Hoyo banished Kaveh to the shadow realm, but I built him anyways.

I was going to make this video when Kaveh got a rerun, but apparently Hoyoverse is never going to rerun him. So I did it now instead. Surely I can get Kaveh to work as intended, right?

[@Naimsss]

While he does feel like a cheap Nilou/Alhaitham in most of the teams he can be used, he's still one of my favorite characters, personality wise, in this game. So I had to build him. So far, my favorite team is a bloom based team: Kaveh: 4 piece Deepwood, Favonious Greatsword, full EM on artifact. Xingqiu: usually DPS build Yelan: usual DPS build C6 Sacrificial Bow Diona. The idea is that XQ and Yelan's strong hydro application will keep the hydro aura on the opponents so you can guarantee that Kaveh is the bloom trigger, thus only needing EM on him. XQ also provides resistance to interruption for Kaveh while he's attacking. Diona's C6 will give him 200 extra EM, that he misses because of the Favonious Greatsword being used as weapon. It's a good balance, because then Kaveh has the opportunity to trigger Fav at least 2 times while on field, helping all the team's ER needs and Diona can keep him alive with her heals/shield

[@tmtravlrsgoogleaccount1984]

Oo that sounds like a good combo. Too bad my Diona isn't c6... My usual Kaveh team is Kaveh, Xingqui, Nilou, Nahida/Kirara/Baizou (That last slot depends on how dangerous the enemies are). But yeah... I have to build Xingqui with EM on that team since both he and Kaveh are triggering blooms.

This has been bothering me for so long!! Kaveh has joined Eula club 😭 this is the longest since a 4 star has gone since release without a rerun by far. I tried so hard to get him at release and I couldn't and I've been waiting 11 months! Thank you for acknowledging him!

[@vanthom993]

Well not quite the longest, he's at 16 banners since his last rate up, which is really long don't get me wrong. But it is definitely not the top spot, that goes to Gorou with a gap of 21 banners (3.3 - 4.5), then Xinyan with a gap of 18, followed by a tie of Sara, Ningguang and Layla (who is currently still growing that streak) with 17 each an THEN we get Kaveh at currently a 16 banner gap and counting, tying him up with Chongyun. Eula's gap was 27 banners btw, which isn't even the longest by all that much: Albedo got close with 24, and Hu Tao did have a solid 21 gap before her 3.4 rerun.

Tbh they fk him up by giving dendro vision His best team is with nilou or bloom and most of the time hydro characters in those team are build as triggerer and full em. They want kaveh to be bloom trigger plus build full em yet they make the hydro to be better element to do. If he has hydro vision he would be one of good option for nilou team cus of the buff he give to bloom he trigger Also why his energy cost is that high when his brust do is only infusion and nothing else

[@alexprus7953]

He doesn't work with Nilou because he needs to be the one to burst the bloom seeds and he can't do that to Nilou's special blooms. Unless I'm missing something

[@Sayise]

​@@alexprus7953I think that he can still burst nilou's bloom seeds

@@alexprus7953 that's why being hydro is better cus he doesn't need to brust the seed just need to make the seed since nilou seed brust themselves. His buff work on the seed he make he doesn't need to brust them.

Yeah I hate his energy cost. Also definitely agree he would be much more interesting as a hydro unit.

[@emilei3069]

​@@alexprus7953nilou's passive just makes bloom seeds burst much quicker, their damage is still calculated by whoever created the seed with their reaction. So as long as there is hydro on the enemy and kaveh hits them, kaveh will cause the bloom reaction and the damage will be calculated by his EM, level etc. Just means his skill is kinda useless coz they dont need to be popped quicker

[@Solunerra]

