Genshin Impact Arlecchino - A Companion And A Foe

Arlecchino, the "Knave" and the Fourth of the Fatui Harbingers, will reappear as a playable 5-star Pyro polearm wielder. In combat, her abilities revolve around the "Bond of Life" mechanic, which is meant to prevent healing but is cleverly utilized by Arlecchino to boost her attack power. Arlecchino may have a "Bond of Life" bar above her health, and when this bar reaches a certain percentage of her health, she enters an offensive state, enhancing her Normal Attacks with increased strength and non-overridable Pyro damage by consuming the Bond of Life. To maintain this Bond of Life, Arlecchino can place and gather Blood-Debt Directives from her adversaries. Further, due to her unique Talent, her Elemental Burst is her only means of acquiring healing effects during combat.

Arlecchino is also known as the new Weekly Boss in the 4.6 version who will enforce a Blood-Debt Directive on players challenging her. Those burdened with this directive will experience the Bond of Life effect, enduring increased damage from her assaults and being unable to receive healing. However, players who successfully repay the debt will receive a boost to their Charged Attack. Furthermore, Arlecchino is affectionately referred to as "Father" by children in the House of the Hearth. Further details about the House and Arlecchino will be unveiled in her Story Quest "Ignis Purgatorius."

Arlecchino will be introduced in the first half of Version 4.6 Event Wishes and Lyney's rerun, with Baizhu and Wanderer following in the second half. The new 5-star polearm "Crimson Moon's Semblance" will also debut in the first half of Version 4.6, emphasizing combat abilities centered around the Bond of Life mechanic.

Genshin Impact 4.6 also introduces a new area for adventure seekers, featuring a vast mysterious underwater empire waiting to be explored. Deep within the Sea of Bygone Eras lies the remnants of Remuria, an empire whose peak and eventual downfall occurred before the establishment of the Court of Fontaine. Understanding its "Symphony" will be crucial for activating specific mechanisms and ancient devices. As the adventure unfolds, players may encounter a particular unique dragon and face off against the new Boss Enemy, "Legatus Golem."

On Inazuma's Watatsumi Island, you will have the opportunity to assist Itto in preparing for the "Iridescent Arataki Rockin' for Life Tour de Force of Awesomeness," while also participating in a new rhythm game event. Besides, players will be able to customize their own rhythm games and invite friends to play by sharing codes. As a reward, they may have the chance to acquire the new instrument named "Nightwind Horn."
