Weapons
CRIT Rate
Top pick: CRIT DMG substat plus Elemental Mastery-scaled Charged Attack bonus after the first hit, matching a CA-heavy rotation.
CRIT DMG
CRIT Rate substat; reaction triggers stack ATK and Charged Attack DMG, so it peaks in Quicken/Spread teams.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG stat stick with a flat 20% DMG bonus while enemies are nearby — reliable during any swap window.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate plus stacking ATK and DMG from Skill, Burst, and Charged Attack hits; all three appear every rotation.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG substat with ATK that scales off same-element teammates — easiest to max in mono-Dendro or duo comps.
CRIT Rate
Plug-and-play: CRIT Rate, 20% CRIT DMG, and a small AoE proc that helps clear grouped adds.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG and 20% ATK, but the Normal Attack clause goes unused; it wins on raw stats alone.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery; the Burst-triggered party EM and ATK buff makes it the support-leaning swap option.
ATK%
ATK substat and Charged Attack DMG that grows with arrow travel time — best when firing from max range.
Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge plus a ramping DMG bonus that lines up with a Burst-every-rotation cadence.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate; a Charged Attack marks the target and grants a sizeable DMG bonus, rewarding a CA-first opener.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate and a vortex that groups trash for AoE Charged Attacks; lower base damage, higher comfort.
CRIT Rate
Three-star budget: CRIT Rate and 60% DMG on fast Charged Attacks at close range — strong for its rarity.
ATK%
ATK stat stick with a minor healing-gated passive; filler until a CRIT or Elemental Mastery bow appears.
Elemental Mastery
Elemental Mastery substat; Skill cast grants 32% ATK, which a Skill-first rotation keeps nearly permanent.
ATK%
ATK substat with a 16% DMG bonus that needs a healer to trigger — otherwise just a stat stick.
ATK%
Craftable ATK option; weakpoint Charged Attacks grant 36% ATK and movement speed, easy to hold on large targets.
Artifacts
2pc gives 80 Elemental Mastery; 4pc adds 35% Charged Attack DMG for bow users, scaling the primary damage source directly.
2pc Elemental Mastery; 4pc grants up to 150 Elemental Mastery and 28% ATK from teammates' elements — best in mixed Quicken teams.
20% Energy Recharge plus Burst DMG scaled off Energy Recharge; take it when the rotation leans on Burst uptime.
Skill and Burst hits shred 30% Dendro RES; run it if no one else does, since it lifts every Spread tick.
Skill and Burst hits shred 30% Dendro RES; run it if no one else does, since it lifts every Spread tick.

Recommended Primary Stats
Tighnari combos:
1
2 Skill→CA×3→Burst: Burst gets A1; no funnel.
3 Skill→Burst→CA×3: simplest, weakest; prefunnels; Burst lacks A1; best at C4,
Tighnari — Quickswap DPS
Rotation: Skill → three Clusterbloom Arrows → Burst → swap out.
Weapons (rankings assume listed passives active):
• The First Great Magic: assumes two Gimmick stacks; a bit worse in solo Dendro, still solid.
• Elegy for the End: if the Energy Recharge isn't needed, it trails Scion of the Blazing Sun for personal damage.
• Scion of the Blazing Sun: at R5, slightly behind Thundering Pulse.
• Slingshot: drops off hard at long range.
• Range Gauge: strong with three passive stacks; R5 + 3 stacks ≈ Thundering Pulse.
• Song of Stillness: assumes passive active; R5 ≈ Range Gauge.
• Fading Twilight: if its Energy Recharge is unneeded, damage ≈ Prototype Crescent.
• Prototype Crescent: at R5 beats Slingshot, but relies on enemy weakspots.
Artifacts:
• Gilded Dreams: edges out Wanderer's Troupe when Burst is used alongside every Skill.
• Deepwood Memories 4pc: by far the best set if no teammate runs it.
Stats:
• Energy Recharge: Bursting every Skill is a large DPS gain when the requirement is reachable; needs vary widely.
