Best Teams For Arlecchino

Arlecchino Is a Flexible Pyro DPS

Thanks to Arlecchino's ability to retain her Pyro infusion after swapping out of her, her team building and rotations lends itself to a good amount of flexibility compared to other Pyro DPSes.

However, she has clear teammate preferences when it comes to pure DPS, where comps that revolve around Pyro-amplifying reactions, namely Vaporize and Melt, are going to be Arlecchino's ideal setups.

Arlecchino Teammate FAQ

Hexerei Vaporize Arlecchino Team

Team Composition & Equipments

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main Stat ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% or Elemental Mastery
Mona C1+	Favonius Codex Celestial Gift x4 Main Stat Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% └ Remember to complete Mona's Witch's Homework quest to enable her kit buffs and Hexerei status!
Fischl	Elegy for the End └ The Stringless can be your best F2P alternative. Tenacity of the Millelith x4 Main Stat ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% or Elemental Mastery └ Remember to complete Fischl's Witch's Homework quest to enable her kit buffs and Hexerei status!
Bennett	Aquila Favonia └ You can use Skyward Blade or Sapwood Blade if you're having trouble using his Burst every rotation. Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Stat Energy Recharge / HP% / HP% Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%

Note!	This is considered a reverse Vaporize team, meaning Pyro is applied to Hydro to trigger the reaction instead of vice versa. Reverse Vaporize DMG is multiplied by (x1.5), while true or Forward Vaporize is (x2).

Hexerei Mona Is a Strong Partner for Arlecchino

Thanks to post-buff Hexerei Mona's generous Vaporize-related buffs (with the Celestial Gift equipped), this Arlecchino team boasts high DPS potential that is far more consistent than the Melt comps with Citlali.

Mona's Hydro application on the surface may seem insufficient for a Vaporize team, but because Arlecchino isn't punished for swapping mid-combo, you can switch to Mona and use her Normal Attacks (NA) or Charged Attacks (CA) to re-apply more Hydro.

This aligns with her Hexerei passive that requires her to attack enemies with her NAs or CAs to extend the duration of her Omen debuff. Mona's C2 increases the reliability of the Hydro application through this method.

Hexerei Vaporize Arlecchino Rotation

It should be noted that Arlecchino's optimal combos here make use of unconventional inputs (walk) to squeeze out as much damage as possible. This involves lightly flicking or tapping forward on your directional input, and should ideally be done as soon as you see the starting animation of Arlecchino's 2nd Normal Attack.

Tip!	After the first Normal Attack, try to input the walk immediately after Arlecchino lunges or while slashing diagonally.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Fischl	Sucrose NicolePrune	- In Arlecchino's Hexerei Vaporize team, you will want at least two Hexerei teammate to activate Mona's Hex Passive and the Hexerei Secret Rite Resonance. - The best secondary Hexerei teammate will very often be between your choice of Sucrose and Fischl. But Nicole (if no Bennett) and Prune can also be considered. - The damage difference between Sucrose and Fischl is marginal in practice, but what sets them apart is that Sucrose would rather have another Pyro teammate apart from Arlecchino that can apply Pyro for her to trigger Swirl and to shred Pyro RES through Viridescent Venerer set. - Fischl, on the other hand, allows you more flexibility for the last team slot since her primary role, apart from being Hexerei, is to extend the presence of Hydro on an enemy by triggering Electrocharged.
Bennett	Nicole Iansan Citlali Lan Yan Xilonen Yelan	- Bennett is Arlecchino's ideal ATK% buffer, but in this Hexerei setup, he is far more replaceable for Arlecchino than he was previously. - Nicole is the obvious best alternative since her teamwide ATK% buff is comparable to Bennett's. Her biggest upside over Bennett is how her shield will feel much comfier to use on Arlecchino, who cannot be healed by her teammates. - If you're using Fischl, you can slot in any other synergistic buffer or sustain you have on-hand. You may even include specific Off-Fielders whose abilities can help you clear an enemy's specific combat gimmick, such as a Cryo support for a boss that requires Cryo application.
Mona C1+	-	- This team performs the way it does due to how well Arlecchino synergizes with Hexerei Mona. Other Hydro options simply do not possess the same buff value as Mona, and will be a significant downgrade otherwise. - You can still make do with C0 Mona, though the average DPS would be lower as a result.

