In Genshin Impact, Kaveh is 4 star character, who possesses Dendro's God's Eye and is a masterful two-handed swordsman. In a squad, he can act as the main damage dealer. In this guide, you will learn about his best builds, weapons and artifacts, as well as recommended commands for him.
Note: The Sumerian Architect has not yet been officially released, so the data presented here is based on information received as part of the beta testing. If necessary, we will update the guide when the Achievement: Hero appears in the game.
Key features of Kaveh
How to get Kaveh
In Phase 2 of Update 3.6 (May 3) this ingenious builder will appear in banner, which will allow you to get it with a high probability. Then it will most likely be added to the standard Prayer, which will reduce the chance of it falling out. At the same time, developers often hold events in which they give 4-star heroes for free. If Kaveh is added to such an event, then we will definitely tell about it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Kaveh
Due to his offensive abilities, Kaveh excels in battles, both with strong single opponents and with large enemy groups. Its advantages also include:
- Great option for packs playing through Budding (Hydro + Dendro) and its derivatives, as it helps to strengthen Dendro cores and instantly explode them.
- Has a relatively high base health and defense, which allows him to stay on the battlefield longer. Attack values for a 4-star character look good too.
- It has a high resistance to interrupt attacks and is able to self-heal itself, so the team can do without a healer.
- It is relatively easy to build a build, since the main characteristic for it is Elemental Mastery - grows With You elevation. To achieve the disclosure of its potential, you can even use a 4-star weapon. Constellations are easier to open than legendary heroes, but even without them, Kaveh can perfectly serve as a main damage dealer on the battlefield.
- When using an elemental explosion, Dendro receives an infusion, which greatly simplifies the creation of appropriate reactions. It is suitable not only for creating Dendro cores, but also for undermining them, which somewhat simplifies the selection of characters for Budding and the gameplay.
- Reduces the use of materials when crafting decor items with its passive. This bonus will surely appeal to construction lovers.
However, it was not without its minuses, many of which follow directly from the pros of the hero:
- The hero's abilities are entirely focused on one reaction - Budding, so it will be problematic to use him even for Stimulation, because Kaveh cannot boast of high Dendro damage and attack speed.
- To increase the personal damage of the character without taking into account reactions, it will be necessary to increase the attack power and crits, which will complicate the build.
- Elemental Burst is quite expensive (80 units) and has a long cooldown (20 seconds). The architect may need a good battery or a stat boost Obtaining Energy.
- Compared to 5-star characters, it has low base attack and ability damage multipliers, which again makes it difficult to use as a main-dd when playing from other reactions.
- It can be difficult for beginners to properly balance the team so that Dendro does not block the Hydro element, because in this case there is a possibility that characters with low MS will create cores, which will negatively affect their damage.
Kaveh's abilities
When making a normal attack "Schematic settings" the character makes up to 4 hits with the help of Mehrak, charged - rotates the sword around him, and then performs an additional powerful blow. If it is in the air, then during the attack it falls down, and when it lands, it deals area damage.
Explanation: When an elemental explosion is active, Kaveh will be able to deal fairly noticeable Dendro damage with normal and charged attacks, imposing an appropriate elemental status on enemies. Again, the multipliers are not very high, so playing through Stimulation is not recommended.
In case of using an elemental skill "Creative Mastery" the architect deals damage to Dendro in an area and instantly explodes all cores that are in the area of the skill. Its cooldown time is 6 seconds.
Explanation: Deals medium Dendro damage, so it has not very high attacking potential. Its main feature is the instantaneous explosion of Dendro's ult-enhanced cores to deal massive damage to nearby enemies.
Elemental Burst "Painted dome" Deals damage to Dendro in a large area and immediately activates cores in its area of effect. In addition, it strengthens Kaveh, increasing the range of his normal, charged and falling strikes, as well as transforming all the damage they deal into Dendro.
Among other things, Dendro cores deal increased damage, and the character has increased resistance to interruption. However, all these buffs disappear if the hero leaves the battlefield.
Explanation: It is thanks to the ult that this character can perfectly perform the function of a main-DD. Therefore, during the entire duration of its action (12 seconds), it must be on the battlefield. The Elemental Burst itself does even less damage than the E-shka - its main advantage is to strengthen the Dendro cores.
It is also impossible not to talk about the unique passive talents of Kaveh, which are opened as he is pumped:
- The art of budgeting - allows you to return some of the resources used when crafting decorative items from the categories "courtyard", "landscape" and "buildings".
- Builder's Responsibility - When damaged by any Dendro Cores (Vegetation and Bloom also count), he recovers health equal to 300% of his MS. The effect occurs every 0.5 seconds.
- Master's Quirks - All normal, charged and falling hits of Kaveh hit enemies during the duration of the ult increase his MS by 25 units. This bonus occurs every 0.1 seconds and can stack up to four times.
Constellations of Kaveh
To open them, you need character Serendipity, obtained by dropping duplicate fighters during Prayers, that is, this process is completely random. However, the chance of getting 4-star heroes is much higher than 5-star ones, so you can try to open all the constellations. Although even without them, Kaveh can play his main role quite well.
