Tighnari in Genshin Impact: Best Builds for Artifacts and Weapons, Talents, Abilities, Constellations and Tactics

Following the release of the 3.0 update in Genshin Impact, new characters have become available. Among them is Tighnari, a five-star Dendro archer. In this guide, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this hero, as well as describe the necessary resources for his leveling.

Tighnari's banner first appeared in the game on August 24, 2022. However, it is certain that the hero will appear in other events when a thematic banner is available.

Tighnari is a botanist-scientist who graduated from Amurta and now serves as a forest guard in Avidya. He patrols the tropical forest and protects it from the detrimental influence of humans. If you find yourself in trouble, Tighnari will always help you. However, the guy is extremely strict with those who are to blame for their predicament. Such people can expect a long and detailed lecture on surviving in the wild.

Tighnari is a Dendro element character, which became available after the 3.0 update. In brief, such fighters are especially effective when combined with fire (Pyro), water (Hydro), and electricity (Electro). Tighnari can be used as a main attacking character or as a hero specializing in dealing additional damage.

For the new constellation, you will need this character's Luck. You get it if you draw the hero again during wishes. We have described all of Tighnari's constellation upgrades below:

When your character reaches level 20, their progression will halt. To increase the hero's level, an ascension process is required. The following resources are needed:

Additionally, 3 Slivers can be crafted into a Fragment, 3 Fragments into a Chunk, and 3 Chunks into a Precious Nagadus Emerald.

Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen, and Crystalline Cyst Dust drop from Floating Hydro Fungi. Refer to our map to find them.

If desired, Luminescent Pollen can be crafted from 3 Fungal Spores, and Crystalline Cyst Dust from 3 units of Pollen.

Weapons

Hunter's Path. Tighnari's signature weapon. It increases elemental damage by 12-24%. Hitting an enemy with the first charged attack increases damage from subsequent ones by 160-320% of elemental mastery. The effect ends after 10 seconds or after 12 activations. The skill's cooldown is 12 seconds. This weapon can be obtained through the Divine Ingenuity prayer.

Polar Star. Another good bow for dealing maximum damage. It increases elemental burst and elemental skill damage by 12-24%. Additionally, when you hit an enemy, the Polar Night Star effect occurs. Each subsequent attack on the enemy will increase its level until it reaches the 4th. Levels for different types of skills are accumulated independently. The 1st level increases your damage by 10-20%, the 2nd by 20-40%, the 3rd by 30-60%, and the 4th by 48-96%. To get the Polar Star, use the Divine Ingenuity prayer.

Aqua Simulacra. Suitable for those who use Tighnari as a support hero. The weapon increases the hero's health by 16-32% and attack by 20-40%, even when the character is off-field. It can be obtained through the Divine Ingenuity prayer.

Artifacts

Deepwood Memories. The best artifact set for Tighnari. Two pieces from this set increase Dendro damage by 15%. Four artifacts reduce the enemy's resistance by 30% for 6 seconds if you hit them with an elemental burst or skill. The effect occurs even if Tighnari is not on the field. Items from this set can be found in the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment dungeon. Its location is indicated on the map.

Wanderer's Troupe. Also a good choice for Tighnari. Two artifacts from this set increase elemental mastery by 80. Four pieces from this set increase charged attack damage by 35%. They can be obtained from bosses such as the Wolf Lord, Thunder Manifestation, Signora, Stormterror, and others.

Pros:

Cons:

When playing Tighnari, it's important to choose a hero of the correct element. Your combined attacks should create elemental reactions. Use the elemental skill and burst, then hit the enemy with enhanced charged attacks. The damage from these will compensate for the time spent preparing. Don't forget to create crystals using Geo characters for protection and heal in time.

Team with an Electro character (Catalyst reaction):

Team with a Pyro character (Burning reaction):

Team with Hydro and Pyro characters (Bloom reaction):
