Genshin Tighnari Build & Teams: 5-Star Dendro Bow DPS · Spread Quick-Swap · Deepwood Memories
Quick Answer
- Tighnari is a 5★ Dendro Bow (Sumeru Forest Watcher) quick-swap DPS; core = Skill cuts charge time then fires Clusterbloom Wreath Arrows.
- Core artifacts: Deepwood Memories 4pc (team Dendro RES −30%) or Gilded Dreams 4pc (EM + ATK); Wanderer's Troupe as generic.
- Main stats: EM or ATK% Sands / Dendro DMG Goblet / CRIT Circlet.
- Substats: CRIT > EM (300–500) > ATK% > ER (40-cost Burst).
- Key: ASC gives Dendro DMG and his A4 scales off EM — EM is the stat right after CRIT.
- Best teams: Tighnari + Yae Miko/Fischl + Nahida + Zhongli (Aggravate), Tighnari + Fischl + Kuki + Kazuha (Hyperbloom).
- Weapon "Hunter's Path" fits best; F2P use "The Stringless" or 3★ "Slingshot".
Role & Kit
Tighnari's damage comes from charged shots and a quick-swap loop:
- Charged Shot "Clusterbloom Wreath Arrow": at full charge fires a Wreath Arrow that spawns 4 homing Clusterbloom arrows — his main damage.
- Skill "Vijnana-Phala Mine": throws a taunting field and grants "Vijnana Suffusion" that cuts charge time by 2.4s — the key to his 3-shot quick-swap.
- Burst "Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft": fires 6 arrows, then 6 more on hit, covering Oz/Electro for Aggravate.
- Prioritize EM and CRIT; his 40-cost Burst is easy to upkeep.

Teams
Aggravate (core)
Tighnari + Yae Miko/Fischl + Nahida + Zhongli
- Dendro resonance boosts EM, Electro triggers Spread, Zhongli shields his aimed shots.
Hyperbloom
Tighnari + Fischl + Kuki + Kazuha
- Mixes Spread and Hyperbloom, stronger vs groups.
Dual-Dendro quick-swap
Tighnari + Nahida + Fischl + flex
- High-frequency burst rotation.
Constellations
- C0: complete; as a standard-banner unit there is no need to chase constellations.
- C1: +15% CRIT Rate on charged shots — easier to hit stat goals.
- C6: extra Clusterbloom arrows — big boost to charged-shot spam.

FAQ
Is Tighnari still worth building?
Yes. C0 is complete and he is easy to get from the standard banner; his Aggravate teams handle both single and group targets with relaxed play.
Should I stack EM on Tighnari?
Yes. Spread scales directly with EM; aim for 300–500, then top up CRIT.
How much Energy Recharge?
His Burst costs 40; with dual Dendro ~130–140%, as the only Dendro ~150–160%.
What is his best weapon?
Hunter's Path fits best; without a 5★ use Aqua Simulacra or Polar Star, F2P use The Stringless or R5 Slingshot.
What teams is he good in?
Spread/Quicken is core; he also fits Hyperbloom and dual-Dendro quick-swap.