If you are still aiming to unlock the constellations, then we recommend that you try to unlock C4 and C6, which can significantly increase his ability to deal damage with Dendro cores. The list below lists all the constants:
- Exalted Salutations - after using an elemental skill, increases the hero's resistance to Dendro damage by 50% and healing efficiency by 25% for 3 seconds.
- Elegance of the Royal Ways - Increases the speed of the character's normal attacks by 15% while using the ultimate.
- Offerings of Durr-Untash - Elemental explosion level increases by 3. Maximum level: 15th.
- Apadana's Feast - Damage dealt by Dendro Cores created by Budding caused by Kaveh is increased by 60%.
- Treasures of Bon-Khanak - the level of elemental skill increases by three. Maximum level: 15th.
- Pyridaeza's Dreams - If elemental, charged, and falling strikes hit enemies during an elemental explosion, the character performs an additional attack that deals 61.8% of his ATK damage in an area to Dendro. Plus, all "watermelons" in the radius of her defeat instantly explode. The effect occurs only once every 3 seconds.
How to play Kaveh
First of all, we note that if the architect turns out to be the only Dendro hero in the team, then the first use of his elemental skill simply will not explode anything, so we highly recommend that you take him to support a character of the same element - this will also solve a possible problem with a lack of energy.
Although Kaveh is inferior to Nilou in terms of amplifying the cores and the general mechanics of their detonation, however, unlike her, he can be combined with a large number of elements. That is, no one forbids you to take Electro and Pyro heroes to the squad to create Vegetation and Bloom. Plus, you can use it With You the Twilight Dancer to spawn her unique abundance cores.
Let's add that in the squad for Budding the core, it is Kaveh who should create, and not Hydro characters, who often do not have high MS. It should be remembered that Dendro is stronger than Hydro, so Nahida, for example, can upset the balance by constantly interrupting the Hydro status on opponents. So keep a close eye on this, otherwise the overall damage of the squad will drop.
In addition, using the elemental skill to explode Dendro cores in isolation from the ult is not very effective, since the "watermelons" in this case will not deal increased damage. In general, the rotation for Kaveh will look like this:
- Use the abilities of sub-DD and supports to get buffs and apply elemental statuses to enemies from your pocket.
- Switch to Kaveh and use his Elemental Burst. If there are already cores on the battlefield, he will immediately explode them.
- Then start hitting opponents with normal and charged strikes, constantly creating the Budding reaction thanks to the Dendro infusion.
- In 12 seconds, you will have time to use Kaveh's elemental skill twice, dealing additional Dendro damage and instantly detonating reinforced cores.
- After the Elemental Burst action ends, start the rotation from the beginning.
The main thing is to use the ult on the rollback. A break of 8 seconds should be enough to accumulate the required amount of energy and use the abilities of other characters.
Best builds for Kaveh
The best weapon
To strengthen the Budding and its derivatives, the architect will need a lot of mastery of the elements, so you should choose a weapon with this parameter. In some cases, it may be necessary to Obtaining Energy in order to apply the ult on the cooldown. If you intend to increase Kaveh's personal damage, then pay attention to the attack power and crits. The table below shows the most suitable two-handed swords.
| Name and rarity | Characteristics (level 1-90) | Passive Ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Flower in armor (4 stars) |
Elemental Mastery: 24~110 Basic Attack: 44~565 |
Increases Attack Power by 12~24% and Elemental Mastery by 48~96 for 8 seconds after hitting an enemy with an elemental skill or generating an elemental reaction. It can be considered the best free option for Kaveh, as when fully awakened, it gives a huge amount of MS and increases attack power, increasing ability damage. Activating the buff will be pretty easy thanks to the Dendro infusion. The only negative is that you could only get a two-handed weapon for a temporary event. |
|
Makhaira Aquamarine (4 stars) |
Elemental Mastery: 31~165 Basic Attack: 42~510 |
Every 10 seconds, the hero's attack power increases by 24~48% of MS for 12 seconds. Nearby allies gain 30% of this effect. The bonus can stack with other two-handed wielders and is triggered even if the character is not on the battlefield. Increases Kaveh's personal damage more than Latah Flower, but provides less healing. It also enhances the other members of the squad, which can have a positive effect on their abilities. |
|
Rainslasher (4 stars) |
Elemental Mastery: 36~165 Basic Attack: 42~510 |
Increases damage by 20~36% when fighting enemies affected by Electro or Hydro. Able to give a lot of MS, increasing reactions, and increase Kaveh's personal damage, because most of the enemies he will fight will have Hydro status. |
|
Forest Regalia (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 6.7%~30.6% Basic Attack: 44~565 |
After any reaction caused by the Dendro element, the Seed of Knowledge appears on the field. Picking it up will increase Elemental Mastery by 60/75/90/105/120 for 12 seconds. The emergence of the Seed occurs no more than once every 20 seconds. A free weapon with which you can solve the problem of lack of energy for the application of the ult on the rollback. Gives MC, but not as much as the previous options, so the reactions will be weaker. |
