Best Arlecchino teams in Genshin Impact

Just bring Bennett.

Genshin Impact has no shortage of on-field Pyro DPS characters, but Arlecchino stands out as a unique addition to the roster. Her Bond of Life mechanic and inability to receive team healing adds some nuance to Arlecchino’s team-building strategies, but her quirks may more t🍬han makeup for all those Wishes.

With a variety of team compositions in mind, here are some of my suggestions for the best Arlecchino teams to try in Genshin Impact!

General teambuilding advice for Arlecchino

Arlecchino has a passive that makes her unable to receive healing from teammates. You can still bring a healer if you want to heal🏅 your other teammates, but Arlecchino has to sustain herself.

Since Arlecchino’s only source of healing is her own Burst, and she spends a long time on-field, it can be nice to have a defensive teammate. Healing may not be useful, but Arlecchino appreciates shielding and damage reduction. Characters🍌 like Zhongli, Xiꦿngqiu, and Beidou will help keep Arlecchino alive if you cannot use her Burst consistently.

Best Arlecchino mono Pyro teams

Mono Pyro teams are the most straightforward to ꦍplay. These teams work by buffing Pyro damage as much as possible and letting Arlecchino take full advantage of buff uptime. Here are some mono Pyro teams that work with Arlecchino.

Arlecchino – Bennett – Kazuha – Xiangling

Bennett, Kazuha, and Xiangling form a powerful Pyro 🥀core. Arlecchino takes advantage of Bennett and Kazuha’s buffs to become a potent on-field Pyro DPS. She won’t receive healing from Bennett, but she can still receive his buffs. As an added bonus, the three Pyro characters can all provide Energy for each other, reducing everyone’s Energy Recharge requirements. Just make sure Xiangling is standing in Bennett’s circle when she uses her Burst.

If you don’t have Kazuha, you can replace him with any A꧃nemo character holding the 4pc Viridescent Venerer set. You’ll miss out on Kazuha’s DMG buffs, but at least you’ll get the꧂ RES shred from the 4VV artifact set.

Arlecchino – Zhongli – Bennett – Yun Jin

If you want to escape Xiangling, try a double Geo team instead. Zhongli provides valuable shielding while Yun Jin buffs Arlecchino’s Norm👍al Attacks. Geo Resonance provides additional buffs while Arlecchino is shielded.

I don’t recommend replacing Zhongli or Bennett, but you can replace Yun Jin with Albedo or Chiori. This results in less personal damage from Arlecchino herself, but y﷽ou’ll gain some off-field Geo damage instead. The optimal choice depends on how well-built your Arlecchino is compared to your Albedo/Chiori.

Best Arlecchino Vaporize teams

As a Pyro DPS, Arlecchino can trigger reverse Vaporize with her Pyro-infused Normal Attacks. Pai꧂r her with one or two off-field Hydro characters and make sure the enemy always has a Hydro aura. Here are some exa🐼mples of Arlecchino Vaporize teams.

  • Arlecchino – Xingqiu/Yelan – Bennett – Kazuha/Sucrose
  • Arlecchino – Zhongli/Layla – Xingqiu – Yelan
  • Arlecchino – Furina – Yelan – Jean

Be cautious when pairing Arlecchino with Furina. Furina will drain Arlecchino’s HP, so you will need to co𓃲nsistently use Arlecchino’s Burst to stay๊ alive.
