As one of thefew Dendro charactersavailable in the game, Tighnari is the strongest as the Main DPS and can deal significant Dendro damage while creating Elemental Reactions. With this in mind, here is how you may build him to max out his abilities.
Tighnari Best Builds & Artifact Sets
Tighnari is strongest in the role ofthe Main DPSdue to thestrength of his Charged Attacks and the considerable amount of Dendro DMG from his Elemental Burst.His Elemental Burst will shoot out 6 Tanglevine Shafts, and once they hit an opponent, a second wave will go out and track opponents. It’s recommended that youfocus on increasing Tighnari’s Dendro DMGas much as possible when choosing an artifact set for him, as well as adding in ATK% and Elemental Mastery. Here is the best Artifact Set for him.
4-Set Of Deepwood Memories
A 2-Set of Deepwood Memories will give a base increase of 15 percent to Tighnari’s Dendro DMG Bonus. With a 4-Set, after an Elemental Skill or Burst hits an enemy, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30 percent for 8 seconds. This can be triggered even if Tighnari is not on the field. This set is perfect for Tighnari due to his high Dendro DMG output. His strongest attacks, hisCharged Attack and Elemental Burstfocus on the use of Dendro DMG, somaking sure to decrease enemies' resistance to this element is crucial.When building up this Artifact Set, here are the best Main Stats and Substats you should choose.
Type of Artifact
Sands of Eon
ATK% or Elemental Mastery
CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Elemental Mastery, ATK%
Goblet of Eonothem
Dendro DMG Bonus
Circlet of Logos
CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate
Tighnari possesses a Passive Skill that allows him toincrease the damage from his Charged Attack and Elemental Burst by 0.06 percent for every point of Elemental Mastery he holds.Due to this, It’s important to add Elemental Mastery to your build, but keep in mind Tighnari has another Passive Skill thatincreases his Elemental Mastery by 50 for 4 seconds every time he shoots a Wreath Arrowor a Charged Arrow. If you plan to use his Charged Attack frequently, you won’t need to build up your Elemental Mastery as much as those that plan on using his Elemental Burst the most.
