Learn how to put together the best possible Tighnri build in Genshin Impact
Want to learn how to create the best build for Tighnari in Genshin Impact?The introduction of Tighnari is quite a significant moment forGenshin Impactfans. The first 5-star character from Sumeru as introduced in Version 3.0, Tighnari is also the first Dendro 5-star (other than theTraveler). What’s more, once his initial event banner ends in the gacha, he’ll be the first 5-star since the game launched to join the standard wish pool, meaning that he’ll be constantly available, though at a trade-off of a significantly reduced drop-rate.
In other words, Tighnari is here to stay, and he’ll occasionally crop up in banner pulls for a long time to come. So read on for details of our favourite build for Tighnari, including his best weapons, artifacts, party members, and more.

How to build Tighnari as main DPS in Genshin Impact
Best weapon: Hunter’s Path
4-star alternative:The Viridescent Hunt
While it isn’t quite as powerful as his signature weapon,The Viridescent Huntmakes a decent 4-star substitute for Tighnari (as well as still being surprisingly on-theme for him… it’s still a green hunter’s bow, after all). With this bow, normal and aimed shots have a 50% chance of generating a Cyclone effect which draws in opponents, dealing continuous damage to them based on 40% of Tighnari’s ATK strength for the next 4 seconds.
Best artifacts: Martial Artist
At a 4-star rarity, Tighnari’s best artifact set is refreshingly easy to obtain. Given the almost unique power of his charged attack, it’d just be a shame not to put any pieces of the Martial Artist set you have towards Tighnari’s build. If you can, try to cap off the set with the following stats and substats on the artifacts:
Talent priority: Khanda Barrier-Buster (Normal Attack)
Secondary:Fashioner’s Tanglevine Shaft (Elemental Burst)
Tighnari’s full list of talents are as follows:
Party composition
5-star alternative:Zhongli replacing Shinobu in the support role
To make Tighnari’s elemental attacks as effective as possible, placing him on a team that’s 50/50 Dendro/Electro will allow you to repeatedly triggerQuicken, Spread, and Aggravate elemental reactions.FischlandColleiin a joint-sub-DPS position can help with continuous debuff applications, while Shinobu can both provide Electro debuffs and provide healing. Alternatively, if you haveZhongliin your archive, he can provide a strong shield without risking interference with the elemental reactions (since Geo doesn’t react with either Dendro or Electro).
How to level up Tighnari in Genshin Impact
Ascension Materials
To fully ascend Tighnari, you’ll need the following materials:
Talents
To fully level up one of Tighnari’s talents, you’ll need the following materials. (If you choose to triple crown all three of his talents, you’ll need to collect all of this three times over!)
Constellations
It’s generally inadvisable to rely too much on a 5-star character’s Constellations for their build, since the investment of both time and money required to pull six duplicates from the gacha makes the prospect, if not unattainable, then at least unreliable for most players. However, there is a bit of a silver lining where Tighnari’s concerned: only his first two Constellations directly support his primary use as a DPS, while higher Constellations give him more versatility as a sub-DPS or support character. So unless you’re actively planning on an unusual build for Tighnari, you can definitely afford to leave him at C2, even if you choose to invest more wishes into him.
How to get Tighnari in Genshin Impact
Tighnari is a 5-star character who was previously available on his ownCharacter Event Wish banner,Viridescent Vigil. However, instead of getting intermittent reruns in the gacha, he joined the standard wish pool as a permanent addition from Version 3.1 onwards — the first 5-star character to do so since the game’s release. From now on, therefore, he’ll be available any time you pull on the Wanderlust Invocation (standard wish) banner, and will also be a non-promoted character on all Character Event Wish banners.
Unfortunately, this means that there’s no way to guarantee pulling Tighnari — the best you can do is keep track of yourpityand hope you get lucky. On the plus side, though, any wish on a banner that includes 5-star characters now has a small but real chance of pulling Tighnari for you.
