The Luna II banners in Genshin Impact bring back Arlecchino, who's a solid DPS option. That said, since the Pyro Archon Mavuika dropped and she's the top DPS right now, Arlecchino's appeal has taken a hit. Still, she's a capable Pyro character who can handle pretty much all the endgame stuff in the game.

To figure out if she's worth saving up for in the Luna II update, let's break down the upsides and downsides of pulling her.

Should you pull for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact Luna II?

Arlecchino's still got good value—she can get through most of the content in Genshin Impact without much trouble. But she's not someone you have to get, especially with Mavuika out there pumping out way more damage as a Pyro DPS and off-field dealer. If that's what you're after, Mavuika edges her out.

On top of that, the devs have confirmed Durin, yet another Pyro character, is coming in Luna III. Leaks point to big upgrades for characters like Klee, Albedo, and Venti. Klee in particular looks set for some solid kit tweaks that could turn her into a real Pyro DPS contender down the line.

Don't forget, if you've got Klee or Hu Tao, the To Temper Thyself and Journey Far event lets you chase their constellations (cons) for extra power boosts. With those, they might hit damage levels on par with Arlecchino.

All this stuff dials back Arlecchino's must-have status. If you're already running Mavuika, Hu Tao, or Klee, you could probably sit out her banner in Luna II. Anyway, here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons:

Pros

  • Strong DPS unit that can clear most endgame content in the game.
  • Has many team compositions and can be used in Overloaded, Melt, and Vaporize Elemental Reaction-based teams.
  • Easy to build and has many free-to-play weapon options.
  • Has great early constellations, such as her C1 and C2, that buff her damage by a tremendous amount.
  • Versatile unit that can be used with many 4-star and 5-star support characters.

Cons

  • She is not the best Pyro DPS in the game, as Mavuika is better and offers higher pull value.
  • Cannot be healed during combat by other characters due to her Utility Passive, and can only be healed by her Elemental Burst.
  • Might need a shield character like Citlali, Lan Yan, Zhongli, or Thoma, due to her Passive ability.

Bottom line: If you've got other heavy hitters like Mavuika, Hu Tao, or Klee, Arlecchino might not be the priority pull. She's definitely among the game's top damage dealers, but not the Pyro king. That said, if you need a reliable DPS and dig her style, snag her in Luna II.
