In
Arlecchino is a Pyro DPS who relies on Bond of Life for damage. In combat, only her Burst can heal her, so a shielder is strongly recommended.
Weapon Choice (assumes Bennett in party):
- Staff of the Scarlet Sands: Without Vaporize or Melt, avoid Elemental Mastery Sands; ranks below Staff of Homa.
- Vortex Vanquisher: Ranks well only when shielded; otherwise similar to White Tassel [R5].
- Deathmatch: At higher refinements, matches Staff of Homa.
- Ballad of the Fjords: Slightly outperforms Deathmatch in Vaporize teams.
Artifact Choice:
- Desert Pavilion Chronicle (4): Ensure Charged Attack hits for the passive—do not cancel early.
- Echoes of an Offering (4): Similar performance if ping stays below 200.
Talent Priority: Focus on Normal Attack; Skill and Burst need lower investment.
