Active Skils

Invitation to a BeheadingInvitation to a Beheading
Normal Attack
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 AshAll Is Ash
Summons forth Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro DMG to multiple nearby opponents and performing a dash-cleave against one of them, dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
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.

Arlecchino's great wing of Balemoon Bloodfire beats as she absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives around her. She deals AoE Pyro DMG before clearing the CD of All Is Ash and healing herself. The healing is based on her Bond of Life value and ATK.

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.

TitleText
Character DetailsThe Hotel Bouffes d'ete, situated in the Vasari Passage, is a lovely building with clean walls and sparkling windows, and well-mannered, well-groomed children frequent it every day.
Unlike other mansions of comparable beauty in the Court of Fontaine, the registered owner of this property does not live on-site. Indeed, nearby residents have not even heard of her.
The signature on the relevant documentation is but a false identity — the real power lies with someone else.
If one could hear the children whisper at night behind the Hotel's closed gates, one would hear this appellation: "Father."
When speaking of "Father," some faces turn worshipful, some hearts are seized with fear, and still others look inscrutable, torn — but their tone always becomes one of respect.
These children are part of the organization known as the House of the Hearth. They belong to the Fatui.
This place is home to orphans the world over, and the luxurious Hotel is but one of the House's faces.
As for this "Father," the master of the House, she is none other than The Knave, Arlecchino, presently Fourth of the Fatui Harbingers.
The Fatui — and this Harbinger — enjoy a mixed reputation. But to most of these children, "Father" is the most important figure in their lives.
"It is only because 'Father' is here that this place is truly like a 'home.'"
Character Story 1Almost all who have had dealings with The Knave have felt the unseen, oppressive weight that emanates from her.
She commands any conversation with ease, and few can keep the secrets of their heart from showing on their faces when confronted with those unique eyes.
Ever ruthless, she will settle affairs while talking and laughing, even being so considerate as to do those who come after a favor by rendering the area spotless, so as not to traumatize them.
But none of that is what makes her most dangerous. "The unknown" has, after all, ever been the source of all dread.
Even the children, who interact with her on a day-to-day basis, cannot claim to understand her. Not her hobbies, her dislikes, or the things on her mind when she gazes out to sea.
Each August, they rack their brains thinking of birthday presents for her, and yet her reactions to each gift are virtually the same.
This continued until last year, when Freminet was given a nasty shock by a lizard that leaped down from the ceiling. The little "invader" was caught by Lynette's sharp eyes and quick fingers and then imprisoned on top of the table by a bowl she swiftly seized.
Both bowl and lizard wound up being taken for that year's gift by The Knave, who just happened to return home at that moment.
The next day, when Lyney entered "Father"'s office to give a report, he found a familiar figure in the feeding box.
The temperature and humidity within the box seemed to be eminently suitable for the little lizard, which seemed to be quite enjoying itself.
"Father" seemed to have experience in rearing reptiles.
As The Knave raised her teacup, Lyney immediately shifted his gaze away from the lizard, but he quietly noted this incident to himself.
The children seize every opportunity they can to get closer to their "Father," after all.
Thus, Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet began looking up all sorts of knowledge regarding raising lizards, hoping to have something to discuss with "Father" when next they saw her.
But just a few days later, when he next set foot in her office, the box was already empty.
"'Father'... What happened to that lizard?"
"It attempted to open the box lid a few times, so I gave it back its freedom. Our acquaintance was brief indeed, but that was the choice life made."
The Knave's voice was completely calm. Looking at the confused Lyney, she then directed a casual finger at a bird that was poking about at the windowsill.
"Ah, yes. Not long after it left, the lizard became this one's lunch. Now it seems to want me to serve it seconds... Go chase it away."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2Vanity is but human, and adolescent children gradually gain awareness of beauty and homeliness. They begin to surreptitious don accessories and trim their split hairs with scissors.
Rebellious little tendencies such as these are of no concern to "Father," nor will she interfere.
But should a child reveal their position during a night operation on account of a necklace she would not lay aside — now this would require a "Father"'s instruction.
Thus did Arlecchino enter that girl's room, a lovely handbag in hand.
The necklace had already been taken off and placed on the table, and the girl stood trembling next to it. She knew her error.
