Arlecchino is not only the third playable Fatui in Genshin Impact but also the third Fatui weekly boss.
The Knave weekly boss fight can be an easy fight or a vicious one in Genshin Impact. This is the first time players witness Arlecchino in action, so this viciousness is to be expected from the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers.
There are two phases to Arlecchino’s boss fight. The first phase is a bit dull where she has a few flashy defensive moves paired with some strong attacks. On the other hand, her second phase is where the real boss fight begins and Arlecchino goes into full savage mode.
How To Beat The Knave In Genshin Impact
To beat The Knave in Genshin Impact, it’s better to be careful since she can one-shot your characters with many of her attacks. She also applies Bond of Life to your characters when she consumes her HP to attack. When she does, you can cure the effect by healing your affected unit and a roaming flame will surround your character.
This flame indicates that your next Charged attack will deal extra damage and interrupt The Knave when she’s charging for a heavy attack. When a prompt to interrupt these special attacks appears and players successfully interrupt Arlecchino, she'll be incapacitated for around 10 to 15 seconds, allowing players to damage her safely.
Phase 1
The first phase of The Knave fight isn’t dangerous by all means, since most of her attacks are slow Scythe slashes and hits. However, there are some attacks to be aware of. When Arlecchino consumes her HP to attack, she will apply Bond of Life to the character she hits, which will allow her to deal extra damage on the next attacks. This can one-shot squishy units and put the team in a bad situation, so try to avoid these specific attacks.
At some point, during combat, many blades will come out of the floor and target the area of your character twice. After that, The Knave will mark a huge area underneath your character to attack it and deal massive damage. This is the only attack you should worry about during the first phase and avoiding it is the best solution instead of taking the damage while using a shielder.
In both phases, The Knave can apply Corrosion with her hits that continuously drain the team’s HP, so Genshin Impact shielders are not optimal for this weekly boss fight. It’s better to challenge The Knave with a healer that can continuously bring your team's HP back to good levels, along with removing Bond of Life effects.
Phase 2
Phase 2 is where things get interesting during Arlecchino weekly boss fight in Genshin Impact. Standing across your character, looking down upon them, The Knave will start the phase by launching a strong plunge that can one-shot any unit if you don’t dodge.

The Knave is faster and more aggressive during her second phase. Her best combo starts when she launches three large slashes. She begins by marking a small area underneath her. After that, The Knave will slash this entire area before quickly marking most of the battlefield again, leaving a small safe area next to her. She will then launch a devastating second slash while marking a large area around her to deliver the third and final slash. It’s easy to get caught in this combo since it can happen quickly during the fight while numbers are flying around, so it’s better to keep an eye to avoid her slashes immediately when she starts them.
Once Arlecchino creates distance and points a laser at your character, you should move. She will fire a beam of fire that will one-shot any character again. She usually fires three of these beams after aiming for a few seconds prior. You can stop these beams by getting close to her.

Finally, one of Arlecchino’s strongest attacks begins when she leaps away and summons her wings. She will launch a few exploding projectiles at your place before summoning six spheres to launch them again. These spheres will also explode while she plunges into your location to deal a devastating attack. During that time, it’s hard to target The Knave, so keep your distance from her projectiles and look out for her plunge.
