Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Nilou was a niche character upon release, but with the non-stop wave of new Dendro characters inGenshin Impact, her viability rose massively. However, as she’s a 5-star character, it’s no surprise that not many people own her. Fortunately, for F2P players, there’s now a somewhat-budget-version of Nilou called Kaveh.

Kaveh is a 4-star unit that can enhance Bloom DMG when his Elemental Burst is active. Unfortunately, this effect demands him to have sufficient Energy, which means some of the best weapons for Kaveh inGenshin Impactare Claymores with Energy Recharge.
8Bloodtainted Greatsword
Bloodtainted Greatsword isa 3-starGenshin Impactweaponthat’s good for Kaveh for its Elemental Mastery sub-stat. This Claymoreshould only be used by beginner playersas its performance is far behind higher-star options. Players also likely won’t be able to activate the weapon’s passive as ideally, the enemy should not have Pyro nor Electro aura in a Burgeon, Hyperbloom, or, of course, a normal Bloom team.
7Rainslasher
Rainslasher is an excellent Elemental Mastery stick for Kaveh, but people should be aware of its passive. In a Bloom team,players will play with Hydro characters, butit doesn’t guarantee the enemy will be affected by Hydro. Unless players have sufficient Hydro application to keep the aura up, they shouldn’t hope too much in Rainslasher’s passive.
6Favonius Greatsword
The main star of Kaveh’s kit is his Elemental Burst as it allows him to increase all Bloom DMG generated by the team. However, Kavehwon’t be able to regain his Energywithout having enough Energy Recharge (ER). His Elemental Skill only generates two Energy, and despite its low cooldown, players will suffer if they don’t throw in some ER stats for their Kaveh. This is where Favonius Greatsword comes in. Besides having a massive ER sub-stat, this Claymore will also support the entire team. Just remember to have some Crit Rate stat as the weapon’s passive can’t be triggered without it.
5Katsuragikiri Nagamasa
Players who don’t have Favonius but haveenough Weapon Prototypes inGenshin Impactcan head to Inazuma and get their hands on Katsuragikiri Nagamasa’s blueprint. This Claymore takes Energy when players use Elemental Skill, but will return it two seconds later along with some additional Energy. It’s even possible for people to use Kaveh’s Burst immediately after using his Skill. This way, the game considers that the Energy are spent even though the character still manages to use their ultimate. This will immensely help Kaveh regain his Burst, especially if the Claymore is on max refinement.
4Makhaira Aquamarine
Although it doesn’t contain Energy Recharge, Makhaira Aquamarine is great for its ATK-based-on-Elemental-Mastery boost.

Some of thesebuffs are even bestowed to the entireGenshin Impactteam, making it somewhat supportive.
3Forest Regalia
If players feel like they have excess Energy regeneration, they can forge Forest Regalia instead of Katsuragikiri Nagamasa. This Claymore also has an Energy Recharge sub-stat, but its passive increases Elemental Mastery instead. This Elemental Mastery boost can be used by Kaveh himself or byanother character inGenshin Impact, making it offensive and supportive at the same time.
2Mailed Flower
Mailed Flower is excellent for a split-scaling unit like Kaveh. It increases both Elemental Mastery and ATK,making it an all-rounder Claymore for him. Additionally, the passive also aligns with his 6s cooldown. The fact that it’s a F2P weapon makes it even better.
1Skyward Pride
Skyward Pride provides Energy Recharge and increases universal DMG by 8%. Its passive is usually useless, but since Kaveh will be taking field time after using his Burst, he can easily activate the extra Physical DMG from it. Additionally, as players will be using Kaveh’s Normal hits, Skyward’s high base ATK will come in handy.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