Hexerei Overload Arlecchino With Chevreuse Team

Team Composition & Equipments

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main Stat ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK%
Chevreuse C6	Favonius Lance Noblesse Oblige x4 or Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Stat HP% / HP% / HP% or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) 3. HP%
Fischl	Polar Star or Elegy for the End └ The Stringless can be your best F2P alternative. Golden Troupe x4 └ This is for Fischl's personal damage. Equip Tenacity of the Millelith x4 if you want to buff Arlecchino more. Main Stat ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% or Elemental Mastery └ Remember to complete Fischl's Witch's Homework quest to enable her kit buffs and Hexerei status!
Nicole	Angelos' Heptades └ Some alternatives are Refinement Level 5 (R5) Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers or Skyward Atlas. Celestial Gift x4 Main Stat ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub-Stat 1. ATK% 2. Energy Recharge (if you want to use her Burst) └ Remember to complete Nicole's Witch's Homework quest to enable her Hexerei passive and status!

Overload Team Also Benefits From Celestial Gift

This version of Arlecchino's Overload team takes advantage of Fischl's modest ATK% buff after triggering Overload, as well as the full DMG% bonus from the Celestial Gift set in a party with two Hexerei teammates.

Additionally, Arlecchino's Overload teams tend to have much easier combos that don't involve specific cancels or timing. But the average DPS is far less than the Hexerei Vaporize team at baseline investment (no Arlecchino Constellations or Signature Weapon).

Hexerei Overload Arlecchino With Chevreuse Team Rotation

Tip!	Holding Chevreuse's Elemental Skill activates her passive that provides a modest ATK% buff to the party, so it's recommended to always favor using the Hold version of her skill over the Tap version whenever possible.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Fischl	Iansan Ororon Alyosha Ineffa Shinobu Raiden	- Replacing Fischl means you are unable to take advantage of any effect that requires an active Hexerei Resonance. If you're using Nicole, you can give her Noblesse Oblige or a combination of 2-piece + 2-piece ATK% sets instead. - Iansan, Ororon, and Alyosha are the better alternatives since they provide more than just Electro application, such as ATK% buffs. - Other Off-Field Electro characters are there to apply Electro so you can constantly trigger Overload, which increases Chevreuse's RES Shred duration. - You can make do with limited Electro application on Arlecchino since her hardest hits are dealt at the start of her combo; a shorter RES Shred duration is not a problem for her.
Nicole	Bennett Iansan Alyosha Beidou Durin	- Nicole completes the Hexerei Resonace and allows the team to access the complete DMG% buff from the Celestial Gift set. Without another Hexerei teammate, you either have to make do with another Artifact set or deploy a different buffer in this slot. - You will usually want to at least have an additional ATK% buffer alongside Arlecchino, so Iansan and Bennett will be the better choices. - Alyosha's modest ATK% buff pales in comparison to the other two, but it's still serviceable if either Bennett or Iansan are unavailable. - You can also opt into a Pyro or Electro shielder for sustain purposes. - White Flame mode Durin is another viable Hexerei teammate for Arlecchino here. He can equip the Gift set and provide both additional Pyro RES and a bit of his personal DMG.
Chevreuse	Durin	- Chevreuse is what makes this team viable into endgame content due to all her buffs, so she has no substitute that provides the same benefits, especially at C6. - While her buff value is at its strongest with her Constellation 6 (C6), even just a C0 Chevreuse will suffice. - Altenatively, you can also consider Durin as a Chevreuse replacement given that he provides RES shred himself. Having Nicole also increases his value on this team a little more, but he will often be less effective than C6 Chevreuse anyway.

