If you’ve had luck on your side inGenshin Impactand pulled the Fourth Fatui Harbinger,Arlecchino, then you’ll want a good team setup to get the most out of her. Making use of the Bond of Life mechanic, playing as the Head of the House of the Hearth certainly comes with its own set of challenges and specific teams that work well with her.
Arlecchino is a5-star Pyro polearmcharacter that works best as a main-DPS. As mentioned, her kit centers hugely around theBond of Lifemechanic - meaning she doesn’t always get on well with healers. She is a pretty self-sufficient character, meaning that she works best with characters who will eitherbuff or shield her.
Updated on May 20, 2025, by Sanyam Jain: Xilonen’s release has significantly buffed the Mono Pyro team for Arlecchino, and the entry for it has been updated to reflect the following.
Arlecchino’s Best Overall Team: Vaporize
Arlecchino applies Pyro pretty consistently. Because of this, she works well alongside characters who have goodHyrdo applicationto maximize onVaporisedamage. Not only doesXingqiu’s Elemental Burstexcel at this, it grantsinterruption resistance- something else that Arlecchino needs.
Throwing in someone likeKazuhaallows for even more damage with theSwirlreaction. The final character,Thoma, providesshieldswith both hisElemental SkillandBurst. If you’ve got hisC6, expect a nice damage bonus to Normal, Charged, and Plunge attacks.
During combat, Arlecchino can only be healed by her Elemental Burst and not by other members of your team.
If you’ve managed to getC1of Arlecchino’s constellation, you’ll get even moreinterruption resistancewhile performing Normal Attacks duringMasque of the Red Death.This state is entered when Arclecchino has aBond of Life equal to or greater than 30 percent of her Max HP, so you’ll want to keep on spamming these attacks and using her Burst.
Action
Thoma
Start by generating a shield using Blazing Blessing, Thoma’s Elemental Skill.
Xingqiu
Immediately use Xingqiu’s elemental skill and his Elemental burst to get Hydro application.
Kazuha
Follow up with Kazuha’s elemental skill, plunging attack, and then his Elemental Burst.
Arlecchino
Upon switching to Arlecchino, immediately use her Elemental Skill, do a normal attack, and then begin spamming between charged attacks, her Elemental Skill, and her Elemental Burst - using normal attacks where your stamina runs out.
A good option forF2Pplayers is utilizing one of Genshin’s bestOverloadsupports,Chevreuse. Using Chevreuse’s attack buff and resistance shred alongside bothThoma’s shieldandFischl’s Electro applicationmakes for a formidable team. If you fancy keeping your team with two of each element,Beidouis a good alternative to Thoma to ensure you have a shielder.
It’s best to keep any team with Chevreuse on to Pyro and Electro only to get the most out of her Passive Skills.
If you’ve got Fischl’sC6, expect Oz to deal30 percent of Fischl’s attack as Electro damage alongside allyour normal attacks while he’s out on the field. In addition to this, keeping your team to only Pyro and Electro means you may take advantage of Chevreuse’s passive skill:Vanguard’s Coordinated Tactics.
This will decrease thePyroandElectroRESof any opponents who get hit by your Overload reactions. Also, whenever Chevreuse hits someone with her Elemental Skill, characters in the party will gainone percent increased ATK for every 1,000 Max HP she has.(Just make sure you’ve got a good aim).
Summon Oz using Fischl’s Elemental Skill.
Chevreuse
Switch to Chevreuse and aim at as many opponents as possible using her Elemental Skill, ensuring you’re quick while also aiming well.
Since Chevreuse will be healing your active character, immediately use her Elemental Skill to start the Bond of Life. Follow this up with her Burst, charged attacks, and then repeat.
Mono Pyro Swirl Team
While Arlecchino’s mono Pyro team was already decent before, it got a massive buff with Xilonen’s release. Both Xilonen and Kazuha share the buffs they can provide to this team if you have both their best sets. They can both give a DMG boost and a DEF shred on the enemies, whichbuffs Arlecchino’s damage by a significant amount.
Added to this, Bennett’s Burst also increases her ATK, and since there are two Pyro characters on the team,he doesn’t have any problems regenerating his energy. Another great thing about this team is that neither Kazuha nor Xilonen are reliant on their Bursts since they can apply every buff with their Skill.
Of course, Kazuha’s buff lasts a lot longer if you use his Burst sincehe can consistently apply the RES shred again.
It’s important to start the rotation for this team with Arlecchino and use her skill on the enemies so that you have thebuffed version of it ready by the time you return to her.
Bennett
Bennett is a quick-swap character on the team and you just need to use his skill and burst every timeyou repeat this rotation.
Kazuha just needs to use his Skill on theenemy to Swirl Pyro for this team, but you’re able to also use his Burst if it’s ready.
Xilonen
Xilonen can use her Skill and quickly perform two basic attacks tofill her Nightsoul bar and activate her buffs. you may also use her Burst but it won’t be of much use since Arlecchino can’t heal from it.
Double Geo Team
Certainly not a team built for F2P players, this team composition is all about aiding Arlecchino’sexisting kit. Not only does this team benefit from bothoff-field Hydroand Geo damageand application, it also utilizes theGeo Resonancebrought on by having two Geo users on your team to shield Arlecchino even more.
Make sure you always have the Geo structures from Zhongli’s Elemental Skill active, as well as Chiori’s Geo constructs, as this will allow for multiple Tamato dolls.
Zhongli
Use Zhongli’s Elemental Skill to bring up a shield for your party members.
Yelan
Switch to Yelan by quickly using her Elemental Burst to begin Hydro application.
Chiori
Immediately use Chiori’s Burst, followed by tapping her Elemental Skill twice to speedily switch to Arlecchino and summon two Tamato dolls - if Zhongli’s Dominus Lapidis is still active.
Once switched over, use her Elemental Skill and follow it up with her Elemental Burst as soon as you’re able to. After this, use her Elemental Skill again and then a Charged attack. Now that you’ve got Pyro Infusion, spam normal attacks.
