Genshin Impact 4★ Dendro Claymore Support
Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Kaveh's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. The Unforged, "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" and Wolf's Gravestone come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Kaveh, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Deepwood Memories on Kaveh, with Celestial Gift and Silken Moon's Serenade behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Kaveh, Xingqiu, Nilou and Baizhu, built around Kaveh: Dendro · Bloom.
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 opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field.

Kaveh's outfit. A notable tailor from Treasures Street created these clothes in imitation of the lovely sight of birds extending their wings in flight and would only sell them to those who knew how to appreciate their beauty.

Kaveh is a 4-star Dendro character from Sumeru who uses a claymore, released in version 3.6.
Kaveh's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Skyward Pride is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. "Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword" is the best 4-star alternative.
Deepwood Memories. Its 2-piece bonus is: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%. Its 4-piece bonus is: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Ingenuity among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
Sublime Salutations: Within 3s after using Artistic Ingenuity, Kaveh's Dendro RES and Incoming Healing Bonus will be increased by 50% and 25% respectively.
