Genshin Impact Best Arlecchino Build Guide

Genshin Impact Version 4.6 is bringing a new Fontaine area to explore, a new artifact set to farm, and new story content, but, the most important addition for most players is the introduction of Arlecchino, the Fourth Fatui Harbringer and Father of the House of the Hearth, as a playable character. Despite her cold demeanour and minimal story presence, Arlecchino has won over the hearts of many Travelers, making 4.6 a historic patch for those interested in her.

In combat, Arlecchino has some of the most stunning animations in the game, as well as a unique take on the Bond of Life mechanic which will allow her to excel as a main Pyro DPS, despite sharing the Pyro Polearm classification with several other units.

Here’s how to make the best premium and free-to-play build for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact, allowing you to play the cold and deadly Harbinger no matter if you’re a big or low spender. This guide will include a look at her kit and how the Bond of Life mechanic works, which of her abilities you should prioritize levelling, what weapons or artifacts Arlecchino wants, and what team compositions you should run her in.

Arlecchino Release Date and Banner Availability

Firstly, let’s talk about Arlecchino’s release date and the availability of her initial banner run. Arlecchino is one of the two featured 5-stars during phase 1 of Version 4.6, “Two Worlds Aflame, the Crimson Night Fades”, which releases on April 24th, 2024.

Arleccino’s Event Wish, “The Hearth’s Ashen Shadow”, will begin on April 24th and last for approximately three weeks until May 14th, when the second phase of Character Event Wishes of Version 4.6 will begin. During this time, you can pull on Arlecchino’s character banner to have a 50% chance of pulling her whenever you roll a 5-star unit. Alongside Arlecchino, there will be a boosted drop rate for the 4-star Freminet, Lynette, and Xiangling. 

Once Arlecchino’s character banner vanishes on May 14th, you will no longer be able to pull her. Instead, you will need to wait until she reruns in a future version update, with the specifics of when she will rerun being subject to change. So, if you want to recruit any deadly Fatui Harbinger to your roster, make sure to do it now or you’ll be waiting a while for another chance. 

Arlecchino Character Event Wish

Arlecchino Materials

Next, let’s go over the materials and resources you’ll need to collect if you want to ascend Arlecchino to level 90 and unlock her true potential in Genshin Impact:

• Rainbow Rose x168 (Fontaine Local Speciality)
• Recruit’s Insignia x18 / Sergeant’s Insignia x30 / Lieutenant’s Insignia x36 (Enemy Materials)
• Fragment of a Golden Memory x46 (Fontaine Boss Material)
• Agnidus Agate Sliver / Agnidus Agate Fragment x9 / Agnidus Agate Chunk x9 / Agnidus Agate Gemstone x6 (Elemental Gemstones)
• 420k Mora + 416 Hero’s Wit EXP Books

Rainbow Roses are pretty pink flowers you’ll find all across the Court of Fontaine, especially in the Beryl Region. Other places where these flowers grow in abundance include the northern road from the Court of Fontaine, around the Fountaine of Lucine, and by the entrance by the entrance to Melusine Village. To make the search for the Roses easier, consider using Lyney’s Passive Talent to reveal Fontaine Specialities on the mini-map or, for those who don’t have Lyney, use the Teyvat Interactive Map for the precise location of each Rainbow Rose. 

Arlecchino is a feared Harbinger of the Fatui, so it makes sense that the enemy materials required to ascend her come from Fatui footsoldiers. To be specific, Arlecchino needs Insignias dropped by Fatui Skirmishers, Fatui Agents, and Fatui Cicin Mages. The Fatui have a vice grip on every corner of Teyvat, so you won’t have much trouble tracking them down (although, if you want some help, use the Adventure’s Handbook to mark notable groups on the map). 

If you were hoping to pre-farm all of Arlecchino’s materials before she officially released, then we have bad news as Arlecchino’s necessary World Boss Material, the Fragment of a Gold Memory, will only become available once 4.6 launches. The Fragments are World Boss drops from the new Legatus Golem enemy, a massive stone centaur who lurks beneath Fontaine’s waves in a city long past its prime. To obtain all the drops you need for Arlecchino, you’ll need to spend, at least, 600 Resin.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Kit

Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading

The first trick up Arlecchino’s elegant sleeves is her Normal Attach, Invitation to a Beheading, which is actually one of her most important abilities. Ordinarily, attacking with Arlecchino will cause her to perform up to 6 consecutive spear strikes. Meanwhile, her Charged Attack is completely unique and will see Arlecchino dash forward and cleave the air; if you continue holding the button, she will consume additional Stamina to engage in up to 5s of high-speed movement. 