How has my boy never gotten a rerun? Wall of text below regarding the text pop-up in the video: I cutout a whole rambly section talking about how Furinas C2 and Nahida C2 makes little difference for this video (it was too long and too off topic from just doin Kaveh things so I didn't find it worth including, and Id rather keep my videos a bit more focused on the fun stuff). But if you care, below is basically what I cut out: Xianyun is already so good of a healer with Furina that C2 is just getting dmg% sooner with her, but the dmg% is still the same total value, and with an invested Xianyun you get max dmg% quickly regardless. C2 Furina makes a difference for non-ideal healers paired with Furina, not ones like Xianyun who has healing exactly made to synergize with Furina. I disclose when I am trying to abuse Furinas C2 when it is relevant. In this video it is irrelevant enough that I decided it wasn't even worth including in the video. C1 Furina is more relevant than C2 in this case, but I digress. Pertaining Nahida C2: we aren't using Electro, which means no 30% def reduction. The only value Nahida C2 is then giving is the blooms critting. This is 20% fixed crit rate with 100% crit damage, which is a 20% overall increase to bloom dmg in this team. That may seem big, but this team is not doing entirely bloom damage--it is not a Nilou team--so it is not a 20% team DPS upgrade. If the bloom damage is doing 50% of the team damage in this video, then it means Nahida C2 is only increasing the team DPS by about 10%. But that is only IF bloom damage was 50% of the team DPS. I've not done hardcore tracking of what percentage of team DPS the bloom dmg was, but I highly doubt it was 50% (the exact % would depend on context quite a bit). Point being, Nahida C2 is realistically at best a 5-10% team DPS increase in practice. It makes more of a perceptual difference in this video than it actually does for the teams performance. So if all other factors were the same for you on your account trying to play this team, but you don't have Nahida C2, you would expect abyss clears to potentially take a few seconds longer. It may be the difference between having to optimize your play a bit more than I had to (or require having a stronger team the other abyss side), but it is not the difference between being able to clear at all. Sometimes Nahida C2 can make a significant difference, but in this video it (and Furina C2)didn't, hence my decision to cut my 5 minutes of rambling about this from the video. I'm saying all this for anyone who may overestimate the significance of some of these constellations sometimes. The nature of supportive constellations is that they aren't always relevant. I'd turn them off if I could for videos to prove this, but I cannot. Ultimately, having Xianyun, Furina, and Nahida at all to make this Kaveh team function is of FAR more importance than the minor upgrade of having a couple constellations. It is fun to see blooms crit of course though lol. I am actually glad I didn't end up with Xianyun C2/her weapon in hindsight too, as that WOULD make a meaningful difference. Praise the gacha gods for at least keeping that more relatable for me lol.

This is relatable gameplay skill, lol. I've been playing plunge Chongyun with Xianyun but the circle impact from Chongyun's infusion is annoying, at least Kaveh doesn't have to deal with that. I feel it's quite hard to aim claymore plunges properly especially when you're trying to dash cancel

[@stardustandsarcasm]

Love this video! I think a lot of people who play genshin treat character building like a jigsaw puzzle in the sense that they think there's one "correct" final picture that you should be working towards. I prefer treating it like a box of lego. Sure, maybe it came as a set and there's an intended way to put all the pieces together, but that doesn't mean you can't build something else instead. Idk, I've always thought one of the most enjoyable things about genshin as a game is that you can pretty much clear all the content even while ignoring meta. Like sure, seeing crazy big numbers and one-shotting bosses can be satisfying in its own way, but imo the game is most fun when you just build your favourite characters in whatever way your heart desires bc you can usually figure out weird team comps and synergies to make things work regardless.

[@persephonehades7547]

Man this takes me back to when I was cooking with Kaveh lol He's such a strange case since theoretically he should've been a fridge/freezebloom dps, but his energy needs and his being a claymore user just doesn't allow for it. It's also a really good lesson in bloom priority since if you have Kaveh+hydro, the hydro has bloom priority. If you have Kaveh+hydro+hydro, the bloom priority is back to Kaveh and synergizes with his kit for the most part. And if you leave it at that, you then have the very obvious energy needs that get in the way of him bursting every rotation or having maximized bloom damage. So you bring in a second dendro to help, and then THEY get bloom priority (according to Kaveh mains at the time). Which isn't totally bad on Nahida if you have a 1k EM build on her, but still it devalues Kaveh being on his full EM build...except if you put him on Ocean Hued Clam instead to maximize the heal-to-damage potential lol Also this might be forbidden knowledge, but I just want to point out if you put Kaveh on a hybrid build then his healing should overcap and help out with Furina fanfare stacks in a not-insignificant way. So...hybrid Kaveh in the future?

