With the landing of the V4.6, Arlecchino 's team has been basically finalized. In this article, we mainly introduce the main teams of Arlecchino, and more news can continue to follow the article.
1. Highest DPS Team Comp
Arlecchino+Yelen+Kazuha+ Bennett
This is the team composition with the highest DPS for Arlecchino, but due to Arlecchino's healing restriction, it cannot benefit from Bennett's healing effects. With no survivability against interruptions, the team faces significant challenges. In this case, this guide recommends replacing Kazuha with either Xingqiu or Zhongli. Xingqiu not only provides interruption resistance and damage reduction but also complements the team's Hydro reactions. Zhongli, on the other hand, serves as a stabilizing factor for Arlecchino's fragile health.
Because Arlecchino's Bond of Life bypasses not only Bennett but also all support healing characters, Bennett becomes relevant again. Moreover, as Arlecchino's attack increases, so does their elemental resistance. To fully benefit from this talent effect, an attack of 3000 is required, at which point Bennett can shine. Additionally, with Arlecchino's artifacts, specialized weapon, and the insane damage multipliers from their normal attacks, the damage boost zones are off the charts. Given that Arlecchino relies on heavy attacks for damage and they are independently attached, the benefits from triggering Vaporize are substantial. The good news is that both Xingqiu and Yelen are nearly on par, as the damage multipliers are sufficient. However, players with a second Hydro character might still prefer another Hydro character.
For survivability, since support healing characters aren't viable and self-sustainability is a challenge, bringing along Zhongli is a temporary solution, especially since the damage boost zones are filled and resistance reduction zones are rare. If Arlecchino has inherent resistance to interruption, replacing Xingqiu and Yelen with Kazuha could be even more potent, making it a pure Pyro team.
Currently, Arlecchino's biggest issue is the lack of a stable Hydro teammate for AoE damage, with Xingqiu being the best choice available.
2. Overload the highest DPS team
Arlecchino +Chevreuse+Bennett+ Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort
This is the team composition with the highest Vaporize DPS for Arlecchino, requiring only one additional character to form a complete team. However, survival issues still persist. In this case, this guide suggests replacing Bennett with either Thoma or Beidou to improve survivability. Thoma's shield seamlessly refreshes Arlecchino's stamina with every normal attack, while also providing a 15% increase in normal attack damage, greatly enhancing the overall experience.
3. Vaporize Team Comp
Arlecchino+ Furina+Xingqiu+Bennett
Xingqiu and Furina can trigger the Dual Hydro Resonance effect, indirectly boosting Arlecchino's Pyro damage by increasing the maximum HP of all party members. Bennett and Arlecchino can trigger the Dual Pyro Resonance effect, reducing the duration of being affected by Cryo by 40% for the entire team, while also increasing the base ATK of the entire team by 25%. Furina and Bennett can provide healing effects for the entire team, while Xingqiu applies Hydro to enemies, allowing Arlecchino's skill to deal significant damage upon hitting enemies.
As for other team compositions focusing on Arlecchino's Pyro and Melt reaction with increased attack speed, the outlook is currently not very promising, so no recommendations are provided for now. Clorinde in version 4.7 might become a key addition to Arlecchino's lineup.
Summary
Based on the above, Arlecchino's team composition directions are now clear. There are three main directions: Vaporize, Overload, and Melt (fully equipped limited edition) team compositions.
Firstly, let's discuss the Vaporize team, which is the optimal team recommended by this guide. Players who frequently pay attention to Arlecchino should be familiar with this team. It possesses extreme burst damage and exceptional pre-damage capabilities, along with a considerable range of attack, making it adaptable and versatile. The only drawback is Arlecchino's survivability, as it requires dodging some high-damage enemy skills.
Next, let's consider the choice of an Overload team. The previously mentioned recommended team is well-suited for players with more modest resources and offers high playability.
