Should you go for Arlecchino's C1 or R1 in Genshin Impact Luna II?

Arlecchino's C1

Before comparing Arlecchino's C1 and R1, let's take a look at the bonuses they give. Here are the buffs that The Knave gets from her first constellation:

• Masque of the Red Death is further enhanced, the value of the increase is 100%. Additionally, Arlecchino's interruption resistance is increased when she performs Normal or Charged Attacks while affected by the Masque of the Red Death.

Unlocking Arlecchino's C1 buffs her Normal Attacks when she is in her enhanced state and is consuming Bond of Life, significantly increasing her damage. Additionally, it increases her resistance to interruption when she is performing Normal or Charged Attacks in her enhanced state, making her more comfortable to use without shielders.

Arlecchino's C1 is really good for her and is one of the best early constellations in the game.

Arlecchino's signature weapon is called Crimson Moon’s Semblance, and it has the following stats and effects at level 90 and refinement rank I:

• Base ATK: 674
• Second stat: 22.1% CRIT Rate
• Passive: Grants a Bond of Life equal to 25% of Max HP when a Charged Attack hits an opponent. This effect can be triggered up to once every 14s. In addition, when the equipping character has a Bond of Life, they gain a 12% DMG Bonus; if the value of the Bond of Life is greater than or equal to 30% of Max HP, then gain an additional 24% DMG.

Crimson Moon’s Semblance has a pretty high Base ATK and gives a decent amount of CRIT Rate bonus. Furthermore, the weapon's passive provides extra Bond of Life, along with a significant amount of DMG buff.

Arlecchino's C1 vs R1: Which is better?

If you only care about dealing more damage, going for Arlecchino's C1 is recommended. However, you can try to pull her signature weapon if you care for looks and like her scythe. That said, Crimson Moon’s Semblance is featured on the weapon banner with Zhongli's Vortex Vanquisher, which is one of the worst 5-star limited Polearms in the game, so going for Arlecchino's weapon will be risky.
