Dendro
Claymore
Kaveh
Empyrean Reflection
Sumeru's renowned architect is an on-field Dendro driver for Bloom teams. His Skill and Burst instantly burst Dendro Cores, his Burst infuses his attacks with Dendro and boosts Core damage (including Cores from Lunar-Bloom), and he heals himself whenever Core damage hits him. Low personal damage and heavy Energy needs keep him a niche pick in 7.1.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- Energy Recharge 210%+ as the only Dendro (160–200% with Favonius Greatsword), about 145–165% alongside Nahida (120–130% with Favonius)
- Elemental Mastery 700+ (up to 900 in Nilou Bloom)
- CRIT Rate 40–50% with Favonius Greatsword
Talent priority
Level him to 90: the Bloom damage he triggers scales with his level. Take a Dendro DMG goblet only if you play him for personal damage in Spread teams.
Recommended teams
Nilou Bloom
Kaveh drives Dendro on-field and bursts Cores; Nahida handles Deepwood and extra application.
Lunar-Bloom with Lauma
Lauma turns Blooms into Lunar-Bloom and buffs the whole Bloom family; Kaveh's Burst still boosts the Dendro Cores and he heals from them.
Hyperbloom
Raiden Shogun turns the Cores into Hyperbloom, Baizhu adds sustain and a second Dendro source.
How to play
How he works
- Artistic Ingenuity (Skill) deals AoE Dendro DMG and makes every Dendro Core in range burst immediately.
- Painted Dome (Burst) deals AoE Dendro DMG, bursts nearby Cores and, while he stays on-field, gives him a Dendro Infusion that cannot be overridden, a larger attack AoE, more interruption resistance, and extra DMG for all Dendro Cores created by the party through Bloom and Lunar-Bloom.
- An Architect's Undertaking: whenever Dendro Core DMG (including Hyperbloom and Burgeon) hits him, he heals for 300% of his Elemental Mastery.
- A Craftsman's Curious Conceptions: during Painted Dome, his hits stack up to +100 Elemental Mastery.
Rotation
- Set up your Hydro teammates (Nilou, Xingqiu, Kokomi…).
- Q, then E, and chain Normal Attacks to apply Dendro and create Cores.
- Use E again to burst Cores instantly when they pile up.
Energy is his main problem: without Favonius Greatsword or a second Dendro unit he needs a lot of Energy Recharge to burst every rotation.
Strengths
- Bursts Dendro Cores on demand, great in AoE
- Heals himself from Core damage
- Uninterruptible Dendro Infusion during his Burst
Weaknesses
- Very high Energy Recharge requirements
- Low personal damage
- Outclassed by Nilou, Nahida and the Lunar-Bloom core in most Bloom teams
Notable dupes · Constellation
+50% Dendro RES and +25% Incoming Healing for 3s after his Skill: much safer when bursting Cores.
+60% DMG for Cores created by Blooms he triggers himself; limited value in most teams.
Pairidaeza's Light every 3s during his Burst: extra Dendro application and Core bursts.
