1. If her infused NA take 5.5% of current BoL (so BoL = BoL * 0.945) then C1 could be broken, with only 35% BoL (no BiS, just E solo target + Q) mean value of amount of infused hits is ~51 with ~66% chance to get at least 7 hits instead of 3. 40% BoL (two enemies E) mean value ~77 hits and 90% to get at least 9 hits.

   Either NA take 5.5% of Max HP from BoL or C1 has cooldown

   • to keep it simple: with average luck and c1 you lose 11%-5% = 6% with 3 hits -> 2% with 1 hit and without c1 you lose 5,5% so yeah it’s way better.
     when you play her correctly you get 85% in a single target situation and not 35% (Agony Alone May Be Repaid) so without c1 you have enough for 10 hits befor hitting 30% BoL and with c1 it doesn’t matter because it is so much you never get below 30% before refreshing the cicle. the most important thing is that your dmg multiplier decays way less with c1.

     • dmg multiplier decay way less and also she becomes way more self sustainable.

2. Holy Word Vomit, Batman!

   Jokes aside, I barely understood an iota of this kit (not for a lack of trying, mind you). All I know is that she is oriented around her Normal Attack. Could any kind soul give me the Razor Language version of this kit? I’m going to get some sleep in the meantime.

   • She has a extra Power meter that she can build up and spend, it shows up as part of your Health Bar turning Red (this is the Bond of Life mechanic, but you don’t need to understand it beyond that because Arlecchino’s own passives make the normal function irrelevant)

     Press E for area damage, teleport to and slash an enemy, and Mark hit enemies.

     Marked enemies add a big chunk of Red Bar when you kill them.

     Charge Attack eats Marks from enemies it hits, and adds a small chunk of Red Bar for each Mark eaten. If you wait for 6 seconds after Marking an enemy to eat the Mark, it adds a big chunk of Red Bar instead.

     Press Q for big area damage, and a small chunk of Red Bar.

     Normal Attacks spend a bit of Red Bar to do Pyro damage. Having more Red Bar makes them do even more damage.

     Pressing E while you have any Red Bar eats all the Red Bar and heals you for the same amount. This is the only way Arlecchino can heal in combat, teammate heals don’t work.

   • IMO, you can use: kazuha, yunjin (for NA buff), dehya/zhongli (for interruption res). For reaction: mona, yelan, nahida (burning comp), chev and fischl (overload comp), etc.

     Just dont use a massive amount healer or dont bring at all, it will ruin her Bond of Life mechanics. And in her passive, i think she can only heal herself? Idk, my english is not that great hihi

   • E to mark enemies. CA to consume the marks and power up her NA’s. NA until her powerup runs out. Burst whenever to do a pyro nuke and prolong her powerup a little. Repeat.

     Xingqiu is very likely to be good with her. Her E heals herself, but it’s the *only* way she can be healed in combat, so other shielders or incoming damage reducers are preferred.

     Her cons look like a pretty consistent power curve. She seems pretty complete at C0, but C1 will make her powered up state last for more attacks.

     • Does the E skill mean she can apply Pyro to enemies off field? 1 instance of attack per 3s for 30s is not bad, especially if you can mark multiple enemies with it.

   • I believe the general would be stack Bond of Life with her E and Burst, at least over 30% of her HP as per her NA talent description then you do a few NA with CA, don’t know about ICD to determine N1C or N2, N3 maybe even N4 just yet.
     Teammate there’s Bennentt for ATK buff and Nobless, Kazuha for extra Pyro dmg and bit of VV shred, Hydro unit like Xingqiu, Yelan, Mona even. Cryo there’s Kaeya, Layla, Rosaria. I think the only one I can say for sure would be Bennett for the massive atk buff he give. The rest will have to wait for more info.
     For constellation I think any Cons is good. From the looks of it, I think weapon might be better choice. Take all speculation and theorycraft with a grain of salt, theory set a good baseline to expect but practical test would be very different.

8. Here are a few questions about Arlecchino.
   1. Can she use Furina?
   2. Can she use Hunter set?
   3. She plays around debt, her BiS gives her debt, is BiS must pull?

   • 1. They don’t really go together, but can you force it sure?
     2. Not really no.
     3. She can work without it but you’ll lose out on a lot of bonus’s.

     • How about 2 pyro + 2 hunter or any 2+2 combo? Her BiS set looks strong, but farm it with burn set is meh… And it’s not so easy to get a strong new set, you know.

   • If I may reply, based on my understandings:
     1. she is not good with Furina in my opinion if we talking about her buff since Furina’s buff needs our hp increased or decreased over time, and Arlecchino cannot be healed by any of healer characters. Yelan and Xingqiu might be the best option for her.
     2. She can’t use hunter set, because what increasing and decreasing overtime is the bond of life, not her hp. I guess she’ll use the new set.
     3. In my opinion, if the enemies are many, we can get the full stack of bond of life easily, so I guess she doesn’t need her BiS too much.

     All above are based on my thought so feel free to criticize, thank you~

   • 1. No since she cant heal mean she cant stack Furina buff
     2. No she wont heal and she will be optimum using shileder so stacking Hunter set will be pain in the ass
     3. she play around Bond of Life buff not Blood Debt, without Bond of Life buff she cant do huge dmg..her signiture weapon provide her with Bond of Life buff probabily make her less clunky to play

   • 1. only with c2/above Furina
     2. can be used when teaming up with Furina, but new artifact is more suitable
     3. yea… BiS is more important than c1, and it will become a sickle when Arlecchino use it, but f2p just ignore it

10. My first thoughts on Arlecchino:

    She seems like the most complex main DPS character since Alhaitham. It seem she is mostly a normal attacker based on what I have been reading in the comments from others. I heard folks saying she is going to contend against Hu Tao as the best Pyro main DPS. This could indeed be true but we of course need to wait to see what, if any changes are made to Arlecchino in the beta.

