SPREAD DPS
This playstyle maximizes Alhaitham's kit, leveraging both Spread reactions and his Elemental Mastery-scaling skill for significant damage. As a Spread DPS with a high rate of on-field Dendro application and flexible team compositions, he excels in Quicken/Quickbloom teams. To further maximize his performance, it's highly recommended to prioritize leveling him to 90/90.

Regarding Weapon Choices:

Light of Foliar Incision: This weapon prefers EM sands even in situations with fewer or no Spread procs, such as in Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom teams.
Toukabou Shigure: This ranking assumes single-target situations; in AoE situations, it starts falling behind weapons such as Iron Sting and Blackcliff Longsword.
Harbinger of Dawn: If you can maintain near-perfect uptime on its passive, this weapon will perform similarly to weapons like Haran Geppaku Futsu.
Xiphos' Moonlight / Festering Desire: These weapons can perform similarly to The Black Sword in teams where you have higher Energy Recharge requirements or want to burst every rotation.
Wolf-Fang: At R5, this weapon performs similarly to Haran Geppaku Futsu and Mistsplitter Reforged.
Uraku Misugiri: With a Geo unit on the team, this performs on par with Light of Foliar Incision, or even slightly better in AoE scenarios where you lose stacks faster on Foliar.

Regarding Artifact Sets:

Gilded Dreams (4): This ranking assumes that you already have another Deepwood Memories holder on the team; if not, then Deepwood Memories becomes his best set.
Deepwood Memories (2) / Emblem of Severed Fate (2) / +80 EM set (2): These split set options can actually perform similarly to Gilded Dreams (4) or even surpass it in situations where you have higher Energy Recharge requirements or want to burst every rotation, or even if they just have better substat rolls on them.
Marechaussee Hunter (4): If played with Furina, this is Alhaitham's best set.

Regarding Main Stat Priorities: Usually, in Quicken/Quickbloom teams, Alhaitham leans towards Elemental Mastery sands (roughly 5% difference usually). But in Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom teams with fewer to no Spread reactions, he skews more towards ATK% sands (unless you're using Light of Foliar Incision). Or even Energy Recharge sands if you're trying to burst every rotation for increased Dendro seed generation in those teams.

Abductive Reasoning

Universality: An Elaboration on Form

"Truth inherently exists amidst uncertainty. Even the greatest of scholars are not immune to error."

Rushes forward, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents when the rush ends, causing a Chisel-Light Mirror to form.
Holding this skill will cause it to behave differently.

Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the direction of Alhaitham's rush attack.

Chisel-Light Mirror
When this skill is unleashed, Alhaitham will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. If there are no Mirrors at this time, he will generate 1 additional Mirror. Chisel-Light Mirrors will have the following properties:
·When he possesses Chisel-Light Mirrors, Alhaitham's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Dendro DMG. This cannot be overridden.
·When attacks of the aforementioned kind hit opponents, the Chisel-Light Mirrors will unleash a Projection Attack that deals AoE Dendro DMG based on the number of Mirrors on the field.
·A total of 3 Chisel-Light Mirrors can exist at once.
·The Chisel-Light Mirrors will disappear one after the other over time, and will all disappear when Alhaitham leaves the field.

Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena

"If a researcher makes wisdom their goal, then they should be prepared to make an enemy of every word they read. Only then can they avoid bias."

Creates a Particular Binding Field and deals multiple instances of AoE Dendro DMG.
If Chisel-Light Mirrors exist when this ability is unleashed, all such Mirrors will be consumed and increase the number of DMG instances dealt.
2s after this ability is unleashed, if 0/1/2/3 Mirrors were consumed, Alhaitham will generate 3/2/1/0 new Mirrors in turn.

Passive Talent

Four-Causal Correction

Ascension Phase 1

When Alhaitham's Charged or Plunging Attacks hit opponents, they will generate 1 Chisel-Light Mirror. This effect can be triggered once every 12s.

Mysteries Laid Bare

Ascension Phase 4

Each point of Alhaitham's Elemental Mastery will increase the DMG dealt by Projection Attacks and Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena by 0.1%.
The DMG of both aforementioned abilities can be increased by a maximum of 100% this way.

Law of Reductive Overdetermination

Passive

Constellations

Intuition

Constellation Lv. 1

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.

Debate

Constellation Lv. 2

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.

Negation

Constellation Lv. 3

Increases the Level of Universality: An Elaboration on Form by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Elucidation

Constellation Lv. 4

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 again while they are in effect.

Sagacity

Constellation Lv. 5

Increases the Level of Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Structuration

Constellation Lv. 6

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.

The Rational

Default

Alhaitham's outfit. "Don't bother the Scribe with trivialities... What do you think those soundproofers of his are for, anyway?" So observed an experienced staff member at the Temple of Silence.