[@gabriel9186]

I feel like Kaveh’s uniqueness is that he self-heals from core damage, so he is, most likely, intended to be a Burgeon driver (as he heals instead of taking dmg) Sure, he could have a universal dendro bloom damage bonus to facilitate and incentivize his usage outside a cheap Nilou gimmicky or even being outclassed by Baizhu in every form of driving +dendro bonuses. Nonetheless, Architect buddy works the best alongside Thoma + Xingqiu + any other (probably dendro, yaoyao/nahida) in my opinion

Back on debut I only managed to get C0 and had to go past pity to do so, which at least thankfully was a Diluc so I could guarantee his roommate (and teammate cuz I play them together in spread META be damned). Flash forward to now and I’m at 71 pity (Kuki & Kirara together was too good & I hit Ayato early) and looking at 5* leaks only to see if any are likely to be someone he’d run on and if I can tolerate having that character or if I should sacrifice a few of my savings to reset my pity. So far if the current 4.6 lineup stands precisely as is, I’m gonna hold out. Really REALLY praying he comes 2nd half because that would be a massive *W* for me (or preferably at least 2 for C4 😉).

Replacing Nahida with Baizhu and Xianyun with Nilou should be a more than functional team (likely better than this one) as far as team dps goes. But that is mostly a team configuration where you happen to be able to utilize Kaveh just by nature of him applying dendro as an on fielder. But Furina should still let you get some decent damage at least, and the team DPS is probably higher, but at the end of the day that would feel far more like a Nilou team to me than a Kaveh team. But its still another way to at least get a little use out of him which is nice

(Used to play him with Candace, after a while I stopped doing that and just utilizes the 4pc effect only.) Dori has Favonius Greatsword, and 4pc Shimenawa (I’ve tried other builds before but … this is the one that stuck, and her C6 makes it even funner.) I decided to build them at the same time, so I ended up making a team of; Kaveh, Dori, Sara, and Yaoyao. Yaoyao is there for the Dendro Resonance, plus her C1. Sara was there because … my Bennett is C6’d … (no regrets, Pyro rules!) it was a plus since Sara already buffs ATK and can give the team Electro Resonance (plus, as a Bow user, she can shoot the weak points in Ruin Machines, so … yippee!)

[@something8886]

I have him at C6 and i kinda want a nilou bloom team for him

[@anime-lk8kq]

I saw someone clear abyss using c1 Kaveh bloom without furina or Nahida or Nilou (baizhu + yelan + xingqiu) recently and it inspired me to give him a go on bloom again. I’ve managed to do decent damage using him on a spread plunge team (I have cracked artifacts + nahida) but I like the idea of using him in a way that fits his design…

[@TheMoonestOne]

I love using Kaveh! I have two teams that I use. The first one I thought it was kinda boring, but it's nice actually: Kaveh in Nilou Bloom team. I thought Kaveh would just be a worse Nahida, but actually he's the best Nilou driver (or the most comfortable to play with) because he heals from blooms and has a lot of interruption resistance. I even used him against the Tulpa with this team. The second one is actually my favorite, and it's pretty similar to your team. I use Kaveh, Fischl, Xianyun and Furina. It's very fun and it uses the most of everyone's kit, imo: - Kaveh's high MV from the plunges, can still proc blooms (and heal from it), and do Spread damage. Also, his damage is buffed by Xianyun and Furina, just like yours. - Fischl doesn't usually proc hyperbloom, but her A4 allows to do extra Aggravates for every Quicken Kaveh's do. Her damage is also buffed by Furina. - Xianyun's buffs matter a lot for Kaveh's damage, and her Anemo AoE for each plunge can sometimes proc Hyperbloom (it's not much, but it's extra damage, that usually is higher than the blooms), and Kaveh's long CD allows more time spent on Xianyun, so I can actually use her skill with 3 jumps and no need for only 1 jump (and maybe even do a little of taser driver things for a little while). - Furina will buff everyone in the team, including her (only not buffing the bloom, hyperbloom, electrocharge and swirl damage). But all of these characters, excluding Fischl, are C0, and for this plunge Kaveh team, it's best to use him on Fav, so his damage is way lower than yours (and you're not even doing spread damage xD). I'll try your team another time to see if I can clear abyss with it as well, even with Furina and Nahida being C0.

