As usual, the 5-star Genshin Impact character is released along with his best-in-slot weapon. But, other than that, here are a few alternatives for Tighnari’s best weapons in Genshin Impact.
8 Prototype Crescent
Primary Stat: 510 ATK Secondary Stat: 41. 3% ATK R5 Effect: Charged Attack hits on weak points increase Movement SPD by 10% and ATK by 72% for 10s.
For enemies that have a weak point, Prototype Crescent is one of the best F2P options for Tighnari in Genshin Impact. This bow can be forged by the blacksmith, so it is rather easy to maximize its refinement. The only downside is that this weapon will completely lose its passive if the enemy doesn’t have a weak point or if players are unable to hit it.
7 Windblume Ode
Primary stat : 510 attack Secondary stat : 165 Elemental Mastery R5 Effect : After using an Elemental Skill, increase attack by 32% for 6s.

Thanks to its Elemental Mastery passive, Windblume Ode is also one of the best F2P options for Tighnari in Genshin Impact. This weapon is obtainable from the Windblume Festival on version 1.4. Unfortunately, if Travelers missed the event, then this Genshin Impact bow is not an option. In that case, F2P players can use other bows like Blackcliff Warbow, Prototype Crescent, Slingshot, and Hamayumi.
6 Amos’ Bow
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 49. 6% ATK% Effect: Increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 12%. After a Normal or Charged Attack is fired, DMG dealt increases by a further 8% every 0. 1 seconds the arrow is in the air for up to 5 times.
While Amos’ Bow may seem promising for Tighnari in Genshin Impact, the weapon isn’t really suitable for his quick-swap sub-DPS playstyle. Furthermore, the Forest Watcher doesn’t benefit too much from the bow’s ATK secondary stat.
5 Skyward Harp
Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 22. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: Increases CRIT DMG by 20%. Hits have a 60% chance to inflict a small AoE attack, dealing 125% Physical ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 4s.
Unlike Amos’ Bow which only enhances Normal and Charged Attack, Skyward Harp’s Crit DMG bonus will boost Tighnari’s entire kit. He can also trigger the bow’s DMG passive easily, which deals small Physical DMG every now and then.
4 Thundering Pulse
Primary Stat : 608 ATK Secondary Stat : 66. 2% CRIT DMG Effect : Increases ATK by 20% and grants the might of the Thunder Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Thunder Emblem increases Normal Attack DMG by 12/24/40%. The character will obtain 1 stack of Thunder Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack’s duration is calculated independently.

Since Tighnari won’t benefit from the Normal Attack DMG buff, Thundering Pulse in Genshin Impactexists only as a stat stick for Tighnari. It performs better than Skyward Harp because the Forest Watcher should use an Elemental Mastery Timepiece (so Skyward Harp’s large base ATK is less useful), but, if Travelers do decide to use ATK, then Skyward Harp will be better.
3 Polar Star
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 33. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.
Polar Star is almost perfect for Tighnari, as the Forest Watcher can easily gain three stacks for the weapon’s passive in Genshin Impact. The fourth one is also easily obtainable, but it may be a little awkward as shooting Normal Attack is not a part of his rotation. If four stacks are present every time, Polar Star competes head-to-head with Aqua Simulacra.
2 Aqua Simulacra
Primary Stat: 542 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 88. 2% CRIT DMG Effect: HP is increased by 16%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether or not the character is on-field.

It’s no surprise that Aqua Simulacra earned its reputation as “the Staff of Homa of bows.” This weapon has tremendous versatility that allows it to work on practically any DMG dealer. For Tighnari,Aqua Simulacra is a great Genshin Impact bow for many reasons:
Tighnari doesn’t really need ATK, so the weapon’s low base ATK is not an issue for him. The bow provides a huge Crit DMG secondary stat. The universal DMG bonus provided by Aqua Simulacra’s passive enhances his entire kit.
1 Hunter’s Path
Primary Stat : 542 Secondary Stat : 44. 1% CRIT Rate Effect : +12% all Elemental DMG bonus. After using Charged Attack, increase the next 12 Charged Attack DMG by 160% of Elemental Mastery. The effect will last for 10s and can be triggered every 12s.
Hunter’s Path is the best weapon for Tighnari in Genshin Impact. It has a low base ATK, but a massive Crit Rate sub-stat in return. Considering Tighnari doesn’t really rely on ATK, both parts of the weapon work in his favor.
One thing players may want to understand is that the 160% DMG bonus provided by Hunter’s Path is a flat DMG bonus that works similarly to Yun Jin’s and Shenhe’s DMG buff, so it shouldn’t be misunderstood as a normal DMG bonus.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