Arlecchino scooped up the necklace and gazed upon it, before walking over and looping it back around the girl's unblemished neck.
She then lifted the flowing gold locks around the child's ears. "Oh, you pierced them yourself."
And so "Father" once more retrieved velvet ribbon and jeweled earrings from that bag, tying the girl's hair with the former, and affixing the latter to her ears.
Then, taking her by the shoulders, she guided the girl before the mirror. The young lady reflected within was as a gem-encrusted noble rose, her beauty shining through the unease that blazed across her features.
"It is normal to be vain at your age. But do not let these beautiful trinkets arouse vanity and dull your intellect."
"I'm sorry, 'Father,'" the young woman anxiously apologized, her terror evident.
With quivering hands she reached for the earrings, making to unfasten them. "It won't happen again, I swear..."
But the mirror showed only "Father"'s unwavering calm, her smile seemingly undimmed.
"Shh... Do not be so nervous. People often long for that which they cannot have, and it would not do for regret to make beautiful memories seem ever rosier."
"Wear them. Once you have grown accustomed to them, you will realize that no gem, however exquisite, is any more than an object, cold and dead."
"This is your new lesson — to understand the source of your emotions. Master them, use them. Never be their slave."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Before "Father" rewrote the rules, the House of the Hearth had a wholly different face.
The previous Knave was named Crucabena. Of course, few used that name directly, and the children all called her "Mother."
And she seemed a perfect one: a friendly smile, a gentle demeanor, conscientiously caring for her family, and never without stories to tell the children.
Yet, should you have been brought up in an even slightly ordinary environment, the tales she told would have curdled your blood and chilled you to the marrow...
She would speak of unspeakable cruelties as if they were fairy-tale fantasies, guiding the House members to mutual slaughter, until the strongest among them was selected as "king."
She called herself a mother, but never saw the Hearth as her home. To her, the unnumbered sacrifices were but an interesting experiment.
...
Before taking the title of The Knave and changing her name to Arlecchino, the young girl had another name: Peruere.
She was an orphan of unknown origin, like all others in the House of the Hearth — a "child" of their "Mother."
Many knew that "Mother" favored her especially, indeed, caring far more for Peruere than even her own biological daughter, Clervie.
As such, even to the last, few understood why Peruere repaid this kindness with a magnificent assassination.
Crucabena's insane experimentation took place far from prying eyes, so naturally, almost none knew of them.
Peruere was thus tarred as having committed "matricide," her madness known to all.
...
Even after the dust had settled, she who had once been Peruere — and was now Arlecchino — did not offer any explanation.
She indulged the spread of these rumors, and indeed added fuel to the fire from the shadows.
Whether as a diplomat or assassin, one profits most from seeing through the other party while keeping oneself shrouded in mystery.
A small tombstone stands at the site where she slew their "Mother," the eulogy penned by her hand.
"Here the last light of the setting sun lies buried. Here the coming dawn finds a welcome."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
Character Story 4To hide her origins and consign the truth to the flames, Arlecchino has always proclaimed herself a Fontainian.
The truth is, however, that she discovered an ability to wield a strange fire from a young age.
This attracted much curiosity, as no one in her "family" knew of such power. But at her young age, this seemed like no ability to be boasted of so much as a deep-rooted curse.
Each time she let her vigilance wane, this power would run rampant, eating away at her body. First her fingers, then her palms, and then her forearms...
The blackened marks were akin to those of burned charcoal, just as she seemed akin to burning firewood.
Here she had a vague foreboding, that if this dark shadow were to creep up her shoulder, and snake from shoulder to heart, she would likely undergo some sort of "change."
Perhaps that would be the moment fate tipped its hand to her.
...
Even without the corrosion, this flame brought her other troubles.
Those rendered ash by these fires would leave "afterimages." At times, they were fragments of memory, and at others, they donned the aspect of dazzling colors.
As those who fell at her hand increased, Arlecchino began to hear various voices.
Screams, wails, and hurled recriminations would wake her from dreams, and she soon grew used to this. She had few dreams worth remembering fondly, in any case, filled as most were with crimson moon and barren wilds.
In cases few and far between, these afterimages would be complete enough to take on the form of a "conscious individual."
Of course, these were hardly as special as "Clervie's shadow," but they would still appear by Arlecchino's side, driving the clamor away and buying her a moment's respite.
Like children at play, they would gather for a time, and then drift away as they pleased.
Arlecchino remembered who they were in life. But she would never call them by their names.

