Is Kaveh DPS or support in Genshin Impact? Abilities and role explained

sportskeeda.com:

Kaveh's role in Genshin Impact is damage-oriented. He is typically considered an on-field character who frequently bursts Dendro Cores. This 4-star Dendro Claymore user has a very unique set of skills. For example, both his Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill instantly burst nearby Dendro Cores, which means you would typically use him alongside at least one Hydro character.

This is because Bloom is an Elemental Reaction that creates Dendro Cores. Since much of Kaveh's kit is based around exploding those objects, it only makes sense to build him with Elemental Mastery in mind.

The above trailer shows some official gameplay featuring Kaveh in Genshin Impact. This, combined with what has been revealed about the character via leaks, paints a picture of him being DPS-oriented.

Here is what Kaveh's abilities do:

Apart from the minor utility Passive tied to Furnishings, everything else in the base kit revolves around Kaveh's damage or his own personal sustain. Some initial Genshin Impact leaks indicated he would be a support unit for Alhaitham, but the revealed content suggests otherwise.

Kaveh's Constellations make him a DPS unit. Here is what each one does:

Once again, nothing about his Constellations would suggest that Kaveh supports his team beyond just doing more damage. Neither his Constellations nor his base kit does. Ergo, players shouldn't look at him like a traditional support character.

Ultimately, Kaveh should be useful in Bloom teams that can easily create Dendro Cores.

This character's main utility in Genshin Impact is to explode those Dendro Cores. He doesn't provide much else past, apart from some minor buffs to his own stats.
