How to Play Kaveh

Last updated:

Overview

Kaveh's burst makes him immune to Burgeon self-damage and causes Dendro Core explosions to deal increased AoE Dendro damage. His skill deals AoE Dendro and increases normal attack AoE. Build EM (500+) for Bloom reaction damage-he's an on-field driver who detonates cores created by Nahida and Xingqiu.

How to Play

Apply Hydro and Dendro with Nahida and Xingqiu, then Kaveh burst → skill → normal attack combo to detonate cores. Stay on-field during burst duration-Kaveh wants extended field time while cores spawn. Pair with Baizhu or Kokomi for healing from Burgeon self-damage.

Optimal Rotation

Nahida Skill → Xingqiu Skill/Burst → Baizhu Skill/Burst → Kaveh Burst → Kaveh Skill → Kaveh NA combo until burst ends → refresh Hydro/Dendro → repeat. Generate cores before Kaveh's on-field window.

F2P Options

Makhaira Aquamarine is craftable and BiS for Bloom. Gilded Dreams 4pc with EM sands. C0 Kaveh with Nahida, Xingqiu, and Yaoyao is a viable F2P Burgeon team.

Common Mistakes

Running Kaveh without Hydro/Dendro core generators-he needs Nahida and Xingqiu. Building CRIT over EM-Bloom reactions scale with EM. Detonating cores without burst active-burst grants immunity and AoE bonus. Running without healer-Burgeon damages your active character.
