Overview
Kaveh is the Architect behind The Palace of Alcazarzaray. He graduated from Kshahrewar of the Sumeru Akademiya with honors. He taught an architectural elective while he was at the Akademiya and receives a stipend from the Akademiya.
In stark contrast to Alhaitham's rationality, Kaveh operates by what he feels is right. He is a stark defender of the arts and believes that helping others is a natural course of action. Their intense disagreements are such that they even bleed into messages on bulletin boards across Sumeru City and Port Ormos.
Talents
- Normal Attack: Schematic Setup
- Normal Attack: Uses Mehrak to perform up to 4 consecutive attacks.
- Charged Attack: Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE Damage upon impact.
- Elemental Skill: Artistic Ingenuity
Scanning!
Come at me!
Site clear!
Uses Mehrak's mapping ability for offensive purposes, initiating a radial scan that deals AoE Dendro Damage. It will also scan all Dendro Cores in its AoE and cause them to immediately burst.
- Elemental Burst: Painted Dome
Watch and learn!
Breaking new ground.
Feast your eyes!
Completely unleashes Mehrak's energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro Damage to all enemies 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 Damage to Dendro Damage that cannot be overridden.
- All Dendro Cores created by all your own party members through Bloom reactions will deal additional Damage when they burst.
- Increases Kaveh's resistance to interruption.
These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field.
- 1st Ascension Passive: An Architect's Undertaking
When Damage dealt by a Dendro Core (including Damage from Burgeon and Hyperbloom) hits Kaveh, Kaveh will regain HP equal to 300% of his Elemental Mastery. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5 seconds.
- 4th Ascension Passive: A Craftsman's Curious Conceptions
During Elemental Burst: Painted Dome, after Kaveh's Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit enemies, his Elemental Mastery will increase by 25. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1 seconds. Max 4 stacks.
This effect will be canceled when Elemental Burst: Painted Dome's effects end.
- Utility Passive: The Art of Budgeting
When Kaveh crafts Landscape, Building, and Courtyard-type Furnishings, he has a 100% chance to refund a portion of the materials used.

About Other Characters
This part is about what Kaveh thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
I guarantee you'll never meet anyone else who's as infuriating as him! And for the record, yes, I would say that to his face. Sure, he's smart, and sure, geniuses often come with a bad temper, but that's only half the story with him... He knows perfectly well how to appear friendly and likable to others, he just doesn't want to.
If he ever gives you the impression that he doesn't really have a temper, or that he's rigidly logical like a machine, then you just don't know him well enough yet. He definitely has a personality, it's just... too big a personality. Most people wouldn't get it.
Alhaitham helped me out a fair amount recently. If we were still as close as we were during our student days, then I'd be thanking him every chance I got. Now, though... I can't seem get a word of appreciation out of my mouth. Even if I could, I wouldn't want to give him the satisfaction.
I guess you could say our relationship is something of a mixed bag these days? Honestly, with everything that's happened, it almost feels like the universe has been playing pranks on us... It's hard to make sense of it all... too much to process for one lifetime. I will say that it's not every day that you get to know someone like him — I just wish he could rein in some of the worst excesses of his personality. Okay, yeah, that's never gonna happen.
Ah, Tighnari... He's one of the nicest guys you could know. If you've met him, you'll know what I mean. He's kind, and he has enormous expertise in his field, but he never brags about it in front of other people. And he seems to genuinely care about his work.
Back when I was building the Palace of Alcazarzaray, I asked him for some tips on how to pick out the right ornamental plants. After he wrote back to me, he also helped me out with some other issues, too. Oh, and I almost forgot — he was the one who first introduced me to Cyno.
I've met Collei quite a few times now. As Tighnari's student and assistant, she follows him everywhere. With her diligence and patience, she's much more responsible than most other kids her age. But, umm... I can also tell that she's got a lot going on inside.
Cyno can come across as cold and ruthless, but he's actually a very big-hearted guy. I still remember how shocked I was when Tighnari said he was gonna introduce me to his best friend, and then a couple of seconds later, an incredibly intimidating matra comes walking through the door... I honestly never expected to meet a matra who's so comfortable hanging out with scholars. Gotta say though, I can't stand his sense of humor. It really makes my skin crawl. If he ever invites you to a meal at Tighnari's place, make sure someone's bringing beer, because no one should have to endure Cyno's humor while sober.
Nilou's talent as a dancer is indisputable. Zubayr Theater really lucked out when they recruited her. I've heard that she has a great personality too — she always smiles and says encouraging things to her audience when she's performing. Once I can find some time, I'll have to catch one of her shows.
Lesser Lord Kusanali is a wise and capable god. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she also possesses virtue far beyond mortal comprehension. I have only the utmost respect for her tolerance of others — especially in a nation of learning like Sumeru, that takes great equanimity.
Sometimes, though, I do stop to wonder... Surely even the gods must have their struggles, too? Oftentimes, confusion is the beginning of wisdom... In which case, how can we ever achieve true happiness?
Madam Faruzan doesn't mince her words, so I can understand why some students at the Akademiya are afraid of her. She doesn't have any bad intentions, though — all she wants is to devote herself completely to the research that interests her. Some people say that all Haravatat scholars are hard to get along with, and uh... heh, I'll let you be the judge of that.
I assume she's already asked you to be her student? She sure is a little intense when she's doing the hard sell, huh... But she can walk the walk too. She really does know her stuff.
Dori is the owner of the Palace of Alcazarzaray... Excuse me? Mine? No, don't be ridiculous. I know full well that it doesn't belong to me... I know, I know, but... argh, please, let's not go there!
Dori is a shrewd one. She knows how to coerce others into doing things for her. I, uh... For, ahem, various reasons, I now owe her a large sum of money. It all got quite complicated in the end, but... A—Anyway, I wish she'd show me a little mercy, and stop making my life a misery for the sake of Mora. I swear, she doesn't seem like a bad person at heart, so... I just don't understand, how did she turn out like this?
