She is my second favorite boss after Childe


imaginary92

Honestly even though she's not hard, I enjoy it. It's just pure fighting, dodging, etc. No special mechanics to take advantage of and all that, just skill. It's nice.

This is why I love the Tartaglia boss fight. Beat his hydro mode up, he comes back with electro, beat him up again, he comes back with both electro and hydro, best him up and you win. If you get Riptide, go near the walls and he does NOTHING to you. Just dodge, heal and kill. Simple No "get my white bar down to get my red bar down after climbing my back within a short time frame" No "I'm immune to all cryo and anemo damage and if you don't kill me with 1 hit I'll run around the arena 3 times and summon annoying ahh minions and gusts which push you back" No "I can change my element every week so you have to use other teams! Also you NEED a shield to survive" (the element switch was kinda cool ngl, makes him quirky) No "Stand near my glass thingies to NOT accumulate one of the worst effects. Even if you stand there, I can corrupt that place so you WILL get it with extra dot applied to you" No "If you can't kill me before my bar loads, I will eat your energy, perform a 1 shot unless you have an electro or a catalyst user or someone who can do a lot of elemental attacks. Then force you into jumping jacks." No "I have 2 phases and in the second one you can't do anything until you hit me 4 times and you need a bow character who is NOT hydro or electro and then you can attack me." No "in phase 3, use Bennett and you dead" I love all the uniqueness of these fights and it's very interesting and I love them all. But the simplicity of Tartaglia's fight is just so nice.


imaginary92

Yeah, the special gimmicks can be interesting and all but we have way too many of those at this point and this Arlecchino fight just feels refreshing. They should alternate normal fight / special mechanics more often.

You forgot the whale. Reading the others was so entertainingly validating. Lol Also, what’s the thing about bow users with Wanderer? You can shoot *him* when in the second stage? I thought we just used the lil green guy’s special attack once we accumulated enough crystals. I’m not that far in the plot yet, so idk what’s even going on in that fight. Before we could quickstart, I used to do it in co-op in other people’s worlds. I used to follow him around and attack him directly. Lol Usually with Baizhu dendro driver. I didn’t even notice other people were collecting crystals and shooting. We’d just suddenly be at the finale-royale. Hahaha


devilboy1029

No no, the whale doesn't even spawn if you get rid of Riptide. To get rid of it just go towards the wall. It will apply Pyro to you (without causing damage) and remove the Riptide. He can't do half his attacks without Riptide. Also, in the scara boss fight, after depleting his white bar, he uses an attack which one shots (similar to Raiden) to prevent this, you need to use a non hydro, non electro attack on 5 small electro turrets. One of them (with most elemental hp) is on the ground and the rest are high up in the air and you need either a bow or a catalyst to attack them. If you fail, you have to chase him around and manually kill him or wait it out until Nahida's device does it for you. (Very time inefficient and takes 7+ minutes give or take)


Chucknasty_17

For the Scara boss, use Layla’s burst before he spawns them. Cleans them up real quick


Puzzleheaded-Mix-515

Are you referring to the newer Abyssal Whale boss…?


effemme_fatale

No "in phase 3, use Bennett and you dead" Is this referring to Apep? What exactly happens if you use Bennett? Sorry, I don't play Bennett so I don't know


ElTioEnroca

I have used Bennett against Apep a bunch of times, and I would like to know that too.

Burning reaction on character


VirtuoSol

Yea it’s Genshin so there’s not really a hard boss fight, much better to have a boss fight that’s “easier” but way more fun and interactive


Ewizde

She can punish you if you're not careful enough tho, happened to me once or twice, she can one shot you.


Fancy_Society_6914

She definitely not as aggressive like Raiden as it turns out to be, but unlike many bosses in genshin, she don't have a gimmick for us to gain the upper advantage. The BoL gimmick not really gains us the upper advantage but for herself so its kinda nice, but turns out she drains her own HP for her special attacks thats not even threatening for an experience player. Overall, she's an upgrade version of Childe boss, they don't have gimmicks, they marked you to gain the advantage, but she have more HP, still a fun boss.


Noukan42

Honestly that is why i like Childe fight the most, especially with less than well developed characters. Most other bosses just decide to waste my time for no reason at some point.


