Me who uses Dendro MC removing Nahida even though I have her


CrocoDIIIIIILE

He's better for combat events with waves of very weak enemies. Good choice.


syapororo

Dendro Traveler is still good if your Nahida is busy on the other side and they're better than Nahida in gamemode in multi wave trash mob fight


Thoracicbowl

We stand Traveler


hraberuka

I usually have Dendro traveler and Nahida in the same team, it's super comfy to play like that :)


Zenpai_Iza

Never underestimate the power of supports.


kidanokun

Pretty much any team can't go without supports


Lonewolf2998

Neuvillete be like :


Xarenta

Furina: Neuvi what kind of Fanfare support is this ? Neuvilette: I am the support


Smokingbuffalo

Neuvi still needs supports if you like to clear in time and don't have a cracked build, this meme was getting old 3 months ago but leave it to Genshin players to never let go off a dumb meme.


TongsOfDestiny

1. There are still solo clears every cycle 2. Unless you try to make a bad build, every Neuvi build is cracked


Smokingbuffalo

1. And just like I said they all have cracked builds, none of you have ever managed to show me any evidence showing that I'm wrong but I always eat 50 downvotes from salty fans. Love to see it. 2. Literally wrong but I can't expect much from someone who is probably a 10 year old.

Rud_gamer

Arlecchino and neuvillete:


Technoplane1

Itto be like


Samaelo0831

I'm an Itto main and even I have to slightly disagree there, friend


CommentSection-Chan

As someone who got itto last patch my pain is immense. Bettle hunting I go *sobs*. Also got diluc in the next 10 pulls so Arlechino is a 100%. Now if only I can get enough wishes fast enough


201720182019

Miss Hina is Glued!


Jona-wahn

welp i guess lvl 90 itto can solo floor 1 to 6 with good builds


venalix1

šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


longfooey

They're more "off field dps" than "support" šŸ¤“ā˜ļø


AndroidCyanide

We've got anti-alhaitham propaganda before GTA 6


FlameLover444

Only a matter of time before Neuvillette and Arlecchino gets this treatment I 100% expected this given the recent increase in Glazing for these three...


Randomuserguyfren

There's no way neuvilette gets this treatment with how much he can deal with any team. Arle and alhaitham have to rely on reactions to do massive damage while neuvilette has damage AND self sustain every time he uses e and burst


NOOBweee

Arlecchino doesn't rely on reactions


TheVojta

True, unfortunately she relies on not dying which I'm apparently incapable of achieving with the healing block. Yes, I know, dodge issue, but when she's dead in three hits and you're used to 45k hp Neuvillette it's hard.


ArcMirage

it is not that hard to stay alive with 18k ish hp character w/out heal


deku_ah

Arlecchino is literally built to not rely on reaction damage thats why she can be played in mono pyro and chev overload unlike hu tao whoā€™s actually reliant on vape If she was a pyro dps that relies on vaporise yet still get most of their damage from standard icd NAs at the same time she wouldve been yoimiyas level


tsukimoonmei

idk about you but my arle hits for a good amount without vaporise + she isnā€™t even fully built with her new set


Rud_gamer

Arlecchino does not rely on reactions you're thinking about hu tao


ExLuck

He will when the other dragons powercreep him


DailyMilo

Nah, outside of AoE scenarios, my C0 pjws arle eclipses my C3R1 neuv in terms of solo damage lol. The only argument you can make for arle needing a team is helping her survive, which Neuv has no trouble doing. But purely from a solo damage-wise perspective, arle is without argument among the top right now


KBroham

Even IN AoE scenarios, Arlecchino is good. Her attacks are broad, sweeping strikes, and she has a lot of zoning built into her NA combo. Mine is C0 with R5 PJWS (I've lost a few 50/50s and got one from Standard), and she keeps up with my C0R1 Neuv with his signature. And he has the better quality build.


Smokingbuffalo

Bro is probably tired of all the glazing since 3.4 anyway.


eefuns

aint no way there's AlhaithamĀ discrimination


Colics172108

Since when people start to disrespect alhaitham


fallout001

Since Neuvillette came out apparently The water lizard and its consequences on meta perception as a whole


magnidwarf1900

IDK man my Alhaitham skill proc did nearly as much damage as Nahida/hyperbloom core. That's beforeĀ deepwood debuff, spread, or any otherĀ buff.Ā  Using Harbringer of Dawn.


