Are Arlecchino Constellations Worth It?
In essence, Arlecchino's early constellations offer notable benefits. Constellations 1 and 2 substantially enhance her damage output, making them solid investments for most players. However, Constellation 4 provides marginal utility, primarily focusing on her Elemental Burst and offering minimal damage enhancement.
Constellations 3 and 5 fall in a similar category, providing modest improvements. Constellation 6, on the other hand, delivers a significant boost, especially for those willing to invest more resources.
Constellations Breakdown
C1 - "All Reprisals and Arrears Are Mine to Bear..."
Effect: Enhances "Masque of the Red Death" ability, significantly increasing damage output and granting interruption resistance during Normal Attacks under its effect.
Importance: High
This constellation directly amplifies Arlecchino's damage potential by enhancing her core abilities without introducing complex mechanics, offering a straightforward damage increase.
C2 - "All Rewards and Retribution, Mine to Bestow..."
Effect: Transforms "Blood-Debt Directives" into "Blood-Debt Due" instantly, triggering a powerful AoE Pyro attack upon absorption, effectively increasing Arlecchino's DPS output.
Importance: High
By streamlining her ability to generate "Bond of Life," this constellation not only boosts Arlecchino's damage potential but also enhances her combat flexibility with a potent AoE attack.
C4 - "You Shall Love and Protect Each Other Henceforth..."
Effect: Decreases cooldown of "Balemoon Rising" and restores energy upon successful absorption of "Blood-Debt Directive," focusing on improving Elemental Burst utility and survivability.
Importance: Low
While providing some utility in reducing cooldowns and enhancing survivability, this constellation's impact on damage output is comparatively minor, making it less essential for optimizing Arlecchino's performance.
C6 - "From This Day On, We Shall Delight in New Life Together."
Effect: Amplifies "Balemoon Rising" damage based on "Bond of Life" percentage and grants significant boosts to Crit Rate and Crit DMG after using "All is Ash," elevating Arlecchino's damage potential significantly.
Importance: Priority
Representing the pinnacle of Arlecchino's constellations, C6 offers substantial damage increases alongside improved critical stats, making it a priority for players seeking to maximize her effectiveness in combat.
While Arlecchino remains a potent unit even without constellations, investing in select constellations can significantly enhance her damage output and combat versatility.
