Tighnari Best Constellations

Vulpes Zerda

Constellation and Effects

	Tighnari's Constellations
C1	Beginnings Determined at the Roots Tighnari's Charged Attack CRIT Rate is increased by 15%.
C2	Origins Known From the Stem When there are opponents within the Vijnana-Khanda Field created by Vijnana-Phala Mine, Tighnari gains 20% Dendro DMG Bonus.The effect will last up to 6s if the field's duration ends or if it no longer has opponents with it.
C3	Fortunes Read Amongst the Branches Increases the Level of Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Withering Glimpsed in the Leaves When Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft is unleashed, all nearby party members gain 60 Elemental Mastery for 8s. If the Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft triggers a Burning, Bloom, Quicken, or Spread reaction, their Elemental Mastery will be further increased by 60. This latter case will also refresh the buff state's duration.
C5	Comprehension Amidst the Flowers Increases the level of Vijnana-Phala Mine by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Karma Adjudged From the Leaden Fruit Wreath Arrow's charging time is decreased by 0.9s, and will produce 1 additional Clusterbloom Arrow upon hit. This arrow deals 150% of Tighnari's ATK as DMG.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C2	★★★	• Provides a big damage boost for Tighnari, on top of the increased CRIT Rate for C1.
C4	★★☆	• Lets Tighnari become a viable Sub-DPS and Support.

C2 is a Good Stopping Point

Tighnari's second constellation provides a very high damage increase for his kit. It is a good idea to stop pulling on his banner after his unlocking C2, unless you want to turn him into a more Burst Support-oriented role with his fourth constellation.

How to Use Tighnari

Seek Out Enemies with Charged Attacks

Tighnari's Charged Attack is different compared to most bow users. Like Ganyu, Tighnari has two levels of Charged Attacks.

Two Levels of Charged Attacks

Level 1 allows him to deal Dendro DMG with a single shot. Level 2 fires off a Wreath Arrow that creates 4 other Clusterbloom Arrows that home in on enemies, dealing Dendro DMG.

Elemental Skill Taunts Enemies

Tighnari's Elemental Skill, Vijnana-Phala Mine, summons a Vijnana Stormheart that deals AoE Dendro DMG and taunt enemies inside the field.

Decreases Charged Attack Time

Whenever Tighnari uses his Elemental Skill, his next Charged Attack Level 2 will charge up quicker. The effect will last until Tighnari has managed to fire three Wreath Arrows.

Deal Big Damage with Elemental Burst

Tighnari's Elemental Burst, Fashioner’s Tanglevine Shaft, fires Tanglevine Shafts that can track opponents and deal Dendro DMG. When they hit, the Tanglevine Shafts fire a secondary wave that will also track enemies.

Exploration Talent tracks Local Specialties

Tighnari's Encyclopedic Knowledge talent will be very useful when you start exploring Sumeru as it can track Local Specialties exclusive to Sumeru.

