A new Genshin Impact leak reveals the kit details for one of the upcoming characters, the Dendro user Kaveh. The game's official Twitter account has already announced this character for the upcoming update 3.6 and he won't be the only new roster addition in 3.6 as HoYoverse confirmed a second Dendro user, the long-awaited Baizhu.
Both of these characters have already made appearances in Genshin Impact's main storyline. Kaveh played a significant role in the ongoing Sumeru arc in which he's portrayed as a talented architect who created various landmarks such as the famous Palace of Alcazarzaray. He is also confirmed to be the roommate of another Sumeru character, Alhaitham, who joined the playable roster in the previous update.
Unlike Alhaitham who is known as a very rational character, Kaveh's actions are always led by emotions. When it comes to his power on the field, a new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed the description of his whole kit. The leak confirms previous rumors that Kaveh will be using the claymore as his primary weapon which will make him the only Dendro character with this weapon type. According to the leak, the suitcase that can be seen in Kaveh's official splash art is will play a huge part in his kit.
His Elemental Skill, Artistic Ingenuity, allows Kaveh to use a special device hidden in his suitcase named Mehrak to deal Dendro damage to all nearby opponents. It will also scan for Dendro Cores and cause them to immediately rupture which means that Kaveh will be a great choice for the famous Bloom team composition.
Kaveh's Elemental Burst description is much more complex as it creates a cubic field effect that deals Dendro damage and grants various buffs. His Normal Charged and Plunging Attack will be infused with Dendro damage and have a larger AoE effect. All Dendro Cores within the bursts will deal additional rupture damage and Kaveh will also have his resistance to interruption increased.
A lot of fans seem to be confused by Kaveh's kit since it's hard to guess what his primary role might be. While he can be used as a sub-DPS for a specific type of Dendro team comps, acquiring all of his constellation levels could also make him a strong main DPS character. Getting all of his constellations should not be too hard since Kaveh is confirmed to have a lower four-star rarity.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
