Skill damage bonus and energy refund; a comfort pick for Burst spam in tight rotations.

Skyward Pride

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge and vacuum blades contribute personal damage; not reaction-focused but functional.

Forest Regalia

Craftable EM claymore; the leaf drop grants extra EM to further amplify core damage.

Rainslasher

Artifacts

Deepwood Memories

4-piece shreds Dendro RES, directly boosting both Kaveh's Dendro attacks and Bloom/Burgeon core damage.

Ocean-Hued Clam

Niche pick: converts healing from self-damage or teammates into AoE physical bursts; usable with a healer.

Flower of Paradise Lost

4-piece increases Bloom/Burgeon/Hyperbloom damage by 40% and grants EM—best-in-slot for core-driven teams.

Instructor

Cheap budget set: 2-piece gives +80 EM, 4-piece shares 120 EM to the team after triggering a reaction.

Kaveh's optimal combo is N3D — three Normal Attacks canceled with a Dash at the end.

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.
