Best Alhaitham Builds

SPREAD DPS This playstyle maximizes Alhaitham's kit, leveraging both Spread reactions and his Elemental Mastery-scaling skill for significant damage. The high on-field Dendro application rate, coupled with flexible team compositions, establishes Alhaitham as a top-tier Spread DPS, especially in Quicken/Quickbloom teams, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing leveling to 90/90 for optimal performance. 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 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. 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 if they just have better substat rolls on them. Regarding Mainstat Priorities: Usually in Quicken/Quickbloom teams, Alhaitham leans towards Elemental Mastery sands (roughly 5% or so difference usually). However, 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.
