Arlecchino’s Normal Attacks account for nearly all of her damage, so levelling them matters most. Both Skill and Burst are much less important, though Burst can be useful to level if you rely on it regularly anyway for sustain.
How to play Arlecchino: rotation
Due to Arlecchino’s damage and conversion being permanently tied to her Bond of Life, she can flexibly be swapped during her field time if required. That being said, since Arlecchino is almost always doing most of the damage on a team, doing so should be done with caution as to whether losing additional Arlecchino Normal Attacks is worth the swap.
Arlecchino’s combos are a good damage gain, and (primarily in the case of Melt) occasionally a requirement for the team to be functional! Thankfully, her baseline combos are easily accessible, provide a strong damage floor, and often will make her more fluid to play. Still, Arlecchino has a very high ceiling for optimization both in terms of rotation adjustment and combos. Experimenting with her various options is a good idea to figure out how far you can take her.
- Use her Skill at the start of the rotation to mark enemies
- Allow her mark to upgrade for 5s, casting teammate abilities in the meantime
- Swap back to Arlecchino, absorbing her mark with a Charged Attack
- Use Normal Attacks until her Skill cooldown ends
- If sufficiently relevant, (re)cast ally abilities as needed
- Only use Burst as a last resort emergency button

Combat talents
Normal
Invitation 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.

Skill
All 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.

Burst
Balemoon Rising
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.
