+ 3What is the best Tighnari build?
Tighnari is one of two Dendro bow users coming in Version 3.0, the other being Collei. He works best as a DPS, especially utilizing the Dendro Element to its fullest. Here's what we suggest in terms of weapons and artifacts.
What is the best weapon for Tighnari? Tighnari weapon tier list
Tighnari's bow shots have two levels of power, with the second dealing more Dendro damage than the first, while summoning more arrows to attack the target. As a DPS, Tighnari should use weapons that buff attack, crit, or damage rates.
| Rank | Weapon | Skill | Rarity | How to get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Hunter's Path | Crit Rate | 5-Star | Gacha |
| A | Aqua Simulacra | Crit DMG | 5-Star | Gacha |
| B | The Viridescent Hunt | CRIT Rate | 4-Star | Battle Pass |
| C | Prototype Crescent | ATK + | 4-Star | Forge |
What are the Artifacts for Collei?
Tighnari would benefit from the new Dendro Artifact set: Deepwood Memories, or another newcomer, Gilded Dreams. The first set applies a Dendro DMG boost, and the second increases Elemental Mastery.
| Artifact set | 2-piece bonus | 4-piece bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Gilded Dreams | Elemental Mastery +80 | Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. |
| Martial Artist | Increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 15%. | After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 25% for 8s. |

Each Genshin Impact character has two skills and a passive ability. One of the skills takes longer to charge, and is a stronger attack. For Tighnari, these are:
- Skill 1 - Tighnari can throw an AOE Dendro object, generating a field where enemies will be afflicted with Dendro damage.
- Skill 2 - The second skill fires tracking arrows towards enemies, which of course deal Dendro damage.
- Passive - Tighnari's passive skill will show the location of Sumeru-specific resources nearby.
Judging by these skills, especially the passive, it seems that Tighnari is very similar to Inazuma's Gorou, and not just because of the ears.
What is Tighnari's Constellation?
Tighnari's Constellation is Vulpes Zerda - the Latin for 'Fennec Fox'. This is likely what Tighnari's ears and tail are based on, too. A leak has speculated his skills, which are:
- C1 - Charged attack CRIT rate increased by 15%
- C2 - Vijnana-Phala Mine: when enemies enter this field, Tighnari gains 20% Dendro DMG boost.
- C3 - Increases Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft by +3.
- C4 - All party members gain +60 Elemental Master for 8s when Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft is used. If it creates Dendro reactions, and extra +60 is added.
- C5 - Increases Vijnana-Phala Mine by +3.
- C6 - Wreath's Arrow charge time is decreased, and gains an extra hit.
