Sustain
This team maximizes Arlecchino's personal damage through constant Vaporize triggers and significant ATK buffs. Zhongli's shield provides the necessary protection for Arlecchino's health-restricted kit while simultaneously lowering enemy elemental resistance.

Arlecchino is one of the best DPS characters to pair with Zhongli. Since Arlecchino cannot be healed normally during combat, Zhongli's strong shield becomes extremely valuable for keeping her safe during her damage window. Zhongli also provides 20% Pyro RES Shred and can hold Tenacity of the Millelith to further increase her damage.

Her Elemental Burst applies consistent off-field Hydro, allowing Arlecchino to trigger Vaporize for amplified damage.

His Jade Shield protects Arlecchino from interruption and reduces enemy Elemental RES by 20%, directly increasing her output.

His Elemental Burst creates a field that grants a massive flat ATK buff, significantly scaling Arlecchino's damage during her attacks.
