Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Update Developers Discussion: Highlights

1. Increased Original Resin Cap

Original Resin is a crucial resource in Genshin Impact, used to claim rewards from various activities such as Ley Line Outcrops, Domains, and bosses. Previously, players had a maximum of 160 Original Resin, which regenerated at a rate of 1 Resin every 8 minutes.

However, after Version 4.7, HoYoverse will be increasing the cap to 200. With the constant expansion of the Teyvat map, this increased Resin cap will surely help players who play the game daily.

2. Increased Enhancement Materials and food cap

Developers have increased the inventory cap for Weapon Enhancement Materials from 9,999 to 99,999. The limits for Forging Ores, Character EXP Materials, and Artifact Enhancement Materials will also see an increase in the new Version. Additionally, the cap for Ingredients will rise from 2,000 to 9,999.

3. Increased Friend cap

Starting from Version 4.7 Update, players can add up to 100 friends at once.

4. Recommended Stats function

Lastly, The Version 4.7 Update of the game introduces a Recommended Stats feature for the artifact custom configurations. This enhancement, accessible via the Fast Equip > Custom Configuration menu, aims to streamline the process of optimizing characters by automatically filling in recommended artifact sets and attributes.

The recommendations are based on data from active players, ensuring that your configurations are both effective and efficient. To read more about the Artifacts in Genshin Impact, refer to our guide here.

Final Thoughts

That concludes the Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Developers Discussion. This time, the developers are focusing on enhancing the gameplay experience. The increased Original Resin cap is a significant improvement, offering much-needed support to players as they navigate the ever-expanding number of new domains and world bosses.

Genshin Impact Artifacts Guide: Important Tips

Check the Stats

In Genshin Impact, Flower and Plume artifacts are guaranteed to have HP and ATK as the main stat, respectively. But apart from that, the artifacts can range from a variety of buffs considering their rarity. With that, you can have a 3-star artifact with the main attribute being ATK% and another one that gives HP. Not that we have any prejudice against HP, but to be fair, your DPS will benefit a lot more from stats like ATK% and Elemental Mastery. Try to prioritize your artifacts with:

• Sands: ATK % > Elemental Mastery > Elemental Recharge
• Goblet: ATK % Elemental Bonus > Physical Bonus
• Circlet: Critical Rate % > Critical Damage % > ATK %

But having good stats isn’t all, because you still need to upgrade them.

Once you have the right Set with an artifact that has your preferred stat as its main stat, is time to start improving them. To upgrade an artifact you will use other artifacts, and their level plays an important role in how much XP they will increase the bar. At each level, the main stat increases, at every 4 levels you get a bonus stat. If your artifact has reached the maximum stats possible, it will improve a random stat. Each artifact has limits based on its rarity as follows:

Keep exploring, levelling, and looting

Of course, it is useful to have Great 3-Star artifacts set in Genshin Impact. But 5-star sets, as shown, have more stats and can be upgraded to higher levels. Once you have a good set, don’t take everything for granted and keep looking for more artifacts that suit your build in Genshin Impact. Each artifact has random stats and you should keep trying until you get the one you want with the stats you want. Here are some tables for consulting.

The enemies discussed today can be farmed by following the Adventurer’s Handbook. The new mobs are all classified as high-tier Elite enemies. This means it may prove to be difficult to fight especially if the bosses are put in the Spiral Abyss. In this guide, we will give tips and tricks to navigate and defeat the new enemies of Version 4.6 in Genshin Impact.

How to defeat new enemies in Genshin Impact Version 4.6

Here we have listed the new enemies in the Genshin Impact version 4.6 update with tips to defeat them.

Fatui Operatives

What is Bond of Life

In combat, these enemies will use the Hunt Down skill to attach a Life Bond to characters they hit. While Life Bond is active, the character will take continuous DMG, and Hunt Down will deal more DMG to them.

Fatui Operatives: Wind Operative

An elite agent among the Fatui. “Operatives” have no ordinary military rank among the Fatui. Based on their orders and the content of their missions, they can work in concert with other soldiers, work alone, or in tandem with the “tacks” hidden and scattered across the world.

They spy, conduct counter-espionage, protect, assassinate, and conduct other tasks. To effectively carry out missions of a more special nature, “Operatives” also need to master all kinds of other skills and even various arts and talents.

