Weapons
CRIT DMG
Light of Foliar Incision's CRIT DMG and EM-scaling passive directly boost Spread and Normal Attack damage; best-in-slot for on-field combos.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG stat stick. Alternating Normal Attack and Skill keeps its 16% Skill/Normal DMG buffs active through the N2D/N3D chains.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate substat and HP-to-ATK passive make it a flexible, consistent damage option when you lack a dedicated Dendro sword.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG, Dendro DMG bonus, and Mistsplitter stacks reward Normal Attack and Burst casts, fitting the combo window.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate plus Normal Attack DMG buffs suit the N2C/N3D chains; nearby allies using Skill can fuel its Wavespike stacks.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery substat and reaction-triggered ATK/Normal Attack DMG buffs amplify Spread and team damage; ideal if another ally can trigger its sigil.
CRIT Rate
Budget CRIT Rate option that raises Skill and Burst DMG; its crit-scaling passive rewards frequent hits during combos.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery substat and Skill-triggered DMG bonus make it a strong low-cost Spread pick.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate and Normal Attack/Charged Attack DMG boosts directly benefit the dash-cancel combo; crit heals help sustain.
ATK%
ATK% stat and stacking ATK passive work if a shielder is present; shield strength also eases on-field uptime.
Elemental Mastery
F2P Elemental Mastery option; its all-DMG passive is simple and boosts Spread without Energy Recharge demands.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG stat stick for budget crit; kill-triggered ATK helps in multi-target floors but not boss fights.
CRIT DMG
Cheap CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG when HP stays above 90%; needs a strong shielder/healer to keep the passive up.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery substat converted to Energy Recharge for self/team; helps Burst-ready rotations while still boosting Spread.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge and Skill DMG/CRIT Rate passive ease Burst uptime, letting you open with Burst more often.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge substat and Burst DMG/attack speed passive help meet ER needs and smooth the Burst-ready rotation.
Artifacts
2pc gives Elemental Mastery; 4pc adds ATK and more EM after reactions, the ideal Spread DPS set if team elements are mixed.
Dendro DMG and 30% Dendro RES shred after Skill/Burst; use on the wielder only if no other ally holds it, otherwise it's a team support set.
Dendro DMG and 30% Dendro RES shred after Skill/Burst; use on the wielder only if no other ally holds it, otherwise it's a team support set.
4pc boosts Normal Attack/Charged Attack DMG and grants up to 36% CRIT Rate with HP changes; strongest if paired with Furina or other HP-drain support.

Recommended Primary Stats
Burst ready:
Burst on cooldown:
Weave dash cancels (D) after 2 normals; end chains with a charged hit (C) to reset the combo window.
SPREAD DPS
Maximizes Alhaitham's kit via Spread and Elemental Mastery-scaling Skill. High on-field Dendro application, flexible teams. Excels in Quicken/Quickbloom. Prioritize level 90/90.
Weapon Choices:
Light of Foliar Incision: prefers Elemental Mastery sands even with few/no Spread procs (Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom).
Toukabou Shigure: ranking assumes single-target; falls behind Iron Sting and Blackcliff Longsword in AoE.
Harbinger of Dawn: with near-perfect passive uptime, similar to Haran Geppaku Futsu.
Xiphos' Moonlight / Festering Desire: similar to The Black Sword with higher Energy Recharge needs or burst every rotation.
Wolf-Fang [R5]: similar to Haran Geppaku Futsu and Mistsplitter Reforged.
Uraku Misugiri: with a Geo unit, on par with Light of Foliar Incision, or slightly better in AoE where Foliar stacks drop faster.
Artifact Sets:
Gilded Dreams (4): assumes another Deepwood Memories holder; otherwise Deepwood Memories is best.
Deepwood Memories (2) / Emblem of Severed Fate (2) / +80 Elemental Mastery set (2): similar or better than Gilded Dreams (4) with higher Energy Recharge needs or burst every rotation, or better substats.
Marechaussee Hunter (4): best set with Furina.
Main Stat Priorities:
Quicken/Quickbloom: Elemental Mastery sands (~5% difference).
Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom with few/no Spread: ATK% sands (unless Light of Foliar Incision).
Energy Recharge sands for bursting every rotation to increase Dendro seed generation.
