Ultimate Guide to Building Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino, the 5-star Pyro Polearm user introduced in Version 4.6, is a hyper-carry DPS specializing in Bond of Life mechanics and staggered Pyro damage. As a versatile main DPS, she excels in both single-target and AoE scenarios, leveraging her unique "Masque of the Red Death" state for amplified Normal Attack damage. Here’s how to maximize her potential:

1. Role & Core Mechanics

• Position: Main DPS with a focus on Pyro-infused Normal Attacks and Bond of Life management.

• Key Trait: Enters Masque of the Red Death when Bond of Life ≥ 30% HP, converting Normal/Charged/Plunge Attacks to Pyro damage. Damage scales with ATK and Bond of Life percentage.

• Unique Mechanic: Bond of Life acts as a "debt" shield—healing is blocked until it’s cleared. This shield generates through her E Skill (Blood Oath Edict) and weapon passives, enhancing damage output but requiring careful HP management.

2. Skill Prioritization

1. Normal Attack (A): Maximize first for consistent damage and Masque of the Red Death activation.

2. Elemental Burst (Q): Prioritize for healing, CD reset, and AoE Pyro damage.

3. Elemental Skill (E): Secondary focus for Bond of Life generation and Mark application.

3. Weapon Recommendations

Best-In-Slot

• Crimson Moon’s Semblance (Signature): +14% CRIT Rate, 20% Pyro DMG, and Bond of Life generation on Charged Attacks. Perfectly tailored to her playstyle.

• Primordial Jade Winged-Spear: +12% CRIT Rate and ATK scaling, ideal for high-stacking damage.

Alternative 5-Star Options

• Staff of Homa: ATK% and HP% scaling, boosts survivability.

• Calamity Queller: High base ATK and passive ATK stacking after E Skill.

F2P/Practical Choices

• Deathmatch: CRIT Rate and ATK% for balanced stats.

• Prospector’s Drill: High base ATK and Pyro DMG, ideal for early-game.

4. Artifact Builds

Meta Set

• Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy (4pc):

• 2-Piece: +18% ATK.

• 4-Piece: +54% DMG when Bond of Life changes (triggers frequently during Normal Attacks).

• Stats: ATK% (Sands), Pyro DMG (Goblet), CRIT Rate/DMG (Circlet).

Transitional Sets

• Gladiator’s Finale (4pc): +35% Normal Attack DMG.

• Crimson Witch of Flames (4pc): Pyro DMG and reaction bonuses.

5. Team Compositions

A. Overload Synergy

• Arlecchino + Bennett + Kazuha + Fischl

• Strategy: Bennett provides ATK buffs and healing, Kazuha amplifies Pyro DMG, Fischl triggers Overload with Electro application.

B. Vaporize Focus

• Arlecchino + Yelan + Zhongli + Bennett

• Strategy: Yelan’s 后台 Hydro application triggers Vaporize, Zhongli’s shield ensures safety, Bennett boosts ATK.

C. Mono-Pyro Burst

• Arlecchino + Xiangling + Bennett + Kazuha

• Strategy: Xiangling’s Pyronado and Bennett’s field create massive Pyro damage synergy.

6. Gameplay Tips

• Bond of Life Management: Use E Skill to mark enemies and generate Bond of Life via Charged Attacks/Burst. Maintain ≥30% Bond for Masque of the Red Death.

• Energy Recharge: Aim for 120-150% ER depending on team. Favonius weapons on supports or ER substats help sustain rotations.

• Survivability: Pair with shields (Zhongli) or healing (Bennett) to mitigate Bond of Life risks.

7. Ascension Materials

• Character Level 1-90:

• Mora: 1,672,530

• Pyro Gems: 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones

• Local Specialty: 168 Lake Light Lily (Fontaine).

• Talent Books: 9 Teachings, 63 Guides, 114 Philosophies of Order.

• Weekly Boss: 18 Silken Feather (Knave/Arlecchino).

8. Constellation Impact

• C1: +100% Masque of the Red Death DMG boost and interruption resistance.

• C2: Instant Mark upgrade and periodic AoE Pyro damage.

• C6: Significantly increases ultimate damage and crit stats post-E Skill.

Final Verdict: Arlecchino is a high-reward, high-risk Pyro DPS with a unique playstyle centered around Bond of Life. While her reliance on shields and energy management can be challenging, her damage ceiling in optimized teams makes her a top-tier choice for Pyro enthusiasts. Prioritize her signature weapon and Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy for maximum impact!
