Best Kaveh Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro character who hails from the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything you need to know about his recommended Artifacts and weapons.

Kaveh served as the architect of the Palace of Alcazarzaray in addition to studying the Kshahrewar Darshan of the Sumeru Akademiya. After the palace’s construction, Kaveh’s financial situation caused him to move in with Alhaitham.

In terms of combat, Kaveh really shines in teams focused on the Bloom Elemental Reaction but has a massive energy requirement. This particularly matters because Kaveh can’t damage enemies much with his Normal and Charged Attacks.

Kaveh abilities in Genshin Impact

HoYoverse

Normal Attack: Torque Settings

• 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.

Elemental Skill: Artistic Ingenuity

Uses Mehrak’s mapping ability for offensive purposes, initiating a radial scan that deals AoE Dendro DMG. It will also scan all Dendro Cores in its AoE and cause them to immediately rupture.

Elemental Burst: Painted Dome

Completely unleashes Mehrak’s energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to all opponents within it and granting Kaveh the following enhanced combat abilities for a specific duration:

• Increases Kaveh’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack AoE, and converts his attack DMG to Dendro DMG that cannot be overridden.
• All Dendro Cores created by all party members through Bloom reactions deal additional rupture DMG.
• Increases Kaveh’s resistance to interruption.

These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field.

Best Kaveh Artifacts in Genshin Impact

If you’re running Kaveh as a DPS on a Bloom-focused team, we recommend using the Flower of Paradise Lost set. The 4-piece set bonus increases his Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions by 40%. After the reaction, Kaveh will gain another 25% bonus to the said effect.

If you’re going with the Flower of Paradise Lost artifacts, make sure to have another character in your party with the Deepwood Memories set.

You could also use Deepwood Memories on Kaveh to improve his Dendro DMG and decrease opponents’ Dendro RES by 30% for eight seconds.

Artifact	Set Bonuses
Flower of Paradise Lost	2-piece: Elemental Mastery +80 4-piece: The equipping character’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.
Deepwood Memories	2-piece: Dendro DMG Bonus +15% 4-piece: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets’ Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

Best Kaveh weapons in Genshin Impact

The best-in-slot weapon for Kaveh is the 4-star Mailed Flower. This was previously obtainable after finishing the first Floral Pursuit Challenge during the Windblume’s Breath event. You could also receive Unfading Silky Grace refinement material for this weapon as an event reward.

If you didn’t participate in Windblume’s Breath, you could run the 4-star Claymore Makhaira Aquamarine. This weapon will cause Kaveh to gain 24% of his Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK for 12 seconds, which can trigger every 10 seconds.

Lastly, Rainslasher can also be a great choice for Kaveh to increase DMG against enemies affected by Hydro or Electro by 20%.

Best Kaveh team comp in Genshin Impact

HoYoverse

We highly recommend running Kaveh alongside Nilou on a team focused on the Bloom Elemental Reaction. The remaining characters can be a variety of options, but we suggest using Kokomi as the team healer and Nahida as a sub-DPS.

If you haven’t managed to pull Nilou, you could also run other Hydro options like Xingqiu or Ayato to apply Hydro even when they are not on the field.

Alternatively, you could run Kaveh on a Hyperbloom team with Electro units such as Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu. The empty slots could be filled by Dendro characters like Baizhu or Nahida and Hydro options such as Xingqiu or Yelan.