• Materials Dropped: Old Operative’s Pocket Watch, Operative’s Standard Pocket Watch, Operative’s Constancy 
• Classification: Fatui Operatives
• Damage inflicted: Anemo

Attack Patterns and Abilities

• Fakeout: Raises a barrier in front of herself. If attacked from the front while the barrier is active, the DMG deal will be nullified and the Operative will teleport to the player’s location and strike down with her cane, dealing Anemo DMG. The strike-down can also be triggered if the Wind Operative is attacked multiple times.
• Spikefield: Marks an area around the player and deals Anemo DMG in that area. 
• Galeshot: Consecutively fires 1, 1, and 2 wind orbs at the player. Each orb deals 50% ATK in the first 2 waves and 60% ATK in the final wave respectively as Anemo DMG on hit. If the player gets too close during the first shot, the Wind Operative will follow up with Spikefield.

Hunt Down: Sacrifices 5% of her Max HP (or 25% of current HP if HP percentage is under 20%) to initiate Hunt Down: Locks onto the player, teleports her cane above the player which then strikes down, dealing Anemo DMG. 

• If the first hit connects, the cane will then release a wind blast, dealing 100% ATK as Anemo DMG.
• If the player is hit by the first hit of this attack, they will receive a Life Bond equal to 16% of the Operative’s ATK.
• As long as this Life Bond is active, it will also be affected by a Corrosion status which drains 0.4% Max HP + 72 every second.
• If the affected character is off-field, they cannot be brought below 5% Max HP by this Corrosion. However, on-field characters can die.
• If the Hunt Down attack hits a character affected by this Life Bond, it will deal 250% of its original DMG. This Life Bond is stackable. This Life Bond lasts for 10 minutes if not cleared.

Fatui Operatives: Frost Operative

An elite agent among the Fatui. Selected while still children, they can only become an “Operative” after many long years of training and teaching, after countless rounds have winnowed the field. They are the most outstanding soldiers among the Fatui, with extraordinary skill and unswerving loyalty.

• Materials Dropped: Old Operative’s Pocket Watch, Operative’s Standard Pocket Watch, Operative’s Constancy 
• Classification: Fatui Operatives
• Damage inflicted: Cryo

Attack Patterns and Abilities

• Blinkchase: Teleports near the player and thrusts forward, dealing Cryo DMG.
• Spinslash: Performs a spinning slash, dealing Cryo DMG.
• Swiftblade: Performs a cross slash, fires an ice blast, and performs a blackflip slash, dealing Cryo DMG.

Hunt Down: Sacrifices 5% of her Max HP (or 25% of current HP if HP percentage is under 20%) to initiate Hunt Down: Locks onto the player, teleports her cane above the player which then strikes down, dealing Cryo DMG. 

• If the first hit connects, the cane will then release a wind blast, dealing 100% ATK as Cryo DMG.
• If the player is hit by the first hit of this attack, they will receive a Life Bond equal to 16% of the Operative’s ATK.
• As long as this Life Bond is active, it will also be affected by a Corrosion status which drains 0.4% Max HP + 72 every second.
• If the affected character is off-field, they cannot be brought below 5% Max HP by this Corrosion. However, on-field characters can die.
• If the Hunt Down attack hits a character affected by this Life Bond, it will deal 250% of its original DMG. This Life Bond is stackable. This Life Bond lasts for 10 minutes if not cleared.

How to defeat Wind Operative/Frost Operative in Genshin Impact Version 4.6

To defeat the Wind and Frost Operative, focus on exploiting weaknesses by attacking from behind or using abilities that penetrate barriers, while staying mobile to avoid Spikefield and Galeshot attacks. Make use of i-frames and dash accordingly to dodge the attacks.

Coordinate with a balanced team, prioritize clearing the Life Bond debuff inflicted by her Hunt Down ability, and capitalize on openings to deal significant damage. Against the Frost Operative, break her Glacial Barrier quickly, and interrupt her attacks with crowd control abilities. The best way to remove the Bond of Life is to heal yourself from the debuff.

Xuanwen Beasts, named for the dark patterns on their bodies, are fierce creatures that inhabit the mountains of Chenyu Vale. In the region’s folklore, these beasts were the servants of an Adeptus in ancient times, tasked with vanquishing evil and protecting the region. However, they devolved into brutal creatures after Adeptus passed away. 

