by Tighnari is the first 5-star character belonging to Sumeru and the first playable Dendro vision wielder we have in Genshin Impact , he has a very entertaining and dynamic style of play.
His set of movements is quite complete: he can create a kind of decoy that will draw the attention of enemies, he can lower the charge time of his Floral Arrows when rolling his Elemental Ability and he has an ultimate that costs very little and we can throw it very quickly. often.
The problem I see with this character is that he is focused on dealing damage to a single enemy, just like Yoimiya, however he is very good against bosses and abyss plants where there are few enemies.
WEAPON AND ELEMENT OF TIGHNARI
In the case of Tighnari, his weapon is a Bow , a weapon that is generally associated with characters with a Support DPS role (although it is not his case).
His element is Dendro and as mentioned before, he is the first playable five-star character to belong to this element.
STATS OF TIGHNARI
These are Tighnari’s stats at level 90, they are very similar to Venti ‘s :
- Base Health: 10,850.
- Base Attack: 267.
- Base Defense: 630.
- Dendro Damage Bonus: 28.8%.
As Tighnari ascends, he will obtain a Dendro Damage Bonus that will not hurt us, since when going to Charged Attacks we will always be doing elemental damage.
Comparing him to other bow DPS like Ganyu or Yoimiya we can see that his Base Attack is a bit lacking, this amount of Basic Attack is more typical of Supports.
TALENTS OR SKILLS
Let’s see your talents or abilities.
NORMAL ATTACK: KHANDA BARRIER BREAKER
In Tighnari’s Charged Attack it changes according to the number of charges we accumulate:
- Normal Attack : Perform a combo of up to four normal attacks.
- Charged Attack : Charges an arrow imbuing it with the Dendro Element for a precise shot.
- Precise Shot (Charge 1) : Fires an arrow imbued in the Dendro element.
- Precise Shot (Charge 2) : Fires a flower arrow that splits into four other inflorescence arrows on impact against the enemy and chase them until they hit them.
- Descending Attack : Dive attack that deals damage in an area.
ELEMENTAL ABILITY: FRUITS OF VIJNANA
- TdE: 12 sec.
- Vijnana Area Duration: 8 s.
- Vijnana Piercing Duration: 12s.
Tighnari throws a Vijnana Core onto the field that will deal Dendro Damage to enemies and will then transform into a Vijnana Area that taunts and pulls enemies towards it.
Additionally, using this Elemental Skill Tighnari will gain the Vijnana Piercing effect, which will reduce the time it takes to charge up his Floral Arrows by 2.4 seconds (this effect will last until Tighnari fires 3 Charged Attacks or the area dissipates).
This ability is really important for him, since his Charged Attacks take a long time to charge up and with the Vijnana Piercing effect we can shoot up to three Flower Arrows consecutively without having to wait practically anything; Finally, clarify that the Vijnana Area does not do damage to enemies and will only attract them.
ULTI: ARTIFICIAL ENTANGLING ARROW
- Energy Cost: 40.
- TdE: 12 sec.
Tighnari fires six Entangling Arrows that chase enemies, creating Secondary Entangling Arrows on impact that chase the enemy again and impact for more damage than the first arrows.
It is an ultimate that has very little waiting time and a very poor elemental cost, we can use it very frequently without much difficulty.
PASSIVE 1: KEEN VISION
Shooting a Floral Arrow will raise Tighnari’s Elemental Mastery by 50 for 4 seconds.
We won’t be able to take much advantage of this passive because it lasts a rather ridiculous amount of time, but it will be useful as long as we have the Vijnana Piercing that allows us to shoot 3 Floral Arrows in a row.
PASSIVE 2: CONNOISSEUR OF FLORA
The damage of Tighnari’s Charged Attack and his Ultimate’s Entangling Arrows will be increased by 0.06% per point of Tighnari’s Elemental Mastery (at most, this damage can be increased by 60% this way).
It’s a really good passive that can greatly increase the damage of both the charged and the ultimate, the damage increase is obtained in a similar way to one of Kazuha ‘s Passive Skills called Haiku of the Breeze (only in her case , he generates elemental bonuses for his companions).
Therefore we are very interested in the Elemental Mastery in Tighnari, but remember that in his case we will also need a good balance between Critical Damage and Critical Chance, so we cannot take him full Elemental Mastery in all his artifacts.
PASSIVE 3: BOTANICAL LORE
With this Passive Ability, Tighnari will show us an icon on the minimap every time we are close to a typical Sumeru object.
It is a very useful talent that will save us time when making routes to get Sumeru’s specialties; it is similar to the talent that Yanfei and Qiqi have in Liyue.
CONSTELLATION
These are the benefits that Tighnari can obtain through his Constellations:
- C1 – Primal Root : The Critical Chance of Tighnari’s Charged Attacks is increased by 15%.
- C2 – Primordial Stem : If there are any enemies within the Vijnana Area of Tighnari’s Elemental Ability, they will receive a 20% bonus to Damage Within (this bonus lasts for up to 6 seconds after the area is dispelled or until there are no more enemies within it).
