Best Arlecchino builds in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact Version 4.6 introduces Arlecchino as yet another powerful Pyro DPS. From her signature red scythe to the economical White Tassel, here are the best weapons and artifacts for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact.

Artifact sets for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino build with 4pc Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy

The new Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy artifact set is tailor-made for Arlecchino. It is her best artifact set, but it may not be the best use of your Resin. Arlecchino is the only character who can make use of this artifact set, and the other set in the domain is similarly niche. Unless you are dead-set on absolutely min-maxing your Arlecchino, I recommend one of the sets below instead.

Arlecchino build with 4pc Gladiator’s Finale (4GF)

4pc Gladiator’s Finale is a good second choice for Arlecchino. It provides an unconditional ATK bonus and Normal Attack DMG bonus. Since much of Arlecchino’s damage comes from her Pyro-infused Normal Attacks, she makes great use of Gladiator’s Finale’s effects. Gladiator’s Finale can be obtained from world bosses and artifact strongboxes.

Arlecchino build with 4pc Crimson Witch of Dreams (4CW)

4pc Crimson Witch of Dreams is an option for Arlecchino in Vaporize teams. Arlecchino is unable to fully stack its 4pc effect, but the reaction bonus will still boost her Vaporized hits.

Artifact stats to prioritize for Arlecchino

Arlecchino can require about 150% Energy Recharge. She does not strictly need to use her Burst every rotation, so if you can’t quite get enough Energy, you can forgo casting her Burst. 

Aside from Energy Recharge, focus on CRIT and ATK stats. Elemental Mastery is useful in Vaporize teams only. You should shoot for roughly a 1:2 ratio of CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG.

Arlecchino’s best weapons in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino’s signature: Crimson Moon’s Semblance

Crimson Moon’s Semblance is Arlecchino’s signature 5-star Polearm. Its special Bond of Life passive gives Arlecchino additional damage while she’s performing her Normal Attack combo. Importantly, it does not make it easier to achieve her Pyro infusion and only makes it more powerful. If you want to ensure Arlecchino consistently gets her Pyro infusion, focus on executing the proper rotations and combos. 

Crimson Moon’s Semblance is Arlecchino’s best weapon, but I don’t recommend pulling for it. It has few uses outside of Arlecchino builds, and there are other weapons that are great for Arlecchino.

Primordial Jade Winged-Spear / Staff of Homa / Staff of the Scarlet Sands

These 5-star options make for good stat sticks, granting Arlecchino valuable CRIT stats. If you have the choice, pick the one that gives you the most balanced CRIT ratio. Ideally, you want a 1:2 ratio of CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG. Staff of the Scarlet Sands is recommended above the other two for Vaporize teams only.

Deathmatch / Ballad of the Fjords

These Battle Pass weapons are the best 4-star options for Arlecchino. They get better with Refinements, but it’s up to you whether you want to spend additional money to obtain them. Deathmatch is a good generalist weapon, while Ballad of the Fjords is better in Vaporize teams.

White Tassel

If you don’t have any of the above weapons, try the 3-star White Tassel. It’s definitely a step below the other options, but Arlecchino can use it just fine. It has a useful CRIT Rate secondary stat and can be found in chests around Liyue.
