>>164 it's the Hu Tao situation all over again bro. takes time for community to accept he's falling lmao

Game8 is just biased legit that is the only answer. He is not more free to play than navia or mualani, for his DPR to be high his best teams require atleast three 5 star characters . He certianly doesn't do more damage than they do. He doesn't have more interruption resistance than they do. he ahsn't had a new upgrade to his team since his release. Clear he is someones fav on game8 and they want to keep in SS even though he doesn't deserve it

>>161 Ayato is very versatile and F2P friendly too so what?

>>161 Ayato is very versatile and F2P friendly too, you know, just saying

>>159 I never said Alhaitham was my favorite character, I was comparing his versatility against various Bosses in Abyss and Theater, I admit he can't deal huge damage like Neu or Fatui 4th, but he is f2p friendly, although difficult to play. But enough to overcome Abyss and Theater within the time limit. Facing various Bosses is what a pragmatic person like me should need.

>>158 Of course, overworld bosses will always appear in the Abyss. And I'm talking about the Abyss and Theater, not the Overworld. As long as you have enough time to get the maximum rewards in there, being faster is not really important when there are many things to care about in the game. List the elemental bosses, add the elemental leaders, corresponding to the types. You will see that Denro and Geo are very versatile against bosses regardless of element. Although not the strongest in terms

>>157 Sounds like bias to em just because you don't want your favourite character to be S, this tier list has always been about strength and versatility both of which he has fallen off from

>>155 That doesn't matter most characters can clear overwolrd easily. His clear times in abyss are not even the fastest or even close to it. Navia and mualani can do more DPR than him and can clear faster. This tier list specifically focuses on abyss. Any character can make overworld easy

Judging characters based on strength stats makes the game boring, if you really care about damage stats, then 1one hit hack is the ideal choice.

When you go to the List of Bosses of game8, you will see that Neuvillette, Mualani and Arlecchino are useless against many elemental bosses, and bosses with elemental shields respectively. And they also appear often in Black Hole and Theater. While Drendro and Geo Boss are not many. About Kinich, he is not good at handling crowds and it is difficult to support him, it is difficult to combine the group when using elemental skills to interrupt the time, making the gameplay boring.

He's still in SS because it's simple, very few bosses can resist Denro and Geo. He can defeat many types of Bosses. The build is very easy. Recently in Black Hole and Theater, Hydro and Pory bosses often appear to counter Neu and 4th Fatui. But Denro boss doesn't appear. I think it's biased to rank based on huge damage stats and ignore other factors.

>>151 Kinich is so much better, and doesn't need fucking nahida

Id also add being high S doesn't make a character "bad" he is just not top 3 and anyone with sense in this game knows that, Game8 overrated him to high hell. if you like him he is strong and can clear abyss but he is not clearing or close to nuvi, arle or mualani

>>151 Nobody is arguing he doesn't do great damage but he doesn't belong with neuvillette or Arle and mualani does more damage and is just as F2P friendly if anything she should be SS, His DPS is high S teir at most, compared to the others the SS raiting is just Bias and wanking a character beyond their means. Nobody even believes in this top 3 anymore

okay, everybody in here saying he's doesn't deserve ss tier doesn't seem to understand that having a kit that doesn't pop up 100k's every second at c0 doesn't make a character bad. what also doesn't make a character bad is needing a f*cking team. keep in mind that he can't rely on kazuha or xilonen like other carries do!!! i was very skeptical of him too, lost on his weapon, now playing him with clorinde's for the crit. he's great, deserves ss tier, best dendro dps hands down.

Although Hutao has high damage quickly in the first half of the match due to cooldown, Alhaitham can deal even damage if he controls the sword rain well when using Rage skill combined with elemental skills lasting 20s-25s when not hit by the boss. Hutao interrupts at 10s, about 5s

Hutao only needs to hit the opponent when having C1, while Alhaitham relies on seizing the opportunity, I believe that playing Alhaitham is much more difficult than Hutao.

if you do not rotate well, being knocked away by the boss, especially bosses that move a lot, it takes a lot of time to destroy, he is for gamers who like hardcore skills.

Alhaitham is similar to Hutao in that he needs more elemental reactions, especially electro, you know he has Vision, not Archon, his power is quite absurd, the build is less expensive than Hutao, however, the usage is quite difficult, especially in the team there must be someone with Deepwood Memories, extremely high damage mainly from sword rain, mastering the rotation requires you to dodge well, know how to seize the opportunity when confronting the boss directly. Extremely easy to be interrup

Seriously how is this guy still rated SS, Game8 are so alhaitham fan girls for sure. he is not SS