There is a second part of Arlecchino’s Normal Attack which you need to be aware of. Masque of the Red Death is a unique state Arlecchino will enter when she has a Bond of Life equal to or greater than 30% of her Max HP. In this state, her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will all be converted to Pyro DMG which cannot be overridden. Additionally, while in the Masque of Red Death state, Arlecchino’s Normal Attacks will deal bonus damage which scales based on her current Bond of Life percentage, with each attack consuming a portion of her BoL. 

Arlecchino is the first Genshin Impact character whose kit revolves so heavily around the Bond of Life mechanic, with her enhanced Normal Attacks being the primary way she deals damage. In an ideal scenario, Masque of the Red Death will be active almost permanently, greatly increasing her damage output. Arlecchino also has some of the most stylish Normal Attacks in the game, making her a very attractive pick-up for those who enjoy Normal Attack-focused DPS characters. 

Invitation to a Beheading

Elemental Skill: All Is Ash

Of course, to enter the Masque of Red Death state, Arlecchino needs a way to induce a Bond of Life and that’s where her Elemental Skill, All Is Ash, comes in. When cast, Arlecchino summons forth Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro DMG to multiple nearby opponents and performing a dash-cleave against one of them, dealing additional AoE Pyro DMG. Any opponent hit by the Bloodfire will have a Blood-Debt Directive applied to them. 

The Blood-Debt Directive lasts for 30s, dealing one instance of Pyro DMG every 5s for a maximum of two ticks of damage. Additionally, if Arlecchino uses either her Charged Attack or Elemental Burst, she will absorb any nearby instances of Blood-Debt to grant herself a Bond of Life worth 65% of her Max HP. The maximum value of the BoL Arlecchino can create in this manner within 35s is worth 145% of her Max HP, and she can reset this duration by using her Elemental Skill again during this duration.

Arlecchino’s Elemental Skill sounds rather complex and daunting at first glance but, in essence, it gives her a way to easily induce Bond of Life for herself. Your main rotation will involve casting her Skill to inflict Blood-Debt on nearby opponents, letting that Blood-Debt deal damage, and then casting a Charged Attack or Burst to absorb all nearby Blood-Debts to spawn a Bond of Life, at which point Arlecchino can go wild while in the Masque of Red Death state. In short, her Elemental Skill is a primer and the foundation of her damage: without it, she cannot reliably enter the Red Death state and so cannot deal the enhanced damage she needs to be a powerful main carry. 

All Is Ash

Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising

Arlecchino’s last major combat ability is Balemoon Rising, her Elemental Burst, which is a lot easier to understand than either her Normal Attacks or Elemental Skill. When cast, Arlecchino’s great wing of Balemoon Bloodfire beats as she absorbs and clears any nearby Blood-Debt Directives, granting her a Bond of Life. She will then deal AoE Pyro DMG, reset the CD of All Is Ash, and heal herself based on her Bond of Life and ATK value. 

Going back to the rotation we previously discussed, Arlecchino’s Burst is a way to extend the Masque of Red Death state by bridging the gap between Skill casts. All is Ash has an absurd 30s cooldown, one you can circumvent by casting Arlecchino’s Burst. Now, not only are you using her Skill to spawn Blood-Debts, but you’re using her Burst to reset her Skill’s cooldown, allowing you to reapply that Blood-Debt for more damage and a prolonged Bond of Life. Figuring out the exact rotation is going to take some time, especially because Arlecchino’s ideal rotations seem a bit more strict than with some other Genshin Impact characters.

Furthermore, outside of the Blood-Debt and Bond of Life interactions, Balemoon Rising is another flashy Arlecchino attack that deals very high damage based on her ATK% and can save her in a pinch with a considerable amount of healing. That last part is going to become especially important when we go over her Ascension 2 Passive. 

Balemoon Rising

Arlecchino’s Passive Talents

Alongside her combat abilities, Arlecchino is also packing three unique Passive Talents which either improve her consistency, boost her damage, or completely change the way she plays. Her first Passive Talent, which is available from level 1 is The Balemoon Alone May Know. While in combat, Arlecchino gains a 40% Pyro DMG Bonus and she can only be healed through her Burst, Balemoon Rising. This one aspect of her kit completely changes the way you need to think about playing Arlecchino as healers become essentially obsolete, increasing the value of shielders dramatically. 

