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:
CircletCRIT Rate is only recommended when using Favonius Greatsword.

Kaveh Nilou Bloom Burst

SS

A Bloom-focused team where Nilou's Bountiful Cores turn standard Dendro cores into massive AoE explosions, with Kaveh on-field to detonate and sustain.

Nilou's passive converts Bloom cores into Bountiful Cores that burst faster and deal larger AoE DMG. Kaveh triggers these reactions with his attacks and Burst while Xingqiu supplies consistent Hydro; Baizhu shields, heals, and boosts Bloom DMG through his Max HP.
