Talents & Constellations

Normal AttackNormal Attack

Kaveh performs a sequence of Claymore-based Normal Attacks.

Normal Attack
Elemental SkillArtistic Ingenuity

Deals AoE Dendro DMG around Kaveh and detonates any Dendro Cores within the radius.

Elemental Skill
Elemental BurstPainted Dome

Completely unleashes Mehrak's energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to all opponents within it, causing all Dendro Cores in its AoE to immediately burst, and granting Kaveh the following enhanced combat abilities for a specific duration: · Increases Kaveh's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack AoE, and converts his attack DMG to Dendro DMG that cannot be overridden. · All Dendro Cores created by all your own party members through Bloom and Lunar-Bloom reactions will deal additional DMG when they burst. · Increases Kaveh's resistance to interruption. These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field. "Every building style includes the architect's unique worldview, and from this angle, one can say that the buildings themselves are coalescences of human memories."
