Arlecchino’s signature Crimson Moon’s Semblance polearm is perfect for her since it is the only weapon (yet) in the game which utilizes the Bond of life mechanic and it offers substantial offensive capabilities.

This synergizes perfectly with Arlecchino’s playstyle, enhancing her damage output while complementing her unique mechanics, making it the ideal choice for unleashing her “damage per screenshot” potential

If you’re unlucky and didn’t win your gacha pulls, alternatives like the Staff of Homa, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, Deathmatch, and Blackcliff Pole offer valuable buffs to critical rate, ATK, and CRIT DMG can be slotted into this best Arlecchino build.

Arlecchino can have multiple artifact combinations depending on your playstyle, but it is important to note that the upcoming “Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy” artifact in Genshin Impact 4.6 update is the only artifact utilizing the Bond of Life mechanic.

With that in mind, we recommend the following Arlecchino artifacts for the best Arlecchino build.

ARLECCHINO ARTIFACTSARLECCHINO DESCRIPTION
Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy2-Pieces:ATK +18%.
4-Pieces:When the value of a Bond of Life increases or decreases, this character deals 18% increased DMG for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
Crimson Witch of Flames
2-Pieces:Pyro DMG Bonus +15%
4-Pieces:Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using Elemental Skill increases the 2-Piece Set Bonus by 50% of its starting value for 10s. Max 3 stacks.
Marechaussee Hunter2-Pieces:Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15%
4-Pieces:When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.
Gladiator’s Finale2-Pieces:ATK +18%.
4-Pieces:If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.

The 4-piece The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy offers a perfect synergy with her playstyle which amplifies Arlecchino’s damage whenever she has stacks of Bond of life.

However, if the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is unavailable, other artifact sets can serve as viable substitutes. The Crimson Witch of Flames set enhances Pyro damage and elemental reactions.
