Genshin Impact: Arlecchino Build, Weapons & Artifacts
Feb. 20, 2024One of the characters Genshin Impact’s player base has been waiting for a long time is Arlecchino, considered the fourth of the eleven Fatui Harbingers. She is finally featuring in the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.6 version and her kit lives up to the hype surrounding her. If you are planning to pull for Arlecchino, here is how you can best build her in Genshin Impact.
Arlecchino: Weapon, Element Type and Lore
Arlecchino is a five-star Pyro Polearm DPS hyper carry. She is one of the Fatui Harbingers,holding the fourth rank, and she is known as The Knave. She is also head of the House of the Hearth and is also known as the Father. Her story quest in the Genshin Impact 4.6 version will reveal a lot more information about her backstory.
“Up the stairs and down the long gallery, with naught to see through the windows but a world of ice and snow without end. The biting wind wailed loudly, now as mirthful laughter, now as somber farewell—“
The drip marketing also mentions that Arlecchino is the head of the House of the Hearth and holds the title Dire Balemoon. Her constellation is Ignis Purgatorius.
Arlecchino’s English voice actor is Erin Yvette, who is known for voicing Snow White in the Wolf Among Us (game), Molly in The Walking Dead (game), and Sasha in Tales from the Borderlands (game).
Arlecchino’s Japanese voice actor is Nanako Mori,who is known for voicing Taki in Soulcalibur VI (game), and Dorothea in Sirius the Jaeger (anime).
Arlecchino will have a hyper carry kit with her Normal Attacks being the biggest source of damage output.Her kit revolves around the status effect Bond of Light, which increases her Normal Attack damage output significantly. She applies the Blood Debt Directive on enemies after using her Skill and then absorbs it to apply Bond of Light on herself. This puts Arlecchino in the Masque of the Red death state,which infuses her Normal Attacks with Pyro and increases the damage significantly. Let’s take a look at her kit:
The best build for Arlecchino is the “Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy” artifact set, which is the new artifact set coming in the Genshin 4.6 version,alongside her signature weapon Crimson Moon’s Semblance.
Arlecchino is a normal attack-focused Pyro DPS and she is very versatile.Her damage increases based on the Bond of Life applied to herand she can feature in Electro, Vape, and Mono Pyro teams. She scales completely on Attack, and her damage output greatly depends on her Crit stats. Stack as much Attack and Crit Stats as you can on her to get the most damage output. When it comes to her Energy Recharge, try to get 120% through sub-stats in Mono Pyro teams and around the same for her other teams.
Here are all the artifacts you can use for her, including the best and alternatives.
Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is the best Artifact for Arlecchinoas it is a Bond of Life artifact set,tailored for Arlecchino’s kit. It gives an 18% attack boost and another 18% Damage increase for 6 seconds (max 3 stacks) when the Bond of Life value on her changes. Other than that,the Gladiator’s Finale is also a great artifact setfor Arlecchino, especially if you have good sub-stats on them. The Gilded Dreams set is also good for Arlecchino Vape teams.
Arlecchino is going to be a Hypercarry DPS and her main source of damage is going to be her Pyro-infused normal attacks. For Arlecchino’s best build,Attack, Crit Rate/Damage, EM, and ER are her most important stats.Elemental Mastery only becomes important if she is in a Vape team, otherwise, you can also add HP to keep her alive. Therefore, prioritize her stats in this order:Crit Rate ≡ Crit Damage > Attack% > Elemental Mastery (Vape) > Energy.ArtifactMain / Sub-StatFlowerFlat HP | Crit Rate≡Crit Damage > EM (Vape) > Attack % > EnergyFeatherFlat ATK | Crit Rate≡Crit Damage > EM (Vape) > Attack % > EnergySandsATK % | Crit Rate≡Crit Damage > EM (Vape) > Attack % > EnergyGobletPyro DMG | Crit Rate≡Crit Damage > EM (Vape) > Attack % > EnergyCircletCrit Damage≡Crit Rate / EM (Vape) > Attack % > Energy
Arlecchino’s signature weapon, Crimson Moon’s Semblance, is also her best weapon.This weapon provides her a Bond of Life equal to 18% of her Max HP when a Charged attack hits an opponent, triggered once every 14 seconds. Furthermore, it also increases her damage based on the percentage of Bond of Life applied to her.
Here are all the weapons that can be used with her to get the best out of her kit:
As with the trend of recent Genshin Impact characters, Arlecchino’s constellations also seem very important for her damage output.Her Constellation 1 and Constellation 2 increase her attack by 25 to 50%, which is a massive jump, while the C1 also increases her interruption resistance. If you have the spare Primogems, I would recommend you go for her C1 or C2 if you want to fully build her.
