	-	-

Arlecchino's strong raw damage even in non-Vaporize or Overloaded (with Chevreuse) teams is exemplified by her wide AoE and swift Normal Attack strings despite being a melee character. While Bond of LIfe is a unique mechanic, Arlecchino's actual learning curve on her recommended rotation isn't complicated enough for her to work optimally.

For early-game players, Arlecchino's high-risk gameplay is compounded by the fact that she can't be healed by any other sources other than herself, so her team requires a shielder or a strong support with interruption resist like Xingqiu (or with C1). Nevertheless, her base damage is high enough to make up for the slot you may use for the protection.

That being said, Arlecchino is currently the 8th Pyro on-field only DPS in the game having more or less similar team comps as the ones before her, and a similar performance as that of Hu Tao, who currently has the more premium supports, although Arlecchino scales better with more constellations. Pull for Arlecchino if you need better AoE coverage!

Arlecchino's Stats

Arlecchino Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Bond of Life allows an artificial way of tracking her infusion. • Is self-sufficient and thus players can opt to pair her with a team of 3 buffers or with a shielder. • Insanely high raw scalings and abundant buffs built into her kit allow for easy building. • Intuitively simple combos allow for consistent DPS with minimal downtime. • Charged Attack can be used for exploration purposes, although it costs stamina.
Weaknesses
• Because she can only be healed by herself, her playstyle leans heavily towards being high-risk without a shielder. • Combo-centric playstyle requires her to either have C1 or some form of interruption resistance, or else she suffers a DPS loss.

Arlecchino Best Builds

Arlecchino DPS Builds

Pyro Main DPS

Best Weapon	Crimson Moon's Semblance
Replacement Weapons	1. Staff of Homa 2. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear 3. Deathmatch 4. Blackcliff Pole
Best Artifacts	Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, ATK%

Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is tailor-made for Arlecchino due to how often she applies and cleanses the Bond of Life effect, ensuring that the artifact set's passive almost has 100% uptime.

As this is a new set, you may use Echoes of An Offerting, Gladiator's Finale, Crimson Witch of Flames, or a mix of both in the meantime while farming her best artifacts.

Arlecchino Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Normal Attack	Elemental Skill	Elemental Burst

Arlecchino's kit revolves around empowering her Normal Attacks to deal more damage, so it should be prioritized first.

Her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst can be leveled up together next, with more priority on the Elemental Skill due to its frequent use.

Arlecchino Best Artifacts

Arlecchino Artifact Rankings

Arlecchino's Best-in-Slot Artifact Set is no doubt the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, as the passive gives her a near-unconditional 54% DMG increase due to how often her Bond of Life fluctuates, making it her best choice.

Alternatively, players can opt 4-piece sets such as Echoes of An Offering, or Gladiator's Finale, and still make plentiful use of Arlecchino's potential if the right substats are raised.

Best Artifacts Ranked

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
1st	Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy	2-PC: ATK +18% 4-PC: When the value of a Bond of Life increases or decreases, this character deals 18% increased DMG for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
2nd	Echoes of an Offering	2-PC: ATK +18%. 4-PC: When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s.
3rd	Gladiator's Finale	2-PC: ATK +18%. 4-PC: If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.

Arlecchino Best Weapons

Arlecchino Weapon Ranking

Crimson Moon's Semblance is Arlecchino's overall best weapon as it sports a hefty Base ATK, provides CRIT Rate, gives her a Bond of Life percentage, and buffs her based on her Bond of Life percentage.

Otherwise, Staff of Homa, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, Deathmatch, and even the F2P White Tassel all come in as decent choices, serving as general stat-sticks that balance out Arlecchino's stats.

Arlecchino Best Team Comps

Arlecchino Teams and Building

Despite her entire kit being anti-heal due to Bond of Life, her talent "The Balemoon Alone May Know" prevents her from receiving any healing from outside sources during combat, allowing her access to buffers like Bennett.

This allows her to disregard sustain and focus on Shielders like Zhongli or with Xingqiu's Rain Swords for her much needed interruption resistance, or even getting C1.

