Character Demo - "Alhaitham: Think Before You Act" REACTION | Genshin Impact

[@BranOnline]

Scuffed 4am recording? Check Sleep schedule ruined for another Character Demo? Check Still simping for Dehya? Check

[@Cyno_General_mahamatra]

Flame mane is real ❤️

[@whistlegirl5726]

Oh, speaking of Dehya, I just remembered! Remember the Sumeru anime teaser, where we first saw that Dehya uses a claymore (with same aesthetics as Cyno's spear)? This is probably gonna be her signature, so you might consider saving for that, too.

[@em1mo0n]

I love it when cyno and Tighnari just look at eachother and say "not really" at the same time lmao Edit: the likes how? Tysm

[@6918vongola]

All the interactions are so precious! I'm super glad that they start to make actual scenes rather than just the voicelines.

[@SIRHOPP3R]

Yes samee!

[@adriepram]

Looks like just 4 guys hanging out, but from a normal person's perspective that table is scary 🤣 You got General Mahamatra, a Scribe turned Acting Grand Sage, the boss of Forest Ranger, and well, a prestigious architect. 😂

[@seraphywang4638]

Not even just prestigious. He’s the architect of the famous Palace of Alcazarzeray. Def a scary table indeed

[@banji7612]

It's literally putting the biggest names in sumeru in one table. And all of them were very famous students back when they studied especially Tighnari

[@mintpudding7908]

@@seraphywang4638 but then the said castle owner scam him till Kaveh had to stay with Haitam 😂

All of them hanging out playing cards and rambling is “dudes being bros” peak behaviour and I love it so much!

[@sundalosketch4769]

The gossip was real

[@animeboys_simp8453]

You forgot something Tighnari: *chokes cyno*

[@0xVENx0]

i love seeing the boys just hanging out together on game night lol wish to see more of it

[@roastinginpurgatory1400]

YOUR SPEED BRAN, YOU NYOOMED AS FAST AS QIQI COMING IN TO RUIN OUR 50/50s! Also, god the editing on this demo is amazing, the transitions are flawless and really, it's great to see the Sumeru boys hanging out together like this, the Sumeru cast is really my favourite squad, really well built and coming together for a singular goal despite their differences. Here's hoping for a cameo from Dunyazard, Nilou, the Eremite squad or Candace in Dehya's

[@BranOnline]

Idk I think my one take Jake 0 editing was actually better

[@roastinginpurgatory1400]

@@BranOnline Truly, the most based editing possible

[@kuyarence]

Don't forget Layla, Faruzan, Collei, and Dori cameos too. Hoping for more screentime of all of them esp. Collei. As for Nahida, she already stole the spotlight for the longest time but hoping for more of hers too.

[@MrL961]

The moment he appear back in 3.0 , i already set my goal to pull him and potentially his weapon.

[@sophialopez128]

I'm a sucker for character interactions!!! I loved this demo! Also, I'm definitely gonna pull on him cuz I'm more of a husbando player.

[@Nahidamain-pr9fx]

I AM EARLY! Also, they never failed to impress us with the editing, music and not only that. They even surprised us with their interaction! Happy wishing everyone!🎉🎉🎉

[@BranOnline]

TRUE

[@saunatonttu93]

I am definitely going to pull for him as he's become one of my favorite characters in the game. His writing is 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 And I love how this demo just starts with Kaveh, Cyno and Tighnari basically gossiping about him lmao

[@sylvette.astoria]

A boys night out is the BEST THING I've seen in a demo so far and I LIVE for the interactions!

[@nereverie]

This is by far my favorite demo. I didn't think some simple, chill character interactions could make me that happy xD

[@tsyganko]

yes yes yes I am absolutely pulling for him (fingers crossed!!) He is designed well, so cool, animations are sick, *and* he is dendro (dendro units are scarce rn). Tighnari is the only other dendro dps right now and I would love to add a second one to my roster

[@Doro44c]

BARK BARK

[@-Pakman-]

Damn they really stepping up their marketing game recently and I’m all for it

[@cyanPeak]

Definitely pulling for him. I just love him so much, and the cut scenes in the demo were fun to watch. Just the boys hanging out lol.

[@mllewhimsy1161]

I hope by the time Kaveh gets his demo, Al Haitham also makes an appearance. Feels like it would just be right since they're husband and wife

[@CuteC3]

Thanks for uploading your reaction! 100% pulling for this mans.

[@TheGwilwileth]

Yessssss definitely pulling for Alhaitham.