Character Story 5After meeting the Tsaritsa, being bestowed with a Delusion, and inheriting the name "Arlecchino," the young Knave was also granted an individual audience with her superior.
Director Pierro's expression lay hidden behind his half-mask.
"I know you still harbor dissatisfaction and doubt. As such, I will answer five of your questions concerning the world... or concerning yourself."
"You need not ask for guarantees from me, ask about our programs and principles, or about Her Majesty's ideals. Those, I can answer freely and without reservation."
Arlecchino did not wholly trust The Jester's open honesty.
"Then let me also state that I reject any deliberate mystifications or obfuscations, as well as word games and lies."
"Most prudent. In that case, allow me to answer the first question weighing on you. Why did we choose you, and why did you accept? 'The naive will die for their ideals, but we are willing to endure even the meanest existence to accomplish our goals.'"
...
"Question three. What do my constant dreams of a crimson moon and my powers mean?"
"I once served the final dynasty of an ancient underground kingdom. Its dynastic name was 'Eclipse,' and before them came the 'Crimson Moon.' As for the secrets from before your birth... I suggest you purchase a book named 'Hleobranto Innamorato.' I read no such tales in the days when I pursued academic attainment and saw it only by chance. The circumstances depicted are specious, but the key details are accurate."
...
"Question five. What will become of me and the others in the House of the Hearth once everything is finished?"
"I will be frank. None of you have any place in my ideals, for I plan only to uphold 'the virtue of folly.' But I can guarantee that our Tsaritsa will once again be a god who loves all humans, and in her ideals shall all human wishes be granted."
This "virtue of folly" was, of course, left enigmatic, but she accepted this answer nonetheless. The Fool had given five answers to her five questions, and the mist that covered her eyes was beginning to part.
"Arlecchino."
Pierro called out to her as she departed, and she turned around.
"Rather than dwelling on how the world is now, you should consider to where it should go."
The sounds of her departing footsteps as she spun on her heel and kept walking were the only reply.

"Marelle"The House of the Hearth uses many codewords to maintain operational security and secrecy, and of these, "Marelle" was personally selected by The Knave herself.
"Marelle" takes its meaning from a popular Fontainian children's game. Boxes sequentially marked with numbers are drawn out on the ground, a sandbag is thrown into one of the boxes, and the player will jump from box to box in a specific order.
No one knows when this game began to spread, nor who created the rules, but all young children of the Hearth have experienced being taken by older children to play the game.
Light-footed leaps, boisterous laughter... The memories married to "Marelle" were always wonderful, like the kiss of radiant sunshine.
As such, at first the children were perplexed when their "Father" was torn between assigning "At Ease" or "Danger" to that codeword.
Little did they know that in the House that came before, Marelle was no game.
In those days, each and every child would leap into the boxes one by one under the vigilant eyes of the adults. Stepping out of the lines or breaking the rhythm was not allowed.
There was never a need to ask the punishment for making a bad jump, for the area outside of the boxes was lined with upturned blades.
Those who lost their balance, whose stamina failed, or simply made an error out of fear... So, so many fell beyond the bounds, and the dark-red soil mourned that painful past.
None would have associated it with being "at ease" — indeed, few could speak of it without blanching.
Yet, after her hesitation, Arlecchino chose "at ease" as the codeword's meaning that day.
Marelle was by then no longer associated with "danger." Now, all that came to mind when this game was mentioned were smiling faces.
In which case, she thought, let those unhappy memories dwell in her heart alone. Let the blood and dust be wiped away, for should children not see a broader future?

VisionArlecchino has many sources of power.
The ancient Balemoon Bloodfire burns within her, the noble blood serving as both curse and blessing — this was her first support.
The merciful Tsaritsa pardoned her matricide and granted her a Delusion, proof of royal favor and a badge of honor. That was the third time she obtained a source of power.
Between these two, the girl who still called herself "Peruere" received a Vision.
While Clervie yet lived, Peruere had mooted the idea of assassinating "Mother" to her. Perhaps she lacked confidence, or perhaps it was their familial bond that yet shackled her, but Clervie refused.
Clervie's destiny concluded when the cold blade pierced her. But as she slipped away towards death, she was truly happy, for she had finally found her freedom.
But for the living Peruere, fate's gears had only begun to turn.
The experiment to select a "king" was over, but "Mother"'s ambitions were far from fulfilled.
Peruere thus decided to undertake the plan that had once been shelved solo.
From that day on, she silently calculated the gap between herself and "Mother." Her martial skills were the fruit of her "Mother"'s tutelage, and the strength flowing through her bloodline was laid bare before "Mother."
And what was a child before adults but a nestling — even one who had emerged as ruler of the roost?
But what her life of suffering up till now had not taught her was how to give up.
Thus Peruere constantly honed herself, though her body became riddled with scars from constant battle, though her arms should be burned black from baleful blood-fire she could not completely control.
Then, on one moonlit night, a Vision came to her without warning or portent.
The round Vision lined up perfectly with the moon, and the glimmering gem tinted the latter crimson—
Was this her wish?
Was this merely the fruit of hundreds of days and nights of ceaseless thought?
Such a question was doomed to remain unanswered, and so she did not obsess over it.
She merely concealed the Vision in the place closest to her heart before sending "Mother" a "pleasant little surprise."
As a Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino bows before no god. Yet though it represents the institution of The Seven, she always takes meticulous care of this Vision.
To her, this is proof of her defiance of fate, wresting from it command over her future.

