With Genshin Impact 3.3 finally out, it is about time for 3.4's leaks to come out from the beta. While MiHoYo is clamping down on leakers, they can't possibly catch them all - some leaks for Alhaitham's upcoming release in 3.4 is available at last.
In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase everything available so far about Alhaitham, including his expected release date, skill and burst.
1. Alhaitham in-game splash art
A blurry version of Alhaitham's Splash art has been leaked. In the image, we can see him drawing his sword with a wave of Dendro particles spawning around him. As Splash art is usually a showcase of a character's ability (with Keqing having clones, Collei having the summon...etc), it hints that Alhaitham will also summon some kind of Dendro area or construct.

Alhaitham Elemental Burst
Alhaitham Kit Info:
Q: Alhaitham unleashes some type of "fog", upon activating the burst The "Forlorn Lotus"'s ATK gets buffed (?) and gets also "Elemental Durability"

Alhaitham's Elemental Burst releases some kind of Dendro fog onto the battlefield. It synergizes with his Forlorn Lotus ability, giving both the construct and Alhaitham bonus damage. Additionally, the Lotus also gains some more durability... however, it is unknown if the construct is a turret (like Yae Miko) or a Taunt (like Itto's Ushi).
Overall, based on his abilities, it is very likely that Alhaitham will be the first Dendro DPS who does not rely on reactions, as all his skills benefit himself and not the team. This would be a breath of fresh air, as all Dendro characters released so far have been revolving around Dendro reactions. He should still benefit from the spread reaction.
