Arlecchino Best Builds: Unleashing Pyro Power
Arlecchino DPS Build: Pyro Main DPS
Arlecchino excels as a Pyro Main DPS, focusing on maximizing her Normal Attack damage through the Bond of Life mechanic.
| Best Weapon | Crimson Moon’s Semblance |

| Sample Teams | Vaporize: |
Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is the premier artifact set for Arlecchino. Its set bonus synergizes perfectly with her kit, providing a near-constant damage increase as she manipulates her Bond of Life. The 4-piece bonus grants a substantial 18% DMG increase for 6 seconds (up to 3 stacks) whenever her Bond of Life increases or decreases, which is a frequent occurrence in her gameplay.
While farming for Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, consider using placeholder sets like Echoes of An Offerting, Gladiator’s Finale, Crimson Witch of Flames, or a 2-piece combination for a temporary ATK boost and Pyro DMG Bonus.
Talent Leveling Priority for Arlecchino
Prioritize Arlecchino’s talents in this order to maximize her DPS:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Elemental Skill | Elemental Burst |
Arlecchino’s damage primarily stems from her empowered Normal Attacks. Leveling Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading should be your top priority.
Next, focus on her Elemental Skill: All is Ash for increased damage and Bond of Life application. Her Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising is less crucial for damage but provides utility and self-healing, making it the lowest priority for leveling.

However, viable alternatives exist, allowing flexibility while farming or for specific team compositions. Echoes of An Offering and Gladiator’s Finale can still effectively leverage Arlecchino’s damage potential, especially with optimal substats.