These legends cannot be verified, and no one knows the true identity of this Adeptus. This much is for sure, however — one should stay away from these aggressive creatures for one’s safety. For over a thousand years, these beasts have lost a tremendous amount of territory that once belonged to them to relentless human encroachment. These days, they can only occasionally be spotted in the remote mountains of Chenyu Vale.

• Materials Dropped: Feathery Fin, Lunar Fin, Chasmlight Fin
• Classification: Mystical Beasts
• Damage inflicted: Anemo & Hydro

Attack Patterns and Abilities

• Double Swipe: Swipes its claws for two melee strikes, dealing Anemo DMG. 
• Charged Swipe: Forms a vortex around its claw and performs a single swipe, dealing Anemo DMG. 
• Windblade: Performs a flip, launching a wind blade from its tail towards the player, Anemo DMG on hit. 
• Orb Volley: Conjures 4 water orbs and fires them at the player, each dealing Hydro DMG on hit. 
• Chase: If the player is far away, charges at the player and attacks twice with its claws, dealing Anemo DMG.

How to defeat Xuanwen Beast in Genshin Impact Version 4.6

The beast moves very quickly, slashing and making swift attacks on your character. Make use of i-frames and dashes to maneuver yourself from the attacks. The Xuanwen Beast has high Hydro and Anemo resistance so it’s best to use other Elements besides these. The most effective way to deal with the mob is to use Elemental Reactions to freeze it and use Shatter, Melt, and other Elemental Reactions to break the ice, rendering it immobile temporarily.

Praetorian Golem

A moving statue shaped like a warrior who will swing their sword at all who dare trespass upon the area under their guardianship. It is unclear if it is a soul or magic that powers them. They say that legions of golems once conquered the nations that called the High Sea home, and this might have been among their number. The great towers and palaces that now sleep beneath the waves once bore witness to the fate of those who stand in the path of the wheel of fate.

• Materials Dropped: Ruined Hilt, Splintered Hilt, Still-Smoldering Hilt
• Classification: Mystical Beasts
• Damage inflicted: Pyro & Geo

Attack Patterns and Abilities

The Praetorian Golem is protected by a Geo shield that increases its resistance to all DMG by 50%. The shield is weakest against Blunt Attacks. If the shield is destroyed, the Praetorian Golem will become paralyzed for 8 seconds before regaining its shield.

• Double Swing: Swings its greatsword twice, dealing Pyro DMG.
• Triple Swing: Performs three spinning slashes, dealing Pyro DMG.
• Downward Cleave: Charges towards the player if far away. Cleaves down with its greatsword, dealing Pyro DMG.
• Heatblade: Slashes downward to launch a vertical blade at the player, dealing Pyro DMG on hit.
• Heated Field: Inserts its greatsword into the ground and creates a field at the player’s location. The field detonates 8 times, dealing 40% ATK for the first 7 detonations and 80% ATK for the final detonation as Pyro DMG.

How to defeat Praetorian Golem in Genshin Impact Version 4.6

Luckily, the size of the boss makes their moveset style slow and pronounced. As such players can effectively dodge their attacks by taking advantage of i-frames and dashing on time. Due to the Geo shield on the enemy, it is best to remove the shield by using blunt attacks (use Claymore attacks or use Geo characters). Once the shield is down the Praetorian Golem will be paralyzed for 8 seconds.

Introducing Genshin Impact: HoYoverse’s Shot-Up to Succession

In September 2020, Genshin Impact made its debut amidst skepticism within various online communities. Initially dismissed by some as a mere imitation of another prominent RPG, the game defied expectations and soared to unprecedented success.

Its player base skyrocketed, accompanied by a surge in sales for upcoming limited banners. This dramatic rise can be attributed in part to its unexpected release timing amid the pandemic that occurred around the time when many found themselves with plenty of free time at home.

Genshin Impact swiftly became the crown jewel of HoYoverse, generating significant revenue for the company. While its peak popularity may have been observed during 2021-2022, the game has since established itself as a foundation of stability, with a devoted fan community to back it up.

The enduring appeal of the game lies in its captivating storytelling, intricate world-building, diverse character design, and engaging gameplay mechanics. As HoYoverse’s flagship title, Genshin Impact shows no signs of slowing down. Its combination of immersive gameplay elements ensures its continued prosperity in the gaming industry.

