Here is a list of the best artifact sets to use for Arlecchino's build in Genshin Impact:

4-pc Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy
4-pc Gladiator's Finale
4-pc Gilded Dream
2-pc combo (Pyro/ATK/EM)

Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is a new artifact set introduced in the Genshin Impact 4.6 update. It is the best in-slot artifact set to farm for Arlecchino. You can farm it from the new artifact domain, Faded Theatre, located in the Nostoi region of Fontaine.

While you are still looking for decent pieces, Arlecchino can be equipped with a four-piece set of Gladiator or Gilded. The former focuses more on normal attack damage, while the latter is excellent when used in Vaporize teams. You can also opt for two-piece combos if you have better sub-stats.

For your artifact's stats, it's best to use the following:

Sands: ATK% or EM
Goblet: Pyro Damage Bonus or ATK%
Circlet: CRIT-Rate or CRIT-Damage

The best stats will vary based on the unit's weapon, artifacts, teams, and more.

Best Arlecchino team comps in Genshin Impact

As a Pyro main DPS, Arlecchino will perform great in the usual Pyro-based teams. Here is a list of the best team compositions for her in the version 4.6 update:

Arlecchino + Bennett + Xingiu + Zhongli
Arlecchino + Bennett + Xingiu + Yelan
Arlecchino + Chevreuse + Beidou + Fischl
Arlecchino + Bennett + Xiangling + Zhongli
Arlecchino + Bennett + Xiangling + Kazuha
Arlecchino + Bennett + Zhongli + Chiori

There are no healers in the team compositions listed above. This is due to Arlecchino's ascension passive, which doesn't allow her to restore HP from other party members. Thus, the primary source of defensive support for her best teams will be shielders such as Zhongli, Thoma, etc. They will provide strong shields to prevent and increase resistance to interruption, which she lacks at C0.
