BLOOM / BURGEON DRIVER Build

Weapons

Flame-Forged InsightR5

Elemental Mastery

EM substat feeds Burgeon cores directly, and the reaction-triggered passive stacks more EM each rotation.

Favonius Greatsword

Energy Recharge

N3 CRITs generate particles, patching Energy Recharge so the infusion Burst never drops.

Sacrificial Greatsword

Energy Recharge

Skill reset doubles seed output per rotation; ER substat covers Burst uptime without an ER sands.

Mailed FlowerR5

Elemental Mastery

EM main stat plus passive ATK and EM after Skill hits — exactly what core damage scales on.

Wolf's Gravestone

ATK%

Only worth it as a CRIT-hybrid stat stick; the ATK% is wasted on cores unless you build personal damage.

Song of Broken Pines

Physical DMG Bonus

Attack speed shortens the N3D combo, fitting more seeds into the same window; EM substat still helps cores.

Makhaira Aquamarine

Elemental Mastery

EM substat with stacking CRIT Rate — the one claymore that carries both core scaling and raw hits.

Katsuragikiri Nagamasa

Energy Recharge

ER substat plus energy restored on Skill use — the safest way to guarantee the Burst infusion.

Skyward Pride

Energy Recharge

ER substat and flat Normal Attack damage, so every swing of the drive string lands harder.

Forest Regalia

Energy Recharge

Reactions drop a Leaf granting party EM, raising the whole team's core damage, not just yours.

Rainslasher

Elemental Mastery

EM substat plus bonus damage against Hydro/Pyro-affected targets — the exact aura state during Burgeon.

Artifacts

Deepwood Memories

4pc Dendro RES shred lifts every core's damage; run it unless a teammate already holds the set.

Ocean-Hued Clam

Healing bonus keeps a low-HP driver alive through core explosions; 4pc turns that healing into extra bubble damage.

Flower of Paradise Lost

4pc directly boosts Bloom, Hyperbloom and Burgeon; EM stacks each time you cycle abilities.

Instructor

Cheapest team-wide 120 Elemental Mastery after any reaction — best when a support handles RES shred.

Gilded Dreams

Up to 150 EM plus ATK from the 4pc; most flexible statline when party elements shift between teams.

Elemental MasteryCRIT Rate

Kaveh's optimal combo is N3D: three Normal Attacks, then a Dash at the end to cancel the final swing's recovery. Cutting that animation keeps the rotation tight.

Kaveh — Support:
On-field Dendro driver for Bloom teams. Burst boosts Core damage and applies Dendro to create Cores. Self-healing removes the need for a dedicated defensive unit.
Wolf's Gravestone/Song of Broken Pines: skip if teamwide ATK% from the passive barely affects team damage.
Deepwood Memories (4): don't use on him if an ally already holds it.
Ocean Hued Clam (4): outclasses Deepwood if another ally can carry Deepwood; notably better at C1.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4): better than Ocean Hued Clam if he triggers most Blooms.
Circlet: CRIT Rate only for Favonius Greatsword.