Her next Passive Talent is Agony Alone May Be Repaid, which unlocks at Ascension Level 2. This Talent increases the utility of her Skill’s Blood-Debt Directives, granting Arlecchino a Bond of Life worth 130% of her Max HP when an opponent she applied a Directive to is defeated. Furthermore, 5s after a Directive is applied, it will upgrade to a Blood-Debt Due, granting Arlecchino a BoL worth 130% of her Max HP when absorbed. This Talent simply makes her main rotations more rewarding, increasing the benefits you’ll reap if you time her Blood-Debt absorption just right. 

Seat Before the Knave

Finally, Strength Alone Can Defend is Arlecchino’s Character Ascension 4 Talent and it gives Arlecchino 1% All Elemental and Physical RES for every 100 ATK she has over 1,000. The maximum RES increase she can gain in this manner is 20%. As a character who cannot be healed from outside sources, any form of damage reduction is incredibly welcome on Arlecchino. 

Overall, Arlecchino’s Passive Talents are genuinely game-changing, especially her first one as it forces you to adapt your team compositions, pushing you more towards shielders or debuffers than healers. Meanwhile, her other two Talents increase her quality of life by improving her consistency, the amount of BoL she can generate in a single turn, or by granting her increased resistance. All three Talents are excellent and, if you’re able to play around them, Arlecchino will grow mighty indeed. 

Bathe in Balefire

Arlecchino Talent Priority Order

1. Invitation to a Beheading (Normal Attack)
2. All Is Ash (Elemental Skill)
3. Balemoon Rising (Elemental Burst)

The main Talent you’ll want to prioritize leveling for Arlecchino is, of course, her Normal Attacks. As her main source of damage and the Talent that dictates the damage output of her Red Death state, it isn’t something you’ll want to ignore: the lower the investment in her NAs, the less damage she’ll deal, tanking her value as a unit. Just focus on leveling her Normal Attacks and you’ll see a massive bump in damage, simple as.

When it comes to her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, though, things aren’t so simple. The main benefits of each ability – the Bond of Life application and the healing, respectively – are independent of the benefits afforded by leveling each ability: for example, investing in her Burst won’t increase its healing, only its damage output. As such, you don’t need to be in a particular rush to level either of these abilities because her Normal Attacks will be doing most of the work. 

Of the two options, All Is Ash is where you’ll see the most significant improvement as it increases the damage of her Blood-Debt Directive damage ticks, something you’ll be relying on to trigger the massive Bond of Life trigger from her CA2 Talent. In contrast, leveling her Burst just does more damage which, of course, is very nice but simply not as reliable or consistent as more Blood-Debt damage. 

Cleave the Night Away

All Arlecchino Constellations

If you happen to get exceptionally lucky while rolling on Arlecchino’s Event Wish, you may end up walking away with some of her Stella Fortunas if you roll her multiple times. You use Stella Fortunas to unlock Constellations, unleashing new, powerful abilities that complement or completely alter the way the unit’s base kit works. As a limited unit, Arlecchino’s Constellations are particularly difficult to obtain as you can only get them when her Character Event Wish is live. 

1. “All Reprisals and Arrears, Mine to Bear….”: Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced, increasing the value of the damage boost to 100%. Additionally, Arlecchino’s interruption resistance is increased when she performs Normal or Charged Attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death.
2. “All Rewards and Retributions, 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.
3. “You Shall Become a New Member of Our Family…”: Increases the level of Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading by 3.
4. “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.
5. “For Alone, We Are as Good as Dead…”: Increases the level of Balemoon Rising by 3.
6. “From This Day On, We Shall Delight in New Light, Together.”: The DMG of Balemoon Rising is increased by Arlecchino’s ATK multiplied by 700% of Arlecchino’s current Bond of Life percentage. For the 20s after Arlecchino uses All Is Ash, both her Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst gain a 10% increased CRIT Rate and 70% increased CRIT DMG. You can trigger this effect once every 15s.