Arlecchino Team Comps

Arlecchino Vape Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Arlecchino	Kazuha	Xingqiu	Bennett
Arlecchino	Xingqiu	Yelan	Zhongli

Because of Arlecchino's consistent Pyro application, she excels in double-hydro teams where she is able to consistently Vaporize the opponent.

Having a shielder like Zhongli and a buffer like Furina ensures that her on-field time is maximized and uninterrupted.

Arlecchino Overloaded Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Arlecchino	Fischl	Chevreuse	Beidou
Arlecchino	Yae Miko	Chevreuse	Thoma
Arlecchino	Fischl	Chevreuse	Bennett

Pairing her up with Overload's premier support, Chevreuse, can allow Arlecchino to be one of the more formidable characters to utilize Overload.

It is advised to pair her up with a shielder support such as Thoma or C1 Beidou, as they can help with survivability as well as offer extra application and damage

Arlecchino Mono Pyro Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Arlecchino	Kazuha	Xiangling	Bennett
Arlecchino	Kazuha	Xiangling	Thoma

Since Arlecchino's damage is already respectable, she can be made to run in Mono Pyro, providing her a Sub-DPS like Xiangling, and buffers like Kazuha and Bennett.

It is worth noting that she can fully take advantage of C6 Bennett's Pyro DMG Bonus, further skyrocketing her own numbers.

Arlecchino Double Geo

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Arlecchino	Yelan	Chiori	Zhongli
Arlecchino	Xingqiu	Albedo	Zhongli

This Arlecchino team takes advantage of the off-field Hydro DMG from a Hydro Sub-DPS, and Geo Resonance and Off-field DMG from Chiori or Albedo paired with Zhongli.

This is more efficient for Arlecchino because of the presence of a strong shielder like Zhongli, allowing her entire kit to shine.

Arlecchino Constellations

Ignis Purgatorius

Constellation and Effects

	Arlecchino's Constellations
C1	"All Reprisals and Arrears, Mine to Bear..." Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced, the value of the increase is 120%. Additionally, Arlecchino's interruption resistance is increased when she performs Normal Attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death.
C2	"All Rewards and Retribution, Mine to Bestow..." Blood-Debt Directives are now already Blood-Debt Due when first applied. When Arlecchino absorbs such a Due, she unleashes Balemoon Bloodfire in front of her, dealing 900% of her ATK as AoE Pyro DMG. This effect can trigger once every 10s. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Agony Alone May Be Repaid."
C3	"You Shall Become a New Member of Our Family..." Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	"You Shall Love and Protect Each Other Henceforth..." When Arlecchino successfully absorbs a Blood-Debt Directive, Balemoon Rising's CD will decrease by 2s and 15 Energy will be restored to her. This effect can occur once every 10s.
C5	"For Alone, We Are as Good as Dead..." Increases the Level of Balemoon Rising by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	"From This Day On, We Shall Delight in New Life Together." The DMG of Balemoon Rising is increased by Arlecchino's ATK multiplied by 700% of Arlecchino's current Bond of Life percentage. For 20s after Arlecchino uses All is Ash, both her Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst gain 10% CRIT Rate and 70% CRIT DMG. This effect can be triggered up to once every 15s.

Best Constellation Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★★	• Provides resistance to interruption, allowing you to swap out shielders for more offensive options. • Increases Normal Attack passive's damage, becoming an unconditional buff to her already formidable Normal Attack scalings.
C2	★★☆	• Allows Arlecchino to always max out her Bond of Life percentage when consuming Blood Debts in combat due to them immediately being in the Blood-Debt Due state. • Provides Nuke potential when consuming Blood-Debts.
C6	★★★	• Gives even more damage potential to Arlecchino's Normal Attacks due to the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG increases. • Turns Arlecchino's Elemental Burst from a regular on-field reset into a capable Nuke.

How to Use Arlecchino

Bond of Life Mechanics

Arlecchino's abilities center around the Bond of Life mechanic. This mechanic is seen on certain weapons and Fatui Operatives, which normally functions to cripple a player's ability to heal themselves until it is cleared.

However, unlike other characters, Arlecchino is actually empowered by Bond of Life and uses this as currency to strengthen her attacks.

Bond of Life Tips & Tricks

Arlecchino's Rotations

Basic All-In Combo

Sample All-In Rotation
Elemental Skill → Charged Attack → Gain Pyro Infusion → Normal Attack → Elemental Burst → Repeat

This combo maximizes Arlecchino's All-In potential and paves the way for her to spend as much time on-field as possible.

