Who Is Tighnari?

Tighnari is a 5-star Dendro Bow character from Sumeru, released in Version 3.0 (August 24, 2022). He is a Forest Watcher and the first Dendro DPS in the game, specializing in Charged Attacks that fire Wreath Arrows dealing Dendro DMG and spawning tracking Clusterbloom Arrows. His gameplay revolves around quick-swap rotations where he fires charged shots, deploys his Skill, and exits — making him ideal for Quicken (Spread) teams.

Set	Bonus	When to Use
4pc Deepwood Memories	Dendro DMG +15%; reduces enemy Dendro RES by 30%	Default pick if no teammate holds it.

Main Stats

Slot	Main Stat
Sands	ATK% / Elemental Mastery
Goblet	Dendro DMG Bonus
Circlet	CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

Substats Priority: Energy Recharge (until requirement) > CRIT Rate/DMG (1:2 ratio) > ATK% / Elemental Mastery

Energy Recharge Requirements:

Team Type	ER Needed
2 Skills per Burst	100–110%
1 Skill per Burst (with Dendro teammate)	130–140%
1 Skill per Burst (no Dendro ally)	150–160%

Best Weapons

Weapon	Rarity	Why
Hunter's Path	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Signature weapon. CRIT Rate substat and DMG% passive perfectly tailored to Charged Attacks.
Aqua Simulacra	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Strong CRIT DMG substat. Maintain distance for passive activation.
Polar Star	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Easy passive stacks. Add one Normal Attack on entry to maximize.
Slingshot	⭐⭐⭐	Best F2P option at R5. Competitive DPS baseline for Charged Attack builds.

Constellations

Constellation	Effect	Value
C0	Fully functional baseline. Core kit intact.	—
C2 — Origins Known From the Stem	+20% Dendro DMG while enemies are in the Vijnana-Khanda Field.	~15.7% DMG gain.
C6 — Karma Adjudged From the Leaden Fruit	Wreath Arrow charge time −0.9s + 1 extra Clusterbloom Arrow (150% ATK).	Huge personal DMG spike (~+73%).

Recommendation: C0 is fully functional. C6 is the transformative stopping point. Tighnari is a standard banner character — constellations cannot be actively targeted, so chasing them is not recommended.

Summary

Tighnari is a quick-swap Dendro DPS whose Wreath Arrows and Clusterbloom Arrows deliver consistent Dendro DMG in Quicken teams. His A4 passive scales DMG off Elemental Mastery, making EM a valuable stat alongside CRIT. Build him with 4pc Deepwood Memories (or Wanderer's Troupe if covered elsewhere) and prioritize CRIT stats on Circlet. Hunter's Path is his best weapon, but Slingshot at R5 is a strong F2P alternative. Take him to Lv.90 to maximize Spread DMG. At C0 he is fully functional, and as a standard banner character, his constellations are not worth chasing.