All of Arlecchino’s Constellations are rather transformative but, for low spenders, her C2 is of particular importance as it allows you to be faster with her rotations: no longer will you have to wait five seconds for the Blood-Debt to change before you can cast a Charged Attack or Burst, increasing Arlecchino’s quality of life considerably. Alongside her C2, her C1 is a nice upgrade to her main form of damage whereas her C6 is ridiculously strong, improving the two highest damage parts of her kit even further.

What are Arlecchino’s Best Weapons in Genshin Impact?

Arlecchino Best in Slot Weapon: Crimson Moon’s Semblance

Without question, Arlecchino’s best Polearm is her signature weapon, Crimson Moon’s Semblance. This Polearm is unique and special for several reasons but, first and foremost, it’s Arlecchino’s signature weapon, meaning that it’s available to earn from the Weapon Event Wish while Arlecchino’s own Character Event Wish is ongoing. Not only does Crimson Moon’s Semblance drastically improve Arlecchino’s damage output and complement several aspects of her kit, but it also changes her animations, something we’ve never seen before in Genshin Impact. 

At max level, Crimson Moon’s Semblance will provide the wielder with 674 ATK as well as 22.05% extra CRIT Rate as a substat. They’ll also gain the benefits of the Ashen Sun’s Shadow affix which grants a Bond of Life equal to 25% of Max HP when a Charged Attack hits an opponent. Additionally, when the equipping character has a Bond of Life from any source, they gain a 12% DMG Bonus; this bonus increases to 24% if the value of the Bond of Life is greater than or equal to 30% of the wielder’s Max HP. 

On every level, Crimson Moon’s Semblance improves Arlecchino considerably. The massive amount of base ATK and CRIT Rate the weapon grants all her Arlecchino to dominate the battlefield with consistent high damage crits. Meanwhile, the extra Bond of Life source will make entering the Red Death state much easier, while the Bond of Life damage bonus will only increase Arlecchino’s ferocity and strength while in the Red Death state. This weapon does it all – power, consistency, quality of life, and, most importantly, style – so consider pulling on it if you want to make Arlecchino sing, especially if you want to see her unique Normal Attack animations. 

Crimson Moon’s Semblance

Recommended Replacement Weapons for Arlecchino

But what if you can’t pull on Crimson Moon’s Semblance? What if you need to rely on other Polearms to outfit your Arlecchino with? Are you doomed to a life of low damage? Of course not! Arlecchino benefits from many of the Polearms currently available in Genshin Impact, whether they be 4-stars or 5-stars. 

Before we dive into recommendations, we will mention that all of the recommendations here will mainly be 4-star in rarity because they’re the weapons more readily attainable to F2P or low-spender players. However, if you happen to have a 5-star Polearm not listed here, such as the Staff of Scarlet Staff, don’t be afraid to try it out on Arlecchino as their higher base stats and more powerful affixes may find a use on the Fatui Harbinger.

As for Arlecchino’s best replacement weapon options, consider using the Staff of Homa, Crescent Pike, or Dragon’s Bane.

Staff of Homa

The Staff of Homa is the only 5-star recommendation on our list and it’s because of how well it synergises with Arlecchino’s kit. At level 90, Homa will give the wielder 608 ATK as well as 66.31% CRIT DMG. The weapon’s affix, Reckless Cinnabar, increases HP by 20% and gives the wielder an ATK Bonus based on the wielder’s Max HP. For Arlecchino, the extra CRIT DMG is a big boost in damage, as is the extra ATK based on her HP. Furthermore, the extra health will help her stay alive while boosting the health of her Bond of Life, increasing survivability and damage in the process.

As for 4-star options, the first one we’re recommending is the ever-reliable Crescent Pike, a craftable Polearm that has seen considerable use since its release in Version 1.0. At level 90, the Pike will give you 546 ATK, 34.49% Bonus Physical DMG (which is, honestly, kind of pointless on Arlecchino), and access to the Infusion Needle effect. This increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG equal to 20% of ATK for 5s after the wielder picks up an Elemental Orb/Particle. As an ATK-scaling Normal Attack-focused character, Arlecchino will greatly benefit from the damage boost the Crescent Pike provides, especially when its effect is so easy to trigger for an on-field Pyro DPS with infusion. 

