As Genshin Impact dives into Version 4.5, excitement is already boiling over for the next upcoming character, Arlecchino. Hot on the heels of her drip marketing reveal, leaks have unveiled Arlecchino's stunning splash art and unique signature weapon, further stoking the fervour surrounding the enigmatic Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers.
Arlecchino first captivated fans in a groundbreaking trailer showcasing eight of the remaining Fatui Harbingers of Snezhnaya. Her white hair, iconic red exes, and enigmatic personality instantly captivated Genshin fans. Though brief, her subsequent appearance in the Fontaine storyline left a lasting impression with her quick wit and ominous presence.
Arlecchino splash art and signature weapon leaked!
With the opening of Genshin Impact 4.6's beta server, a flood of leaks about Arlecchino has emerged. A recent leak from reliable sources such as Dimbreath and UncleK showcased her splash art and signature weapon!
Dominated by a black and red colour scheme, Arlecchino takes centre stage against the backdrop of the "Ancient Moon of Doom" in her splash art. She stands on cracked earth marred by spears, a single red wing protruding from her back. Gazing back with a neutral expression, her left arm is outstretched, showcasing the intricate details of her outfit.
While Arlecchino’s pose in her splash art slightly differs from her drip marketing, the community is excited to see that HoYoverse is employing subtle variations between the promotional artworks, rather than a 1-to-1 copy as seen in previous releases. Here, the addition of the red wing and background tie into Arlecchino's lore, adding depth.
Adding to the excitement, recent leaks reveal that Arlecchino's signature weapon transforms into a scythe when she uses her Normal Attacks. This aligns with HoYoverse's recent trend of diversifying weapon designs, like Xianyun's fan-like "Crane's Echoing Call" Catalyst and Navia's axe-inspired "Verdict" Claymore. Named "Crimson Moon's Semblance", the weapon mirrors Arlecchino's aesthetic with its shared colour palette and design elements.
"Crimson Moon's Semblance” boasts a sub-stat of CRIT Rate, making it ideal for damage-focused characters. When equipped, this polearm grants a Bond of Life equal to 25% of the character's maximum HP upon landing a Charged Attack. This effect can only be triggered once every 14 seconds. Additionally, having an active Bond of Life grants a 12% DMG Bonus. This bonus increases further to 32% if the Bond of Life reaches 30% of the character's maximum HP or higher.
Arlecchino speculated release date
Although Arlecchino has appeared in-game through hints dropped by existing characters and her involvement in the Fontaine Archon Quest, HoYoverse has yet to reveal her official in-game release date.
However, considering the recent drip marketing reveal on Genshin Impact's official social media platforms recently, we can safely assume that Arlecchino will receive her first banner in Version 4.6, slated for release on 24 April 2024.
It’s important to bear in mind that leaked information can be subject to changes and should be taken with a grain of salt. However, this information comes from credible leakers who have maintained an impressive track record of accurate predictions regarding Genshin Impact's developments!
