Arlecchino is naturally the best candidate for the Crimson Moon's Semblance in Genshin Impact. As mentioned earlier, the 5-star polearm is her signature weapon and her best-in-slot to bring out her true damage potential.

Crimson Moon's Semblance passive can easily be triggered by Arlecchino who can gain Bond of Life through her kit and passive ability.

2) Hu Tao

Besides being an impeccable Pyro DPS unit, Hu Tao is also one of the oldest meta characters in Genshin Impact. Her CRIT Rate stats are always desirable if you want to deal consistent damage.

Hu Tao's main damage comes from her charge attacks which will also help her easily trigger the passive. Although she cannot fully capitalize on the passive, the additional DMG buff is still better than most of her 4-star options.

3) Cyno

Crimson Moon's Semblance can be one of the better 5-star options for Cyno in Genshin Impact. The weapon's high base ATK and CRIT Rates are always good for main DPS units like him. It's easy to proc part of the passive to get the additional DMG bonus buff.

Although many use healers in his teams, it is recommended to use a shielder when using Crimson Moon's Semblance in this case. This will increase the uptime of the Blood of Moon buff from the passive.

4) Xiangling

Despite her 4-star rarity, Xiangling is the only character who can use nearly every polearm weapon in Genshin Impact without losing too much damage. This also includes the new 5-star Crimson Moon's Semblance, which provides an extremely high base ATK and CRIT Rate for consistent damage.

Additionally, she is one of the oldest and most consistent meta characters in the game, so using this polearm would only benefit her.

5) Rosaria

Rosaria is a very underrated character in Genshin Impact. She is a Sub-DPS unit who can use her elemental burst to increase the CRIT Rate of nearby party members. The CRIT buff is based on her own CRIT Rate, making Crimson Moon's Semblance a strong option for her.

While there are other weapons with higher CRIT stats, they cannot help Rosaria increase her damage potential the way the 5-star Crimson Moon's Semblance will.