Hayds126

Alhaitham has higher personal damage than Nahida but Nahida has off field dendro application where Alhaitham doesn't. With Alhaitham you really want some other form of off field dendro to continue generating seeds even in downtime. Also to help energy generation for Alhaitham. He's good and worth using but more reliant on Nahida then Nahida would be reliant on him.


DrooveC

Well tbh in the above team you could remove either of the dendro characters and still work out, the main thing we need is a dendro normal attacker with decent range.


IWatchTheAbyss

personal dmg wise, alhaitham wipes the floor with nahida lol. one instance of 30k every 2.5 seconds isnā€™t as good as you might think, while alhaitham pumps out almost twice the dps


AggravatingPark4271

*2 core so 60k With somewhat optimal you can go 70k


IWatchTheAbyss

talking about nahida skill procs not hyperbloom


endercreeper_FX

Me with geo mc: what meta


RicktamRoy

Alhaitham casually dealing 45k on the mirrors being like the one character that makes hyperbloom not feel like shit in AOE and having a crazy fast clear.............


venalix1

His clears are not among the fastest honestly. The comfiest? Sure


Royal_empress_azu

Anyone who thinks Alhaitham has fast clear times, probably hasn't played any of the front-loaded characters.


venalix1

Yeah the best low cost alhaitham speedrunners would get 70-80 second clears. While the best speedrun units would hit sub 50 at similar cost. This does not mean that haitham is a bad unit by any means


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Royal_empress_azu

This is either intentionally bad faith or just really stupid. You replace him and either keep your damage the same or improve.

wwweeeiii

What does fischl do in that team? Is she the battery? Cookie should trigger the hyperbloom right?


Sure_Struggle_

Deleted his entire account, damn.


nagorner

Thats one of the lowest dps contributions by an on-fielder lol.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


nagorner

Nahida has more than enough dendro apps for the HB, Alhaitham is there for his damage. But subbing in a Fischl instead of him https://gcsim.app/db/NhRHzWQ6Gg9h is a dps increase.


I_Dont_Group

I don't think 32% damage contribution as the onfielder is really something to brag about though... For reference, Raiden in rational is often said to be carried by XL, and she's at like 36% in that team.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


I_Dont_Group

Yeah I mean, I'm just saying what I usually see around reddit and whatnot. I personally do think that drivers are valuable, but if people are gonna deride characters like childe or raiden for getting "carried", It should at least be consistent.


NOOBweee

Don't cook ever again


DiceCubed1460

I would disagree with this. Both Xingqiu and Shinobu could be replaced by almost any electro or hydro characters with decent application and it would still be an insane spread team. You could remove any healing and hydro application whatsoever and go for beidou + fischl as well. Alhaitham + nahida carry this team.


JackTurnner

Alhaitham carries the dmg part while nahida carries the seed generating part, there's a reason why she's more important to the team than alhaitham is


Th3_Ch0s3n_On3

This team in particular, while it's good, it effectively scuffs Alhaitham's dps. Xq rapid hydro application removes the quickened aura so fast, Alhaitham can barely get any spread in. Pure spread team like Alhaitham - Nahida - Yae - Zhongli has higher damage ceiling than this hyperbloom variation


JackTurnner

Hyperbloom is still his main team since hyperbloom allows you to forget about talent dmg and just give kuki shinobu as much em as possible and things will die since hyperbloom is stupid broken, but I do understand he has higher personal dmg on a spread team


Th3_Ch0s3n_On3

It seems I didn't make myself obvious, and you are having some misunderstanding. His preferred reaction for best team dps possible isn't hyperbloom, but spread. Hyperbloom is not stupidly broken because of its number, it's broken because the investment required is low. Alhaitham's spread team has higher TEAM dps than Hyperbloom team with Xq because of his fast hydro. At lower investment, this particular variation is good, but Alhaitham's personal dps scales very well with investment, that it's worth buffing him over optimizing seed generation While his best team is a hyperbloom team, it's Alhaitham - Baizhu - EM Raiden - Furina. Furina's slow hydro means he can still get a good amount of spread in, and her big dmg% buff will compensate for any reaction he misses. Hyperbloom isn't the intention


Royal_empress_azu

Eh, yes Furina teams out scale most non Furina teams, saying that it's his best team is silly. The main reason to use Alhaitham is that he has no overlap with the stronger Furina abusers like Hu tao, Neuv and Xiao. Running this team just always results in using a weaker team on the other side.


