Kaveh's unique role in Genshin Impact as a Bloom reaction driver makes him an intriguing character to build and experiment with. By understanding his scaling, abilities, and synergy with other team members, you can maximize his potential in your party and enjoy the gameplay opportunities he offers. In this guide, we'll delve into the mechanics that drive Kaveh's abilities and explore his scaling.
Kaveh’s Scaling in Genshin Impact
Kaveh, who made his debut in the second Genshin Impact banner of the 3.6 update, is a character with a unique role. He is an on-field driver specializing in triggering Bloom reactions, a unique type of elemental reaction in the game. Unlike traditional DPS characters, Kaveh focuses on supporting off-field teammates, making him an excellent choice for team compositions that rely on these reactions.
Kaveh's primary scaling stat is Elemental Mastery. This is due to his role in triggering Bloom reactions, where EM significantly impacts the damage dealt. To maximize Kaveh's effectiveness, you should prioritize building him with high EM.
To fully grasp what Kaveh scales off of, we need to break down his abilities and how they contribute to his overall performance:
Normal Attacks: Kaveh's Normal Attacks are useful for triggering Bloom reactions, but they are most effective after using his Elemental Burst (Q), which makes his Normal Attacks deal Dendro damage. The scaling for Normal Attacks doesn't change but becomes more impactful when used in combination with his other abilities.
Elemental Skill (E): Kaveh's Skill has a short cooldown and deals Dendro damage while instantly detonating nearby Dendro cores. The primary value of this skill lies in core detonation and the application of Dendro for Bloom reactions. It's important to use this skill off-cooldown to maximize Kaveh's utility.
Elemental Burst (Q): Kaveh's Elemental Burst is a game-changer. It infuses his Normal Attacks with Dendro, damages all enemies with Dendro, detonates nearby Dendro cores, and increases the area of effect and interruption resistance for 12 seconds. When Kaveh uses his Burst, it doesn't change the scaling of his Normal Attacks but makes them deal Dendro damage, enabling him to trigger Bloom reactions.
Kaveh scales primarily off Elemental Mastery (EM). Building him with a focus on EM and using artifact sets designed for Bloom reactions will make him a valuable asset in Genshin Impact teams.
