Genshin Impact saw the arrival of Arlecchino "The Knave" in the version 4.6 update. The 5-star Fatui Harbinger is a Pyro DPS character who uses polearm weapons. Her unique kit relies on Bond of Life values and normal attacks as its main source of damage. Such a strong DPS unit deserves to be equipped with the best weapon.

In Arlecchino's case, that would be her signature weapon, Crimson Moon's Semblance. It is not possible to obtain it for every character, especially if you are a F2P or low-spender. As such, this article will highlight some of the best alternatives to it in Genshin Impact.


Primordial Jade-Winged Spear and other Alternatives to Arlecchino's signature weapon in Genshin Impact

After Crimson Moon's Semblance, the Primordial Jade-Winged Spear is the best option for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact. This 5-star polearm has the exact base ATK and CRIT stats as her signature weapon but with a different passive effect.

The weapon's passive provides tons of ATK% buffs that can increase Arlecchino's damage and reach 20% All Elemental and Physical RES through her ascension passive. You can obtain this weapon from the standard banner, which makes it extremely F2P-friendly.


2) Staff of Scarlet Sands

Staff of Scarlet Sands is a strong alternative to Crimson Moon's Semblance and potentially her second-best alternative after Primordial Jade-Winged Spear. This 5-star polearm has low base ATK but high CRIT stats that can help it reach the golden 1:2 CRIT ratio in Genshin Impact.

This weapon is pretty competitive with Arleccino's signature weapon if you are playing her in vaporize or melt teams.


3) Staff of Homa

Staff of Homa is Hu Tao's signature and a strong 5-star alternative to Arlecchino's signature weapon. The polearm provides decent base ATK and high CRIT DMG stats, making it easy to stack tons of CRIT DMG on her.

The weapon's passive effect provides additional HP, which increases her survivability during combat. Furthermore, you can get tons of ATK% buffs from the 5-star polearm passive effect when Staff of Homa is in use in Genshin Impact.


4) Deathmatch

Deathmatch is the best 4-star alternative you can use equipped on Arlecchino in Genshin Impact. This polearm is a Battle Pass-only weapon with decent base ATK and CRIT stats that will help it reach the golden 1:2 CRIT ratio.

Furthermore, this weapon's passive also provides the wielder with ATK% and DEF% buffs for more damage and survivability. This passive makes it perform relatively better in single-target scenarios. Overall, it is the best 4-star option you currently have in the version 4.6 update.


5) Ballad of the Fjords

Ballad of the Fjords is a 4-star polearm added to the Battle Pass roster after the release of the Fontaine region. Its base ATK and CRIT stats are pretty similar to Deathmatch, but these weapons have different passive effects.

You can get 120 Elemental Mastery from this entry's passive in Genshin Impact. As part of a vaporize team, this 4-star polearm can be on par with Deathmatch and other alternatives when this effect is active.


6) Dragon's Bane

Dragon's Bane is a great 4-star alternative to Arlecchino's signature if you want to use this unit in reaction-based lineups. It's a low-base ATK weapon with high EM stats but with strong buffers on the team, it shouldn't affect her damage ceiling that much.

The weapon's passive increases the wielder's damage against opponents affected by a Pyro or Hydro element. You can have 100% uptime on this effect when using vaporize and melt teams.


7) White Tassel

White Tassel is one of the best F2P alternatives to Arlecchino's signature weapon in Genshin Impact. This 3-star option has low base ATK, decent CRIT stats, and a passive effect that has synergy with this unit's playstyle.

Its passive increases normal attack damage. With higher refinements, this 3-star weapon has the potential to outperform all 4-star alternatives.