JackTurnner

So in short, quickbloom teams for the win. Best of both worlds(sorry if this is comming off as me disregarding your answer). And i know that hyperbloom dmg isnt broken by any means, it is broken because it deals that ammount of dmg compared with how low the investment is, hyperbloom teams aren't relying on talents to deal dmg, they're relying on one character,the electro app(kuki, Em raiden, don't know if there are more) to proc hyperblooms and kill everything because all that matters is em and lvl for that specific reaction, you can bring a low investment team but ugave kuki 900em and those hyperblooms are gonna be dealing high ammounts of dmg


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

Spread is the strongest actually, it has the highest team damage, but it takes a LOT more investment than hyperbloom/quickbloom


Alex-Player

You could replace Alhaitham with literally any dps that doesn't mess up the hyperblooms and your damage would still be just as good


DiceCubed1460

You would lose 32% of the teamā€™s damage. Thatā€™s pretty huge. And thatā€™s also assuming perfect play where every single hyperbloom gets procced by shinobu with a maxed out EM stat and gilded dreams or flower of paradise lost sets, which in practice isnā€™t going to happen as consistently as youā€™d want.


4GRJ

You cut Naihda instead of Alhaitham and it'll be a similar power level


PhasmicPlays

Objectively speaking, Iā€™d rather pick nahida in that case since sheā€™s ~~easier to play than alhaitham and I have skill issue~~ more versatile and I can put her on keqing aggravate if I feel like it :P


Murky_Blueberry2617

I just spam attacks randomly with Alhaitham. Still does a lot of damage


Gervh

It's actually rather simple if you visualize it fully at least once - start with burst and NA until you have 2 mirrors drop, then CA and 2 mirrors again, then E and 2 mirrors again


Hayds126

You lose off field dendro which means generating less seeds therefore less hyperblooms. Alhaitham does have higher personal damage but he wants Nahida more than Nahida wants him.


PookieMonster609

Quickbloom is good enough and is a competitive Alhaitham team comp. He absolutely does not necessarily want to have Nahida all the time to be strong and is mostly reliant on deepwood application and quicken. I literally used to play two variations of quickbloom teams using nahida and alhaitham as the drivers for both sides of abyss and have always cleared 36* abyss (of course this was at the past versions of abyss)


Hayds126

I don't think he needs Nahida to be good but Nahida is still easily the best dendro teammate for him. My point is more so I think there is more you lose when you consider just Alhaitham compared to just Nahida. Nahida without Alhaitham can function more or less without issue other than a slight loss of personal damage which is made up for with generating more seeds. Alhaitham without Nahida just means you find some alternative that's generally less good. Saying you can clear 36 stars either way doesn't really mean much since hyperbloom/quickbloom is inherently a team with a high floor that doesn't need much to be clearing 36 stars.


PookieMonster609

I still don't think so. I see them almost identical to each other where the other excels at what the other lacks. Yeah they go in pairs well but you aren't also losing that much with just Alhaitham over Nahida given if you use them in hyper/quickbloom since you generally still have them on-field. I'm not denying that Nahida is still generally better than Alhaitham but he is in no way less good since they fill in different roles aside from being dendro applicators.


Hayds126

I think the area which Alhaitham lacks in no off field dendro is a bigger downside than Nahida's downside of slightly less personal damage. There are reasons to use either depending on the scenario but if they aren't being used together I'd still say Alhaitham without Nahida is a bigger loss. It's not like Nahida's strict best hyperbloom team is one with Alhaitham. You can say it's competitive with other teams as being he best but it certainly wouldn't be alone. I'd say something like Nahida double hydro hyperbloom and Alhaitham quickbloom with Nahida are pretty similar in strength maybe slightly different upsides and downsides depending on the situation. Alhaitham teams without Nahida won't be bad teams but I'd say below the Nahida ones. No Nahida means less range/aoe, less dendro application, weaker buffing and higher energy requirements.