|
Favonius Greatsword (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 10%~45.9% Basic Attack: 42~510 |
On critical hits, it has a 60~100% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 points of energy. The effect appears once every 12~6 seconds. Completely solves the problem with energy shortages, and for the whole team, which can be useful when using sub-DD/supports with expensive elemental explosions. However, it does not increase MS at all and has a not very high basic attack. Plus, you will need to take the crown (artifact) for the chance of a critical hit. |
|
Wolf’s Gravestone (5 stars) |
Attack Power: 10.8% -49.6%. Basic Attack: 46~608 |
Attack power is increased by 20-40%. If the opponent's HP drops to 30%, the attack power of each team member increases by 40-80% for 12 seconds. The ability can appear no more than once per 30 seconds. Gives a huge increase in attack power, which greatly enhances Kaveh's abilities and his personal damage. Plus, he can buff allies. Crits and MS can be obtained from artifacts. You can try to use this weapon in teams playing through Sprawl. |
|
Reed Sea Lighthouse (5 stars) |
Crete. chance: 7.2-33.08% Basic Attack: 46~608 |
When an elemental skill hits an enemy, increases attack power by 20~40% for 8 seconds. When damaged, increases ATK by 20~40% for 8 seconds. These bonuses occur even when the Achievement: Hero is not on the battlefield. Plus, if the fighter equipped by it does not have a shield, then its maximum health increases by 32~64%. Significantly increases attack and crits while increasing Kaveh's personal damage. Since his elemental skill has a 6-second cooldown, you will be able to almost constantly activate the passive of the sword. Mastery of the elements will have to be obtained from artifacts. You can try to use this weapon in teams playing through Sprawl. |
|
Skyward Pride (5 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 8%~36.8% Basic Attack: 48~674 |
Increases damage dealt by 8%~16%. When using the ult and hitting enemies with simple and charged hits, a blade is created that deals 80% ~ 160% damage to all enemies in the way. The effect ends after eight blades or 20 seconds. Solves the problem of energy deficiency and increases Kaveh's personal damage, especially under the influence of ult. You can try to use this weapon in teams playing through Sprawl. |
|
Bloodtainted Greatsword (3 stars) |
Elemental Mastery: 41~187 Basic Attack: 38~354 |
Increases damage by 12~24% when fighting enemies affected by Electro or Pyro. Can be used when no other options are available. It gives a lot of MS, but has a small basic attack, so the damage from Kaveh's normal attacks will be negligible. Plus, his passive will only trigger when played through Vegetation or Stimulation. |
Best Artifacts
When deciding to play through Budding, we advise you to collect a full set "Flower of Paradise Lost", 2 parts of which increase elemental mastery by 80 points, and 4 parts of which increase the damage of reactions such as Bloom, Vegetation and Budding by 40%. Plus, if these reactions are activated by the Achievement: Hero who wears this set, then the effect will increase by 25%. The bonus can stack up to four times and manifest once per second, and each stack lasts ten seconds. The effect can occur even if the fighter wearing the set is not on the battlefield. That's just have to spend a lot of time on his farm in the dungeon "City of Gold" .
If Kaveh is the only Dendro character in the pack, then we advise him to give "Deepwood Memories", 2 parts of which increase Dendro's damage bonus by 15%, and 4 parts - if hit by an ult or elemental skill, reduce the enemy's resistance to Dendro damage by 30% for 8 seconds. The bonus is activated even if the character is not on the battlefield. However, if the team has a second Dendro Achievement: Hero (Nahida, Collei, Traveler, and so on), then it is better to give this set to him. Dropped in a dungeon "The Spire of Solitary Enlightenment" .
You can also equip an architect "Gilded Dreams", 2 parts of which increase elemental mastery by 80 points, and 4 parts of which increase attack power by 14% for each unit in the unit with the same god's eye and elemental mastery by 50 points for each hero with a different element. The effect occurs every 8 seconds and occurs even if the wearer of the set is not on the battlefield. They are mined in the same dungeon as the previous set.
If you do not have full sets with optimal stats, then you can take two incomplete sets each, which increase Dendro's damage and elemental mastery.
Concerning main characteristics of artifacts, then take the hourglass for elemental mastery, the goblet (chalice) for elemental mastery (or Dendro damage), and the crown (hat) for elemental mastery (or crit. chance / crit. damage in a ratio of 1 to 2). The priority of choosing secondary parameters is as follows: Obtaining Energy, elemental mastery, crits and attack power%.
Top Commands for Kaveh
We have already noted above that the architect definitely needs a second Dendro character when playing through Budding. It is not necessary to take a healer and a shield, since Kaveh can heal himself on his own, however, such characters will be useful, especially if they also belong to the Dendro element.
It is advisable to combine Kaveja with Hydro sub-DD and supports, however, if you wish, you can take Pyro and Electro fighters to create such reactions as Blossom and Vegetation, respectively. The table below shows the best options.
| Basic DPS | Minor DPS | Minor DPS/Support | Support |
