The Deepwood Memories artifact is Alhaitham's best artifact set if there are no characters in the party who can equip it except him.
Since he's alone, he will need more energy to recharge his burst. Thus, characters who can wield Favonius weapons are recommended.

2nd | Normal Attack |

Alhaitham's entire kit mainly focuses on improving the damage of his Projection Attacks, which scales with his Elemental Skill. While Alhaitham uses every talent in hand, players should prioritize leveling his Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks as he uses them the most.

This Alhaitham team comp focuses on applying as much Dendro as possible to cause and trigger a combination of Hyperbloom and Quicken with Alhaitham. The Dendro in this team can be substituted with another Electro if you have enough Energy Recharge for Alhaitham.
If you do not have Nahida, Raiden, or Yelan, a more free to play option with Yaoyao, Xingqiu, and Shinobu are also good.

A party consisting of Dendro and Electro characters enables Alhaitham to focus on maximizing his own personal damage with Spread. Other supprortive characters like Zhongli, or buffers for Electro like Kazuha are okay alternatives.

This team comp for Alhaitham centers around him enabling the formation of cores for Thoma to trigger Bugeon. For the reaction to not cause Burning, two Hydro Characters (or an Anemo to swirl Hydro) are recommended to facilitate the reaction.

If you don't have premium characters, this free-to-play party that centers on Hyperbloom or Quicken can perform well for Alhaitham. Lisa, however, will need a lot of Energy Recharge to make her accessible.

Alhaitham's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Intuition When a Projection Attack hits an opponent, Universality: An Elaboration on Form's CD is decreased by 1.2s. This effect can be triggered once every 1s. |
C2 |
Debate When Alhaitham generates a Chisel-Light Mirror, his Elemental Mastery will be increased by 50 for 8 seconds, max 4 stacks. Each stack's duration is counted independently. This effect can be triggered even when the maximum number of Chisel-Light Mirrors has been reached." |
C3 |
Negation Increase the Level of Universality: An Elaboration on Form by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Elucidation When Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena is unleashed, the following effects will become active based on the number of Chisel-Light Mirrors consumed and created this time around: • Each Mirror consumed will increase the Elemental Mastery of all other nearby party members by 30 for 15s. • Each Mirror generated will grant Alhaitham a 10% Dendro DMG Bonus for 15s. The-pre-existing duration of the aforementioned effects will be cleared if you use Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena while they are in effect. |
C5 |
Sagacity Increase the Level of Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Structuration Alhaitham gains the following effects: • 2 seconds after Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena is unleashed, he will generate 3 Chisel-Light Mirrors regardless of the number of mirrors consumed. • If Alhaitham generates Chisel-Light Mirrors when their numbers have already maxed out, his CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG will increase by 10% and 70% respectively for 6s. If this effect is triggered again during its initial duration, the duration remaining will be increased by 6s. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★★ |
• Decreases Alhaitham's Elemental Skill cooldown. • Greatly improves his DPS rotation. |
C2 | ★★☆ |
• Increases Elemental Mastery which translates to more damage. |
Alhaitham's constellations simply increase his damage and comfortability, but they are not necessary if you can follow his rotations well.

It's recommended to keep up his Chisel-Light Mirrors around 2-3 stacks. This means you will need to juggle around using his Elemental Burst, Elemental Skill, and Ascension Passive every 4 seconds.
Sample Simple Rotation |
---|
Elemental Skill → Charged/Plunge Attack → Projection Attacks for 8 to 12 seconds |
If you are looking for a simple rotation in the overworld, or if you have no burst, then using his Elemental Skill into Charged/Plunge Attack is Alhaitham's simplest rotation. Only switch when your mirrors decay to 1 stack.
We recommended to fast hold your Elemental Skill then to do a Plunging Attack to get 3-Mirror stacks immediately.
Sample Long Rotation |
---|
Elemental Burst → Wait for Infusion → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks → Elemental Skill → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks → Charged Attack → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks |
The video above showcases how you can deal the 3-stack Projection Attack six times with this long rotation for Alhaitham. Due to the tightness of the rotation, you will need practice to achieve at least four to six of said Projection Attacks!
Note that there is a 2 second delay of gaining mirrors after using your Elemental Burst. You can utilize that time for the next variant of rotation:
Sample Low Ping Rotation |
---|
Elemental Burst → Switch Character to Elemental Skill → Switch back to Alhaitham -> Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks → Elemental Skill → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks → Charged Attack → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks |
This is a variant of the long rotation above that lets you swap to one of your supports after using his Elemental Burst, then immediately swapping back to Alhaitham to get 3 Mirror stacks. This is to compensate the 2 second delay of gaining mirrors from his Burst.
Note that this rotation requires lower ping to do so.
Sample Short Rotation |
---|
Elemental Skill → Charged/Plunge Attack → Two 3-Mirror Projection Attacks → Elemental Burst |
To get the most damage out of your Elemental Burst, only use it after getting 3 Mirror Stacks from your Elemental Skill and Charged/Plunge Attacks. Due to the energy cost and mirror removal, we recommend using this only when you're about to defeat a boss.
Most unique to Alhaitham is his dual-wielding prowess. Based on his kit, players can expect to use his Normal Attacks regularly, especially right after using his Elemental Skill!
The Chisel-Light Mirrors mechanic is integral to Alhaitham's entire kit. He can gain Chisel-Light Mirrors through his Elemental Skill, Ascension Passive, and Elemental Burst.
If Alhaitham has at least 1 mirror, whenever he deals damage with his Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, he will also do Projection Attacks with increasing intensity the more mirror stacks he currently possess.
In addition, having at least 1 Chisel-Light Mirror will infuse his attacks with Dendro, which cannot be overriden.
His Elemental Skill can either be pressed or held. If pressed, Alhaitham will immediately teleport and damage enemies around him. If held, he can instead aim it.
When Alhaitham uses his Elemental Skill, he also gains 1 Chisel Light Mirror. If he doesn't have any stacks prior to activation, he'll also gain 1 additional mirror. The maximum mirrors he can have is 3.
His Elemental Burst deals instances of damage and will vary in power depending on the number of Chisel-Light Mirrors he currently has. The more mirrors you have, the more times his burst will damage enemies.
The catch here is that using his Elemental Burst also creates a number of Chisel-Light Mirrors the fewer the stacks you had prior to activation. If you had no mirrors, you will gain 3 mirrors. If you had the maximum mirrors, you will regain nothing.
This means that if you want to prolong his Chisel-Light Mirrors and Dendro Infusion, you will need to burst with no mirror stacks.
