After much waiting, another of the Fatui Harbingers arrived as a playable character, and she is in fourth place among the 11 members, which can tell you much about her power. Initially, many thought The Knave would be a stronger Hu Tao due to how the HP mechanics work for her. Since this is a playstyle that many Genshin Impact players aren’t familiar with, is pulling for Arlecchino a good decision? Will she lead your team to new heights as a great DPS? Or will she take a step back and stay benched like many others before her?
Is Arlecchino Good or Bad For Your Team in Genshin Impact?
In short, pulling for Arlecchino is worth it! I was amazed when I luckily got her by winning the 50/50. I had no idea what materials she needed, nor did I have any more Primogems to pull her weapon. However, I saw how much damage she does without any of her Constellations or a fancy polearm. I just equipped her with a White Tassel, even though I know it’s not the best polearm for her. Although Crimson Moon’s Semblance is her signature weapon, compared with White Tassel R5, the difference was about 30%. In some builds, Crimson Moon reaches approximately 130K; White Tassel reached approximately 120K. So, if you don’t have the Primogems or the opportunity to take out a second mortgage if you don’t have a 5-star weapon, White Tassel is an excellent option.
Although I’m probably a bit biased towards “Father,” I can say that I found her gameplay a bit complicated because of her Bond of Life. Of course, this ability is what makes her unique. See, I’m used to relying on my healers, but they can’t heal my Harbinger. So, if you, like me, use healers and shielders often, the learning curve is more significant. When you master it, no enemy can fight Arlecchino because another of her advantages is that she doesn’t lose buffs when she leaves the field. You can continue her combos once she returns to the field, as she never left. Unlike some characters who cancel their burst when you swap them, you mustn’t start her rotation again. Just consider that if you are in C0, it is more likely that her attacks will be interrupted.
Also, for the more adventurous players, The Knave is ideal for exploration as she can levitate as long as her infusion is active. Her movement depends not on stamina or any other extra bar like Wanderer. Arlecchino has a lot of surprises in her kit and is an absolute joy to have in your Genshin Impact roster, so pulling her is a good idea. If you have enough Primogems, take this opportunity, or you can always try to pawn your soul for more of this sweet currency. It might work, right?