Honkai: Star Rail maintained HoYoverse’s successful run

With the resounding success of Genshin Impact, HoYoverse found the push they needed to branch out and delve into the development of more games. Among these successfully launched projects came Honkai: Star Rail, a game that is seamlessly integrated into the Honkai-verse lore. Anticipation ran high among fans with such a release of a game, as it’s evident in the pre-registration numbers that far surpassed even Genshin Impact’s initial figures.

The fervent support from the fanbase translated into a swift embrace of Star Rail upon its release. Despite its departure from the real-time mechanics of Genshin Impact, being a turn-based game, fans were drawn instead to its captivating storytelling, striking character designs, and the appeal of playing a fresh new HoYoverse game.

The timing of Honkai: Star Rail’s launch in April 2023 couldn’t have been more fitting as Genshin Impact faced a content drought. Many of the fans expressed feelings of burnout and a lack of enjoyment. This circumstance further propelled fans toward Star Rail, providing a welcome alternative.

Fan Community Concerns: Genshin Impact vs. Honkai: Star Rail

Let’s take a deep dive into the Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail comparison many fans have expressed.

1. End-Game Content

In Honkai: Star Rail, players are treated to an array of engaging endgame content, ensuring ample replayability. Despite its relatively young running time of just under a year, the game consistently rolls out challenging combat-focused content tailored for mid-to-late-game players. Notable examples include the Simulated Universe with Gold and Gears and Swarm Disaster, along with the Memory of Chaos.

On the other hand, Genshin Impact, having matured over the past three years, finds itself predominantly inhabited by many veterans who started around 2021-2022. Many of these players have expressed a desire for enhancements to the existing endgame content such as the Spiral Abyss.

Players expressed a desire for fresh new combat-focused challenges where their meticulously curated roster of characters can truly shine in the field. However, disappointingly, there has been a noticeable absence of updates or announcements from the developers regarding any new additions to satisfy this growing demand.

QoL System

The Quality of Life (QoL) improvements in Honkai: Star Rail has consistently outshone those in Genshin Impact with each patch update. While Genshin Impact introduces new characters, regions, and boss fights, the continuous influx of content can make farming for materials and artifacts feel overwhelming. Fortunately, Honkai: Star Rail offers a more relaxed farming experience, thanks to its QoL updates that have been consistently rolled out each patch.

For instance, players can convert their character material, re-roll all released Relics, and engage in the same boss battles up to three times without hassle. However, a major concern among Genshin Impact players remains, which is the Resin system. Locked at 160 resin for years, with a maximum of 5 condensed resin only made, it constrains gameplay and resource management.

In stark contrast, Honkai: Star Rail introduces Trailblaze Power, its equivalent of Resin, which has been generously increased to 240. Furthermore, the game features Reserved Trailblaze Power, akin to condensed resin, allowing players to accumulate excess TP beyond the cap. This affords a more leisurely gameplay experience, as players can let resin accumulate without fear of waste.

Leniency in Obtainable Characters

Moreover, Honkai Star Rail offers a more player-friendly approach to obtaining characters and light cones compared to Genshin Impact. In Honkai: Star Rail, players can secure a guaranteed Permanent 5-Star character from the Beginner’s Banner after 50 pulls, along with the flexibility to select a 5-Star character of their choice from the Standard Banner after 300 pulls.

One particular note is the Light Cone banners, which deviate from the conventional 50/50 chance distribution. Instead, Honkai: Star Rail adopts a more favorable 75/25 chance ratio, significantly increasing the likelihood of obtaining the limited Light Cone featured in the banner.

Even if players miss out on this opportunity, they are assured of obtaining the guaranteed Light Cone in their next 5-Star pull. This stands in stark contrast to Genshin Impact’s Weapon Banner, where players must endure two losses in the 50/50 chance scenario to secure the guaranteed 5-Star limited weapon.

Balancing Criticism: Over-reaction or Justifiable Concerns

There is an obvious power system at play in both games, characterized by the different types of Elements and the game mechanics at play. However, a notable criticism voiced by fans revolves around the perceived abundance of in-game currency, such as Stellar Jades in Honkai: Star Rail, and Star Rail Special Pass (comparable to Intertwined Fates in Genshin Impact), in contrast to Genshin Impact’s reward system.

While it’s tempting to envy Star Rail’s generous reward system, players mustn’t draw direct comparisons with Genshin Impact. The fundamental reason lies in the ever-evolving META of Star Rail, which introduces two new limited 5-Star characters and one 4-Star character with each patch released.

