The official Genshin Impact YouTube channel has finally revealed the character teaser for the new bow user Tighnari. He is a young researcher who is well-versed in botany, and he serves as a Forest Watcher of the Avidya Forest.

Tighnari’s name is apparently based on a popular Arab scientist named Al-Tighnari and previous Sumeru teasers have confirmed that the new region is based on Southwest Asia. Tighnari has one of the most special character designs in the game, and he can be recognized by his long tail and large ears. He is confirmed to be the game’s first five-star Dendro character who will introduce the Traveler to the new major region. According to the recent Geshin Impact version 3.0 live stream event, Tighnari will probably be a new Genshin Impact DPS character with a unique mechanic on his Charged Attack which has will have two levels.
His Level 2 Charged Attack will generate an effect called Clusterbloom Arrows that will track nearby opponents upon a hit. His elemental skill is called Vijnana-Phala Mine which creates a field that taunts enemies and increases the speed of his Charged Attack. When it comes to Tighnari’s constellation levels, players should probably try to get him to C2 as it grants a significant Dendro damage buff.
Tighnari’s elemental burst, Fashiner’s Tanglevine Shaft, fires numerous Tanglevine Shafts that track opponents dealing Dendro damage in the process. According to recent beta leaks, Tighnari’s damage output will scale with Elemental Mastery which might become one of the most important stats in the upcoming months as many new elemental reactions rely on this stat. Even though he is a brand new Genshin Impact character, a big part of the community claims that they will most likely skip his banner.
This is due to HoYoverse’s announcement that Tighnari will be joining the Standard Banner once Genshin Impact Version 3.0 ends. The live stream has confirmed that Tighnari will appear alongside the Geo Archon Zhongli on the first banner for the next update. Recent leaks have confirmed that they will be joined by three four-star characters: Collei, Diona and Fischl.
Genshin Impact is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development.
