Weapons
CRIT Rate
Signature polearm. Applies Bond of Life and boosts normal attack damage, aligning with the Skill-then-CA rotation. Best-in-slot for this build.
CRIT Rate
Universal CRIT Rate stat stick. Stacks ATK on hit, rewarding sustained field time. Strong on any polearm DPS.
CRIT Rate
Scales ATK from Elemental Mastery, valuable in Vaporize/Melt teams. Also gives CRIT Rate.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG and HP-to-ATK conversion. Works even for non-HP scalers; just keep HP above half for the full effect.
CRIT Rate
High base ATK and ATK%. Passive boosts normal attacks after triggering reactions, matching the N3D loop.
ATK%
Massive ATK% from the passive after using Skill. Good for quick-swap bursts of damage.
ATK%
ATK% that increases with a shield. Solid with a shielder; otherwise outclassed by other options.
CRIT Rate
Provides CRIT Rate and both ATK and DEF bonuses. A reliable 4-star choice, especially when facing multiple enemies.
CRIT Rate
3-star with CRIT Rate and up to 48% normal attack damage. Surprisingly effective for a normal-attack-centered DPS at low investment.
CRIT Rate
Gives CRIT Rate and Elemental Mastery if the party has three different elements. Fits reaction-based teams perfectly.
Artifacts
Best-in-slot. 4-piece boosts normal attack damage based on Bond of Life changes, directly synergizing with Skill and the signature weapon.
2-piece ATK+18% and 4-piece +35% normal attack damage. A straightforward set that suits any on-field normal attacker.
4-piece grants normal attack damage and attack speed after a charged attack lands. Useful if you weave CA in the rotation, though the 2-piece is dead for non-Anemo units.
Any 2-piece with ATK+18% (e.g., Gladiator's Finale, Shimenawa's Reminiscence) works as a fallback. Plays the same role as the 2-piece of other sets.
4-piece has a 36% chance to trigger bonus normal attack damage. RNG-heavy but can edge out other sets with high attack speed.

Recommended Primary Stats
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.