This rapid character release schedule often overwhelms players, making it challenging to keep pace with acquiring the latest additions to their roster. Consequently, older characters risk becoming overshadowed by their newer counterparts.

In light of this dynamic environment, the provision of such a hefty reward system serves as a compensatory measure, giving the players the ability to obtain the newly released characters.

This approach acknowledges the inherent volatility of Star Rail’s META and seeks to alleviate the pressure on players striving to play the endgame combat-heavy content in the game (Simulated Universe, Memory of Chaos, etc.). Thus, while the disparity in reward quantity between the two games may seem glaring, it reflects the unique demands posed by each game’s gameplay and setting.

Final Thoughts

The fan community finds itself deeply divided over HoYoverse’s disparate treatment of its games. While a significant portion of fans directs heightened criticism towards Genshin Impact, particularly in light of the contrasting generosity displayed in Version 2.1 of Honkai: Star Rail for its first anniversary, it’s essential to recognize the fundamental distinctions between the two titles.

Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail offers unique gaming experiences, each characterized by distinct combat systems, narrative arcs, and mechanics. Attempting to scrutinize and compare them under the same lens proves futile and ultimately detracts from appreciating their merits.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Abilities description 

Talent upgrade priority

Normal Attacks are her primary source of DMG.

Normal Attack >>> Elemental Burst = Elemental Skill

Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading

Normal Attack

Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes.

Charged Attack

Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina, dashing toward a nearby opponent and cleaving once.
Continuously holding this button will cause Arlecchino to consume Stamina and engage in up to 5s of high-speed movement.

Plunging Attack

Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Masque of the Red Death

When Arlecchino has a Bond of Life equal to or greater than 30% of her Max HP, she will enter the “Masque of the Red Death” state, where her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to deal Pyro DMG. This cannot be overridden.

When in the “Masque of the Red Death” state, Arlecchino’s Normal Attacks will deal extra DMG to opponents on hit that scales off her ATK multiplied by a certain ratio of her current Bond of Life percentage. This will consume 7.5% of said current Bond of Life. Her Bond of Life can be consumed this way every 0.03s. When her Bond of Life is consumed in this manner, All Is Ash’s CD will decrease by 0.8s.

Elemental Skill: All Is Ash

Summons forth Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro DMG to multiple nearby opponents and performing a dash-cleave against one of them, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. Opponents hit by the aforementioned attack will have a Blood-Debt Directive applied to them.

Blood-Debt Directive

• Lasts 30s. Every 5s, it will deal 1 instance of Pyro DMG to the opponent. Max 2 instances. This DMG will be considered Elemental Skill DMG.
• When Arlecchino uses a Charged Attack or her Elemental Burst, Balemoon Rising, she will absorb and clear nearby Blood-Debt Directives. Each Directive absorbed grants her a Bond of Life worth 65% of her Max HP.
• The maximum value of the Bond of Life she can be granted through Blood-Debt Directives within 35s after using her Elemental Skill is 145% of her Max HP. Using the Elemental Skill again during this duration will restart the count on duration and the limit on the value of Bond of Life she may gain from Blood-Debt Directives.

Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising

Arlecchino’s great wing of Balemoon Bloodfire beats as she absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives around her. She deals AoE Pyro DMG before clearing the CD of All Is Ash and healing herself. The healing is based on her Bond of Life value and ATK.

Ascension 1 Passive: Agony Alone May Be Repaid

Blood-debt directives have the following characteristics:

• Arlecchino will be granted a Bond of Life worth 130% of her Max HP when an opponent to which she applied a Directive is defeated.
• 5s after a Directive is applied, it will be upgraded to a Blood-Debt Due. When absorbed, it will instead grant Arlecchino a Bond of Life worth 130%.

A Bond of Life created in the aforementioned ways cannot exceed the original limit on the value of Bonds of Life obtained through All Is Ash.

Ascension 4 Passive: Strength Alone Can Defend

Arlecchino gains 1% of All Elemental and Physical RES for every 100 ATK she has over 1,000. The maximum RES increase she can gain this way for each is 20%.

Utility Passive: The Balemoon Alone May Know

While in combat, Arlecchino gains a 40% Pyro DMG Bonus and can only be healed through Balemoon Rising.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Abilities explained

Understanding the Bond of Life mechanic

Arlecchino’s entire playstyle is based around the Bond of Life mechanic. We need to first understand BoL before trying to understand her kit. BoL is a new mechanic introduced in Fontaine. It can be applied to characters by certain enemies and certain weapons.

