Alhaitham's abilities focus on his Chisel-Light Mirrors, which transform his basic attacks into Dendro damage and enhance both his damage output and Dendro application depending on the number of active Mirrors he has.
🟢POSSITIVE:

-

-
-Vulnerable to disruptions due to low resistance.
LEVEL & TALENT
It's more important for players to focus on leveling up their characters rather than their Talents. In teams centered around Quicken and Quickbloom, about half of Alhaitham's damage comes from the Spread reaction, which scales based on character levels rather than Talent levels. This means that increasing his Talents doesn't result in as much of a damage boost as it does for most characters.
Among Alhaitham's three Talents, his Elemental Skill should be prioritized as it contributes the most to his damage output apart from the Spread reaction. If using his Elemental Burst every other rotation, focus on leveling up his Normal Attacks over his Elemental Burst. If using his Burst every rotation, level them up equally.
