Yoimiya vs Arlecchino
The Naganohara firework maker vs. the Father of the House of the Hearth
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Yoimiya if…
- Against flying enemies where melee characters can't reach
- For players who prefer simple, auto-attack-focused gameplay
- When you need a Pyro carry who can benefit from traditional healers
Pick Arlecchino if…
- When you want the absolute peak of modern Pyro DPS
- In scenarios where you need both high single-target and good AoE
- If you can manage the Bond of Life mechanic for massive damage
Arlecchino is the superior unit in almost every offensive category, offering higher damage and better AoE. Yoimiya remains a solid choice for ease of use and specific anti-air situations.

Shared Team Members
With Yoimiya
Bennett's Fantastic Voyage provides the massive ATK buff Yoimiya needs to make her rapid Pyro-infused arrows truly devastating. He also provides Pyro Resonance and acts as a battery, ensuring Yoimiya can occasionally use her Burst for team-wide buffs.
With Arlecchino
For Arlecchino, Bennett is a premier ATK buffer and Pyro Resonance partner who significantly increases her damage during the Masque of the Red Death state. Although his healing doesn't affect her while in combat, the raw stat boost he provides is unmatched for her scaling.
With Yoimiya
Yelan's burst coordinated attacks enable Yoimiya to Vaporize her most important hits, significantly increasing her single-target DPS. The ramping DMG bonus from Yelan's A4 passive ensures that Yoimiya's damage peaks exactly when her highest multipliers trigger.
With Arlecchino
Yelan provides Arlecchino with off-field Hydro for Vaporize reactions and a potent DMG buff that scales over her field time. This synergy allows Arlecchino to tear through enemies with massive Pyro hits while Yelan provides additional Hydro damage from the background.
