Al-Haitham is a leaked upcoming character in Genshin Impact’s much-awaited Sumeru Region which is coming in Update 3.0. His model has garnered a lot of positive interest in his character due to his similarity with Honkai Impact 3rd’s “Su”. Speculations and theories aside one can naturally see he’s very handsome.
Everything We Know So Far About Genshin Impact’s Al-Haitham
He will most likely be a 5-star Dendro unit and his weapon type is likely to be a sword. Leakers say he’ll play a major role in Sumeru’s Archon storyline due to his deep roots in Sumeru’s history. It is also claimed that his role in the storyline will be similar to that of Yae Miko as he’ll likely be the servant of the Dendro Archon Kusanali.
Similar to Yae Miko, he’ll probably not be released as a playable character in the early Sumeru updates and will come a bit later down the line as Yae did. Unlike Yae Miko’s smug and foxy nature, however, Al-Haitham’s model suggests that he’s a rather serious, responsible, and dependable archetype.
With Dendro reactions scheduled to be added in the Sumeru update and considering how Baal or Ei and Yae Miko have strong synergizing Electro kits, we can expect the same to be true of Kusanali and Al-Haitham. His Dendro vision on his left shoulder also gives us an idea of what visions will look like in the Sumeru region.
Fans are already saving up on their Primogems for the upcoming Sumeru region to pull for their first Dendro characters. Those with grit will be patient enough to even wait for Kusanali and Al-Haitham. As of now, his fascinating model has sparked plenty fanarts in the community already. There has been another model leak prior to this one which shows him in a slightly different design too but of course, this current model is the one fans have fallen in love with.