Chevreuse Limits Teambuilding

Chevreuse allows Overload teams to deal competitive DPS due to her Pyro and Electro RES Shred, attack buffs at C0, and DMG% bonus for said elements with C6. But adding her to a team limits it to only Pyro and Electro characters, since her passive that provides the RES Shred is only active when the party includes two elements exclusively.

It's highly recommended to build the team with these restrictions in mind.

Melt Arlecchino Team

Team Composition & Equipments

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main Stat ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% or Elemental Mastery
Citlali	Starcaller's Watch └ Best F2P alternative is a Refinement Level 5 (R5) Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Stat Elemental Mastery (EM) / EM / EM Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery
Bennett	Aquila Favonia └ You can use Skyward Blade or Sapwood Blade if you're having trouble using his Burst every rotation. Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Stat Energy Recharge / HP% / HP% Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%
Xilonen	Peak Patrol Song └ Equip Favonius Sword if your team seems to be lacking Energy every rotation. Instructor x4 or Archaic Petra x4 Main Stat Energy Recharge / DEF / DEF or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword) Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF or CRIT Rate (for Favonius Sword)

Note!	This is considered a true or Forward Melt team, meaning Pyro is applied to Cryo to trigger the reaction instead of vice versa. Forward Melt DMG is multiplied by (x2), while reverse Melt is (x1.5).

Citlali Has Wide But Slow Cryo Application

Unlike her competitors, Citlali has the longest Off-Field Cryo application duration, which is also not limited to a select area. The AoE of her Cryo application is also fairly wide, and she provides a shield to boot, making her one of Arlecchino's best pairings for a Melt team due to inherent synergy.

The only downside is that the optimal rotation typically requires you to wait in between Normal Attack sequences for Arlecchino, since Citlali doesn't apply Cryo faster than Arlecchino can apply Pyro.

Melt Arlecchino Team Rotation

Arlecchino's combo with Citlali has a soft requirement where she needs to wait in between Normal Attack sequences so she doesn't overwhelm Citlali's application with Pyro, which can lead to lower DPS since Citlali would end up triggering the Melt instead.

Tip!	Try practicing triggering Melt with Arlecchino and Citlali first to develop an innate sense for the wait timing.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Citlali	Escoffier Qiqi Rosaria	- While they won't have the same Cryo uptime as Citlali, any Off-Field Cryo support can work as a decent, if lower DPS alternative. - Escoffier can actually be paired alongside Citlali to make your Cryo application less prone to running out too quickly, which can theoretically remove the need to wait during Arlecchino's combo. - Qiqi after her Witch's Revelation buff can now apply Off-Field Cryo more reliably, so she's a decent alternative if you aren't using her in a Stellar Glimmer team. - 4-Star Cryo characters would prefer to have an additional Cryo teammate for better application.
Bennett	Nicole Iansan	- Bennett is one of Arlecchino's most ideal teammage because he gives a generous ATK% buff and activates Pyro resonance, which is a large boost of ATK% overall. - Nicole is a direct substitute or sidegrade to Bennet at base (Constellation 0). Her shields have a lot less value in a Melt team due to Citlali, but can be preferred if your Citlali doesn't have enough Elemental Mastery to help her Shield strength. - Iansan's ATK% buff is tied to movement, which Arlecchino can achieve with dash cancels, in theory. But her buff is going to be lower overall since you lose Pyro resonance.
Xilonen	Sucrose Escoffier Zhongli Lan YanKazuha	- The fourth slot is usually going to be a supportive character that can provide additional buffs, shields or RES shred. A secondary Cryo character can also be considered for better Cryo application. - Kazuha and Sucrose both fulfill the RES shred by equipping Viridescent Venerer. Sucrose gives an EM buff, while Kazuha provides an Elemental DMG% bonus. - Zhongli brings a durable shield and Elemental RES shred, similar to Xilonen. - Lan Yan's shield is a little less durable but she can also hold Viridescent Venerer and Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, like Sucrose.

