===Pros=== * Incredibly fast with a default 8" movement plus the ability to Advance and Charge, and everyone ignores terrain and models. **With the Psychic Awakening update, a whole bunch of deepstrike shenanigans have also been added. * Beautiful models with a unique and cool theme that can be painted in any kind of ridiculous way without breaking fluff. * Hit like an absolute truck in Assault with 4 attacks base for basic troops, and can also pull off close-ranged Shooting shenanigans with Fusion Pistols and Starweavers. * Your BASIC TROOPS can have '''5''' attacks. ** To compare, many characters have just 4, and the Golden bananas have 3 (admittedly though their thing is being hard as nails in defence, they hit at much higher strength and AP than you, ''and'' have ways of boosting their numbers of attacks. Try not to get arrogant when facing them down in melee; give 'em a chance and they will wipe your entire squad). * Have the '''AELDARI''' keyword, meaning you can plug the holes in their capabilities with complementary units from Dark Eldar or Craftworld Eldar (e.g.: cheap scoring Kabalites). You will, however, need to take these units in a separate detachment, per the <s>new</s> Battle Brothers rule. * Cheap HQs and Troops you want to be taking a lot of makes it easy to fill out Battalions and Brigades for extra Command Points. * Possibly the best faction for leadership bombs on single units. *The sheer number of tactics and synergies available give Harlequins one of the highest skill ceilings in the game, a true harlequins player can run rings around their opponent giving them a very satisfying playstyle. * Haywire bikes are arguably one of the best way of dealing with vehicles for eldar, the glaives on those bikes will also typically eat through primaris marines pretty quickly too. * You can make cool Joker quotes the whole game and laugh away if you are winning. * You can always say that you're just doing it for the lolz if things go bad! * Most players are not accustomed to battling against these buggers. Use that to your advantage and seriously play for keeps, laugh and clown around all day but this army is even more cutthroat than dark eldar. * Almost every model has access to a 4++, and also has access to high AP weaponry. * They're Clowns.
