- Ascension stat: Elemental Mastery
A renowned architect from Sumeru who perhaps cares a bit too much about too many things. He is an aesthete troubled by reality.
What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Ingenuity, open Tuesday, Friday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Artistic Ingenuity
Uses Mehrak's mapping ability for offensive purposes, initiating a radial scan that deals AoE Dendro DMG. It will also scan all Dendro Cores in its AoE and cause them to immediately burst.
Mehrak was created through the modification of ancient technology and may have some other functions apart from mapping work...

Painted Dome
Completely unleashes Mehrak's energy and creates a cubic scanned space, dealing AoE Dendro DMG to all opponents within it, causing all Dendro Cores in its AoE to immediately burst, and granting Kaveh the following enhanced combat abilities for a specific duration:
· Increases Kaveh's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack AoE, and converts his attack DMG to Dendro DMG that cannot be overridden.
· All Dendro Cores created by all your own party members through Bloom and Lunar-Bloom reactions will deal additional DMG when they burst.
· Increases Kaveh's resistance to interruption.
These effects will be canceled once Kaveh leaves the field.
"Every building style includes the architect's unique worldview, and from this angle, one can say that the buildings themselves are coalescences of human memories."

Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Claymores of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.
| Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK at 90 | Secondary stat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Wolf's Gravestone | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 The Unforged | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 Royal Greatsword | 4★ | 565 | ATK% |
 Prototype Archaic | 4★ | 565 | ATK% |
 Mailed Flower | 4★ | 565 | Elemental Mastery |
 Fruitful Hook | 4★ | 565 | ATK% |
 Earth Shaker | 4★ | 565 | ATK% |
 Blade of Atonement | 4★ | 565 | ATK% |
| Set | Two-piece | Four-piece |

| Deepwood Memories | Dendro DMG Bonus +15%. | 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. |
To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