Activate Pyro Resonance Through Bennett or Nicole

Not having Bennett (or Nicole) can result in a nofor Arlecchino, but he is fortunately available for purchase at Paimon's Bargain on a specific month, and even at C0 he provides so much for Arlecchino that it's recommended to secure yourself a Bennett however you can, if you haven't already.

Citlali is slightly more replaceable in comparison, but the substitutes will result in a decrease in performance and a loss of the shield utility.

Hexerei Mono-Pyro Arlecchino

Team Composition & Equipments

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main Stat ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK%
Nicole	Angelos' Heptades └ Some alternatives are Refinement Level 5 (R5) Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers or Skyward Atlas. Celestial Gift x4 Main Stat ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub-Stat 1. ATK% 2. Energy Recharge (if you want to use her Burst) └ Remember to complete Nicole's Witch's Homework quest to enable her Hexerei passive and status!
Durin	Athame Artis └ Some alternatives are Moonweaver's Dawn or Wolf-Fang. A Day Carved From Rising Winds x4 Main Stat ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub-Stat 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%
Albedo	Uraku Misugiri └ Some alternatives are Cinnabar Spindle or Primordial Jade Cutter Husk of Opulent Dreams x4 Main DEF / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. DEF

Compensate Lack of Reactions With Sub-DPSes

Mono-teams are an umbrella term for comps that are predominantly composed of 1 element, in this case Pyro, with the last slot being an Anemo or Geo Off-Fielder. In the above sample, the Mono-Pyro team makes up for the lack of reactions by pairing Arlecchino with Off-Field Sub-DPSes.

Both Durin and Albedo can contribute non-negligible personal DMG, especially when paired together so their Hex passives are enabled. Nicole completes the lineup through her teamwide ATK buff (that Durin will also benefit from), her durable shield, and her ability to equip the Celestial Gift set.

Hexerei Mono-Pyro Arlecchino Team Rotation

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Albedo	Kazuha Lan Yan Prune Zhongli Xilonen Emilie	- Albedo's slot on the team isn't fixed, especially if you already have Nicole and Durin, so you can flex most Anemo Off-Field buffing supports here since they can equip Viridescent Venerer to apply RES shred. - Geo RES Shredders are also viable options. - Emilie can also be a serviceable alternative since she benefits from Nicole's teamwide ATK% buff and can contribute some damage to the overall team DPS.
Durin	Xiangling Xilonen Emilie	- Durin's RES Shred and personal damage combination is hard to replicate, and most substitutes can only offer one over the other. - Xiangling's personal DPS is serviceable, but she requires a fair amount of Energy Recharge for her to reliably use her Burst every rotation. She is best played alongside Bennett due to how her Burst interacts with his buff. - Xilonen is a notable Durin alternative in a sense that she provides RES and activates the Geo Resonance that gives a DMG% buff to the active shielded character and reduces enemy Geo RES, thus giving Albedo's DPS a substantial boost. - Emilie can also fill this slot, albeit less effectively. But she is notably good into enemies that require multiple counts of Pyro to activate certain mechanics (such as the Lava Dragon Statue), since Burning ticks are still considered Pyro.
Nicole	Bennett Iansan	- Nicole's utility is much more appreciated in this setup because of the presence of multiple Sub-DPSes, which give her an edge over Bennett who only provides an ATK% buff to the active character. - You can still replace Nicole with Bennett, however, more so if you already have Albedo and Durin to activate the Hex Resonance. In this case, Durin will be the one holding the Gift set instead. - Iansan can also work in a pinch, but only if you have Durin or any other secondary Pyro character to activate Pyro Resonance.
