In Genshin Impact The Knave is the harbinger of Fatui and weekly boss, which was added to the game With You the release of patch 4.6 and is available as part of the Scarlet Moon punishment dungeon. It drops unique materials necessary to elevate certain characters.

In this guide, we will tell you how to find and defeat this powerful warrior, studying in detail all of her attacks and movements, as well as indicating recommended commands and the best tactics for fighting her.

Where to find The Knave (Harlequin) in Genshin Impact

To gain access to the battle with this boss, you will first need to unlock a special dungeon by completing the Harlequin Legends quest called “Fatal Moon”. After this, you will be able to challenge this harbinger of Fatui at any time, but you will be able to collect the reward for defeating her only once a week. Let us add that in the quest this enemy is somewhat weaker than in the weekly battles.

Note: Starting with patch 4.2, you no longer need to complete story conditions to unlock weekly bosses - just reach level 40 adventure rank. You can enter into battle with them through the adventurer's guide.

The passage to the dungeon is located in the northern part of the Liffey area, in Fontaine. To have the game mark its location for you, simply select "Crimson Moon" under the "Punishment Dungeons" section of the Adventurer's Handbook. Once you enter it, you will need to choose the difficulty of the battle depending on the strength of your characters.

Before the battle, be sure to make sure that you have 60 units virgin resin (or 30 if we are talking about one of the first three battles with weekly bosses in the current week), otherwise you will not be able to receive the reward later.

Servant Characteristics

Even in its base form, this harbinger of Fatui has 70% resistance to Pyro damage, so we do not advise you to take damage dealers of the corresponding element into your team. As for other elements and physical damage, his resistance to them is only 10%, which makes it easier to create an optimal squad.

If we talk about the main attributes, then Harlequin can boast of quite high indicators, for example, her life scale at level 90 is 1 million units, and her attack power is 26.6 thousand points, which is noticeably higher than that of other bosses. Plus, she can make some pretty powerful area-of-effect attacks.

Thus, she definitely cannot be called a weak opponent. The full stats for this enemy can be seen in the pictures above (2P, 3P and 4P show the stats when playing in co-op mode).

Tips for choosing heroes

Considering the boss’s high resistance to the Pyro element, it’s definitely not worth taking the main damage dealers of the corresponding element, but you can easily add Pyro healers or shield fighters who do not deal direct damage to the enemy. You can even take a fiery sub-DD to assign appropriate statuses and cause elemental reactions.

We strongly recommend taking damage-dealing archers into your squad, as the boss will often rise high into the air, becoming inaccessible to those with melee weapons - only archers will be able to reach him there.

You should also take a good healer and/or shielder, as the boss can deal a lot of damage with his attacks, and it will be difficult to dodge them due to the fact that they hit the area. Plus, the Servant will regularly hang on your characters Life debt, which can only be removed with the help of healing.

Considering the above information, we have prepared some of the most suitable units that will make it easier for you to deal with Harlequin. They are demonstrated in the table below.