  1. Does anyone have solid intel about Father’s particles generation?
    With the healing being moved to her burst (something i’m not very fond of, not gonna lie) i got a little worried about her energy needs (specially since her burst cost remained 60, from what i know). She can cast her skill twice in rapid succession if she uses her burst inbetween… but does she generates particles both times? Or is it a Ningguang situation?

    • her skill will generate particles twice, as far as i heard it would be 5 particles for each instance of the skill but i wouldn’t take that number of particles as a guaranteed answer tbh. the purpose of the Skill reset on burst was to help her be less reliant on particle generators such as bennet, making her easier to play with chevreuse instead

  2. Man… we came from c1 = “more damage/more stacks/more duration/less cooldown”, to c1 = “we took out what should be in the base kit and sell it back to the players”. I thought we’re so back when they released Navia, but apparently nope. 🙁

    • Hoyo is so random. We already have the first case of “it’s inconvenient until C1” from Hu Tao. Then the next ones (that I know of) is Yae, then Dehya. I guess they do this if the character is very popular? But now they did this to almost all characters in Fontaine, Chiori included as well. I really don’t get it….

      I’m hoping Clorinde won’t suffer the same…. 🥲

  3. This version is way better than before, not considering DPS, but from the QoL perspective. Though the burst with AOE nuke and healing makes her even more like Hutao, we actually have more choices on the usage of the burst.

    1. Start with E -> CA -> Q -> E, dealing an AOE nuke with 1300%+ multiplier;

    2. Since E only increases BoL and only Q removes BoL, you can choose not to use Q when BoL under 20%. Instead, you can save the 20% BoL for the next rotation now. This means you can start the NAs at 90%+ BoL in the next rotation. In fact, you can save up to 200% BoL if you like it.

    But I have to say sparing burst may lead to DPS loss at C0, depending on the situation. Just like Hutao, you need to consider when to release your burst.

    • The former version was clunky because the healing is in E not Q. If your HP dropped dangerously just after using E, you had to switch to teammates and wait for E’s cd. As for now, heal with Q and also reset E, so no worries.

    • It doesn’t say that her Q removes BoL. It just resets the CD on her E, which reusing it reset the BoL cap, and it heals her based on how much BoL she has. In fact, it seems like they removed that effect from her E as well. Assuming that the overall BoL cap is above 100%, she should be able to reach that easily.

      Of course, I could be wrong about all that because of how poorly MHY translates their skill descriptions. Guess we’ll only know for sure when she releases or we get some leaked videos from the beta.

      • Unfortunately, BoL gets removed from any healing because of its own mechanics (which means the actual healing from Father’s burst will be just the 300% ATK).
        These changes are overall a buff, but they also kinda make her more complicated to play (unnecessarily so, imo… i honestly loved her complete independency from her burst, which was just a nuke you could drop whenever you felt like it)

        • Ah I see. I forgot about that part. That does make sense. So it would make more sense to use her E, get as much BoL as you can, spam NA’s, and then use Q to reset E and start over. doesn’t seem very complicated to me. If anything, I think they streamlined her kit with these changes. That would also mean getting her C1 and C2 have huge value for her. C4 would be great too but probably more investment than most people would do.

          • I said “more complicated” (maybe not the right term) because they make her more reliant on her burst. Before, it was just a nuke you could drop whenever (even just to see that awesome animation) and the healing was linked to her skill (if it where me, i would have put it at the end of her special dash). Now she needs to have her burst up at certain times (hoping you can get enough energy by then) and can’t just use it whenever because it clears BoL.
            In the end, her rotation did get a bit more complicated (not by much, but unnecessarily imo).

