According to the Genshin Impact 4.6 livestream information, when Arlecchino has a Bond of Life equal to or more than 30% of her Max HP, she receives a 30% Pyro DMG bonus. Additionally, her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted into Pyro DMG and cannot be overridden.

When Arlecchino enters the In Praise of Shadows state, her Normal Attacks will be converted to Marque of the Red Death, dealing extra DMG based on her ATK and current Bond of Life percentage.

Arlecchino's Elemental Skill is called All is Ash. Upon casting it, she disappears and summons a few red spikes called Balemoon Bloodfire that deal Pyro DMG to nearby opponents before appearing again and performing a dash-cleave on one enemy. Enemies hit by Balemoon Bloodfire will get a Blood-Debt Directive debuff applied to them, which has the following effects:

  • Lasts 30s. It will deal one instance of Pyro DMG to enemies every three seconds. Max three instances.
  • When Arlecchino uses Charged Attack, she will absorb and clear Directives from the enemies. Each Directive absorbed will grant her Bond of Life worth 20% of her Max HP.
  • Up to 80% of her Max HP worth of Bond of Life can be obtained in this way within 20 seconds after using Elemental Skill.

Furthermore, after Arlecchino performs the dash-cleave, her Bond of Life will be cleared, and Nourishing Cinders will be triggered, which will recover her HP equivalent to 100% of the Bond of Life that was cleared.

Arlecchino's Elemental Burst is called Balemoon Rising. Upon casting it, The Knave summons the great wings of Balemoon Bloodfire to obtain a Bond of Life worth 15% of her Max HP and deal AoE Pyro DMG.

Here are all three of Arlecchino's talents:

  • A1: Arlecchino can receive healing only from her Elemental Skill.
  • A4: Defeating an enemy with the Blood-Debt Directive will grant Arlecchino a Bond of Life worth 70% of her Max HP. Additionally, if she absorbs 1/2/3 Directives, she will gain an extra Bond of Life worth 20/25/70% of her Max HP.
  • Utility: Arlecchino will gain 1% Elemental and Physical RES for every 100 ATK she has above 1000. Max RES gained is 20%.

Arlecchino's signature weapon is called Crimson Moon's Semblance. Here are its stats and effects at level 90 R1 in Genshin Impact 4.6:

  • Base ATK: 674
  • Second stat: 22.1 CRIT Rate
  • Passive: The unit gains a Bond of Life worth 25% of their Max HP when they hit an enemy with a Charged Attack. In addition, when the unit has a Bond of Life, it gains a 12% DMG bonus; if the Bond of Life is equal to or more than 30% of their Max HP, it gains another 30% DMG bonus.

The weapon's stats and effects look amazing for Arlecchino. It is also worth highlighting that The Knave has a special effect that transforms her 5-star Polearm into a Scythe when she is performing her Normal and Charged Attacks. However, this effect does not work on other weapons in the game.
