Best Tighnari builds in Genshin Impact

Artifacts

The optimal build for Tighnari in Genshin Impact depends on the player’s team composition and specific needs. However, in general, Elemental Mastery is a stat to look for as his Talents benefit from that. Here are the suggested artifact sets for Tighnari:

• 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe
• 2-piece Wanderer’s Troupe + 2-piece Deepwood Memories
• 4-piece Gilded Dreams
• 4-piece Deepwood Memories

Weapons

There are some good weapon options for Tighnari, including F2P and 5-star weapons:

• Hunter’s Path: The BiS weapon for Tighnari, with a 44.1% CRIT Rate and Elemental Damage bonus passive tailored for Tighnari.
• Aqua Simulacra: It boosts Crit DMG with its substat hence the DPS
• Elegy of the End: Although Tighnari doesn’t need Energy Recharge, the Elemental Mastery passive is a very useful bonus.
• Polar Star: CRIT Rate sub-stat with Elemental Skill bonus
• Windblume Ode: It was a free weapon from a limited event, that boosts EM.

Team recommendations

In Genshin Impact, various viable team compositions can be built around Tighnari, each catering to different gameplay styles and needs.

• Quicken team: Tighnari + Collei + Kuki Shinobu + Fischl
• Aggravate team: Tighnari + Keqing + Fischl + Kazuha

Electro goes the best with Tighnari as he shines the best in Quicken, Quickswap, and Aggravate teams. The above team combinations consist of some of the best sample characters for the reactions. Players can replace them with similar characters based on availability and build.

Age of Tighnari in Genshin Impact

Regrettably, HoYOverse does not provide specific birth years for characters when announcing their birthdays. As a result, age estimates for characters are usually derived from storylines, lore, and character designs. Based on this approach, it is reasonable to estimate Tighnari’s age to be between 20 and 25 years old. During the v3.5 Windblume Festival, Cyno states that he is older than Tighnari when asked by Albedo.

Tighnari celebrates his birthday on December 29. Just like other characters in the game, on his birthday this year, players were rewarded with gifts- 1 Forest Watchers Choice, 10 Crystal Core, and 2 Spice.

Every Ascension Material needed to level up Tighnari

In addition to Mora and EXP books, Tighnari requires specific ascension materials to reach level 90, which include:

• Nagadus Emerald
  • 1 Sliver
  • 9 Fragments
  • 9 Chunks
  • 6 Gemstones
• Fungi drop
  • 18 Fugal Spores
  • 30 Luminescent Pollen
  • 36 Crystalline Cyst Dust
• 168 Nilotpala Lotus
• 46 Majestic Hooked Beak

Nagadus Emerald can be obtained by defeating Normal Bosses and Weekly Bosses which drop the Dendro gemstones, such as:

• Dendro Hypostasis
• Jadeplume Terrorshroom
• The Realm of Beginnings

To gather Fungi drops for Tighnari’s ascension, players can engage and defeat Fungi, an enemy found in the region of Sumeru. These drops come in different types such as Fugal Spores, Luminescent Pollen, and Crystalline Cyst Dust, each with varying degrees of rarity. To assist in locating Fungi and acquiring the required drops, players can utilize the in-game Handbook or Teyvat Interactive Map available on HoYoLAB.

The Teyvat Interactive Map is indeed a useful resource for players to locate Nilotpala Lotus, which is a local specialty found near water bodies in Sumeru. The interactive map can provide precise locations to aid players in their search.

Furthermore, to acquire Majestic Hooked Beak, players must engage in battle and emerge victorious against the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, which can be found in the Vissudha Field, Sumeru.

Useful Information about Tighnari

Tighnari’s Constellations offer significant improvements to his overall performance, particularly enhancing his Burst damage and subsequently elevating his DPS capabilities. While unlocking his Constellations is not mandatory for using Tighnari effectively, they do provide substantial benefits that can enhance his damage output and overall effectiveness in battle. Players who invest in Tighnari’s Constellations will experience a noticeable boost in his performance as a powerful DPS character.

It is also important to note that Tighnari has a Story Quest available for players to experience. This quest becomes accessible upon completing Chapter III-Act II of the Sumeru storyline, titled ” The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings: Denouement,” and reaching Adventure Rank 40.

To initiate the Story Quest, players will need a Story Key, which can be obtained by completing a sufficient number of Daily Quests. This provides an additional narrative experience and opportunities to delve deeper into Tighnari’s story and character development. In fact, the story provides quite an emotional base as a narrative that players wouldn’t want to miss out on.

The release of Tighnari in HoYoverse generated mixed reviews among the fanbase, particularly regarding his utilization. However, he has proven himself to be quite outstanding in certain teams, especially with proper reactions.
