Recent Genshin Impact leaks have revealed tons of new details about Arlecchino, the long-awaited five-star Pyro user. The game's official social media accounts have already revealed her official splash art and character intro, which confirms that Arlecchino will be featured in Version 4.6.
Since Fontaine arrived back in Genshin Impact 4.0, developer HoYoverse has been introducing new characters to the roster with every new update. Given that Arlecchino was the only revealed character, it indicates that the update won't have any new four-star units. It also means that she will be joined by three banner re-runs, probably for characters that were featured six to seven months ago.
Genshin Impact Confirms 4.5 Phase 1 Four-star Banner Characters
Genshin Impact officially reveals which four-star characters will be featured alongside Chiori and Itto on the first limited banner for update 4.5.
A new post on the popular Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has given more information about Arlecchino's kit. The details about this infamous Fatui Harbinger were originally provided by a popular leaker named Foul, who has a lot of credibility in the game's community.
Genshin Impact's New Arlecchino Kit Leaked Details
- Elemental Skill: Arlecchino launches an attack called Eclipsed Bloodfire which details Pyro damage to multiple nearby enemies. She dashes forward to perform a slashing attack on a target, dealing AoE Pyro damage and applying an effect called Blood Debt.
- Blood Debt: This effect lasts for 30 seconds, and it deals Pyro damage to an enemy every 3 seconds. Arlecchino can recover this effect by using her Charged Attack and for each recovered stack, a Bond of Life is applied equal to 20% of her maximum HP.
- Elemental Burst: Arlecchino invokes the winds of Eclipsed Bloodfire, granting her a Bond of Life worth 15% of her maximum HP, and she also deals AoE Pyro damage.
- Normal Attack: When Arlecchino's Bond of Life effect is greater or equal to 30% of her max HP, she gains a 40% Pyro damage buff. Her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks become infused with Pyro. During this state, Arrlecchino's attacks increase the damage dealt, which scales with the current percentage of her Bond of Life. Her unique Normal Attack strongly indicates that Arlecchino will be a new Pyro DPS character in Genshin Impact.
Her unique Normal Attack effects strongly indicate that Arlecchino will be a new Pyro DPS character in Genshin Impact. Bond of Life probably refers to the special state mentioned in previous Genshin Impact leaks which makes Arlecchino resistant to incoming healing effects. During combat, the only healing she can get is through her Elemental Skill.
Similar to how Genshin Impact's Hu Tao operates on the field, players will probably need to constantly pay attention to Arlecchino's HP bar. One of her talents makes her grant a Bond of Life worth 70% of her maximum health whenever she defeats an enemy affected by Blood Debt. The leak has also revealed that Blood Debt has different stages which determine its effects.
Her second talent makes her receive 1% resistance to elemental and physical damage for every 100 points above 1000 of her ATK stat. Going by HoYoverse's usual update schedule, players can expect Arlecchino to arrive in the first part of Genshin Impact Version 4.6.
