Dendro
Bow
Tighnari
Verdant Strider
The Avidya Forest's Forest Watcher is a Charged Attack Dendro archer. His Skill cuts the charge time of his Wreath Arrows, which split into homing Clusterbloom Arrows, and he gets the most out of Spread in Quicken teams. He has fallen behind newer carries in 7.1 endgame content, but as a standard-banner 5-star he is a smooth, low-maintenance DPS for exploration and everyday content.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- Energy Recharge 100–110% (two Skills per Burst), 130–160% with only one Skill per Burst
- CRIT 1:2 (60–70% / 140%+)
- Elemental Mastery 150–300: Spread and his A4 both use it
Talent priority
His Normal Attack talent holds his Charged Attack multipliers, so it comes first. Level 90 is recommended for Spread damage.
Recommended teams
Spread with Yae Miko
Two strong off-field Electro characters keep enemies Quickened, and Zhongli's shield prevents interruptions while he charges.
Quicken with Nahida
Nahida adds off-field Dendro and EM, Fischl deals Aggravate damage and Kuki heals while applying Electro.
Budget Quicken
All 4-star supports: Collei holds Deepwood Memories so Tighnari can wear Wanderer's Troupe.
How to play
How he works
- Vijnana-Phala Mine (Skill, 12s cooldown) deals AoE Dendro DMG, creates a field that taunts enemies and gives Vijnana Suffusion: his next 3 Wreath Arrows charge 2.4s faster.
- A fully charged Wreath Arrow hits, then releases 4 Clusterbloom Arrows that home in on nearby enemies.
- Keen Sight (A1): +50 Elemental Mastery for 4s after each Wreath Arrow. Scholarly Blade (A4): +0.06% Charged Attack and Burst DMG per point of EM, up to +60% at 1,000 EM.
- Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft (Burst, 40 Energy) fires two waves of homing Dendro shafts.
Rotation
- Set up off-field Electro (Fischl, Yae Miko or Kuki Shinobu) so Quicken is active.
- E, then three Wreath Arrows, Q, then two more Charged Attacks if Suffusion allows (E 3CA Q 2CA).
- Simpler alternative: E Q, then three Wreath Arrows.
Aim at weak spots when you can, and remember that each Clusterbloom Arrow can trigger Spread on Quickened enemies.
Strengths
- Standard-banner 5-star: many players already own him, often with constellations
- Easy, safe ranged gameplay with homing arrows
- Short 40-Energy Burst: low Energy Recharge needs
- Works with cheap Quicken partners like Fischl and Kuki Shinobu
Weaknesses
- Well below current meta carries in endgame damage
- Charged Attacks root him in place
- Needs a dedicated Electro partner to reach his potential
- Much of his kit value sits in his constellations (C2, C6)
Notable dupes · Constellation
+15% Charged Attack CRIT Rate: frees up substats.
+20% Dendro DMG while enemies stand in his Skill field.
Party-wide +60 EM on Burst, +120 if the Burst triggers a reaction.
Wreath Arrows charge 0.9s faster and fire an extra Clusterbloom Arrow: a big jump in DPS and comfort.
