Best Arlecchino weapons in Genshin Impact

Here's a list of Arlecchino's best weapons in Genshin Impact.

Crimson Moon’s Semblance Her signature 5-star weapon, so it's the best option for Arlecchino in all types of teams. It increases attack, Crit Rate, Bond of Life, and boosts Bond of Life damage. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear Increases Crit Rate, and attack per hit. As Arlecchino hits constantly with her normal attacks, this is fantastic alternative to her signature weapon. Staff of the Scarlet Sands Increases Crit Rate and converts Elemental Mastery (EM) into an attack bonus. Particularly good if you're playing Arlecchino with artifacts that boost her EM. Fractured Halo A good 'stat stick' that increases Arlecchino's Crit Damage and attack. Staff of Homa Another general use 'stat stick'. It increases Crit Damage, attack, and HP, with even more attack granted when Arlecchino's HP is under 50%. Lumidouce Elegy Yet another 'stat stick' that boosts Crit Rate and attack. It gets even better if you're playing Arlecchino in a Burning team. Disaster and Remorse This 'stat stick' increases Crit Rate, attack, and Elemental Mastery. It's at its best when you're playing Arlecchino in a Herexei team. Symphonist of Scents The last 'stat stick' on the list is good because it not only increases Crit Damage and attack simply by equipping it, but Arlecchino will get extra attack after she uses her Burst to heal - which can offset the Bond of Life loss slightly. Deathmatch A battle pass weapon, so not very free-to-play friendly, as you'll want it at R5 to perform well. Still, it's a very good pick if you do have it, as Deathmatch increases Crit Rate and attack, and lowers the enemies' defence. Ballad of the Fjords Another battle pass weapon is a downside, but it does increase Crit Rate and Elemental Mastery. It only really works at its best when you're playing Arlecchino in a Vaporize team with three different elements present. White Tassel Arelcchino's only real free-to-play option, but it's still pretty good! Increases Crit Rate and normal attack damage, which is a perfect fit for Arlecchino.

There are many other 5-star 'stat stick' options out there. These are just a selection of some of the most notable. In general, anything that's going to improve Arlecchino's attack or Crit Rate/Damage is a top pick.

Also, if you just so happen to have the Missive Windspear event weapon, that can also work as a free-to-play option. But it performs very similarly to White Tassel, so you're not missing out on much if you don't have it.

Best Arlecchino Artifacts in Genshin Impact

The 4-piece Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is by far Arlecchino's best Artifact set in Genshin Impact, because of its increase to attack and bonuses for using the Bond of Life mechanic.

But if you don't have a good set yet, then the 4-piece Gladiator’s Finale can also work, because it increases attack and normal attack damage. As can the 4-piece Night of the Sky’s Unveiling if you're playing Arlecchino in a Lunar team with characters like Ineffa, Columbina, or Aino.

The main stats you should aim for on Arlecchino's Artifacts are:

• Sands - Attack/EM
• Goblet - Pyro Damage
• Circlet - Crit Damage/Rate

You only want Elemental Mastery (EM) if you're playing Arlecchino in a Vaporize or Melt team - all other teams need Attack.

The substats you should aim for with these Artifact sets are:

• Crit Damage
• Crit Rate
• Attack
• EM

How to play Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Although her kit sounds complicated, Arlecchino is an easy DPS character to main casually when you break it down: use her Skill and swap to other characters for five seconds, then swap back to Arlecchino, charge attack the enemies you marked with her Skill, and just keep normal attacking until her Bond of Life disappears (the red outline over her HP bar), or her Skill recharges.

Repeat this loop with your teammates buffs factored into the five second swap window to keep the good times going. Note that Arlecchino can't be healed by anybody but herself via her Burst. However, only use her Burst when you absolutely need it, or it'll reset her accumulated Bond of Life.

The reason you want to swap for at least five seconds after using Arlecchino's Skill is to activate her passive that doubles the Bond of Life she receives after swapping in and attacking. And one of the reasons you need to consume her Bond of Life with normal attacks is to reduce the cooldown on her Skill.

When building Arlecchino, you should level-up her normal attacks as a priority, then her Skill, then Burst.

All the best building Arlecchino in Genshin Impact!