I have my Kaveh lvl 90 triple EM on fav and he clears everything in the game with ease! *hides my c1r1 Nilou and r1 Nahida that I use him with* It’s definitely him that’s carrying haha wdym

[@ReQ1999]

I was a Kaveh main, bloom Kaveh main. I miss it so much but Neuvillette stole my heart...

[@pinkvivi9345]

I got Kaveh C5 and I’m going to build him when I get Nilou! He’s great

[@aintailstweentales7964]

Good to see i'm not the only one plunging with kaveh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will forever be salty mhyo made kaveh an on-fielder in a niche that doesn't need him. He could have been that one support that all of the other 3(Nari,Cyno,Haitham) can use in their team, but they still fucked it up. A REAL ARCHITECT LOREWISE AND A DENDRO USER AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM A DENDRO CONSTRUCT but instead a bloom driver? A MASSIVE WASTE OF OPPORTUNITY literally so many people are waiting for him and they gave him the kit that doesn't fit him, his entire kit could have been given to other characters like kirara, but no they remove baizhu's shielding capabilities just to have a poorly planned separate dendro shielder.

[@user-bj9lg9zi6u]

I tried to play as Kaveh + Furina + Thoma + Bai Zhu/Kazuha (depends on situation). Obviously not a meta team but surprisingly comfortable one for exploring and fightings. And i also don't like to build Kaveh with EM - in my opinion, Kaveh is better with standart crit/atk build with gladiator for example

[@Skynetdotexe]

I love how you talked extensively about furina, then switched over to kaveh and was like: "Man idk kinda looks swag on him what can I do"

[@miajohansson172]

I got him on my other account on a random single pull for stander banner. But still, such a pretty boy

[@helge5565]

I'm for Wanderer and c6 Faruzan in the next patch (if there won't be Faruzan in Wanderer's banner, I'm gonna steal all the road signs around Mihoyo's hq). Unfortunatelly Snek Man has also his banner then, so there's a high chance Kaveh will be there Nice team... Too bad I don't any of the 5 stars you showed

[@Zerohski]

Ive been waiting for over a year to get him hes literally te only 4 star i am still missing.

[@jae7798]

you can just do one normal attack (can animation cancel) instead of dashing to do a plunge attack so the character's plunge range would be closer to the enemy.

[@Tammzyz]

for some reason i thought this was gonna be a thunder fury kaveh bloom video i was super wrong

[@akkocracker]

See I have Nahida and Furina but I don’t have xianyun, I’m unsure what I should put in the last slot and making teams for him is so confusing. Should I do beidou for spread or kaeya for shatterbloom or is there another character I can use..

[@jasmine9581]

He was my tipping point to finally start playing (but I had finals so like 5 days after Providence/Banner ended) Now... idk if his 5-star is Baizhu or Nilou, he's mine (kinda hope its Nilou ; I like her a lil more and 2 artsy people AH)

[@sovereign611]

I FINALLY got Kaveh from standard the other day because I was taking a break from genshin during his release.

[@catbaril9072]

Kaveh is amazing his gameplay is so fun

[@isabellamartina1845]

Yay for Kaveh appreciation!!! I farmed Flower of Paradise Lost for Kaveh..... the good thing is that I was able to build Kuki, Scara and Raiden as well. And I also got C1 Baizhu trying for One copy of Kaveh.... he's forever C0 now.....

