Overview
Pros:
- High personal damage that doesn’t rely on specific combos
- Flexible team building and rotations
- Not rely on her Burst to deal damage
- Good early Constellations that front-load her damage
- Controlled off-field Pyro application helps with buff setups
Cons:
- Cannot rely on healers for survivability; personal healing is tied to a fairly high-cost Burst
- Vulnerable to interruption at C0
- Noticeable performance gap between her signature weapon and other weapons, particularly free ones
Talent: Normal Attack > Elemental skill > Elemental Burst
Remember, Masque of the Red Death only increases Normal Attack damage, so take advantage of Normal Attacks to deal damage, Charge Attack should only be used to approach enemies.
Blood of Life (BoL)
BOL is a type of debuff. However, for Arlecchino, it is a paramount source of damage output because of her special talent. The more Bond of Life, the more power for Arlecchino. Maximum BOL level is 200%, occupying her full HP bar. BOL persists even when Arlecchino is off-field. This brings a lot of benefits in combat.
BOL must be at least 30% for her normal attack to be converted to Pyro. For constellation 0 or 1. The best way to get the most BOL is after using Elemental Skill, swap to other characters, set up their skills (at least for 5 seconds or more) then return to Arlecchino and use Charge Attack.

Weapons
Constellations
Constellation 1: Arlecchino’s early Constellation is highly valuable. It significantly buffs her Normal Attacks when consuming Bond of Life. Additionally, she gains immunity to interruption during her Normal and Charged Attacks, allowing smoother gameplay even without shield support.
Constellation 2: Arlecchino’s Skill now applies Blood-Debt Dues, eliminating the requirement to set up her Skill manually. This change indirectly boosts the healing of her Burst and addresses issues related to using it early. Additionally, clearing Dues triggers an AoE attack, with the Burst taking priority. The new AoE attack deals substantial damage, especially when combined with Vaporize reactions. Furthermore, this enhancement enhances her survivability alongside her A4 Passive.
Constellation 4: By reducing Arlecchino’s energy recharge requirements, her healing becomes more accessible. But overall, it's still not too impressive compared to the investment required.
Constellation 6: Arlecchino’s Elemental Burst receives a significant damage boost, making it highly effective for burst damage, especially if it combines with Vaporize or Melt reactions. Additionally, her Normal Attacks gain a substantial crit rate and crit damage buff after using her Elemental Skill, allowing her to defeat enemies remaining after using Elemental Burst.
