What element is Kaveh?

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro character from Sumeru who uses a claymore, released in version 3.6.

What stat does Kaveh scale on?

Kaveh's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Kaveh?

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to level Kaveh's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Ingenuity among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Kaveh C1 do?

Sublime Salutations: Within 3s after using Artistic Ingenuity, Kaveh's Dendro RES and Incoming Healing Bonus will be increased by 50% and 25% respectively.

Kaveh build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kaveh's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. The Unforged, "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" and Wolf's Gravestone come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kaveh, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Deepwood Memories on Kaveh, with Celestial Gift and Silken Moon's Serenade behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Skill

Artistic Ingenuity

Mehrak was created through the modification of ancient technology and may have some other functions apart from mapping work...

Painted Dome

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.
