Arlecchino Skills
Arlecchino's skillset makes her a versatile and deadly addition to any team. Here's a detailed look at her abilities:
- Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading: Arlecchino performs up to 6 consecutive strikes, consuming Stamina and dashing towards opponents. When her Bond of Life is 30% or more of her Max HP, she enters the 'Masque of the Red Death' state, infusing her attacks to deal Pyro damage.
- Elemental Skill: All Is Ash: Summons Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro damage to nearby enemies and executing a dash-cleave. Enemies hit become marked with Blood-Debt Directive, which Arlecchino can absorb by doing a Charge Attack to gain Bond of Life.
- Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising: Arlecchino absorbs and clears Blood-Debt Directives, dealing AoE Pyro damage and healing herself based on her Bond of Life value and ATK.
Passive Talents
Arlecchino's passive abilities further enhance her combat skills:
- Balemoon Rising: Grants a 40% Pyro DMG Bonus and restricts healing to Balemoon Rising.
- Agony Alone May Be Repaid: Makes Blood-Debt Directives stronger. Marks now turn into Blood-Debt Dues after 5 seconds. Arlecchino is granted a Bond of Life worth 130% of her Max HP when Blood-Debt Dues are claimed or an enemy with a Directive is defeated.
- Strength Alone Can Defend: Provides 1% All Elemental and Physical RES for every 100 ATK above 1,000, maxing at 20%.
