Here are the best artifact sets in the Genshin Impact 3.4 update that Alhaitham can use:

  • Deepwood Memories
  • Gilded Dreams
  • Emblem of the Severed Fates

Deepwood Memories is practically Alhaitham's best-in-slot artifact set in Genshin Impact. Players should definitely use it on him if the party does not have another member that can wield this set to proc the set's bonus effects.

As a Spread DPS, Alhaitham will spend a lot of time on the field, dealing most of the damage to opponents. Hence, players are advised to equip the four-piece Deepwood set on some other support unit in the party if it has one.

If someone in Alhaitham's party already has Deepwood Memories equipped, then he is better off with the Gilded Dreams set. It is a solid choice for the character in this scenario. Its set-bonus effect provides tons of Elemental Mastery to entities wielding the artifact.

As a Dendro character whose damage is also based on his Elemental Mastery, this passive will definitely help increase Alhaitham's personal damage. Players can also opt for two-piece set combos if they already have items with strong sub-stats.

Lastly, the two-piece Emblem of Severed Fate is a great alternative to use when Genshin Impact players want to cast Alhaitham's burst in every rotation.
