Tighnari is a powerful Dendro user who really shines in the Charged Attack category in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything you need to know about correctly building him.

Introduced in August 2022, Tighnari marked the first playable 5-star Dendro character after a highly anticipated wait. This bow user serves as the Chief Officer of the Forest Rangers who lives in the Sumeru region’s Avidya Forest.

In terms of combat, Tighnari is exceptional at dishing out Charged Attacks, and his low-cost Elemental Burst makes him a great asset to anyone’s team.

Normal Attack: Khanda Barrier-Buster

  • Normal Attack: Perform up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
  • Charged Attack:
  • Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While Aiming, the power of Dendro will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged:
    • Charge Level 1: Fires off an arrow carrying the power of flora that deals Dendro DMG.
    • Charge Level 2: Fires off a Wreath Arrow that deals Dendro DMG. Upon hit, the Wreath Arrow will create 4 Clusterbloom Arrows that will track nearby opponents automatically and deal Dendro DMG.
  • Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Vijnana-Phala Mine

Tighnari throws a Vijnana Stormheart ahead that deals AoE Dendro DMG, creating a Vijnana-Khanda Field which summons strange illusions to taunt enemies and draw their fire. Additionally, Tighnari gainst the Vijnana Suffusion effect, which will decrease the next Wreath Arrow’s charging time by 2.4 seconds. This effect will dissipate once the skill duration ends or after Tighnari has fired 3 Wreath Arrows.

Elemental Burst: Fashioner’s Tanglevine Shaft

Combines the power of all seeds to fire 6 Tanglevine Shafts that can track opponents and deal Dendro DMG. After they hit, the Tanglevine Shafts will create a secondary wave of Tanglevine Shafts that can also track opponents and deal Dendro DMG on hit.

Lucky enough to pull multiple copies of Tighnari? Here are what buffs you can expect from his Constellations:

  • Level One – Beginnings Determined at the Roots: Tighnari’s Charged Attack CRIT Rate is increased by 15%.
  • Level Two – Origins Known From the Stem: When there are opponents within the Vijnana-Khanda Field created by Vijnana-Phala Mine, Tighnari gains 20% Dendro DMG Bonus.The effect will last up to 6s if the field’s duration ends or if it no longer has opponents with it.

  • Level Four – Withering Glimpsed in the Leaves: When Fashioner’s Tanglevine Shaft is unleashed, all nearby party members gain 60 Elemental Mastery for 8s. If the Fashioner’s Tanglevine Shaft triggers a Burning, Bloom, Quicken, or Spread reaction, their Elemental Mastery will be further increased by 60. This latter case will also refresh the buff state’s duration.

Best Tighnari Artifacts in Genshin Impact

We recommend using the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set on Tighnari to increase his Dendro DMG bonus. After hitting an enemy with either an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, you can decrease their Dendro RES by 30% for eight seconds.

Alternatively, you could run the 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe to really focus on Tighnari’s powerful Charged Attacks. This set will not only improve his Elemental Mastery by 80 but will also increase his Charged Attack DMG by 35%.

Lastly, you could place the 4-piece Gilded Dreams set on Tighnari if you’re looking to receive ATK and Elemental Mastery buffs after triggering an Elemental Reaction.

Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field.

Best Tighnari weapons

The best weapon for Tighnari to use is the 5-star Hunter’s Path. This bow will grant a 12% Elemental Bonus to the character in addition to increasing his Charged Attack DMG by 160% of his Elemental Mastery.

Another 5-star option is Aqua Simulacra in order to improve Tighnari’s HP by 16%, alongside a 20% DMG increase when enemies are nearby. This effect can activate whether Tighnari is on the field or not.

If you don’t have either 5-star weapon, we suggest running Scion of the Blazing Sun to deal 60% ATK as DMG after hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack.

Tighnari Genshin Impact trailer

In August 2022, HoYoverse posted a character demo for Tighnari on its official YouTube channel. You can watch it below:

Best Tighnari team comp

A screenshot from the game Genshin Impact

The best team composition for Tighnari would feature Yae Miko and Fischl to activate the Spread Elemental Reaction. To guarantee the Dendro-related reaction, we recommend having either a Geo or Anemo character in the fourth slot. We suggest either Zhongli or Kazuha for this role.

Instead of Zhongli, you could also run Nahida with the Deepwood Memories set to ensure Spread and Aggravate Elemental Reactions.
