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 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.
