Arlecchino is one of the upcoming playable characters in Genshin Impact. She has been confirmed for a release in version 4.6 as a 5-star Pyro unit that uses a Polearm as her weapon. Speaking of that, The Knave's signature weapon, called Crimson Moon's Semblance, will be a powerful 5-star polearm, which is why many fans are looking forward to it.

HoYoverse has officially revealed the stats and effects of Arlecchino's signature weapon in Genshin Impact. As per the information, the polearm will be called "Crimson Moon's Semblance" and will become available on the Epitome Invocation weapon banner, starting on April 24, 2024, as soon as version 4.6 goes live.

"When a charged attack hits an enemy, provide a Bond of Life by 25% of max HP, once every 14 seconds.

Arlecchino's signature weapon boasts a strong passive effect and dovetails her kit completely. It can inflict her with the Bond of Life status effect and buff her damage accordingly. Furthermore, it provides high base attack and crit rate stats, which are crucial for damage-dealing units.

However, one major drawback of Crimson Moon's Semblance is that no other polearm user besides Arlecchino can utilize it to its maximum potential. As of now, no other characters aside from her benefit from the Bond of Life effect in the game.

Therefore, if you are looking to maximize her damage output, it can be worth it to pull for this 5-star polearm. Although, it isn't necessary, as there are several strong weapon options for Arlecchino.


Is Crimson Moon's Semblance weapon banner good for beginners?

Crimson Moon's Semblance will be featured on the first-half weapon banner of Genshin Impact 4.6. It will be featured alongside Lyney's signature bow, called "The First Great Magic."

Considering the other offering is a strong crit DMG weapon, it can be worth it for new players to wish on the weapon banner. However, it is recommended to only do so if you have Arlecchino.
