Genshin Impact - Kaveh Skills, Materials, Talents, and More

Genshin Impact Version 3.6 welcomes Kaveh, another addition to the Dendro roster! Read on for his Skills, Materials, Talents, and more.

Kaveh Details

“Mainstream Sumeru academia tends to hide a certain fact from time to time, which is that for some people, talent can occasionally be more of a burden instead. Nevertheless, this view can also be but an excuse. In truth, it is your character that determines your destiny first and foremost. The aforementioned ideas are the sort that Kaveh will persistently rebut.”

— Alhaitham

“Empyrean Reflection” Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro Claymore character, the second after Yaoyao. He was added as a playable character on Genshin Impact Version 3.6. Apart from being Alhaitham's roommate, Kaveh is also a Renowned Sumeru Architect.

Kaveh's constellation is named “Paradisaea,” literally meaning “bird of paradise” in Latin. His birthday is on July 9th.

His Ascension Stat is Bonus EM, gaining 96 Bonus Elemental Mastery at max ascension.

Kaveh's banner is now live! He debuts with Baizhu on the latter's featured banner. Already got Kaveh? Check out our Best Weapon and Artifact Build for Kaveh.

Kaveh Skills

Normal Attack: Torque Settings

Normal Attack

• Uses Mehrak to perform up to 4 consecutive attacks.

Charged Attack

• Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes.
  At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack

• Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Artistic Ingenuity

Uses Mehrak’s mapping ability for offensive purposes, initiating a radial scan that deals AoE Dendro DMG. It will also scan all Dendro Cores in its AoE and cause them to immediately burst.

“Mehrak was created through the modification of ancient technology, and may have some other functions apart from mapping work…”

Elemental Burst: 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 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.”

Kaveh Passive Talents

The Art of Budgeting

• When Kaveh crafts Landscape, Building, and Courtyard-type Furnishings, he has a 100% chance to refund a portion of the materials used.

An Architect's Undertaking

• When DMG dealt by a Dendro Core (including DMG from Burgeon and Hyperbloom) hits Kaveh, Kaveh will regain HP equal to 300% of his Elemental Mastery. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s.

A Craftsman's Curious Conceptions

• During Painted Dome, after Kaveh's Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit opponents, his Elemental Mastery will increase by 25. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1s. Max 4 stacks.
• This effect will be canceled when Painted Dome's effects end.

Sublime Salutations

Pairidaeza's Dreams

• When Kaveh’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks hit opponents during Painted Dome, it will unleash the Light of the Firmament upon the opponent’s position, dealing 61.8% of Kaveh’s ATK as AoE Dendro DMG and causing all Dendro Cores within that AoE to rupture. This effect can be triggered once every 3s.

Other Kaveh Details

Kaveh's specialty dish is called “the Endeavor,” obtained by cooking Enameled Shortbread with Kaveh.

• Description: Kaveh’s specialty. With the golden crust of the scone arranged to resemble the Palace of Alcazarzaray, the meal rises like a tower from a pallid pond of yogurt sauce. Though the creator of the dish has placed a monumental amount of effort into its creation, he seems to have missed the fact that all scones need to be broken during the process of consumption.

His outfit is called “Gold Pinions in Flames Bathed.”

• Description: Kaveh’s outfit. A notable tailor from Treasures Street created these clothes in imitation of the lovely sight of birds extending their wings in flight, and would only sell this to those who knew how to appreciate its beauty.

HoyoLAB Official Introduction 

A renowned architect from Sumeru, known as the Light of Kshahrewar. He is one of the most high-profile figures in the industry.

As a designer and an outstanding alumnus, Kaveh has quite the reputation among Akademiya students and is idolized as a role model by the students of Kshahrewar. Unfortunately, his career is not as plain-sailing as people imagine. The same can be said for many other facets of his life.

Titles, rumors, fame, and reputation… These are all mere by-products of his work. Equipped with astounding professional design skills, Kaveh puts his heart and soul into his work and is imbued with ideals and pursuits for aesthetics and architectonics. Designers are not in charge of the construction’s final execution, yet they hold responsibility for all its aspects. Thus, be it design details, safety and security, or practicality, no effort may be spared in ensuring the quality of each aspect. On top of that, being one of the best in his field, Kaveh pays additional attention to the aesthetic and human elements that he is concerned about throughout the process. For him, designs that are completely divorced from reality should be classified as fantasy, whereas a building that is actually put into construction must have practical value.

That said, it is rather inconceivable that such an extraordinary architect could have been rendered bankrupt by a single project. Fortunately, very few know about this matter, and most of them keep it a secret. As for Kaveh himself, he is deathly afraid that the secret of his bankruptcy might ever leak out. It is thus fair to say that he is not really living his ideal life.
