Tighnari's standard build revolves around him doing his Skill, Three Clusterbloom Arrows, an Burst, and promptly swapping out to another character.
There are three recommended combos that Tighnari can perform:
- This is the most mechanically difficult combo. However, this combo allows Tighnari to have both his Burst affected by A1 and funnel particles from his Skill to his next Burst.
- Allows Tighnari's Burst to benefit from A1. However, this combo doesn't allow Tighnari to funnel particles from his Skill into his next Burst.
- Simplest combo to use, and generally weakest combo though it allows prefunneling. His Burst does not benefit from A1 in this combo. It is recommended at [C4] due to the Elemental Mastery buff.
Regarding Weapon Choices:
The First Great Magic: Weapon ranking is assuming two Gimmick stacks. It performs a bit worse in solo Dendro, but still remains a good option.
Elegy for the End: If Tighnari does not need the Energy Recharge that provides, this weapon will perform worse than for his personal damage.
Fading Twilight: If Tighnari does not need the Energy Recharge this weapon provides, it is similar to in terms of damage.
Scion of the Blazing Sun: At [R5] this weapon is slightly worse than .
Slingshot: Significantly worse when fighting from a long range.
Range Gauge: This weapon is strong if you can get three passive stacks. At [R5] with three passive stacks, this weapon performs similarly to .
Song of Stillness: Weapon ranking assumes passive is active. At [R5], it performs similarly to .
Prototype Crescent: At [R5], this weapon is better than . Notably, this weapon is heavily reliant on enemies having weakspots.
Regarding Artifact Choices:
Energy Recharge: It is usually beneficial for Tighnari to use his Burst every time he uses his Skill if possible. His Energy Recharge needs vary widely, but provided they are low enough to be reachable, Bursting every Skill is a large DPS increase.
Sets
Gilded Dreams (4): This set becomes slightly better than if Tighnari uses his Burst every time he uses his Skill.
Deepwood Memories (4): This is by far Tighnari's best set if no one else on the team is using it.
