Should You Pull Arlecchino in Genshin Impact 4.6?
Apr. 22, 2024Genshin Impact 4.6 is going to feature some very interesting characters and players are likely going to have trouble figuring out who to pull. The 4.6 version will feature the new characterArlecchinoand the 5-star rerun Lyney. Both the featured 5-star characters are extremely strong DPS hyper carries and have very different playstyles. If you are unsure of whether to Pull for Arlecchino or not, here is the complete guide on her strengths and weaknesses, alongside comparisons with other DPS units.
Genshin Impact Arlecchino Kit
Arlecchino has a unique kit,which scales her damage based on the Bond of Life status effect.She applies Blood-Debt Direction on enemies with her Skill and can then absorb them for Bond of Life, whichchanges her Normal attacks into pyro-infused attacks, dealing increased damage.
However, she cannot be healed while having the Bond of Life status effect and is only useful as a hyper-carry build.The main source of her healing is her Ultimate burst, which provides a fair bit of healing depending on the Bond of Life effect on her. Her kit is definitely fun to play, but it can get frustrating for new players, especially if they lack a good shielder in the team.
Arlecchino has some obvious strengths and weaknesses in her kit. Now, let’s see how she compares to other DPS units in the game, especially Pyro DPS units with a similar value.
Whether you should pull Arlecchino or not depends on the team viability you have with her.Arlecchino cannot be healed and she requires a good shielder like Zhonglifor players to be comfortable playing without her C1. She is versatile when it comes to teams, working well in Vape, Overload, and Mono Pyro teams,however, Vape teams are a clear favorite for her.Arlecchino’s best teamswill amplify her damage output while making easier to play her.
Arlecchino is not a free-to-play friendly characterand her signature weapon increases her damage output by a lot. However, she technically doesn’t need her signature weapon as there are great alternatives like Staff of Scarlet Sands for Vape teams.
Also, her signature weapon is pretty much useless for every other character in the game as it scales on the Bond of Life status effect.In my opinion,her signature weapon matters a lot for Arlecchinoif you want to build her for the maximum damage output.
Now that you have taken a look at everything Arlecchino provides, let’s boil everything down to her strengths and weaknesses.

Overall,I think Arlecchino is not a good option for Free-to-play friendly players.If you are going to pull for Arlecchino, make sure to double down and get her Signature Weapon and her C1 to get the best out of her kit. If you cannot do that, I will recommend you to save your Primogems.
