Kaveh Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro Claymore character from Sumeru who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Kaveh grants bonus Elemental Mastery, complementing a stat priority of Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate. For the Bloom DPS setup, equip Flower of Paradise Lost (City of Gold) with Elemental Mastery Sands, Elemental Mastery Goblet, and Elemental Mastery Circlet. Mailed Flower (Elemental Mastery) is the top recommended weapon, while Forest Regalia serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

This Kaveh DPS build focuses on increasing his Bloom damage with the Flower of Paradise Lost artifact set and Elemental Mastery stats. He can claim ownership for Dendro Core damage if you have more Hydro than Dendro. Make sure to have a teammate use the Deepwood Memories set to increase Kaveh's Dendro Core damage. Otherwise, Kaveh should use Deepwood Memories instead.
