Alhaitham, the most awaited character in Genshin Impact, has finally been released into the game with the launch of the 3.4 version. Alhaitham is a new 5-Star Dendro character who is a member of the Haravatat of the Sumeru Akademiya. Similar to other Genshin Impact characters, players need to unlock Alhaitham before adding him to their party. With that said, here’s an essential Genshin Impact guide to obtaining Alhaitham.
Unlocking Alhaitham in Genshin Impact
The only way to unlock Alhaitham in Genshin Impact 3.4 version is by pulling the character’s banner during the Caution in Confidence event wish. The Dendro character, Alhaitham, will receive a huge drop rate boost during this event. This wish event ends on Feb. 7 so make sure you unlock the character on time. After that, Alhaitham will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation” in the next Genshin Impact version.
If you weren’t aware, you would need to spend an in-game currency called Fate in the game’s wish menu to unlock the Alhaitham. Moreover, you will get a random character as the gacha pull system is similar to a lucky draw. As a result, you’ll need to reroll several times in order to obtain it.
