Genshin Impact Arlecchino Best Build—Best Weapons, Artifacts & Team Comps

Known as The Knave—Father—The Fourth Harbinger—Arlecchino is a character in Genshin Impact who stands at the centre of the game's story—at least from the Fontaine arc whom we all have been waiting to get in the game as a playable character.

Thankfully, the wait is almost over, as she will debut as a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pyro Polearm playable character in the game with the version 4.6 update. While the hype for Arlecchino was already at an all-time high, things got even better when we saw her skill, animations and signature weapon in action.

In the wake of all that, we already have almost every Genshin Impact player who is planning on wishing on her banner. Many of them are already discussing what is going to be a suitable build for her.

This is where our guide comes in handy. So keep reading as we share the best build for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact, going over her best weapons, artifacts and team comps while talking about attributes you should be focusing more on and discussing the new Bond of Life gameplay mechanic.

Update on April 24, 2024: Arlecchino is finally here and from early impressions, her damage is good even with three and four-star weapons.

The Best Build For Arlecchino

The best build for Arlecchino focuses on improving her ATK%, HP%, CRIT Rate%, CRIT DMG%, and Pyro DMG%. Of these attributes, the HP% plays a vital role, as most of her character kit benefits from max HP using a new unique gameplay mechanic called Bond of Life that rewards aggressive play with a healing bonus based on max HP.

But this doesn't mean you have to focus on the HP attribute when choosing your weapons and artifacts, as Arlecchino is a pure DPS unit whose damage-dealing capability greatly increases when focusing more on ATK%, CRIT Rate%, CRIT DMG%, and Pyro DMG%.

This is evident from her ascension scaling, which is CRIT DMG%, her signature weapon that provided CRIT DMG bonus and artifacts catered towards her character kit, focusing on increasing ATK% and DMG based on change in Bond of Life value.

With that being out of the way, below you can find the best weapons, artifacts and teams for Arlecchino that will help you achieve the best build with her.

Best Weapon For Arlecchino

The best weapon for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact is her signature weapon, Crimson Moon's Semblance, a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Polearm weapon which grants a Bond of Life equal to 25% of Max HP when a Charged Attack hits an opponent, triggering every 14 seconds.

Moreover, when you switch to a character with a Bond of Life, they gain a 12% DMG Bonus. If the value of the Bond of Life is greater than or equal to 30% of Max HP, then the character gains an additional 20% DMG Bonus.

Since Arlecchino gains a Bond of Life from using her Elemental Skill, 'All is Ash,' and Elemental Burst, 'Balemoon Rising,' along with other ways like from her signature weapon, the new Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy artifact and so on, Crimson Moon's Semblance is by far the best weapon to use on her.

Also, do I really have to convince you to get this cool scythe? Do I? See, if you are going to get Arlecchino, you have to get her weapon, whether it be for aesthetics or for dealing a few thousand more damage from her abilities. Just get it, or you will feel bad. I know! 😌

Now, what are the best alternatives for Arlecchino in case you don't get her weapon or just don't want to, as you already have some great maxed-out Polearms on you? I would recommend using the following:

Weapon	Rarity	Base ATK	Secondary Stat & Bonus	Skill
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	674	CRIT Rate 22.1%	Eagle Spear of Justice On hit, increases ATK by 3.2~6.0% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12~24%.
Staff of Homa	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	608	CRIT DMG 66.2%	Reckless Cinnabar HP increased by 20~40%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8~1.6% of the wielder's Max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1~1.8% of Max HP.
Blackcliff Pole	⭐⭐⭐⭐	510	CRIT DMG 55.1%	Press the Advantage After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 12~24% for 30s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.
Deathmatch	⭐⭐⭐⭐	454	CRIT Rate 36.8%	Gladiator If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 16~32% and DEF is increased by 16~32%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 24~48%.
Missive Windspear	⭐⭐⭐⭐	510	ATK 41.3%	The Wind Unattained Within 10s after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, ATK is increased by 12~24% and Elemental Mastery is increased by 48~96.

We will add more weapons and may remove some from the above list after we test them out with Arlecchino.

Best Artifacts For Arlecchino

The best artifacts for Arlecchino is Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy that increases her ATK% and DMG dealt based on any change in Bond of Life mechanic.

Meanwhile, the Unfinished Reverie set produces almost the same result as it increases ATK%, with the difference being that it increases the DMG dealt based on whether there are any burning enemies on the battlefield rather than changing the Bond of Life.

Apart from that, you can also use two pieces of the Crimson Witch of Flames and an ATK piece. But, for best results, either use the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy or the Unfinished Reverie based on your playstyle.

My Team Comp

I love using teams where players say, "This won't work" or "That won't work."

To be more honest, I never change my team when a new playable character comes. It's always Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, the new character and someone for easy exploration like Kazuha, Wanderer, Xianyun or such.

But this time around, I will be trying out the below team comp, I just have to work a little on Bennet.

	Main DPS
	Support / Shredding Elemental Resistance
	Pyro Resonance & For ATK Buff
	ATK Buff
