maximize his 3 mirror uptime to 12 secs w another 4 secs of two mirrors and about 8 secs of one mirror. at that point u can restart the rotation. or u can go skill ca/plunge for 4 secs of 3 mirror, 4 of two and 8 of one. at which point u can set up other skills again and restart that rotation. as long as u know how to play him you’ll never rly have a downtime longer than 1-2 secs :) (at least w my hyperbloom alhaitham, raiden, xinqiu and yaoyao team, but I don’t think other teams would be much different)
this is the worse vid about al haithem ive seen so far
I've found him overwhelmingly impressive for Nilou bloom teams. He's nice for everything else, but my Nilou team is now even more overpowered. I'd only had the trial Nahida for the team in the event last patch to compare him to, but he certainly doesn't seem like a downgrade.
I suggest Alhaitham, Raiden Shogun, and then two hydro off-field supports. Like Xingqiu and Yelan
Maybe go for a second dendro for the resonance, honestly. As well as extra energy. And use just one hydro so you don't keep removing quicken all the time.
if you do his rotations properly his c1 becomes useless just like childe's c1
To be honest, I feel like Moga isn't that excited about Alhaitham, which is okay, but Alhaitham one of my favorite characters and Moga being one of few genshin creators I watch makes me a bit disappointed 😔
if i'm not mistaken he even has the dragon strike bug that keqing had
You can still do it with polearms, swords and claymores but it’s the easiest and most consistent with claymores
@@justcherry8023 I'm talking about when we used your E at a certain angle to do an immersive attack, they fixed that way of doing that, but now it's back in alhaitham
Moga, he does not need or benefit much from bennett
Nahidas burst and her on deepwood buffs him far more than bennett ever can
U should always play him in spread or hyperbloom using raiden, yae or kuki also sac is by far one of his worst weapons
His skill isnt a thing to worry about in his normal rotation youll have up to 12 seconds of infusion OF 3 mirrors btw
So he can more than go over that even after his skills cd is up
You should try Alhaitham in hyperbloom. Kuki Shinobu is a beast and hitting as hard as some of my five star units. She’s one of my go to when spiral abyss is too hard
idk but for me my alhaitham is doing a lot more with slightly less EM and more crit DMG. i dont think he needs too much em imo, unlike people like nahida
do buffs from other team members, burst first for 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, do charged attack to keep at 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, do skill to retain 3 mirrors, NA for 4 seconds, swap off
Hey Moga! I’ve been following you for a very long time now and I’m quite a fan of your usual showcases and raising modes. I would still BEG YOU to please watch Zy0x’s guide on Al-Haitham before you do the next video! He is genuinely not an easy character to figure out by yourself at all, but he is insanely powerful when you utilize his kit correctly. I just think you would have a rather hard time timing his overall damage output without the guidance (like literally everyone, even myself). Love you
Just a quick tip about alhaithem ,getting him to level 90 is more important then raising any of his skills, a lvl 90 alahaitham with skill levels 1 outdpses a lvl 70 alhaithem with level 6 talents
The comments down here are just what I expected, didn't think I would need to say it but whatever: *_You don't watch Moga for the guides, you watch him for the content._*
When it comes to optimal rotations, combos and teams comps I prefer to go watch small channels or web pages (like Keqing mains), they are the ones who test the most in order to share optimal guides, but they lack… _charisma…_ this is where channels like Moga come in. 👍
I finally got him built and he’s amazing with his sig weapon! Haven’t played since he was announced cause I only wanted to play as him
raised videos moga be: "If the character doesnt have a proper build they cant do demage, who wouldve thought!"
14:19 the camera focus.. yeah hoyoverse definitely knows what they were doing
Good luck with GOD MODE alhathim
atk buffs are kinda useless to him tbh
Huh? Lol
@@chozengaming8547 he scales mostly on em, atk is good but even er is better for him
@@hana-772 that's just not true. He scales equally on EM and attack pretty much. Only the projection attacks use more EM scaling than attack and since you can build a lot more attack than EM it's pretty much even in priority. 2k attack is easier to hit than 1k em is
@@chozengaming8547 sure
@@chozengaming8547 He triple-dips into EM. He has native EM scaling on his skill and burst, his A4 passive boosts the damage of his skill and burst by a % of his EM and the Spread reaction scales exclusively with character level and EM.
EM is his primary source of damage. A Dendro support is non-negotiable with his ER issues, so an atk buff like Bennett's burst will contribute far less team damage than a Hydro applier to enable a Quickbloom team or a second, damage-oriented Electro character like Fischl, Yae or Beidou in a Spread team.
Moga, for the god mode you will have to do a lot of homework:
1) Learn the right rotatons
2) Farm gilded dreams set for 2 characters (Alhaitham and his hyperbloom triger. I am sure you Riden was not build into hyperbloom)
3) Get someone with deepwood set on the team (preferably Nahida but can be YaoYao or smth) Alhaitham NEEDS a teammate with a deapwood set on
This video was honestly quite painfull to watch. Why did you use Bennett??? Alhaitham and Bennett are never used together cos burning kills quicken aura...
