Arlecchino's skillset makes her a versatile and deadly addition to any team. Here's a detailed look at her abilities:

  • Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading: Arlecchino performs up to 6 consecutive strikes, consuming Stamina and dashing towards opponents. When her Bond of Life is 30% or more of her Max HP, she enters the 'Masque of the Red Death' state, infusing her attacks to deal Pyro damage.
  • Elemental Skill: All Is Ash: Summons Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro damage to nearby enemies and executing a dash-cleave. Enemies hit become marked with Blood-Debt Directive, which Arlecchino can absorb by doing a Charge Attack to gain Bond of Life.
  • Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising: Arlecchino absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives, dealing AoE Pyro damage and healing herself based on her Bond of Life value and ATK.

Passive Talents

Arlecchino's passive abilities further enhance her combat skills:

  • Balemoon Rising: Grants a 40% Pyro DMG Bonus and restricts healing to Balemoon Rising.
  • Agony Alone May Be Repaid: Makes Blood-Debt Directives stronger. Marks now turn into Blood-Debt Dues after 5 seconds. Arlecchino is granted a Bond of Life worth 130% of her Max HP when Blood-Debt Dues are claimed or an enemy with a Directive is defeated.
  • Strength Alone Can Defend: Provides 1% All Elemental and Physical RES for every 100 ATK above 1,000, maxing at 20%.

Ascension Materials

To fully ascend Arlecchino, you will need the following materials:

  • Fragment of a Golden Melody: Dropped by the Statue of Marble and Brass boss in Fontaine.
  • Recruit's Insignia: Dropped by Fatui Skirmishers.
  • Sergeant's Insignia: Dropped by Fatui Skirmishers.
  • Lieutenant's Insignia: Dropped by Fatui Skirmishers.
  • Mora: 420,000 Mora is required for complete ascension.

Best Artifacts

Arlecchino plays around Bond of Life, making the 4-set of Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy her best Artifact Set. If Fragment isn't available, Gladiator's Finale is a good fallback.

Talent Materials

  • Insignias: Dropped by Fatui Skirmishers.
  • Teachings, Guide, Philosophies of Order: Available in the Pale Forgotten Glory domain in Fontaine on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  • Mora: 1,652,500 Mora is needed to upgrade one talent from 1 to 10.

Arlecchino Constellations

Arlecchino's Constellations offer some bonuses, but she's incredibly powerful even at C0.

"All Reprisals and Arrears, Mine to Bear..."

  • Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced, the value of the increase is 100%. Additionally, Arlecchino's interruption resistance is increased when she performs Normal or Charged Attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death.

"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 and increasing her All Elemental RES and Physical RES by 20% for 15s. This effect can trigger once every 10s.
  • You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Agony Alone May Be Repaid."

"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.

"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 Elemental Energy will be restored to her. This effect can occur once every 10s.

"For Alone, We Are as Good as Dead..."

  • Increases the Level of Balemoon Rising by 3.
  • Maximum upgrade level is 15.

"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% increased CRIT Rate and 70% increased CRIT DMG. This effect can be triggered up to once every 15s.

Arlecchino - Best Weapons

For optimal performance, equip Arlecchino with a Polearm with high ATK and CRIT DMG. Her signature weapon Crimson Moon's Semblance is her best choice. The Primordial Jade Winged-Spear and Deathmatch are the next best choices. F2P players will have to resort to White Tassel.

The Crimson Moon's Semblance also has a special effect when equipped on Arlecchino where it changes form into a scythe.

Arlecchino - Best Teammates

Due to Arlecchino’s low HP pool and limited healing options, pairing her with a shielder like Zhongli or Diona can significantly improve your team's survivability in combat.
