Kaveh's optimal combo is N3D — three
SUPPORT:
Kaveh acts as the on-field driver in Dendro-based Bloom teams. His Burst boosts Bloom damage, while his Dendro application generates Bloom Cores. Self-healing from his Skill removes the need for a dedicated healer or shielder.
Weapon Choices:
Wolf's Gravestone and Song of Broken Pines – avoid these if the teamwide ATK% from their passives contributes little to overall team damage.
Artifacts:
Deepwood Memories (4) – do not equip this set on Kaveh if another party member already holds it.
Ocean Hued Clam (4) – outperforms Deepwood Memories (4) when a different character can equip the latter. Effectiveness increases noticeably at C1.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4) – edges out Ocean Hued Clam (4) if Kaveh triggers the majority of Bloom reactions in the team.
Main Stats:
Circlet – CRIT Rate is only recommended when using Favonius Greatsword.
