Tighnari Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Tighnari is a 5-star Dendro Bow character from Sumeru who excels in the DPS role. Ascending Tighnari grants bonus Dendro DMG Bonus, complementing a stat priority of CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%. For the Dendro Main DPS setup, equip Deepwood Memories (Spire of Solitary Enlightenment) with ATK% or Elemental Mastery Sands, Dendro DMG Bonus Goblet, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet. Hunter's Path (CRIT Rate) is the top recommended weapon, while Prototype Crescent serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

This Main DPS build for Tighnari focuses on increasing his overall damage from all sources. This is the best set for Tighnari only if there are other Dendro characters who can carry the Deepwood Memories set for him.