Thoughts About Tighnari

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Alhaitham	Apparently, a lot of people think he has a bad temperament, but I don't think they're giving him a fair chance. When Kaveh built a house right over a Withering Zone and created a huge mess, it ended up being a real headache for the Forest Rangers. Even so, this Forest Ranger didn't hold it against Kaveh. He even invited Kaveh to his house for a meal. Hmm, maybe it's good people like him who allow people like Kaveh to survive.
Baizhu	Ah, so you have an acquaintance from the Sumeru Akademiya? In that case, could I trouble you to introduce me to this Tighnari? I have many questions about herbal medicine that I would like to ask him.
Collei	Although Master can be quite stern and is always criticizing adventurers for carelessly eating poisonous mushrooms, he is actually a gentle soul. He's so patient when he tutors me, and he even reads out letters from Mondstadt for me. I've always been very grateful to him.
Cyno	Knowledge: Tighnari is different from other scholars I've met. He has the same wholehearted dedication to knowledge, but he will never cross the most important boundaries. Some Scholars see themselves as gods within their own laboratories, but not Tighnari - he has always shown the same respect for every form of life. I've heard that he even declined a position in the Akademiya, and I support his decision. Jokes: Tighnari once told me not to tell jokes at the dinner table, insisting that my jokes weren't funny at all. I did not share his opinion, so I told three of my best jokes in a row, and explained the premise of each in great detail. By the time I was done talking, my food was cold.
Dehya	Hahaha, the one that got away... I came thiiis close to doing a job for that guy. A contact put us in touch — I was supposed to be his guide through the desert for some kind of investigation. But then it got canceled out of the blue, no idea why. Wait, actually... I think there was something about him not being good with the heat? I'm not sure, but it could have been that...
Dori	He loves learning as much as I love Mora. I heard he makes a lot of little interesting gadgets, but he refuses to partner with me to mass produce them. He always says he's too busy with work, but really it's just an excuse. 'sigh' A shame, really... We could make an absolute fortune!
Faruzan	One of my favorite projects is researching rainforest ruins. Ah right, I should ask Tighnari to come with me next time. It's always fun to travel with the living copy of the Rainforest Survival Guide. I must say, even though I've been around for more than a hundred years, he's seen far more varieties of fungi than I've had the chance to taste...
Kaveh	Ah, Tighnari... He's one of the nicest guys you could know. If you've met him, you'll know what I mean. He's kind, and he has enormous expertise in his field, but he never brags about it in front of other people. And he seems to genuinely care about his work. Back when I was building the Palace of Alcazarzaray, I asked him for some tips on how to pick out the right ornamental plants. After he wrote back to me, he also helped me out with some other issues, too. Oh, and I. almost forgot — he was the one who first introduced me to Cyno.
Nahida	The Forest Watchers played an essential role in helping the rainforest to withstand the Withering and continue to flourish, and Tighnari is the best of them all. Still... I do hope he learns to be a little gentler with people. Otherwise, it's gonna be difficult for the Forest Rangers to attract new top talent.
Nilou	I hear he's a really talented botanist. He must be good at telling apart mushrooms. At least, he would never have to worry about eating a poisonous one... I'm so jealous.

Tighnari's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Alhaitham	About Alhaitham Be careful of Alhaitham. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but he purely operates by rationality, so people often find his actions unacceptable. If you don't believe me, just ask his housemate - thanks to Alhaitham, he has more pent-up frustration than an angry Anemo Slime.
Collei	About Collei When that child was first brought here, she was effectively illiterate. It wasn't a huge issue, though. She's a hard worker and a diligent student, so she's made good progress. Still, her goal is to learn advanced medical techniques, so she still has a long way to go. She sometimes puts too much pressure on herself...Help her out when you can, would you? Consider it a favor for me as her mentor. Thanks a lot.
Cyno	About Cyno You want to see Cyno...? Well, firstly, a word of caution: if he ever comes chasing you down for work-related reasons, prepare for the nightmare of a lifetime. Other than that, General Mahamatra is a high-ranking position, so it usually isn't easy to find him. But he does occasionally go to Gandharva Ville to see Collei. As much as he might want to stay unnoticed, he can't fool my ears, heh.
Dori	About Dori The renowned Lord Sangemah Bay is none other than Dori. I became acquainted with her through a previous research project. It had required very rare materials, and the only way I could get them was through her and her mysterious supply network. Uh...never you mind what I was buying and what I was researching, thank you very much!
Kaveh	About Kaveh Kaveh is a famous architect in Sumeru. The Palace of Alcazarzaray is his magnum opus. During the initial planning, he even asked me to recommend suitable ornamental flora. I don't know why or how, but he ended up heavily in debt after the palace was completed. Alhaitham is helping out by letting him stay him at his place, but...I don't know whether that's a blessing or a curse...
Layla	About Layla I've heard of her, the famous "Sleepwalking Eccentric." The Rumors about her sleepwalking are really quite absurd: feats of superhuman strength, sprinting through Aaru Village at night, scaling the Wall of Samiel with her bare hands... Some even say that she can write a 100,000-word thesis while asleep! What a load of nonsense.
Lisa	About Lisa Cyno has mentioned her before - an extraordinary genius with a veritable wealth of knowledge and talent. A pity that she returned to Mondstadt so long ago. Perhaps, in the course of her studies, she witnessed the horrifying side of knowledge...
Nahida	About Lesser Lord Kusanali As a student, I once heard this saying: "Plants and the Land of Dendro share the same history." It could just be one of those things that people say, but I've always felt that there's a deeper meaning to those words...If I meet Lesser Lord Kusanali one day, I wonder... if she would explain them to me?