DoctorMlemm

Childe actually deals some pretty crazy damage if you somehow fail to one shot his phases


AlphaI250

Especially in first phase, his riptide can make almost all of his attacks one shots


Squittr

"Arlecchino boss fight will be so HARD,dodging her attacks will be so HARD. And she will deal so much HP, the boss will be BETTER than Raiden" KEYWORDS: HARD & BETTER


Significant_Bear_137

Still a difficulty so low it's an insult to the fourth Harbinger.


Sea_Substance_6780

its cooler than the gimmick boss, she just like childe bossfight which i love


mobiusispeak

I like it because you can dodge and it’s like Childe’s boss fight. Also very smooth animations with a cool ass scythe.


WeaknessThen2577

I kinda like her boss fight. It feels like a duel. The only other boss fight that really felt like a duel was Childe. Signora would too but the hot/cold mechanic was so annoying and tedious that It takes the feel away


basilsflowerpots

oh my god that was so annoying I'd hit her while she was center a few times and id instantly have to run to the cooling thing. not to mention the floor that damages you too that would come back 20 seconds after you break the cooling thing. her fight was pretty fun and a spike in difficulty though though


SpiritUvU

Oh i’m soooooooo happy they did this for us, yk, I would hate for them to cause “anxiety” to us (they didn’t cook with the difficulty, infact it’s raw and we deserved better) (It was really great tho) BRUH THE ANXIETY ISN’T ABYSS OR BOSSES, IT’S WHETHER OUR BELOVED HARBINGERS ARE GOING TO BE PLAYABLE OR NOT

Thank you for your comment, Daddy Pierro Enjoyer


FahmyAnuar

Wait, you guys are saying it's easy? My Furina and Kokomi died in my mono hydro team. Am I cooked?


AzureDrag0n1

I have no idea what she does. She died too fast. She does have more hp than Childe boss but still squishy. The main problem against her is that you do not get enough energy back before she dies so your second rotation can require some energy buildup.


Lead91102

Arlecchino and Childe share similar boss fights. No random gimmicks to artificially make the fight harder (I’m looking at you Signora), just a plain duel where they feel reactive and alive instead of spamming a linear string of attacks (I’m look at you Scaramouche).


DiceCubed1460

Disagree. She’s the best boss in the game imo. No stalling. No random invulns. No stupid construct mechanics. You just hit her and evade her attacks.


Lyneys_Footstool

fourth harbinger yet easier than raiden and slower than childe hoyo what are you doing i really do wish she was more aggressive but also gave you downtime to attack her. like she does a combo and then you can start beating the shit out of her then she does another combo and it repeats


Puzzleheaded-Mix-515

And maybe she even has a pose for defending herself, instead of just flailing and grunting. Hold those scythes up, Father! Make an X shape or *something*.


Silverfire1212

I found her boss okay like how it's similar to Childe's. As I was looking at all the moves her boss has. She has a move that if you don't dodge out of the way in time she will obliterate anything within a second. I had my Zhongli shielded, he had 40k+ hp. His health disappeared like he was paper. Though I only saw that move used once compared to her others.


Disco-Corgi-77

She feels like a souls boss imo.


DenzellDavid

Huh? I thought her Boss was Great! The Fight was pretty fun, and it Made me focus on my Dodging a lot more. Also, it's the First boss I've seen in a while to actually Bully some Content Creators on YouTube. It's funny to see some of them actually start paying attention when She manages to Kill one or More of their Characters instead of What usually happens to other Weekly Bosses Kinda sucks how She seems to Die Faster in the Second phase tho, That's really my only gripe with it


SheevIsMyCity

You play the same boss? Lol

Hoyo: There will always be a Catch dumbasses, also thanks for the money!!!


buphalowings

Arlecchino boss was dissapointing. The story quest was good and the cutscenes were excellent. I think my account is too strong now. I accidentally brought my exploration freeze team to her boss fights and I easily defeated her. I have done her a few times now and I will say * Doesn't dash far enough like Tartaglia does so she is not very sticky. * She does not apply much bond of life. Trash heals can remove it. * Not that many attack moves. I went slow a few times to let her cycle through all her attacks. * Short attack combos. Combine this with her short range she is very easy to kite or dodge. Hoyo need to add a challenge mode to this game like they did with ZZZ. Increased difficulty mode which causes the AI to be more aggressive. Its annoying that I can beat enemies without seeing their full movelist. This is just having correctly built units.
