I've had such a weird experience with Alhaitham… he's got a great build, all his ideal team mates, etc, and something about his playstyle just never quite felt all that strong to me compared to my other characters, so I rarely used him. Guess it's just a familiarity thing though, since if I actually look at the damage numbers he's better than I'd expect… odd though! Definitely should use him more.
YESSSS! π I love his character, it's a refreshing take on the (seemingly) aloof scholar, and his character design is CHEF'S KISS. He's the first five star I wanted immediately (I came in right around his last rerun), but also the one who got away. TT_TT
ETA: Also the Sumeru Crew is just my favorite national crew, honestly.
Kaveh and the Dendro Scribe are an old married couple and no one can tell me otherwise. π
I love him so much, but he's also the most squishy sword user I have ever found. Def listen to the Saurus and bring along a healer or shielder or a combination of the two. And man do they love to target him – it's like all the hilichurls know he's squishy or something π He's my double crowned king – I will always adore him, now if they could have given him synergy with his "roommate" I would have been happy π€¬
His story quest raised some interesting things that I think (from lore research and theory making) may be important in the long run for the overall story but WHY didn't they let us stay inside his head more? I like that they've moved to making their characters center stage now – but I'd love another quest that truly delved into backstory rather than did lore drop/plot furtherance. Gib me more Dendro Scribe!
Dps or a scholar?……id say actor π(that 3.2 archon quest…..ππ) I have been using him in the abyss ever since his release and still do, hes super comfy and strong to use and have some of the best characs to form a team with him Edit: Ohhoh and not to forget those headphones!!! Thats hard to powercreep……..
One of the best unit ever made in genshin, gameplay, performances, ease to build, design, personality, presence in the story/events/other characters quests: 10/10 everywhere. I wasn't lucky enough during his release so I had to spend a bit of money to get him but I dont regret it at all and I really hope that he also get a second quest more about him this time.
If only Furina wasn't right next to him, I would pull for him. Keqing was a character I enjoyed because of her gameplay, and a dendro version of her sounds great for me.
Speaking of Furina, are you planning on making a video of her in her rerun?
Alhaitham was one of the first characters that made me fight for him to the end of the universe! Still my favourite of the Dendro characters, although I still have to build him π I will be taking notes so I can start working on him π₯°
Objectively He's more valuable than Clorinde for my Account. I already have Raiden plus I also have his 2 strongest teammate (I think), Nahida and C6 Fischl. But somehow I'm not yet have the urge to pull him. And my reason are so strange tbh lol. I like big number in Purple colour more than the Green one. Next time "feeble" Scholar, maybe I'll pull you π. Next time
I love Alhaitham and am so happy I pulled him. He's not complicated at all. Everyone made it sound like he is, but he's not. If you've ever played Ningguang, you can figure out Alhaitham.
Alhaitham got done dirty. He is supremely underrated and one of the strongest DPS in the game. I dare say he's more useful than Nahida even, depending. Together they are just gross
I pulled Al Haitham because he got me at the end of Archon quest. His reason for starting a coup just made cackle. Then he proceeded to take over my account to a point where he became my strongest charecter and his team became my 2nd strongest team. Regarding meta stuff its a popularity contest. It is about 80% bias, regardless what math and actual states of accounts say. What I do need is more interactions between Kaveh and Haitham. They got that old married couple vibe going and i Live (them two in cyno quest was chefs kiss)
That "for the rest of us" part at the end is so important. C0 value for him is just amazing. And while Neuvillette and Arlecchino are so damn strong, I just find Alhaitham so much fun. Each of the 3 "starter pokemon" here fill a certain niche for me and I couldn't be happier with this trio. Great analysis video. π
He is so in my must get category… and like you, I'm very primo-poor at the moment. π
Re his relationship with Kaveh… have you seen how Alhaitham's idle animation connects with Kaveh? (Kavel loses his key, which happens to be with Alhaitham). I thought that was brilliant!
Yayyy another video! π₯³
Saurusness vid = instant watch

oooo the way you made it soooo tempting to pull for him! Esp since I already have so many built folks who work perfectly with him. Great video!
Amazing video as always!!

i have yet to build him but i love his playstyle!!
I have him and I love him. Justice for Kaveh!!!!!
Love your voice, love that this video came out just as Alhaitham is about to rerun. Thanks for this!

"Al-Haytham deserves better" is not a sentence I expected to read someday…
Me who got this charachter in just one wish β οΈ FOR REAL

ER is overrated on him with double dendro, just hv 125-130 or so and add some fav in the tream if you wan to be safe..