• BoL covers the HP bar with a red bar
• It prevents the character from getting healed
• BoL is applied as a percentage of max HP rather than a fixed amount
• The total amount of BoL is 200% (2x of max HP). Since the red bar covering the HP bar is proportional to the BoL and max HP, it covers half of the amount of BoL. If the BoL is 100%, the red bar will cover half of the HP bar, if the BoL is 200%, it will cover the entire HP bar
• BoL acts like an additional HP that needs to be removed by healing before the actual HP of the character can be healed. For example, if a character has 100 points of BoL then they need to be healed for 100 points before their actual HP can be healed
• BoL can be cleared by healing a specific amount by visiting the Statue of the Seven
• BoL has a duration of 10 minutes, after which it will be cleared on its own

Arlecchino can apply BoL to herself through her Skill. This BoL is the most important part of her kit. Her Pyro infusion, her DMG increase, and her self-heal, all of them are based on the current BoL that she has. Arlecchino is the only character who can apply BoL to herself. She is also the only character who uses BoL as the center of her kit.

Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading

This is the primary source of her DMG. As long as Arlecchino has BoL that is over 30% of her max HP, she will gain a Pyro infusion that cannot be overridden. Her DMG is increased by a certain percentage of her BoL. Hitting enemies consumes the BoL, this means her DMG will go down as time passes. Consuming BoL this way also reduces the cooldown of her Skill.

It has a 30s cooldown, but normal attacking until the Pyro infusion runs out will make it so that her Skill is available again. One thing to note is that her Pyro infusion does not go away if she is swapped out. It is not reliant on any kind of cooldown either. The only condition for Pyro infusion is having BoL over 30%.

Elemental Skill: All Is Ash

This is the only way Arlecchino can gain BoL for her Pyro infusion. Marking enemies with her Skill and absorbing the marks with a charged attack will grant her BoL. She gains 65% BoL from 1 marked enemy and the maximum BoL she can gain from one use of her Skill is 145%.

This means she can max out her BoL by marking and consuming marks from at least 3 enemies. Since each normal attack drains 7.5% BoL, Arlecchino can unleash 19 normal attacks before the Pyro infusion runs out. One thing to note is that the theoretical maximum BoL is 200% but Arlecchino can gain only 145% from one use of her Skill.

However, when her Pyro infusion runs out due to BoL going below 30%, that BoL does not get cleared. When you gain BoL again, it is added to it. If she has around 25% BoL when her Pyro infusion runs out, getting 145% BoL from the next use of her Skill will end up with her having 170% BoL. As such, Arlecchino will always have more BoL in her second rotation since the leftover BoL from the first rotation will be added to it.

Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising

This Burst does several things:

• Abosrbs all the marks from nearby enemies, which allows her to obtain maximum BoL (200%)
• AoE Pyro DMG
• Resets the cooldown of her Skill
• Heals herself based on her ATK and BoL
• Clears all BoL

The reason she absorbs nearby marks is because it grants her BoL and her healing partially scales off her current BoL. However, after using the Burst she will be left with no BoL and no Pyro infusion. But thankfully, she can instantly use her Skill since its cooldown will be reset by the Burst.

If Arlecchino is on the brink of death, it is possible to use her Burst to heal her, use her Skill and charged attack, and gain the Pyro infusion back. Since the Burst does not do much DMG, it is not the central part of her kit. It should only be used as a panic heal button.

Ascension 1 Passive: Agony Alone May Be Repaid

This passive is very important in single-target scenarios. It makes it so that defeating a marked enemy will grant 130% BoL. It means you would not lose out on BoL if an enemy dies before absorbing the mark. Waiting 5s before absorbing the mark would upgrade it to the next level and grant 130% BoL when absorbed. This part of the passive is irrelevant while fighting multiple enemies since there is a limit on the maximum BoL that can be obtained from one use of her Skill.

This passive is extremely relevant while fighting singular enemies, like bosses, since normally you could only gain 65% BoL from one marked enemy. Thanks to this passive, you can gain 130% BoL even against single enemies. This is not the same as the maximum of 145% but it is close enough. She can do 17 normal attacks before the Pyro infusion runs out.

Ascension 4 Passive: Strength Alone Can Defend

Arlecchino gains all elemental resistance based on her ATK, maxing out at 20% at 3000 ATK. This is helpful since she cannot be healed by allies in combat, at least she will take reduced DMG.

