Alhaitham is best in Spread teams (Alhaitham + Nahida + Yae Miko + Zhongli) where his personal damage reaches maximum potential. The rotation is: Nahida EQ -> Yae EEE -> Zhongli hold E -> Alhaitham Q -> N3D x3. His mirror management is critical - always maintain 3 mirrors during his burst window. Losing all three mirrors drops his DPS by 30%.

Rotation Guide

E (Skill) → plunge → N3D (3 normal + dash cancel) → Q when mirrors expire

The rotation matters more than raw stats for this team. Practice the order until it becomes muscle memory — the difference between a smooth rotation and a messy one can be 30-40% of team DPS. Key tips: always snapshot buffs before the main damage window, and don't waste energy by overcapping.

Team Building Tips

Reaction coverage: Make sure your team enables Alhaitham's best reactions. For a Dendro unit, this means having the right off-field aura appliers.
Energy requirements: Check every teammate's ER needs. Alhaitham's rotation depends on everyone having their burst ready on time.
Survivability: Include a healer or shielder unless Alhaitham can sustain themselves. Comfort lets you focus on damage.
Upgrade path: Start with the F2P team, then upgrade one slot at a time as you pull better units.