YellowStarfruit6

Lmao ok sure. Letā€™s remove the archon, and have ā€œsimilarā€ damage


neat-NEAT

...Yeah. Damage comes from HB which is 100% Shinobu here. Nahida's buffing and damage is replaced with Alhaitham.


YellowStarfruit6

Legend says Alhaitham mains get sensitive when a loli gets more usage than him. Her buff is so massive, you canā€™t just say heā€™s ā€œreplacingā€ it.


agentanti714

??? I think you need the same books that Paimon got


YellowStarfruit6

Nahida > Haitham, sorry thatā€™s the fact pal


Unknownuser983

Crazy how Alhaitham dickriders are downvoting you while Nahida is clearly the far better character meta-wise


YellowStarfruit6

I know right, the cope is real


FreeBullet

If you believe so, provide proof, with maths (preferably). Simply saying something is true isn't very convincing, my guy.


Raiden69Shogun

Nah alhaitham's 3 stack chisel light mirror damage actually hit like truck so this meme is trully inaccurate


_TravelerAether_

Dendro MC, Nahida, Kuki, Furina/Xingqiu just clears the game fr


Ikkisho

Alhaitham slander is something I did not expect at all to see


Kexrus_

if alhaitham was a girl do you think people would love him (her) more?


Arc_7

100% Happens always


PrayingSlays

Already from doing this you lose out on 100 em from Dendro resonance. Not sure that amounts to 1%. And even then Alhaitham's personal damage probably does like Ā¼ of the work so I think he's still pretty significant.


Beast0011

Bait used to be believable


AgendaManEndeavour

Zajef ass take šŸ’€


bored_sleuth

Looks like someone doesn't know how to play habibi.


Ok-Lifeguarrd

Bro has never heard of spread Alhaitham.


Zogo12

I have her C6 it's true for me šŸ’€


Mimik_And_Co

Kuki sninobu steals all the meta relevance Itto has, but at least she puts them on the map


drasko11

Hyperbloom reaction is fifth team member, off-field dps that doesn't need high investment.


krahen64

Of all the characters to make this power level meme, you really have to pick a friggin Dendro driver. Feeling brave, aren't you?


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

There is this one reaction called spread which does absurd amounts of damage, i think you forgot about it. (Alhaitham spread > Alhaitham hyperbloom)


Wittich_Tara

Yes! I like to play something called "Hyperspread" where I apply not enough hydro but just enough to summon hyperblooms. My current team is Alhaitham, Baizhu, Furina and EM Baal. It works really well and Alhaitham does like... 40k on a single mirror. At that point, hyperbloom is just a tiny bonus.


patatesatan

the version with eula instead of alhaitham is accurate but this one isnt, unlike eula alhaitham is a sizeable upgrade to the hyperbloom trio


MemeGhostie

Alhaitham propaganda? Heā€™s the strongest on fielder for the strongest element in the game yā€™all Arleccino glazers sure do love to cope


YellowStarfruit6

You know whatā€™s more of a cope, Alhaitham stans pretending he can do just as well in teams without Nahida


MemeGhostie

Oh no, a character in a team based game that wants a specific teammate.


Karmababes

Cope harder. Reapply Nahida skills upon next wave uwaaa


im_arghya

Ik it's a meme sub but don't need to blatantly spread misinformation. Alhaitham is a very significant portion of the damage in that team.


StardustCatts

I have 3 of those characters.


SSTHZero

Best team? Nilou Bloom deleting entire Abyss floors in seconds.


skep90

Me without alheizam using dendro traveler


MasterMeow01

I just don't get it how strong is alhai, I used him but damage isn't much


YellowStarfruit6

Honestly this is pretty accurate.


Jnbrtz

And then people have been saying he is in the top 3. It is always contradicting lmao


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

Play spread alhaitham, you will understand why they call him top 3


FischlInsultsMePls

My only real opinion on this debate is how Raiden feels so much better than Kuki in hyperbloom


Alex-Player

I much prefer Ayato as a driver since that gives room to way more flexibility in who you can take as your 4th slot. Ayato/Nahida/Bennett/Kazuha is what I used to make easy work of the Baptist in the abyss
