Tighnari

Dendro Bow Tier S Main DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Tighnari worth building?

Tighnari is an easygoing 5-star Dendro main DPS whose fire-one-shot-and-swap rhythm keeps gameplay relaxed. He shines brightest in Quicken teams alongside Nahida and Fischl. What matters most is a 4pc Deepwood Memories set to shred Dendro RES for the whole team, plus enough Energy Recharge to keep his Burst online. Don't fret over the weapon: the 4-star Scion of the Blazing Sun, or even the 3-star Slingshot, already takes him far. Farm a Dendro goblet, a CRIT circlet, and stack Elemental Mastery first.

Tighnari's talents

Khanda Barrier-Buster
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.

Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, the power of Dendro will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged:
·Charge Level 1: Fires off an arrow carrying the power of flora that deals Dendro DMG.
·Charge Level 2: Fires off a Wreath Arrow that deals Dendro DMG. Upon hit, the Wreath Arrow will create 4 Clusterbloom Arrows that will track nearby opponents automatically and deal Dendro DMG.

Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Vijnana-Phala Mine
Tighnari throws a Vijnana Stormheart ahead that deals AoE Dendro DMG, creating a Vijnana-Khanda Field that creates mysterious illusions that taunt opponents and draw their fire.
Additionally, Tighnari gains the Vijnana Suffusion effect, which will decrease the Wreath Arrow's charging time by 2.4s. This effect will dissipate once the skill duration ends or after Tighnari has fired 3 Wreath Arrows.

"If seeds wither apart from the soil, they will remain a single seed. But if returned to the soil, they shall multiply ten-million fold."
Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft
Combines the power of all seeds to fire 6 Tanglevine Shafts that can track opponents and deal Dendro DMG.
After they hit, the Tanglevine Shafts will create a secondary wave of Tanglevine Shafts that can also track nearby opponents and deal Dendro DMG on hit.

"Do not seek to escape so easily. The vines grow and regrow ever on. Things might get dicey if you don't clear every last one of them out."
Keen Sight
After Tighnari fires a Wreath Arrow, his Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for 4s.
Scholarly Blade
For every point of Elemental Mastery Tighnari possesses, his Charged Attack and Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft DMG are increased by 0.06%.
The maximum DMG Bonus obtainable this way is 60%.
Encyclopedic Knowledge
Displays the location of nearby resources unique to Sumeru on the mini-map.

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with the Elemental Skill (E) Vijnana-Phala Mine: throw the Vijnana Stormheart to create the taunting Vijnana-Khanda Field, gaining Vijnana Suffusion which cuts 2.4s off the charge time of the next 3 Wreath Arrow shots.
  2. While Suffusion is active, fire 3 fast Charge Level 2 Wreath Arrows in a row; each one spawns 4 auto-tracking Clusterbloom Arrows for wide-area Dendro DMG.
  3. Weave in Normal Attacks (up to a 4-hit combo) between Charged Shots to keep uptime and avoid dead time.
  4. After each Wreath Arrow, use the Keen Sight buff (+50 Elemental Mastery for 4s) to boost the extra DMG% from the Scholarly Blade passive on your Charged Attacks and Burst.
  5. Unleash the Elemental Burst (Q) Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft once you've built 40 Energy: it fires 6 tracking Tanglevine Shafts for Dendro DMG, then a secondary wave on hit.
  6. Prioritize triggering elemental reactions (Quicken/Spread/Bloom) with Electro/Hydro/Cryo teammates to amplify Tighnari's constant Dendro application.
  7. As soon as E is off cooldown (12s), recast it to refresh Vijnana Suffusion before looping back into Charged Shots then Burst.