- C3 – Creative Branches : Increases Ultimate Ability by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C4 – Withered Leaves : When using the Ultimate Ability, the Elemental Mastery of the group increases by 60 points for 8 seconds and if this in turn causes a Burn, Bloom, Haste or Spread Elemental Reaction, the Elemental Mastery will increase by an additional 60 points. and the duration of the bonus will be reset.
- C5 – Flower Awakening : Increases Elemental Skill by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C6 – Karmic Fruit : Reduces the charge time of the Floral Arrow by 0.9 seconds and hitting the enemy will create an additional Inflorescence Arrow that deals damage equal to 150% of Tighnari’s Attack.
From my point of view, Tighnari has some very interesting constellations that will greatly improve its damage, especially the second and fourth.
THE BEST BUILD FOR TIGHNARI (MAIN DPS)
Although it can serve as a Support DPS for Burst due to the low Elemental Energy cost of its ulti and its low cooldown, we will generally use it as a Main DPS focusing on boosting the damage of its charges as much as possible and reducing the charge time of his arrows by using his Elemental Skill constantly.
BEST WEAPONS FOR TIGHNARI
These are the bows that we recommend to equip your Tighnari:
- Path of the Huntress ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Gives her an impressive amount of Critical Chance, a decent elemental damage bonus, and thanks to her Passive Ability, she further boosts Tighnari’s damage based on her Elemental Mastery.
- Celestial Wings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: It has a very high Base Attack and gives us a certain amount of Critical Damage and Critical Chance that will help us focus more on seeking Elemental Mastery in artifacts.
- Demon Slayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : This bow greatly enhances the damage of Charged Attacks, especially if we have the Ultimate Ability charged; As Tighnari has a very low ult cost you will be able to take advantage of this bonus optimally and get the most out of this bow.
- Ultimate Chord ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Provides a good amount of Elemental Mastery for Tighnari and will also boost the damage of his Elemental and Ultimate Abilities.
- Ode to the Wind Flowers ⭐⭐⭐⭐: It will give us a good amount of Elemental Mastery and will raise our Attack every time we perform Tighnari’s Elemental Skill.
- King’s Vassal ⭐⭐⭐⭐: A bow that will give you a good amount of Attack % and provide a moderate amount of Elemental Mastery when using Tighnari’s Elemental Ability.
BEST ARTIFACTS
As for stats on artifacts:
- Helmet or Crown : Critical Chance or Critical Damage.
- Clock : Elemental Mastery.
- Chalice : Dendro Damage Bonus.
Substats you are looking for:
- Priority: Elemental Mastery, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Attack %.
And as for the Artifact Set :
- Wanderer’s Orchestra :
- 2 Pieces : Increases Elemental Mastery by 80 points.
- 4 Pieces : Increases the damage of Charged Attacks by 35%, this effect will only be applied on catalyst users or archers.
The two pieces will give us 80 points of Elemental Mastery, which translates into an improvement to the damage of Charged Attacks of 4.8% and with the bonus of the four pieces we will have a total increase of 39.8% increase to the damage from Charged Attacks permanently, which is quite a lot.
I personally think that Tighnari is much better DPS with this set than with the Golden Dreams set, since this one could at most give Tighnari 150 Elemental Mastery points (in case of having 3 different element teammates, which Tighnari earns plus bring another Dendro character with the Memories of the Forest set that lowers his element resistances) and that translates into a 9% increase to the damage of Charged Attacks while Wanderer’s Orchestra offers us much more.
BEST TEAMMATES
These are some of the characters that can support Tighnari:
- Diona : He will cover the place of Healer in the team and will put us a shield that will protect Tighnari while he loads his arrows; if we are lucky enough to have it C6 we can give Tighnari 200 Elemental Mastery points by using Diona’s ult and thus boost his Charged Attacks.
- Sucrose : If we have a lot of Elemental Mastery in our Sucrose we can share a large part of it with Tighnari to increase the damage of his Charged Attacks.
- Zhongli : It will provide us with a very durable shield that will help us not to be interrupted when charging a Floral Arrow, it will lower the resistance of the enemies with its shield and also if we take it with the Tenacity set of the Geoarmada , it will increase our attack 20% each time his pillar resonates against an enemy (and since Tighnari is short on Attack, it will come in handy).
- Collei : We can take her from Support with the Memories of the Forest set to lower the resistance to Dendro and increase the damage caused to enemies with this element.
- Dendro Traveler : We can replace Collei’s post with Dendro Traveler with the same set of artifacts.
- Yae Miko : It will give us passive damage in the field while generating Elemental Reactions while we carry out charged with Tighnari.
- Fischl : She can serve us as a substitute for Yae Miko by performing the same function.
- Kujou Sara : Since Tighnari has a somewhat low Base Attack, it won’t hurt to use Sara to increase it a bit.