[@swiftyfan]

definitely pulling for him. love the character, love the aesthetic, love the kit, will have no regrets throwing all my primos at him and not having to wait on a rerun to enjoy and find out more about him

[@myaachoom]

ahhhh I went on a month long genshin break to play other games and finally came back today. Got my Alhaitham and his weapon early. So wishing yall successful pulls this patch!! :D

[@mickeyo5342]

I have been saving and SIMPING since he was first teased in the Sumeru release trailer and have been diligently saving and pre-farming for him. I have about 220 pulls, on 50/50. 16million mora saved to 90 and triple crown him. HAITHAM NATION RISE UP

[@JJKMagic]

Definitely gonna pull! I haven't pulled in 6 months now, so there's 400 pulls waiting just for him

[@carmine8325]

2:18 I read someone pointing out on the demo's comment section that this glass things was a reference to the real life person inspiration of Alhaitham, his name was Ibn al-Haytham, known as the father of modern optics. al-Haytham at some point in his life pretend to be a crazy man too for avoiding punishments, reminds you of a certain scene on the Archon Quest don't you?

[@LaplaceBacklogs]

Besides Nahida (obviously because she’s the Archon), no other character from Sumeru has caught my eye more than Al Haitham. Dehya, Candace, Cyno, Nilou, etc. I didn’t really care much for every other playable character from Sumeru aside from Al Haitham. So I’ll be rolling for him and his weapon for sure. Good luck on your rolls in a few hours everyone!

[@Takaneenomoto07]

Bro his demo theme gives me basshunter and eurodance flashbacks. And I'm a husbando collector what can i say. Im going for alhaitham for sure.

[@indrasufriadi620]

They hang out together Omg that so cute

[@almostnearlynormal]

1:01 that stare still gives me chills. The way I'm actually convinced to pull him bc of this demo hahaha I love every part of this, the music, the animation, the interaction between the boys, all of them are golden.

[@kdyall26]

I will be pulling for Al on his first rerun. I am a Husbando/adopted son collector so i dont care if he is mid or broken. My only hope is that Kaveh is a support for everyone on the table except Al...making the situation more hilarious The Shogun/ Ayato banner was too much for me Now i have C2 Raiden, C2 Ayato and my 1st copy of Englufing Lightning (I wanted Haran but this is still a win)

[@littlemisspanda3612]

I'm a billion percent pulling for my man right there

[@Bongaboi151]

All rise for the national anthem...of Genius Invokation TCG.

[@tjhaihendra5637]

Love his demo, definitely gonna pull for him!

[@Tyahdc447]

I’m most definitely getting him and dehya next hopefully I need another Dendro character besides tighnari I had missed nahida so Al haitam is my hope 😭

[@armadhillazara9209]

the demo just erased my doubts on pulling for him. Definitely going to pull because he looks cool asf

[@poppythecat454]

It was so unexpected. I loved the 4 boys together, the music, the entire execution... just perfection. I don't care about the "dendro kequing" joke, I love this caracter, so I will be pulling

[@elfishirael7170]

The demo was good..but I'm gonna pull for Xiao

[@doktahaiai6585]

I'm very conflicted if I wanted to pull for Haitham now that dehya is drip marketed 😅 Definitely looking forward on how he plays in certain team comps.

[@ZephyrBluePaddy]

So they double date the TCG? Is Candace babysitting Collei? Come now Hoyo, I don't want Alhaitham, but that Demo makes me want Alhaitham - but you put Dehya up for 3.5 and-and..... dear lord my poor sanity.

[@wer-hat-es-gedacht]

Thank you! Candace Babysitting Collei will now be worked in in my ff XD also YES it's a Double Date ✨

[@DianitaSan05]

Of course I’ll pull for him. My daddy dendro. I have the same feeling from him as much as you with Dehya

[@Xendrick]

I've reached a point in Genshin where I didn't really care if I could get a character or not ever since I got Yelan; there isn't much reason to expand since I have everything I need to tackle the Abyss and events HOWEVER that just means I've transcended the gacha and just pull whatever I want without feeling bad over not getting a character (unless it's someone I REALLY like) The only thing that'll make me feel bad is when one phase has two characters I really want for myself but I'd have to choose who to pull for that phase

[@miketaya8128]

Same for me but with kazuha, saved 160 wishes for this guy and after i got him c2 never really cared about what other character i got

[@squidopedia_]

The saving for Dehya comment did not age very well

[@-Theo-]

I’m definitely pulling him! He’s the character Genshin has ever made imo.

nice trailer Alhaitam BUT still using my guaranteed pull for Dehya all hail the Dessert Lioness

[@krasusable]

Here comes Dendro Daddy! Good luck to everyone pulling him!

[@Yurichochi]

I’ll pull for him because I like collecting daddies and he’s hot af. Claiming him as my husbando🤌🏻. I don’t mind if he’s weak or not.

