Arlecchino Rerun Details
Arlecchino, the 5★ Pyro Polearm queen, rocks Crimson Moon's Semblance (674 ATK, 22.1% CRIT Rate; 25% Max HP Bond, 84% DMG Bonus R5). Boosted 4-stars? Lan Yan (Anemo shield/RES shred), Rosaria (C6 CRIT), Yun Jin (Normal ATK buff). She cranks 15-25% higher DPS—think 300k Burst, 200k NAs. Pull if you've got no Pyro DPS. Averages 70-75 pulls (soft pity 63-65). Epitomized Path her weapon, obviously.
Zhongli Featured Status & Boosted 4-Stars
Zhongli (5★ Geo Polearm) pairs with Vortex Vanquisher (608 ATK, 49.6% ATK%; 20% Shield +4% ATK/stack). Same 4-stars as above. R1 nets 10-15% DPS gain; shields hit 4k+. Jump on him with no shielder. F2P? Skip weapons. Dragon's Bane (221 EM) works fine as alt.

Arlecchino vs Zhongli: Pull Priority Breakdown

Audit your DPS and shielders. Flowchart it: No shielder → Zhongli; otherwise Arlecchino. Hoard 180 Fates for 3 versions.
Meta Relevance in 6.1 Natlan
Arlecchino holds A-tier in Bond teams; Zhongli's SS-tier, babysitting Neuvillette like a pro. He outperforms Layla/Diona by 20%. Arlecchino C0 rivals Hu Tao; Zhongli trumps fragile Kazuha carries. Test those 1.5M Abyss rotations. Prioritize DPS gaps. Peek your 6-month pity.
Primogem Efficiency Comparison
70-75 pulls per 5★ (25,600 Primogems max 160). F2P squeezes 12-15k/version (75-90 pulls). Arlecchino's 20-30% spike; Zhongli's 80% reduction. Farm 5.7k/month from dailies/events. Save 28,800 for both. No Fate carryover—harsh truth.

Common Pitfalls & Misconceptions
Overvaluing New vs Rerun
Arlecchino's SS-tier rerun; don't fall for the 60% Zhongli preference trap. Prioritize gaps. Both C0 viable. Avoid late shield refreshes—(I've wiped floors that way, oof).
Ignoring Account Diversity
No Pyro: Arlecchino. Squishy teams: Zhongli. ER supports hit 200% no-battery. Test rotations. Farm NA10 Arlecchino. Pity via history.
Pity Loss Risks
240 pulls no Path risk; Burst overuse. Epitome first. 15-18s Zhongli Burst. F2P: Black Tassel/Catch.
