Arlecchino
Arlecchino is one of the strongest Pyro main DPS in the game, self-heals, and barely needs a healer, which makes her incredibly comfortable to play. Her damage is monstrous even in mono-Pyro, and pairing Vaporize with Yelan or Xingqiu makes it explode. Priority number one is 4pc Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy; if you lack Crimson Moon, the 3-star White Tassel or Deathmatch still carry her far. Farm a CRIT circlet and Pyro goblet first, and skip Energy Recharge almost entirely.

Yelan triggers continuous Vaporize, Bennett buffs ATK, and Kazuha groups enemies and shreds Pyro RES so she can dump damage.
Bennett and Pyro Resonance push her ATK sky-high, while Zhongli's shield lets her stay on-field and Normal Attack freely.
Arlecchino's talents
Invitation to a Beheading
Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina, dashing toward a nearby opponent and cleaving once.
Continuously holding this button will cause Arlecchino to consume Stamina and engage in up to 5s of high-speed movement.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Masque of the Red Death
When Arlecchino has a Bond of Life equal to or greater than 30% of her Max HP, she will enter the "Masque of the Red Death" state, where her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to deal Pyro DMG. This cannot be overridden.
When in the "Masque of the Red Death" state, Arlecchino's Normal Attacks will deal extra DMG to opponents on hit that scales off her ATK multiplied by a certain ratio of her current Bond of Life percentage. This will consume 7.5% of said current Bond of Life. Her Bond of Life can be consumed this way every 0.03s. When her Bond of Life is consumed in this manner, All Is Ash's CD will decrease by 0.8s.
All Is Ash
Opponents hit by the aforementioned attack will have a Blood-Debt Directive applied to them.
Blood-Debt Directive
·Lasts 30s. Every 5s, it will deal 1 instance of Pyro DMG to the opponent. Max 2 instances. This DMG will be considered Elemental Skill DMG.
·When Arlecchino uses a Charged Attack or her Elemental Burst, Balemoon Rising, she will absorb and clear nearby Blood-Debt Directives. Each Directive absorbed grants her a Bond of Life worth 65% of her Max HP.
·The maximum value of the Bond of Life she can be granted through Blood-Debt Directives within 35s after using her Elemental Skill is 145% of her Max HP. Using the Elemental Skill again during this duration will restart the count on duration and the limit on the value of Bond of Life she may gain from Blood-Debt Directives.
As she sees it, not every grain of wheat that falls upon the earth will grow into an ear, while those who obstruct her, once burned to ashes, can certainly be used to nourish flowers.
Balemoon Rising
It is commonly believed throughout Teyvat that moon phases other than the full moon are mere metaphors of ill-omen, used only by those who practice alchemy and astrology.
She saw this crimson moon in her dreams many times. Were those portents of disaster? Indeed they were, but the destined catastrophes belonged to those who enraged her.
Agony Alone May Be Repaid
·Arlecchino will be granted a Bond of Life worth 130% of her Max HP when an opponent to which she herself applied a Directive is defeated.
·5s after a Directive is applied, it will be upgraded to a Blood-Debt Due. When absorbed, it will instead grant Arlecchino a Bond of Life worth 130%.
A Bond of Life created in the aforementioned ways cannot exceed the original limit on the value of Bonds of Life obtained through All Is Ash.

Arlecchino constellations
Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced, the value of the increase is 100%. Additionally, Arlecchino's interruption resistance is increased when she performs Normal or Charged Attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death.
Blood-Debt Directives are now already Blood-Debt Due when first applied.
When Arlecchino absorbs such a Due, she unleashes Balemoon Bloodfire in front of her, dealing 900% of her ATK as AoE Pyro DMG and increasing her All Elemental RES and Physical RES by 20% for 15s. This effect can trigger once every 10s.
You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "Agony Alone May Be Repaid."

Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Arlecchino successfully absorbs a Blood-Debt Directive, Balemoon Rising's CD will decrease by 2s and 15 Elemental Energy will be restored to her. This effect can occur once every 10s.
Increases the Level of Balemoon Rising by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
The DMG of Balemoon Rising is increased by Arlecchino's ATK multiplied by 700% of Arlecchino's current Bond of Life percentage.
For 20s after Arlecchino uses All Is Ash, both her Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst gain 10% increased CRIT Rate and 70% increased CRIT DMG. This effect can be triggered up to once every 15s.
