Kaveh build guide · GenGuru: Your guru for Genshin Impact

Overview

Bloom driver
Dendro Core detonator

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro claymore user made for Bloom teams. His Elemental Skill sends out a scan that deals Dendro damage around him and bursts every Dendro Core inside it at once. His Elemental Burst infuses his attacks with Dendro, widens them, and makes every Dendro Core your party creates through Bloom or Lunar-Bloom deal extra damage when it bursts. He also heals himself when Dendro Core damage hits him.

Gear him for Elemental Mastery, with some Energy Recharge so his burst is ready each rotation. He needs a strong Hydro partner to create Dendro Cores, and he works with Lauma for Lunar-Bloom as well as in classic Bloom teams.

Lauma turns Bloom into Lunar-Bloom and buffs it, Yelan and Kokomi supply Hydro, and Kokomi also heals.
Budget Lunar-Bloom

- Lauma
- Aino

A cheaper version where Xingqiu provides the Hydro while Kaveh triggers the reactions and bursts the cores.
Classic Bloom
- Kaveh
- Nahida
- Xingqiu
- Sangonomiya Kokomi
Nahida adds Dendro and Elemental Mastery, while Xingqiu and Kokomi keep enemies wet so cores form steadily.

Tips

Use his burst first. His Dendro attacks then create Dendro Cores on wet enemies, and his skill bursts them on demand.
Dendro Core explosions can hit your own party. His passive heals him when they hit him, and Elemental Mastery makes that heal larger.
Save his skill for moments when several cores are on the field so one cast bursts all of them.
Leaving the field ends his burst, so stay on him for the whole duration.

Normal Attack Schematic Setup

Normal Attack Uses Mehrak to perform up to 4 consecutive attacks. Charged Attack Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
