Strengths
- Artistic Ingenuity deals AoE Dendro DMG around Kaveh and detonates any Dendro Cores within the radius.
- Painted Dome unleashes Mehrak's energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to all.
- Gives Support coverage that shows up in both Abyss and Theater when built.
- Posts A-tier Spiral Abyss and A in Imaginary Theater on our content ratings strip.
Weaknesses
- Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
- Constellation breakpoints matter more than the C0 kit advertises.
Talent Priority
Start Kaveh's talent materials on Elemental Burst; it's what you actually press every rotation.
Level Kaveh's Normal Attack after the priority talent; it smooths rotations and secondary damage.
Kaveh's Elemental Skill can sit low; it barely moves clear times versus their other talents.
Substat Priority
Cast Skill then Burst each rotation.
Follow the recommended rotation for optimal Kaveh performance.

Team Compositions
Kaveh
Main DPS
Nilou
Support
Lauma
Support
Xingqiu
Sustain
With the recent addition of Lauma, Kaveh's teams with Lauma perform significantly better than other options.
Kaveh acts as the on-field driver, using his Burst to infuse attacks with Dendro and instantly rupture Nilou’s Bountiful Cores.
Nilou converts standard Bloom cores into high-impact Bountiful Cores, which Kaveh can safely rupture due to his self-healing mechanic.
Lauma provides the necessary off-field application and utility to maintain consistent reaction uptime in this Bloom-focused composition.
Xingqiu contributes significant off-field Hydro application and DMG reduction, helping Kaveh stay healthy while triggering Blooms.
Talents & Constellations
Talents
Kaveh performs a sequence of Claymore-based Normal Attacks.
Deals AoE Dendro DMG around Kaveh and detonates any Dendro Cores within the radius.
Completely unleashes Mehrak's energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to all opponents within it, causing all Dendro Cores in its AoE to immediately burst, 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 your own party members through Bloom and Lunar-Bloom reactions will deal additional DMG when they burst. · Increases Kaveh's resistance to interruption. These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field. "Every building style includes the architect's unique worldview, and from this angle, one can say that the buildings themselves are coalescences of human memories."

Alternatives to Kaveh
Not sure Kaveh is right for you? Compare against other characters to find your best pull.
Where Baizhu goes hard is Universal Diagnosis: it unleashes a Dendro spirit, attacking nearby enemies with Dendro damage. Different job than Kaveh's Support slot — compare teams before swapping.
Kirara answers with Meow-teor Kick (deals AoE Dendro DMG and creates a Shield scaling with HP which stacks with previous shields). Different job than Kaveh's Support slot — compare teams before swapping.
“Explosive Puppet” drops a taunt construct that also chips AoE damage — Pyro reactions instead of Kaveh’s Dendro kit.
Diona leans on Icy Paws, which fires an Icy Paw that deals Cryo DMG to opponents and forms a shield on hit. Pick Diona when you want Shield Support duty instead of Kaveh's Support pattern.