Lastly, the Dragon’s Bane is a simple but effective Polearm that will certainly find a home in Arlecchino’s arsenal. Dragon’s Bane provides 454 ATK, 220 bonus Elemental Mastery, and the Bane of Fire and Water effect which increases DMG against opponents affected by Hydro or Pyro by 20% (up to 36% at R5). When in the Red Death state, all of Arlecchino’s Normal Attacks will be Pyro-infused, making the Bane effect very easy to trigger and allowing her to take advantage of a hearty damage boost for little to no work.

Dragon’s Bane

Arlecchino’s Best Artifact Sets in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino has two main paths you can take her down when it comes to her artifact set choice. The first is to outfit her with a new artifact set arriving in Version 4.6, one built around the Bond of Life effect in a way that feels tailor-made for Arlecchino. Alternatively, you can rely on older sets which, while not as specialized, will still dish out a high amount of damage. 

That first set, and the one we’re recommending above all others, is the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy Artifact set. You’ll find the domain for this set in the new area of Fontaine and, as we mentioned, it’s a Bond of Life set. With 4 pieces equipped, Harmonic Whimsy will provide the wearer with 18% ATK and cause them to deal 18% increased DMG for 6s each time the value of their Bond of Life increases or decreases. This effect can stack up to 3 times for a total increase of 54% bonus DMG. 

Arlecchino is, currently, the only character who can natively generate a Bond of Life without the aid of a weapon, making this set a perfect fit for her. Her Red Death state and Blood-Debt absorption will ensure that her Bond of Life is currently fluctuating, guaranteeing that you’ll always be benefiting from the increased DMG. Additionally, the extra ATK is excellent as Arlecchino is a simple ATK and CRIT scaler, improving her damage considerably. 

Harmonic Whimsy Artifact Set

If you’re impatient and want to use something that’s not so Bond of Life dependant (even if acquiring one isn’t a challenge for Arlecchino), you could go with 4-piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence. This Inazuma set also increases AT by 18%. As for the 4-piece effect, after the holder casts their Elemental Skill, they lose 15 Energy and, in return, their Normal, Charged, and Plugning Attack DMG increases by 50% for 10s. 

Because Arlecchino is not a Normal Attack DPS but also that her Elemental Skill has a very long cooldown, the 15 Energy is an easy sacrifice for high damage numbers. Additionally, because Arlecchino has Pyro infusion in the Red Death state, you should be able to generate enough Elemental Reactions and Particles to quickly and efficiently regen the lost Energy. This set simply increases your damage without needing to rely on Bond of Life, making it a suitable (if slightly less effective) artifact set for Arlecchino. 

Shimenawa’s Reminiscence

Most Important Stats and Substats for Arlecchino

Artifact set choice is only the start of your build journey in Genshin Impact, though, as you’ll also need to find appropriate main and substats to truly make your character sing. Here are the main stats you should be looking for Arlecchino’s artifacts if you want to build her efficiently and as a powerful main damage dealer.

• Hourglass (Sands): ATK%
• Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT  Rate / CRIT DMG

Alongside the main stats, artifacts also have substats that you need to be aware of. Even though these stats are smaller than a main stat, they add up to make up the brunt of a character’s build. Here are the four most important substats that you’ll want to look for on Arlecchino’s artifacts ordered by priority: 

1. ATK%
2. CRIT Rate
3. CRIT DMG
4. Elemental Mastery

Cannot Escape Father’s Grasp

Genshin Impact Best Arlecchino Team Compositions

Premium Arlecchino Vaporize DPS Team

As a Pyro DPS, Arlecchino has access to some of the most powerful Elemental Reactions in the whole game, especially because she can easily trigger them using her enhanced Normal Attacks. As such, there are several potent team compositions that can work to elevate Arlecchino’s damage, with the two most potent being an Overload Team (Electro + Pyro) and a Vaporize Team (Hydro + Pyro). 

Vaporize is already one of the best Elemental Reactions in all of Genshin Impact and Arlecchino can make it even better. To make a powerful Arlecchino team built around the Vaporize Elemental Reaction, run her with Bennett, Yelan, and Zhongli. 

Zhongli the Geo Archon

In this composition, Bennett’s value is essentially halved for Arlecchino as she won’t be able to benefit from his Ultimate’s healing. Fortunately, people run Bennett for his ATK buff, not his healing, and Arlecchino can still benefit from his Burst’s incredibly high ATK bonus, greatly increasing her damage output. Furthermore, pairing Bennett and Arlecchino will grant your team access to the Pyro Resonance effect, increasing ATK even further for every team member.

