Pre-Farming for Arlecchino's Crimson Moon's Semblance: My Ultimate Guide

Just discovered the leaked materials for Arlecchino's signature weapon in Genshin Impact 4.6, and I'm already grinding away! As a day-one player who's been waiting for the Knave since her NPC introduction, I couldn't be more excited to share this pre-farming guide with you all. This black and red polearm (that transforms into a SCYTHE!) is going to be a game-changer, and I want to be ready on day one!

The Leaked Weapon: Crimson Moon's Semblance

Have you seen the design leak? This polearm is absolutely gorgeous with its black and red color palette that perfectly matches Arlecchino's aesthetic. But what makes it truly unique is that it reportedly transforms into a scythe when equipped by her - something we've never seen before in Genshin!

According to reliable leaks, the weapon boasts an impressive 674 base ATK and 22.05% CRIT Rate at level 90. Its special ability, Ashen Sun's Shadow, grants a Bond of Life equal to 25% of the user's Max HP when a Charged Attack hits an enemy (triggerable once every 14 seconds). When the character has Bond of Life, they gain a 12% DMG Bonus, and if that Bond equals or exceeds 30% of their Max HP, they get an extra 20% DMG bonus!

Seriously, could this weapon BE any more perfect for a DPS character?

Materials You Can Pre-Farm NOW

I've already started gathering these materials, and you should too! Here's what you'll need:

Weapon Ascension Materials:

• 15x Meshing Gear

• 23x Mechanical Spur Gear

• 27x Artificed Dynamic Gear

• 5x Broken Goblet of the Pristine Sea

• 14x Wine Goblet of the Pristine Sea

• 14x Silver Goblet of the Pristine Sea

• 6x Golden Goblet of the Pristine Sea

Enhancement Materials:

• 906x Mystic Enhancement Ore

• 3x Enhancement Ore

• 1,131,400x Mora

I've been farming the Clockwork Meka enemies all across Fontaine for those Gear materials. They're not the toughest enemies, but they can be annoying to track down! As for the Goblets, I hit the Echoes of the Deep Tides Domain every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pro tip: use condensed resin to maximize your farming efficiency!

Materials You'll Need to Wait For

Unfortunately, not everything can be pre-farmed. The leak indicates we'll need materials from a new enemy type called Golem Guards:

• 23x Ruined Hilt

• 27x Splintered Hilt

• 41x Still-Smoldering Hilt

These enemies will likely appear in the rumored new area coming in version 4.6. Has anyone else noticed how HoYoverse always introduces new materials right when we want to level up the hottest new characters? 🙄

My Farming Strategy

Here's how I'm approaching this pre-farm:

1. Daily Mora Farming: I'm hitting Blossom of Wealth ley lines whenever I have spare resin. That 1.1 million Mora requirement is no joke!

2. Weekly Domain Runs: Every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, I prioritize the Echoes of the Deep Tides Domain for those Goblets.

3. Clockwork Meka Hunt: I've mapped out efficient routes through Fontaine to farm these mechanical enemies for the Gear materials.

4. Crystal Chunk Mining: I'm visiting all the mining spots in my world (and friends' worlds when they let me!) to craft those 906 Mystic Enhancement Ores.

Is Pre-Farming Worth It?

Absolutely! Even though leaks can sometimes be inaccurate, these particular ones have been tagged as "Reliable" on Reddit. And honestly? The satisfaction of immediately maxing out Arlecchino's signature weapon on day one is worth the risk for me.

Think about it - while everyone else is scrambling to gather materials after 4.6 drops, I'll already be dominating with a fully-leveled Crimson Moon's Semblance! Isn't that the dream?

The Scythe Factor

I have to emphasize how excited I am about the scythe transformation. According to leaks from Team Mew, when Arlecchino equips her signature weapon, the tip of the polearm curves downward during attacks, creating that iconic scythe shape.

What's even more interesting is that apparently only Arlecchino can trigger this full transformation - other characters will see just an outline of a scythe when using other polearms. This kind of character-specific weapon transformation is unprecedented in Genshin!

Final Thoughts

With Arlecchino's release in version 4.6 expected around late April/early May 2026, we still have time to prepare. The official livestream should be coming mid-April, which will confirm all these leaks (fingers crossed!).

I've been saving my primogems for months to ensure I get both Arlecchino AND her signature weapon. The Knave has been one of the most anticipated characters since her first appearance, and I'm determined to do her justice with a fully-maxed Crimson Moon's Semblance.

Are you planning to pull for Arlecchino? Will you be pre-farming for her weapon too? Let me know in the comments - I'd love to hear your thoughts and strategies!

Happy farming, travelers! ✨