[@Solunerra]

Whats crazy is the four stars rumored next banner dont include him

[@shrine_maiden]

This video somehow showed up on my algorithm right after I quote-retweeted the Wanderer/Baizhu Phase 2 banner with "Where is Kaveh?", and of course, Kaveh is nowhere to be found

[@jajathenewking6131]

My preferred to play Kaveh is quick bloom with Collei, Xingqiu, and Kuki, I'd replace Collei with Nahida and Xingqiu with Yelan on my main account because they are better. It's alright of a team and I don't have to wait for Kaveh's cooldown, it's big problem is it just need both EM, ER, and Crit stats. I'd put GD set on Kaveh to worry about EM.

[@NightShiftWorkers]

I’ve been a C1 Kaveh main upon release, do i have better characters? Yes. Would it make my life easier if i used them instead? Absolutely. But i love him anyways, so thank you for taking him out of the back alley ❤️

[@neronoid]

I love green physical

[@Gay_Rainbow]

You see, the reason he hasn’t gotten a rerun is because he is too op of a dps, he’s the only character to solo both sides of the spiral abyss.

[@_mako]

hell yeah, ive been waiting for this!

[@icemaiden9534]

i have kaveh on a bloom team and i love playing him, hes my darling boi

[@Schuldig]

i whaled a lot during baizhu's banner just to get kaveh. neither of them came hame T_T then i got Kaveh on standard a few banners after. no cons, only 800EM because i got trashy artis. hopefully he comes back on Haitam's banner

[@luizairinam2136]

I also play my kaveh Bloom with furina and koko and nahihi♡ if I want hyperbloom, I ll switch nahihi out for fischl, I do my best to use my fave characters

[@sonjab.6852]

I tried plunge Kaveh and it works. EM-Raiden, Furina and Xianyun. Enough er on Kaveh. 36* in the abyss with plunge Kaveh and Alhaitham hyperbloom :D

[@lnsflare1]

I think that is less that he's a 10% Nilou she more that he's kinda-sorta Nilou's equivalent of Sara/Gorou/Faruzan/Chevreuse, buffing her off field damage and removing the negative side effects of Bloom.

[@doughnutheart9509]

He's got a new toy you say 👁👁

[@migueltalampas307]

noooooo please don't hurt kaveh's hand

[@goldfi2h]

It's funny, I got him wishing for Kazuha (and got Dehya ugh), so I'm interested if he is worth building

[@xvgarnet]

ngl, I was excited when i saw this in my recommended because I've been trying to play Kaveh, but I was a bit disappointed to see it's just another xianyun plunge claymore team. I understand it's hard to make a character like him viable and xianyun gives great buffs. Nonetheless it's still very decent damage output and I am happy to see some Kaveh appreciation.

[@Solunerra]

Side effect of Hoyo making a unit that wants to do NAs but giving him next to nothing to make his NA damage actually relevant… Ultimately plunge dmg is to make it so we are actually dealing damage with Kaveh, rather than the alternative of doing something like Spread Kaveh which ignores the bloom part of his kit and can primarily make for a competent team only by speccing into the strength of the dps of other characters more. A strong team is a strong team, but bloom plunge kaveh is the best way I can currently think of to actually use Kavehs kit. If we had a electro healer that worked better with Furina Id be more inclined towards that. All in all, its weird that Hoyo made a plunge buffer before making a CA buffer, or a NA buffer without cringe build requirements (YunJin)

[@inferius3389]

mine is just c0 but I like the idea of em furina the best and most lazy way to contantly apply hydro but hp drain is issue Once I finally get nilou I will try to bloom with baizhu and nahida

[@schlafesbruder7625]

Kaveh ... dps for my first ever reaction based team :-) Okay Sir, teach me more about him! I am still working to make his team better.

[@dreadfulprism4125]

PLEASE I WANT KAVEH PUT HIM ON A BANNER I NEED

[@jae7798]

1:16 he's got quite a few new toys to be able to play around with 🥵🥵🥵

[@ryehann]

As someone who lost chiori's sword to redhorn(yes it's a loss for me because I don't like claymores) at least it fits kaveh's aesthetics.
