Cover-Credits:
The Fatui Harbingers have been one of the most mysterious and interesting characters in Genshin Impact’s world of Teyvat. While all of them are equally interesting, players have recently run into Arlecchino in Fontaine’s Archon Quests where she played a major part. And as more and more leaks of Arlecchino surface, there is a lot to look forward to for players who want to add her to their roster.
The latest leak regarding Arlecchino suggests that she might have different stances in combat with her abilities, similar to Childe, who is also a Harbinger. Here’s what you need to know about the latest leak regarding Arlecchino’s kit and abilities.
Leaked Details of Arlecchino Kit Hit at Stance Change
According to the leaks, Arlecchino's kit includes an ability to switch forms, allowing her to transition seamlessly between a stance as a double-blade assassin and a stance as a standard polearm user. This is similar to what Childe has in his kit and could mean that all Harbingers could have a stance-change ability. This means we can expect Harbingers to all have a high level of flexibility within their kit and potential usage in teams.
Unlike other Pyro characters in Genshin Impact, leaks suggest that Arlecchino has a modifier on the Overload reaction, offering completely new gameplay options. While we don’t yet know exactly how her kit would make Overload more viable, we can speculate that Chevreuse, a recently released 4-star character, will be a part of her team since her kit complements Overload. Arlecchino’s synergy with Chevreuse could make Overload teams more viable, especially in upcoming regions like Natlan. The leaks suggest that her Overload buff modifiers are significant, promising a substantial impact on gameplay.
The leaks also suggest that Arlecchino will not only be limited to Overload. Like other Pyro carries, she will also make use of the Vaporize reaction and popular hydro supports such as Yelan, Furina, and Xingqiu. Add Kazuha to the mix and we will have a very traditional Vape setup that other characters like Hu Tao and Diluc use.
Leaked Constellation Details for Arlecchino
Leaked information about Arlecchino’s constellations suggests that she will follow the recent trend of characters being strong at C0 but gaining exceptional improvements with constellations. Especially with C2. For example, leaks suggest that her second constellation reduces enemy Pyro resistance and increases her damage when triggering the Overload reaction.
According to leaks, her fourth constellation resolves Energy Recharge issues, ensuring that players can use her abilities without worrying about energy issues. Finally, her sixth constellation buffs her damage after changing stances, increasing her Crit Rate and Crit Damage.
While her inclination towards the Overload reaction is fairly believable, leaks regarding Constellations are usually more subject to change. So take these with a grain of salt.
Release Date and Speculation
While Hoyoverse has not confirmed the exact release date for Arlecchino, speculation suggests that she could make her debut in either the 4.6 or 4.7 version of Genshin Impact. However, players should take these leaks with a grain of salt until Hoyo makes official announcements.
