Summary
Genshin Impactis in beta testing for Version 4.6, and as a result, players can finally have their first glimpse into Arlecchino’s idle and combat animations. While Version 4.5 has launched forGenshin Impact, the community is already anxiously awaiting the next patch. The reason for this is twofold: Version 4.6 will see the debut of Arlecchino, the third Fatui Harbinger to join the playable cast, and it will also take players to Remuria in the Sea of Yore.
Though Remuria has been teased for quite a while,Arlecchino inGenshin Impactis undoubtedly meant to be the star of Version 4.6. Her ability kit will function around the Bond of Life mechanic, which was initially introduced to the game via the crafted weapons in Fontaine. However, as a Pyro Polearm, she will also get a bit of a novelty factor with her signature weapon. Instead of a spear, Arlecchino will brandish a scythe, and her combat animations have been designed with this in mind.
The animations were shared by DoctorRatioon theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit, a regular contributor in the community. While Arlecchino was long reported as having a scythe as her signature weapon, it’s even more impressive seeing it in action. Though it starts off as a spear, it transforms into a scythe during Arlecchino’s Normal Attack, Charged Attack, and Elemental Skill animations. Her Elemental Burst manifests a crimson wing on her back before enveloping the field in sinister-looking shards. As befits a Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino’s role as aGenshin Impactcharacteris to be an on-field carry.
to augment Arlecchino’s damage,Genshin Impactplayers are expected to farm thenew artifact set coming in Version 4.6. Given that Bond of Life is an intrinsic part of Arlecchino’s ability kit, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy will likely be the best choice for the vast majority of her builds. The other artifact set, titled Unfinished Reverie, is instead made with the Burning reaction in mind – which has prompted many players to predict Emilie as a Dendro 5-Star character focused on Burning.
When Can Genshin Impact Players Pull for Arlecchino?
Genshin Impactplayers can spend their Intertwined Fates for Arlecchino on the Event Banners for Version 4.6 during the first half of the update. It remains to be seen which characters will accompany her debut, but Furina, Nilou, and Lyney have all been rumored to have a rerun. Before the focus shifts toNatlan inGenshin Impact, players can also expect to see Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Emilie as playable characters – though their rarity and ability kits still remain unconfirmed.