[@puck9222]

Clearly my favorite thing in this demo is simply the interaction between sumeru characters I love

[@albedo4283]

I knew I was gonna pull for him ever since I saw leaks lol- he's just so cool! And his play style seems similar to keqings who I main and he's likely to be the premier dendro dps so I for one and hyped to being pulling him

[@reireiregret]

i love how bonk was in offlinechat just waiting for this.... AS ALWAYS KEKW

[@gaminggenius_1]

Pog demo really loved the reaction but will not be spending to pull for him, will pull with free wishes that's all i didn't like his kit that much tbh. And SLEEP!! now if ya haven't already bran

[@Mrs.sangonomiya]

Definitely gonna pull for him 💕 he’s been my must-pull character from Sumeru ever since we met him in the story, and even if his kit is better or worse than everyone expects, I’ll just be happy running around the desert with him ✨✨

[@RenaFair]

Ohoho I'm definitely pulling for him, simply because I resonate with him on a spiritual level; Noise-canceling headphones while walking? Check. Not working overtime? Check. Reading as a hobby? Check. No fucks given? Hard to find? Stubborn as a mule? Check, check, and check. Also, those abs are basically calling for me, and I need a proper Dendro dps. I'M SALIVATING

[@surivissena39]

I'm here for the dendro husbanto, so I'm pulling for him anyway. But damn the demo was so good😭😭. I don't expect them all to be here and to gossip about him to top it all😹

[@wrioculus]

his demo only made me wanna save and wait for kaveh more! maybe someday i’ll get alhaitham, but for now it sounds stressful to prefarm for him and i’m on 50/50, so i’m just gonna wait

[@nadejjj2583]

Definitely pulling for him just cause he's cool (and cause I nees another dendro chatacter)

[@princessvoid6591]

Oh you bet I'm getting this handsome dendro daddy that's causing bloom reactions in my... uhm ehem. Anyways, Abshaitham, I'm coming for you!!!

[@renectonr.6723]

As much as I want him, I save for Dehya, but I do a 10 Pull (betwen 0 and 9 Pitty right now) and maybe i have lantern right luck and get him, otherwise i go full on him when he gets his rerun.

[@oppaanja]

I'll pull for him because he's hot. The rest don't matter 😂

[@haku9713]

He is the first character I bought the 100€ top up for. I just love his character so so much and the "knowledge over pover" vibes💚 annnd on top of that I can finally expand my collection as a certified husbando collector :3

[@JaydenHorn1406]

This was one of my Favourite Demo's. And it makes me want to pull for Alhaitham as well :)

[@loop1827]

Definitely pulling for him! I absolutely love his combat and his AA combo movements, I'm looking forward to him joining the party!

[@itsdymazk]

Hoyoverse is doing great by collaborating some/All Sumeru Characters. Thats why i love every bits of Sumeru Archon and Story Quest

[@anny43]

I was waiting for him since the first time I saw him, and tomorrow he will come. I'm really happy

[@flallana18]

If I didn’t need hu tao so I could have a powerful pyro character, I’d definitely pull for him

[@kinokochouchou]

this demo is so refreshing. love The Boys just hanging out in a cafe, playing cards, drinking wine. gossiping

[@juliechoi4053]

I hope Hoyo does this "casual interaction between characters" in other character demos too... Pleasee!!

[@clinsen8576]

One of the best demos of all time despite me not wanting to pull for him, W for the mains

[@ayashi6931]

I collect the boys and archons so no questions asked.

[@aleynawastaken]

With the trance music, Alhaitham’s cheesy “I don’t fight I think" line, this feels like an old 2000s anime with a mysterious bishounen 😭✨💕

[@strabeex-alt940]

I was actually starting to save up for Fontaine characters but then this reminded me how cool Haitham is :')) I'm gonna have a hard time

[@huferdinand3523]

I pulled for him and been playing him since, here is my understanding of him: He and Keqing are an absolute look-alike, but definitely not feel-alike. It’s like wielding two swords with identical looks but with absolutely different balance. The details I need to consider while using him is way more than using Keqing and I found it so fun to play with. The rotation differs based on the teams you put him in and if you pull for C6, that’s a mechanism for 5heads for sure. In a word, feels not like Keqing and fun to play with

[@huferdinand3523]

One more thing, I highly recommend him as a Dendro dps, his mechanism is the opposite of Nahida’s, therefore, you don’t want them on the same team, which means that you can have two different strong Dendro teams with different focuses. The Dendro combat system is now starting to be completed.