Yelan, on the other hand, is here for excellent off-field Hydro application, acting as the main driver of our Vaporize Reactions. With her Skill and Burst, Yelan can pop onto the field, string up a bunch of enemies, drench them in Hydro, and then disappear to let Arlecchino wreak havoc, fitting nicely into the brief moments of downtimes Arlecchino’s rotations offer her. Yelan is already one of the best Hydro units in the game and she pairs wonderfully with Arle.

Last, but certainly not least, Zhongli is here as both a shielder and a buffer. Because Arlecchino can only heal herself, having Zhongli’s shield to protect you from harm can be incredibly comforting, allowing you to be more aggressive, even as your Bond of Life increases. Additionally, Zhongli’s shield is special in that it decreases the Elemental RES of any nearby targets, further boosting Arlecchino’s damage while she remains safe and sound by the Geo Archon’s might.  This Vaporize team is a super comfortable, super powerful composition where Arlecchino can really shine. 

Vaporize Arlecchino Team Composition

Premium Arlecchino Overload DPS Team

Alternatively, if you’re a bit bored of Vaporize and want to make use of some newer units, you could try and put Arlecchino in an Overload composition. Once ranked quite low on the Elemental Reaction tier list, Overload has seen a resurgence thanks to the aid of a certain Pyro 4-star, someone whom Arlecchino can work with to take Overload to new heights. 

If you want to run Arlecchino in an Overload-focused composition, run her with Yae Miko, Chevreuse, and another Pyro or Electro unit. 

Overload Super Star Chevreuse

The main unit of note in this team is Chevreuse, a recently released Fontaine 4-star who elevates Overload considerably. Chevreuse not only increases the ATK of both Electro and Pyro characters whenever she uses her Skill but she can cause Overload Reactions to shred Electro and Pyro RES, softening targets up for her main DPS. You do need to run her in a team made up of only Pyro or Electro characters but, fortunately, that suits Arlecchino just fine.

On the other hand, Yae Miko is here as our primary off-field Electro applicator. Because Arlecchino is a Normal Attack DPS, you want her to be on the field as much as possible, raising the value of off-field DPS like Yae considerably. Yae’s talismans are easy to place, deal a ton of damage, and are excellent at applying Electro to multiple targets which, in conjunction with Chevreuse, will set enemies up nicely for Arlecchino.

The final slot on the team needs to be taken up by either an Electro or Pyro unit and, honestly, there are many great options. If you want to benefit from the Electro Resonance effect alongside the Pyro Resonance (which boosts your Energy generation), consider running Fischl as a second off-field Electro DPS or Shinobu as a more close-quarters Electro applicator. Meanwhile, for Pyro characters, Bennett is always going to be a great pick for his ATK buff but more out-there characters like Toma or Yanfei will provide a lot of value, so long as you have their appropriate Constellations (C6 for Toma and C4 for Yanfei). 

Overload Arlecchino Team Composition

F2P Arlecchino Team

If you don’t have access to a lot of premium 5-stars but are still looking to snag Arlecchino, there are some good F2P alternatives for Arlecchino team comps. The team we’ll be recommending is a modified version of the Vaporize team, allowing Arlecchino to deal high on-field damage with her Pyro-infused NAs.  

If you want to make the best F2P Arlecchino team in Genshin Impact, run Arlecchino with Bennett, Xingqiu, and Yunjin.

We’ve already discussed Bennett’s strengths but a lot of what was said about him can be applied to Xingqiu. While his healing won’t be that applicable to this team, his off-field Hydro applicator will be a great way for Arlecchino to continue triggering Vaproize without the aid of premium units like Yelan. Xingqiu’s Rain Swords are great and last a long time, allowing Arlecchino to shine on the battlefield. 

Lastly, Yunjin may seem like an odd choice but she’s a character who will only get better the more you invest in her. Firstly, the Crystallize Reactions she generates will give you a small, but meaningful, boost to survivability. Meanwhile, the more important part of her kit, her Burst, will enhance Arlecchino’s Normal Attacks and add a significant Geo DMG bonus to them based on Yunjin’s DEF: what’s even better is that, if you have C6 Yunjin, she’ll even increase Arlecchino’s Normal Attack SPD, greatly benefitting her play style. 

F2P Arlecchino Team Composition

That was how to make the best Arlecchino build in Genshin Impact.
