Tighnari it’s a forest ranger which watches over and protects the Avidya Forest. He is a kind person and occasionally monitors those who are traveling through the forest, pointing their way to the city of Sumeru. Even though she is kind by nature, he doesn’t allow opponents to have their way and won’t hesitate to teach them a lesson. As for undisciplined people, they usually receive the severe lessons from him.

Name / Description Guy
Khanda Barrier-Buster Normal attack
The skill performs up to 4 consecutive shots with the bow.
Charged attack
The skill performs a more accurate aimed shot with increased DMG. While aiming, Dendro’s power will build up on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. It has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged:
Charge level 1: The skill fires an arrow that carries the power of the flora that deals with Dendro DMG.
Charge level 2: The ability fires a Crown Arrow that deals DMG to Dendro. Once hit, the Crown Arrow will create 4 Clusterbloom Arrows that will automatically track nearby opponents and deal DMG to Dendro.
Swoop Attack
The ability shoots a shower of arrows in midair before falling and hitting the ground, dealing area DMG on impact.
Vijnana-Phala mine Elementary Skill
Tighnari launches a Vijnana Stormheart forward that inflicts DAN AoE Dendro, creating a Vijnana-Khanda field that creates mysterious illusions that provoke opponents and draw their fire.
Additionally, Tighnari gains the Vijnana Suffusion effect, which will reduce the recharge time of the Crown Arrow by 2.4 sec. This effect will wear off at the end of the ability’s duration or after Tighnari fires 3 crown arrows.
Fashioner’s Tanglevine Tree Elemental Explosion
The skill combines the power of all suits to fire 6 Tanglevine Shafts that can track opponents and take on Dendro DMG.
Upon striking, Tanglevine Shafts will create a second wave of Tanglevine Shafts which can also track opponents and inflict Dendro DMG on hit.

The best artifacts built for Tighnari in Genshin Impact

In our Genshin Impact guide, we will discuss artifact sets to farm and build for Tighnari.

Main DPS / Sub DPS build

Tighnari is a powerful DPS character that can be played as a main DPS or Sub-DPS character. She will also use the general DPS build, but with minor changes such as using a Attack sands or a EM one. Depending on the build type, it can also switch between them Bonus Goblet Atk% and Dendro DMG, but usually Elemental DMG and a Crit Rate or Crit Damage Circle are preferred.

Tighnari’s main source of damage comes from his Charged Attacks and Elemental Explosions, for which the best artifact sets for him are the Deepwood Memories and Wanderer’s Troupe set. The Deepwood Memories artifact in addition to providing an additional DMG bonus can also destroy the Dendro stamina of targets by a large margin, perfectly complementing Tighanri’s kit.

On the other hand, Wanderer’s Troupe gives him a flat EM buff and an increased attack damage charged for him. He can also use another set of artifacts, Gilded Dreams, depending on the composition of the team.

Deepwood Memoirs

  • Set bonuses
  • 2 pieces: Dendro DMG bonus + 15%.
  • 4 pieces: After elemental abilities or explosions hit opponents, the targets’ Dendro RES will be reduced by 30% for 8 seconds. This effect can be activated even if the character equipping it is not on the battlefield.

Sweet dreams

  • Set bonuses
  • Bonus 2 pieces: Elemental Mastery +80
  • Bonus 4 pieces: Within 8 seconds of activating an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping it will get buffs, based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each party member whose Elemental Type is the same as the character equipping it, and Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for each party member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the aforementioned buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be activated once every 8s. The character who equips it can still activate its effects when not on the field.

Company of the Vagabond

  • Set bonuses
  • Bonus 2 pieces: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
  • Bonus 4 pieces: Increases the DMG of the charged attack by 35% if the character uses a catalyst or bow.

Hybrid Artifact Set

In addition to the 4-piece artifact sets, players can also try the 2-piece hybrid sets, as they are much easier to farm and usually have better secondary stats than those of the 4-piece sets. For Tighnari, players can use 2pc Deepwood Memories + 2pc Wanderer’s Troupe / Gilded Dreams as a hybrid set.

Ranking of potential damage to artifacts

With a heavily invested minimum-maximum, Tighnari artifacts can be classified in this order:

Deepwood Memories> Wayfarer’s Troupe = Golden Dreams> 2 pieces Deepwood’s Memories + 2 pieces Wayfarer’s Troupe / Golden Dreams

Priority to artifact statistics

To maximize the damage potential for any character, the minimum-maximum will always have the utmost importance. Tighnari primarily uses her Elemental Bursts to deal damage, which makes it easier to prioritize which sub-stat should be given priority. Aside from the overall DPS stat, players should aim to exceed the ER% threshold first, because, in optimal spins, its burst is pretty important. Once ER% is not an issue, focus on boosting CR / CD / ATK% / EM as required.

Desired substats: CR% E CD%> ATK% = ER%

Type of artifact Main statistic Priority to secondary stats
Flower HP CR% / CD% = EM = ATK% = ER%
Plume ATK CR% / CD% = EM = ATK% = ER%
Sands ATT% / EM CR% / CD% = EM = ATK% = ER%
Chalice DMG Dendro Bonus% CR% / CD% = EM = ATK% = ER%
Headband CR / CD% CR% / CD% = EM = ATK% = ER%

ER% requirement for Tighnari

Tighnari’s main source of damage comes from his own Elemental Blast and Charged Attacks.

The ER% threshold depends on which team Tighnari is used in, but to be on the safe side, they aim for at least 140% +. His Best in slot weapon will not have Energy recharge as a sub-state, so all ER% must be acquired from artifact substatistics, so farm and level up artifacts accordingly.

The best weapons for Tighnari

The Hunter’s Path is Tighnari’s signature weapon and is by far one of the best weapons for him compared to other five-star alternatives such as Polar Star and Aqua Simulacra. This weapon perfectly improves his skill across the board without a single wasted stat. Other five-star weapons aren’t far behind, but in most situations, Hunter’s Path will usually be on top. In this section of the guide, we will discuss the best weapons for Tighnari in Genshin Impact.