I hate that the joke of dendro keqing is gonna stay a meme, because he works NOTHING like keqing, other then his maybe similar visuals. Nothing except visuals are similar but with the genshin community, what should I expect? They never look past first appearance.
Seethe.
"first impression is the best impression"
lmao its mostly a joke , no need to be so serious about it , besides he really does similar stuff like keqing like cmon that’s the truth
Keqing is Alhaitham lite. Because they are simillar. It's just that Alhaitham has more steps.
The only thing different he has is the mirrors 💀
In my experience as a Tighnari main, if you want to get the maximum personal damage from a Dendro main dps you should just run 2 Electro 2 Dendro with your second Dendro on Deepwood. Using Bennett just messes up the Catalyze (Dendro + Electro).
For max damage I'd recommend Alhaitham, Sara, Fischl/Yae/Shogun (apply consistent Electro) and Nahida (Deepwood), for general use probably swap out Sara for Kuki
"He's ok..."
Yeah Moga. When you give a main dps a support weapon with no base atk or OP 4pc sets for them they will be ok 😭
Tip: u can hold his e skill on the ground and plunge attack without having to aim above
0:04 Actually the first one you said is the correct way of saying it, they say it wrong in game
when you do the god mod for him please dont use burst when you have 3 mirrors its not worth it your burst is only usefull when you have 0 mirrors
So early that the thumbnail didn't even load
bro i love these videos but its starting to trigger me that he is a whale with like a 1000 resin and doesnt have a single good artifact set
You just have to use your brain a little when playing him. Also iron sting is very strong for him
as an arabic person, his name is kinda prenounced like El-Haitham? idk how to explain it but the ''A'' in ''Al'' is actually prenounced in between the letters A and E
Wake up, babe, Moga uploaded Alt's raising video. 🤗
if ur struggling with how to pronounce his name, just say it like "i hate them"
His burst for me hits like 36k each attack lol I love him already even with level 6 talents
Am i the only person who laughed at "we nut"?
Also if you do his skill and then a charge/ plunge when the fusion ends you can have 100% uptime with his fusion, using characters like raiden or miko might be better though for aggravate bonus
All have them
Genshin is a Game where the Characters Name have a 2nd meaning
Genshin has to reduced the overall costs of raising new characters, at least for high AR players, that fact that it might take at least 3 months to fully build a character from scratch is ridiculous, given that every patch there's at least one new character.
Ho-ho~ hold your horse, we still have the lvl 100 left. 😈
A pretty simple solution to that is to prefarm, atleast just the mora and exp books
@@lunasuu That’s not a solution lol what
You still haven't tried hyperbloom? You should.
You really need to watch a guide he’s kinda complicated and u need to understand his rotations in order to play him optimally.
You really need to learn his mechanics for his god mode, or he's not going to look like much. His best teams right now are hyperbloom with Nahida, Yelan/Xingqiu and Kuki or spread with Nahida, Fischl and Kuki/Zhongli. Dendro resonance is great for him.
You want to use his ult first to get mirrors, then E/charged attack after 4s and charged attack/E after another 4s to maximize his 3 mirror uptime. His burst doesn't hit hard enough to be played around like you're trying to do.
Al Haitham is almost Childe levels of challenging and definitely only resembles Keqing visually. He's a fantastic dps and driver in one. Don't let him fool you into believing he's just a feeble scholar, that is what he wants you to think.
the gameplay from 4:38 was very high quality
Hi hope you're doing well
HoYo changed some mechanics,
Any enemy that dies rather farther from where you are won't give you any matts or drops unlike before, maybe because of Nahida where you can literally kill small monsters even from far away due to her E
14:23 Moga: "uhh i saw a 13k on there"
yeah i saw it also but what jumped in my eye was his ABS OH MY GOD
His perfect setup is
Q
Arak for 4 sec
Plunge/chafed attack
Attack for 8 sec
E
After you hit E at the end is that when you’d swap to your other teammates? Like is that E just for particles/damage
Shouldnt be E for the middle combo? And then Charge atk for the last. If you do the E for the last combo the cooldown will be longer.
@@ivandanu7745 he’s so complicated, I guess you might be right 😅 I’m still messing up with his rotations
was waitin for this vid and plz do a revisit god mode for hu tao during her banner
Moga if u use bloom alhaitham then u need 2 dendro 2 hydro on a team for maximum damage also one dendro has to be wearing the support artifact
I like using him with another dendro on the team for extra em and I noticed it really ups his damage
dislike for KeQing comparison
they have such a different gameplay that comparing Haitham to her is like comparing two my channel to Moga's
For prononciation, in the intro you say it almost perfectly, you say « Haytham or Alheitham » at 0:04 so if youd like to pronounce it like we do in arabic countries, think of it as Al Haitham
But ofc if you say it like the VAs do, no one should be mad at you 😊
