The best Arlecchino build in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino, the fourth Fatui Omen in Genshin Impact, is a five-star Pyro polearm user with a unique battle mechanic that relies on the Link of Life. If you are interested in building it, here is everything you need to know.

Best weapons for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino is a polearm user who demands time in the field. While there are plenty of great DPS polearms in Genshin Impact, it’s important to know that Arlecchino benefits from having a Life Link, so choosing a weapon that can apply this effect is especially beneficial for her.

• The appearance of the Crimson Moon (Best Five-Star Signature Weapon) – This weapon is the best in your Arlecchino slot, as it makes it much easier to activate and increase the amount of HP locked through the Link of Life. By doing so, you can strengthen Arlecchino’s overall damage and ensure 100% uptime for Pyro’s infusion on his normal and charged attacks.
  • The weapon’s leaked effect is as follows: Grants a life link equal to 25% of maximum HP when a charged attack hits an opponent. This effect can be activated up to once every 14 seconds. Additionally, when the character equipping it has a Life Link, they gain a 12% DAMAGE bonus; if the Life Link value is greater than or equal to 30% of maximum HP, they gain an additional 20% DMG bonus.
• R5 White Tassel (best three stars): White Tassel is a three-star legendary option that is perfect for new players. Provides a normal attack DMG increase, which helps increase Arlecchino’s DMG. However, R5 is absolutely necessary and I recommend using it only as a temporary weapon until you have obtained a better one.

Best Artifacts and Substats for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Arlecchino’s best artifact set is the Fragment of Harmonic Fantasy, which is much better than others by a wide margin due to its passive bonus, which benefits characters with the Link of Life mechanic.

• Four-piece harmonic fantasy fragment (best in space) – Based on leaked information, this set can offer an ATK percentage increase and a DMG increase whenever the user’s Life Link increases or decreases. It’s perfect for Arlecchino’s kit, which relies entirely on his Life Link.
  • This set of artifacts can be obtained from the Faded Theater Domain in Fontaine.
• gladiator ending – An alternative that offers an ATK boost and a normal attack DMG boost when the wielder is a polearm user, among others.
• two piece combos – While I highly recommend using the best Arlecchino slot set, here are some two-piece combos you can temporarily combine.
  • Gladiator’s Finale (+18% ATK)
  • Echoes of an Offering (+18% ATK)
  • Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (+18% ATK)
  • Crimson Flame Witch (+15% bonus pyro damage)

Best Arlecchino Artifact Substats

Arlecchino is a DPS unit, so he pairs well with the typical ATK and CRIT stars. You will need some energy recharge to be able to activate your burst on each rotation. His ER requirement is relatively low, ranging from 100 to 130%, depending on how often you need to activate his Burst. I recommend aiming for around 130% to ensure you explode on every rotation.

• Beach: ATK
• Cup: Pyro damage bonus
• Ring: CRIT Rate or CRIT DAMAGE
• Substatisticians: ATK, CRIT and some ER to reach your goal

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Talent Upgrade Priority

When upgrading Arlecchino Talents, I recommend doing so in this order of priority:

1. Normal attack: Invitation to a beheading
2. Elemental Explosion: Balemoon on the rise
3. Elemental skill: everything is ash

Most of Arlecchino’s damage will come from his normal attack, which he can gain from Pyro Infusion by manipulating the Link of Life. Elemental Burst and Skill are mainly used to apply Blood Debt (used to gain Life Bonds) and for self-healing.

Best equipment for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact

Since Genshin Impact allows for so much flexibility in playstyle, there are many ways to place Arlecchino on different teams, so I suggest experimenting with your roster and taking your time to find his perfect group.

However, it is important to know that Arlecchino’s passive talent makes her incurable for the group members., so he has to use his own Elemental Blast to self-heal. As such, you’ll benefit more from a protector that can keep Arlecchino protected while Link of Life can’t heal a large portion of his HP. If you bring a healer for the rest of the party’s survivability, I suggest using ones with additional utility, like Bennett.