Using her Elemental Burst early allows her to consume the Blood-Debt immediately and refresh her Elemental Skill.

Blood-Debt Due All-In Combo

Sample Directive Rotation
Elemental Skill → Switch to Supports and use their abilities → Switch back to Arlecchino → Charged Attack → Gain Pyro Infusion → Normal Attack → Elemental Burst → Repeat

This combo is similar to her all-in combo but allows her Blood-Debt Directive to turn into Blood-Debt Dues by letting her Elemental Skill simmer on opponents.

This allows Arlecchino to reap the maximum possible Bond of Life amount by the time that she gets on-field.

Short or No Burst Rotation

Sample Short Rotation
Elemental Skill → Charged Attack → Gain Pyro Infusion → Normal Attack

This combo is used when Arlecchino does not have her Elemental Burst up. Using her Charged Attack lets her consume the mark to enable the Bond of Life mechanic.

You typically use this combo for quick combat scenarios where you can eliminate the opponent quickly.

Explaining Blood-Debts Directives and Dues

Blood-Debt Directives and Blood-Debt Dues are the marks that appear on opponents after Arlecchino uses her Elemental Skill.

Consuming these Blood-Debts with either Charged Attacks or her Elemental Burst will apply a portion of Bond of Life to Arlecchino. These serve as fuel for her empowered attacks, and is consumed whenever she strikes.

Gains Pyro Infusion

While in her empowered state from Bond of Life, all of Arlecchino's Normal Attacks will be converted to Pyro and cannot be overridden by any means.

Attacks and Skill Usage

Each of Arlecchino's attacks uses her current Bond of Life amount to buff her strikes, as well as reducing her own Elemental Skill cooldown.

Use this mechanic to overwhelm opponents with deadly Pyro attacks while weaving Skill usage in-between strikes!

Mark For Death with Her Elemental Skill

Arlecchino's skill marks an opponent that gives her a set amount of Bond of Life when she consumes the mark by either absorbing it or killing the enemy.

Use this to fuel Arlecchino and ensure that your attacks remain buffed and pyro-infused!

Reap and Sow with Her Elemental Burst

Arlecchino's Burst allows her to absorb any marks within her Burst radius, dealing large Burst damage, healing herself for a portion of her HP, and resetting her Elemental Skill cooldown.

To make use of this, weave it into her normal combo to keep her topped up and allow you to extend her on-field time!

Thoughts about Arlecchino

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Freminet	About “Father” Tears: “Father” doesn't like it when children cry. “Father” says tears are the product of emotion and weakness. So when “Father” scolds me, I hold it in until I'm underwater, where no one can hear me cry. At least I have the Romaritime Flowers to keep me company. Teaching: When I was little, I was taught that we should be ready to give our lives for our family. But when "Father" took control, this philosophy changed. "Father" said that every one of us is important, and we have to value our own lives, be our strongest selves, and stand on our own two feet in this world... But actually, all of that's much harder than just following orders.
Furina	About The Knave The Knave? Wh-Who's that? Oh... Uh, I'd already forgotten about her... Keeping such a terrible figure like her in your mind will only give you nightmares.
Lynette	About “Father” Oh, how ''Father'' expresses love... well, not everyone can accept it. But it is only because of "Father" that home... can be called home.
Lyney	About “Father” Family: "Father" gave us a family, raised us, and told each of us what we should work towards. In turn, what I can do is very simple... Remain loyal, and protect our home. King: To be updated soon!
Navia	She is a formidable but caring leader, and definitely comes across like a master of the house. But she's still a Fatui Harbinger, and that means she must have a more ruthless side. So don't worry - while I'll still always appreciate what she did for Poisson, I'm not about to let my guard down around her completely.
Tartaglia	About The Knave: Look, I've got nothing against people who have their own agendas — I myself joined the Fatui to get more experience in combat. But I don't like her at all. If she stood to benefit from betraying others, she'd turn against the Tsaritsa in a heartbeat. There isn't a sane bone in her body.
Wanderer	About The Knave: A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self... have gone poof.