    If she really is twice as strong as Hu Tao as folks are saying, then I can see her getting nerfed somewhat so the power gap isn’t as overwhelming, like how Chiori was nerfed in beta to make her superiority over Albedo less glaring.

    She primarily seems designed to be anti-synergistic with Furina (who is starting to become a little over-centralizing) which is good thing for team building variety.

    I really hope she is not locked into using reverse-vape like Hu Tao and can also make use out of Chevruse Overload or Forward Melt as well.

    • Overload just simply isn’t good. I actually doubt all the leaks about her Overload kit were wrong, and instead Hoyo just changed their minds as they couldn’t make it competitive at all. The last thing you want as a normal attacker is to use a reaction that sends enemies flying.

      She can Vape a lot with just Yelan and Xingqui and it adds a massive bonus to her DPS, so i fully expect her to be Vape all the way.

      But will she be locked? No. She will be strong enough without it that you can easily run her with a pure pyro team or whatever else you wanna do. As long as she’s not nerfed to be “More in line” with Hu Tao. Coz Vape Hu Tao is strong, so if you make Arle more in line she will fall behind her while not using Vape herself which just wouldn’t be that good.

      Arle’s fandom is pretty huge, so i don’t see her being nerfed in such a way. At least i hope not.

      • overload is really not bad for her. Arlecchino has a lot of movement in her kit to catch enemies with, including her skill and charged attack, plus the N6 of her NA chain. Chevreuse pretty much can give nearly as much atk% as Arlecchino would like and I doubt Bennett would become very popular, considering he is double edged and can’t heal arlecchino, making the pyro reactions that hit her almost kill her unless there is Xingqiu in the team, In Chevreuse’s team, she doesn’t need to stay in circle impact and has defensive utility given by a more offensive option than Zhongli through Beidou.

        If you fail to dodge with Arlecchino, then there are gonna be a lot of problems with using Bennett without a shielder, interruption resistance, or Xingqiu. Arlecchino can heal at most once per 15 seconds. If she takes significant damage during that downtime, it could ruin player experience and can also be more dangerous to just play her with bennett. It’s basically glass cannon team. Arle doesn’t have the HP to back herself up.

        • For me, 5k overloads that send enemies flying don’t really… add much if you know what i mean. If you don’t build EM, overload won’t do anything compared to Arle’s own numbers. Be like poking someone with a needle when you’ve already blown their head off. It’s just… pointless.

          • The video beta tester made shows nothing really important. Even infusion is not shown. Anyways, waiting for combat tests.
            More important, who’s the team? No reason to use healer with her, she cheats her atk just like Hu, so I don’t think Benny is her teammate.
            There are two cases:
            1. She’ll be on low hp almost always and will die from any shot, and you’ll be had to use shield.
            2. Her HP will be OK and dashes will be enough.
            Yeah, I know, dashes are enough anyway, but let’s talk seriously.
            I see her teams are Hu Tao’s. I don’t see the reason why you should use another team with her. Something like “XQ + Yelan + Kazuha/ZL” Or “XQ + Mona” or any Hu Tao team ever used.
            The interesting things will start if we’ll discover her status is much stronger than Tao’s (I’ve heared so) and we can use her as a driver, but I don’t know.
            Forget about overload or anything. No direct buff – no reason to use.
            Anyway, it’s obvious she’ll have complex gameplay for herself and I like it. She’ll work nicely in classic vape or melt teams.

          • I don’t think anyone specifically builds EM for overload? The overload reaction itself is not what makes overload good, it’s how Chevreuse allows overload teams to have a Kazuha tier buff while barely taking any field time. It’s annoying when you have to deal with small enemies that can be sent flying around though

          • That’s great and all, but i’d rather just use Kazuha.

    • My question is : “Does C6 of Chevreus works with her?”
      As I know, Arle only receives heal from her self. She cant be healed by other character.
      So, C0 Bennett won’t works if her HP under 70%.

      • My opinion is: “Chevreus will be best in slot in Arlech team”.
        But….. There is one remark. I think that BIS team will be Arlech\Clorinde\Chevr\XXXX
        Clorinde in my opinion will have shield mechanics that Arlech needs and strong off\field damage.

        The developers are trying to drive us into the devil’s snare.

    • Hu Tao isn’t even the best anymore, since Xianyun anyways (see the countless Diluc comps that are scoring 500k-1m dmg per plunge). But in terms of genuine dps, as long as you have c2, Arle looks to be doing far more damage in 10-20s damage windows, which puts her far above Hu Tao.

      • You do realize Hu Tao does more Plunge DPS than Diluc right?
        Not to mention with a much faster rotation and that you can bring Yelan instead of Bennett alongaide Furina

      • I disagree as Diluc will have issues vaping all of his plunge attacks and he is still heavily reliant on Bennet, while Hu Tao doesn’t need Bennet since she buffs her own attack by so much. And of course Hu Tao can also use Xianyun to include plunging attacks.

        In terms of how this relates to Arlecchino, her raw damage (as of now) does seem noticeably higher than Hu Tao, but in exchange she is trickier to play with since she has to self-sustain herself since she is not able to receive external healing.

        I feel that having a good shielder like Zhong Li or Layla will be necessary for most players as it is going to take a great amount of skill otherwise for Arlecchino to stay alive against very enemies that hit hard (like the concentrated beasts, if/when they come back to Abyss).
