Harlequins are also noted for their exotic and deadly combat weapons. The most gruesome of these is the [[Harlequin's Kiss]], which resembles a sharpened tube, tapering to a wicked point, fixed to a warrior's forearm. The tube is actually filled with monofilament wires. When the Kiss is punched into a victim, the wires uncoil and flail around, slicing the victim apart from the inside.{{Fn|1}}
Harlequins are taught a means to navigate the currents of the [[Webway]] without a map, which they teach to the [[White Seer]]s.{{Fn|41}} Although [[Solitaire]]s are said to be the only Harlequins which know the correct paths to the [[Black Library of Chaos]] whose routes they guard.{{Fn|42}}
Harlequins, unlike Craftword or Exodite Eldar, do not wear or use [[spirit stone]]s to preserve their souls from being devoured by Slaanesh upon their death. Instead, the Harlequins posses a secret that allows their souls to escape Slaanesh's jaws. However, it's not a secret they're willing to share with their wider Eldar kin.{{Fn|11a}}