  4. so best gameplay for her with this changes is E>Q>CA>E>set up support 5s>CA> spam NA

    by doing this we will get BoL 160% (80%+80%) if multiple target, 110% (40%+70%) if single target, it’s totally massive buff in my thoughts, also the increase multiplier 238% to 297% was huge

    bu I still sad bcs her c1 got nerf

    if future support char able to give BoL to our team I think, arle will receive god tier char

    • I REALLY-REALLY hope BoL isnt Arle-specific one and done, mechanic. I love this idea of being forsed into precise gameplay but not being “handicapped” with obnoxious CD restrictions like on some events or other debuff shit. And also i will definetly will be having that art set leftovers. These changes are vere fun and good, even tho they make her closer to Hutao in surface level comparison she seems to require more decision-making, being closer to Alfhaitam pre nerf (more even DMG distribution of E procs to Q burst dmg) with more incombat improvisation options, wich is always more fun than having NA bot or Q spam bot.

    • Yes, but you can also extend her rotations even longer if you wait 5s of white noise before her Q so that her E turns into Blood Debt Due, ending with 160% like you claim. I don’t think her Q would take the entirety of 5s so something needs to fill in that void so maybe a few NAs before Q.

      I’m unsure whether her burst clears her BoL though. It only says that the healing is based on her Bond of Life and atk. Doesn’t clarify that it’s a 3:1 ratio of her atk or a 1:1 ratio of her BoL. I hope it doesn’t remove it, thus a previos rotation’s remaining BoL can roll over into another rotation’s as interest.

      so max would be 105% (80%+25%) including her signature weapon
      but ngl 105% BoL is quite overpowered
      she can deal around 24 NAs

  5. It doesn’t say that her burst clears BoL… if it actually works like that and isn’t simply incorrectly worded, then it would be pretty sweet and i could be fine with her healing being moved to her burst (i kinda doubt it, but stil…).
    She could use a reduction in energy cost, though. I still feel like 60 is a bit much (even if she generates particles with both uses of her skill after CD reset, which i also doubt will be the case…).
    I still preferred the older version overall, when she could casually drop her burst nuke without worrying about stacks, survivability, and CDs attached to it.

      • Her E is set for a 30 second cooldown right now, so she’d only get one use of her skill on subsequent rotations right? That wouldn’t effect her ER needs at all? Or is HH showing the wrong number?

        • Assuming you are rotating correctly, by the time you finish a full rotation, her Skill will be ready again, thanks to the Skill CD reduction on NA. Assuming you get in 20 NAs, that’s 20 x 0.8 = 16s CD reduction. So really a 14-15s CD. By the time you go through your supports and Arle’s NA strings, it should be ready again. Assuming she has her Burst ready again, that allows you to use double Skill (EQCAECA) in every rotation.

          The main priority is ensuring her Burst is up, which should be fairly simple as long as you have at least one Pyro support/battery. C1 Chev is a great example. Fav Bennett might seem like a good option but Bennett actually doesn’t mesh that well with her anymore, his Burst is too short for her much longer rotation. You’d only get his buff for maybe about half her NAs.

  6. for a single boss
    C0R0: after e waiting for 5s, get 70% BoL, it can deal 19hits and left 19.5% BoL, then q→e wait 5s can deal 23times, so c0r0 can deal a total of **42** hits for a set combo in an ideal state. It was good news because Arlecchino does not require a Bis for necessary now.

        but due to her skill now resetting the BoL recovery ICD, I think some shenanigans are possible in multi target
        E -> Q -> CA -> E -> CA should be able to recover bond twice? idk this is just first impressions but if it works it could lead to some wacky rotations

        • Well yes 98%. Issue is it takes 2 E’s to get to it.

          E is maxed at 80% no matter what. 2, 3, 4 it does not matter how many times you use it, it never goes over 80%. As least from how it reads.

          • “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”
            I read this as meaning she can gain more than 80% BoL if she uses E again (which would only really work in AoE but I think it would be fun)

          • Nothing in her kit states the very cap of BoL she can obtain. So with E > CA >Q . CA, Arlecchino can theoretically get 160% BoL. If the CA is done early, she would get a max of 120% BoL. The changes ultimately raised her average Bond of Life held. It also doesn’t say she clears her BoL via the same method she uses to heal which is her burst. It doesn’t say anything about clearing her BoL or converting it into healing. So she could in theory roll over a previous rotations’ bond of life into the next rotation.

    • Burst no longer gives BoL, instead healing her and resetting skill CD (also the energy cost currently shows as 3 💀)
      Skill has a 30s CD, and upon use it now confirms the BoL claim CD is immediately reset
      Blood debt can only hit twice but now reaches its max level after 5s rather than 6s, and had its multiplier increased to compensate
      Masque of the red death now consumes 6.5% of current BoL, the consumption CD was reverted to 0.05s and the BoL multiplier increased to 297.5% at lv10
      Each BoL consumption from Masque of the red death reduces skill CD by 0.8s,
