Genshin Impact 4.6: Leaked Details of ‘Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy’ Artifact Set

The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy is one of the two new leaked artifact sets expected to be released in the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.6 update.  Leaks suggest that this set will offer unique bonuses, particularly suited for Arlecchino. The set offers powerful effects centered around the Bond of Life mechanic, providing substantial ATK bonuses and stackable damage buffs. However, due to its unique mechanic, only a few characters can utilize this set effectively. Let’s look at the details of this new artifact set, including its set effects and the best characters to use it on.

Leaked Details of The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy Artifact Set

The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy set offers two bonuses:

• 2-piece bonus: Increases ATK by 18%.

• 4-piece bonus: When the value of a Bond of Life increases or decreases, the equipped character deals 18% increased DMG for 6s. This effect can be stacked up to three times.

The 2-piece bonus provides a standard ATK increase, which is useful for boosting overall damage output. However, it's the 4-piece bonus that makes this set stand out. By leveraging the Bond of Life mechanic, the equipped character can potentially achieve a significant damage boost, up to 54% if all three stacks are activated.

Best Characters to Use

Arlecchino is the character who can make the best use of the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy artifact set. This is due to her kit being heavily based on the Bond of Life mechanic, allowing her to easily stack the 4-piece bonus and maximize the damage bonuses provided by the set.

Lore Behind the ‘The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy’ Set (Spoilers)

According to lore leaks, Natlan artifacts provide deeper insights into the culture and history of Natlan. The artifacts narrate the tale of Yupanqui, a young man with crimson eyes, who assembles a party of heroes to liberate the dragons enslaved by a tyrant king in a forbidden city. Among the heroes are a woman named Saquq, twins Atahualpa and Nascar, and a drunk craftsman. Their quest ultimately leads to the liberation of the dragons and the burial of the tyrant's city beneath ashes.

Additionally, the lore suggests the existence of six tribal dragons in Natlan, each guarding a different tribe residing in various terrains such as ravines, forests, and mountain peaks. The artifacts also hint at the presence of caves beneath Natlan, some of which may lead to the Abyss.
