Here is everything players need to know about the latest Genshin Impact 3.4 beta changes.


Genshin Impact: Alhaitham gets nerfed based on recent 3.4 beta leaks

Reliable leakers have revealed new changes that have been made to Alhaitham's damage multipliers and ascension passive in the Genshin Impact 3.4 beta. Based on the beta leaks, it appears that Alhaitham has been massively nerfed. This came as a shock to all the fans who were saving Primogems to summon him.

Following the recent changes, the majority of the community feels that this will greatly affect his sales, and some even speculate that HoYoverse does not like male DPS units.

The beta has made considerable changes to Alhaitham's kit at Talent level 10:

  • Charged ATK
  • Rush Attack DMG
  • Elemental Burst single instance DMG

All three, his charged attack, Elemental Skill "Rush Attack DMG", and Elemental Burst's first instance DMG, have been reduced. At talent level 10, Genshin Impact beta has reduced his Charged attack damage from 140% to 112%.

The next nerf has been applied to his Elemental Skill, where he can aim for a location and rapidly teleport there, dealing "Rush Attack" damage to nearby enemies. The Elemental Mastery damage multiplier for his Rush attack damage has also been reduced from 705.6% to 282.2% EM.

Lastly, Alhaitham also received nerfs for his Elemental Burst damage in Genshin Impact beta. When he casts his burst at talent level 10, he will deal a single instance DMG of 218% ATK + 437.76% Elemental Mastery. The new beta leak also nerfs the EM multiplier from 437.76% to 175.1%


Additional nerfs applied to Alhaitham's passive in 3.4 beta

Recent beta leaks have also revealed changes made to Alhaitham's ascension passive as well. The ascension passive in question is called the Mysteries Laid Bare. Based on the old description, the passive will increase the damage of Alhaitham's Elemental Skill and Burst by 0.12%, based on each point of his total Elemental Mastery. A maximum of 100% damage increase can be reached for both the abilities.

The new beta changes have nerfed the multipliers here as well. The new description suggests that Elemental Skill and Burst DMG will increase by 0.09% instead of the old 0.12%. In addition, the maximum damage increase has also been reduced from 100% to 90% in Genshin Impact 3.4 beta.