[@pixelpudding3914]

“I don’t need to fight, I only need to think” was badass af

[@mantou2593]

alhaitham is one of my absolute fave genshin characters!!! top 5 for me, absolutely adore him and i'm so excited to get him, i have him guaranteed :D his personality is one of my favourites he's so cute and loveable to me

[@raypalmer5125]

gonna wait for Yelan and Dehya but maybe i'll pull for him on his rerun

[@yoeuge86]

I'm 100% gonna pull for him, no doubt, I LOVE HIM, he's gonna be my main dendro dps, too cool for me to skip xD

[@katerinak96]

Ohhh, I am going to pull for alhaitham. This demo just solidified the decision for me.

[@BranOnline]

It's a banger for sure

[@ItzaMystri]

I'll be going for Dehya! But I enjoyed the demo. Love seeing the guys get together and play card games haha. And the music is really good. Sumeru's demos have had the best music!

[@sfericwaves]

Top tier husbando! Still not pulling for him, I don't want another hyper carry :/ So many selfish DPSs on Sumeru, it became difficult to use all of my main DPSs

[@serelylyhikari9771]

I didn’t even know the demo was out but immediately when I saw your video notification I knew I had to go watch it and- Im really tempted to pull for him. XD Nah but like, Cyno, Tighnari, and Kaveh interactions? Dude I didn’t not expect THAT but much appreciated hoyo. GIVE ME MORE PLEASE.

[@zuhoormubarak1491]

I really love how they're all hanging out together, that's something new to see in a demo, and definitely pulling him 👌

[@godhimself7708]

Cyno saying “Of course not!” was the best reaction I could’ve asked for lmao.

[@gizem7082]

i will wait for hu tao tho i really liked his demo

[@Mr.incognito1131]

See I wasn’t going to pull… but after watching this.

[@nanathedelta8561]

As a husbando collector and a meta player. I’m definitely going to pull for him. you know.. I’m a sucker for “socially awkward” stoic introvert guy. Alhaitham being one of these type is an icing on the cake. it is no concidence that he shares the same JP Seiyuu with Goblin Slayer. they knew what they were doing. they tried to create their own Goblin Slayer but without goblin slaying. they even share the same personality 😍 Meta wise, he’s really strong. It’s just that a lot of people underestimate him, saying he’s dendro Keqing. without realizing that Keqing is actually a good character now. beside, being a dendro character is already meta. the floor of dendro archetype is so high to the point where you can easily clear abyss with tiny investment. Not gonna lie though, this demo video is one of my favorite demo of all time. banger music, Kaveh being that one gossip girl, TCG night hangout and Tighnari/Cyno being best buddy. 🤣

[@kenluxe]

THIS DEMO WAS SO DIFFERENT AND IM HERE FOR IT

[@RandomGirl119]

I'm 100% pulling for Alhaitham. I've wanted him since I first laid eyes on him in that one Sumeru teaser video, and I have enough to go double pity if need be. I even have his artifacts prefarmed and a weapon ready for him.

[@DariaVikman]

Also being already convinced I pull for Alhaitham, what this teaser did to me is strengthen my desire to pull for Kaveh when he’s out 😂

[@angelvang8460]

Damn can’t believe they put the popular Sumeru ship all together Cynonari Haikaveh, it’s a double date… 😳🫣Wish ya luck on the banners. This was such a fun amazing demo trailer ❤

[@RaventheLemon13]

THIA DEMO WAS SO GOOD THOOO, i like the direction they went with it id love to see more like this

[@ace_wildcard2607]

I’m pulling for him and his weapon

[@RTheStoryteller7]

For me, everything about Alhaitham is perfect... *except* for his gameplay, which is a huge bummer for me. I might just gonna pull for him in a re-run when there's nothing to loose for me

[@veronicamanes1166]

This is the first time we have a trailer told by a random 4* character isn't it? Usually it's Dain or Alice telling them. I really like this, it makes us dive in a more comfortable situation among friends, it feels homey and casual (I love this vibe), and at the same time it feels fitting for Alhaitham himself! He's just a dude who's a massive nerd and thinker, a student who happens to have a vision. I loved it

[@crystalgriffith5863]

I’m going pull for him but I doubt I’ll win since I won the 50/50 two times in a row and that’s a first for me 😅

[@hex8113]

Bro the more I watch his demo, the harder it gets to stop myself from pulling on him 😭💔

[@EritoKaio]

god damn it bonk

[@they4852]

He kinda the stronger dps ever

[@McNugge.]

..... So nobodys talking about how he: -Kicked his sword -Has a semi dual sword stance -Actually uses a shuriken in one of his attacks? Might not be the strongest but I honestly don't care that he isn't an SSS tier meta character, he seems viable enough. Finally a man that is lowkey buff. Aside from Itto🥳

[@pt2ql2gd3e]

I love his character sm both his appearance and his personality and role in the story I'm actually out of primos for now but would for sure try to get him this time or the next rerun

[@jessicabowman7169]