Utility Passive: The Balemoon Alone May Know

This passive is a huge trade-off. Arlecchino cannot be healed while in combat, but she gains a 40% Pyro DMG bonus. This is only 6% less than a Pyro DMG Goblet. This is much greater than the 33% Pyro DMG bonus that Hu Tao gains while being below 50% health. This is even greater than the Pyro DMG bonus granted when Kazuha Swirls Pyro. Even without a Pyro DMG Goblet or any external buffs, Arlecchino gains a 40% Pyro DMG bonus. This is not even an Ascension Passive, this is available even at level 1.

In exchange for this huge jaw-dropping buff, Arlecchino can only be healed by her Burst while in combat. She can be healed by allies/Statue of the Seven while outside of combat.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Playstyle

Arlecchino’s playstyle revolves around marking enemies and absorbing marks to gain BoL and Pyro infusion. The main goal is to always have BoL over 30%. While fighting multiple enemies or waves of enemies, you simply do not have to worry about BoL as long as you use her Skill whenever it is available. You don’t even have to wait 5s before absorbing the marks while fighting groups of enemies since 1 marked enemy grants 65% BoL and at least 3 marked enemies will grant the maximum BoL possible.

One of the best things about Arlecchino is that her Pyro infusion does not run out based on a timer, rather it runs out if you hit enemies and deal DMG. She has very little downtime on her Pyro infusion.

Another one of the best things about her is that she can heal herself, and it is a massive amount of healing. She is extremely self-sufficient. She does not even rely on others for a DMG buff since she has an innate 40% Pyro DMG bonus. She does not need healers since her Burst is the only way to heal her.

• Use her Skill
• Cycle through supports/wait for 5s
• Charged attack
• Normal attack until Pyro infusion runs out
• Only use her Burst if you need emergency healing

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Materials

As a Pyro character, Arlecchino uses Agnidus Agate stones for ascension and they can be obtained from the Pyro Hypostasis and the Pyro Regisvine. Her other ascension material, Fragment of a Golden Melody can be obtained from the “Statue of Marble and Brass”. The boss materials for her talents can be obtained from The Knave weekly boss. Players can check this out for a detailed breakdown of Arlecchino’s materials. 

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Best Weapons for Arlecchino

Arlecchino’s kit revolves around scaling through ATK, with Crit and EM as sub-stats. Unfortunately for Arlecchino, her F2P-friendly weapons are very limited and there will be a significant damage difference as such. For weapons, you will mainly focus on any weapons that provide high Base ATK with a Crit sub-stat.

5* weapons

4* weapons

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Best Artifacts for Arlecchino

Arlecchino’s artifacts are fairly straightforward to farm and build. Arlecchino is mainly an ATK scaling unit and has a certain new mechanic added to her called the Bond of Life mechanic that takes away her HP to provide more enhanced damage.

As such you would only need to prioritize ATK-related scaling and buffs. You would want an ATK Sands, a Pyro DMG Goblet, and lastly a CRIT Circlet. Sub-stats you should look for are CRIT then EM and lastly ATK, with ER being a bonus, but not needed. Keep in mind that the Sands and Goblet can be inter-changeable depending on your build and team preference when using Arlecchino.

As for her ER target, it can vary from low to almost nothing. This is due to many factors, one of which is her Elemental Burst being a low Energy Cost so you’ll get it back fairly quickly depending on your team party and energy sources.

Another main factor is how her Elemental Burst is essentially less prioritized in her kit since it resets her kit’s mechanic and acts as a self-heal for her, similar to Hu Tao. You would only activate her Burst every 2 rotations or so. As such you should generally aim for 100%-130% ER with added Pyro party members.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Best Team Compositions for Arlecchino

Arlecchino has near permanent uptime of her Pyro infusion, which makes her ideal for almost any team that is based around Pyro reactions like Vaporise, Melt, Reverse Melt, and even Overload. Mono Pyro team is also a great option for her. Check out this article for a detailed breakdown of Arlecchino’s team comps.

Genshin Impact Arlecchino Guide: Constellations

She is a complete unit at C0 and she does not need constellations to function. C1/C2/C3 are all good early stopping points. Do not go beyond C3 unless you are a whale who is going for C6. Check out this article for a detailed breakdown of Arlecchino’s constellations.
