Here is a list of Alhaitham's best weapons in Genshin Impact and a brief explanation of why you should use them:

• Light Of Foliar Incision: His signature weapon with huge CRIT DMG% with an effect that buffs CRIT Rate and damage for Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills.
• Primordial Jade Cutter: Great CRIT Rate sword with a decent effect that buffs the user's HP.
• Mistsplitter Reforged: Good CRIT DMG% and Elemental DMG% bonuses. Its effect is also fine for this character.
• Harbinger of Dawn: F2P-friendly Sword with CRIT DMG% that can buff CRIT Rate% if the user has high HP. This weapon is recommended to use alongside a shielder.
• Sapwood Blade: F2P-friendly Sword, and it's craftable. This character can easily trigger the Dendro-based Elemental Reactions for its effect.
• Iron Sting: F2P-friendly Sword, and it's also craftable. All-around solid effect and stats.

Do note that lower-rarity Swords aren't always worse than their higher-rarity counterparts. While Light of Foliar Incision is undoubtedly the best option, a 3-star Sword like Harbinger of Dawn can still outclass some 4-star or even 5-star options in terms of DPS.

Genshin Impact players have several ways to build Alhaitham. It's worth mentioning that this guide was written with Version 3.4 in mind, so no future swords or artifacts will be reflected here.
