Best Kaveh Genshin Impact Build: Artifacts, Weapons, and More

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro character from the Sumeru region in Genshin Impact.

Kaveh was not only the architect of the Palace of Alcazarzaray, but also dedicated his time to studying the Kshahrewar Darshan at the Sumeru Akademiya. However, due to his financial struggles, Kaveh was forced to move in with Alhaitham after the completion of the palace.

Kaveh excels in combat when paired with a team that prioritizes the Bloom Elemental Reaction, but he does have a high energy demand. This is especially crucial since Kaveh’s Normal and Charged Attacks do not deal significant damage to enemies.

If you want to include Kaveh in your gathering, continue reading to discover the most effective Artifact sets and weapons for him.

Best Kaveh Weapons

Mailed Flower

Mailed Flower is the best weapon for Kaveh.

This weapon is essential for Kaveh in Genshin Impact. It grants a 12% ATK boost and 48 Elemental Mastery increase after hitting an enemy with a wearer’s Elemental Skill, making it a perfect fit for Kaveh’s kit. If you have this weapon, it is highly recommended to use it.

This weapon’s sole drawback is that it was exclusively obtained as a reward from the Windblume’s Breath Event and is no longer obtainable.

Makhaira Aquamarine

This weapon is especially beneficial for Kaveh, as it converts 24% of the equipped character’s Elemental Mastery into bonus ATK. Additionally, all party members will receive a significant 30% increase in the same buff. This is particularly advantageous for Kaveh in Nilou teams.

The buff is effective when used alongside any of the units in Kaveh’s party, making it a strong option for those who do not possess Mailed Flower.

Top Team Compositions for Kaveh in Genshin Impact

We strongly suggest utilizing Nilou in conjunction with Kaveh on a team centered around the Bloom Elemental Reaction. While the other characters can be chosen at your discretion, we advise utilizing Kokomi as the team’s primary healer and Nahida as a secondary DPS.

Nilou is one of the best units to pair alongside Kaveh.

If you are unable to acquire Nilou, you can still utilize other Hydro characters such as Xingqiu or Ayato to apply Hydro damage even when they are not currently active on the battlefield.

Instead, you have the option to include Kaveh in a Hyperbloom squad alongside units like Raiden Shogun or Kuki Shinobu, who specialize in Electro abilities. The remaining spots in your team could be occupied by Dendro characters such as Baizhu or Nahida, as well as Hydro options like Xingqiu or Yelan.
