Most Reliable Genshin Impact 4.6 Arlecchino Leaks (So Far)

Despite her release still being a few weeks away, there are already several Genshin Impact 4.6 leaks about Arlecchino, many of which are reliable. Also known as the Knave, this Fatui Harbinger is one of the most anticipated playable characters in the game. Leaks about her have been occurring even before the release of Fontaine and the introduction of the character as an NPC in the story. Now, however, HoYoverse has finally confirmed Arlecchino’s release in Genshin Impact 4.6, putting a timer on the long wait for players who want to use the Pyro unit.

Although the developer did not reveal much about the upcoming character, several leaks are plaguing the game. Details about Arlecchino’s animation set, some of her abilities, and even how she operates in her rumored new boss fight have been shared, and a lot of the information comes from trustworthy sources. Even part of the necessary materials for Arlecchino’s Ascension in Genshin Impact have been leaked, most of which players can already start farming if they believe the information and want to get ahead of her release in late April. This could save some time when leveling her up.

Arlecchino’s Vision, Weapon, & Rating In Genshin Impact 4.6

As was previously mentioned, HoYoverse has confirmed that Arlecchino is a Pyro unit. This is the only piece of official information revealed about the Fatui Harbinger so far, so it can be completely trusted, as it comes from the developer itself. What leaks have revealed, however, is that Arlecchino’s weapon in Genshin Impact is a polearm, meaning her regular attacks will deal physical damage, while relying on her Skill and Burst for elemental Pyro damage output. She has not been confirmed as such, but rumors and her overall status in the game point toward Arlecchino being a 5-star unit.

Arlecchino’s Animation Set & Skill Kit In Genshin Impact 4.6

Aside from descriptive details about her, there have also been video leaks featuring Arlecchino. The footage shows the Fatui Harbinger both in and out of combat, in a showcase of her animation set and her skill kit in the upcoming patch. The first set of leaks highlights how Arlecchino moves around. The author of the leak was not credited, but the video was reposted by a user on Reddit and tagged as “Reliable” information. The video showing the new Genshin Impact character does seem authentic. In it, players can see her animation set.

The video also shows the exclusive animations in Arlecchino’s combat kit, from her Normal and Charged Attacks to the Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. While the Normal and Charged Attacks are unique in the way they present themselves, as if Arlecchino were dancing, they are standardized and deal physical damage. Arlecchino’s Elemental Skill creates a path of red Pyro thorns that emerge from the ground as the character herself teleports forward dealing elemental damage. This seems like a good way of starting a fight and closing the gap between Arlecchino and the enemy in Genshin Impact.

From the looks of the same leaked footage, Arlecchino’s Elemental Burst may be the most valuable part of her gameplay kit. It starts off with a short cutscene and sees her dealing an instance of a large AoE Pyro attack. This, however, is the least important. After that, Arlecchino is said to enter a secondary state, which is being called Infused by most leakers and was further showcased in another leaked video posted on Reddit and marked as “Reliable.”

If the leaks about Genshin Impact 4.6 are true, this rumored secondary state Arlecchino enters with her Elemental Burst infuses her Normal and Charged Attacks with Pyro, allowing her to deal elemental damage more frequently. This also makes her less dependent on her Elemental Skill to apply Pyro on enemies. In a sense, it seems like Arlecchino’s leaked Burst is much like Hu Tao’s Elemental Burst, though it is uncertain if it will consume Arlecchino’s HP to activate it.

The more specific details about Arlecchino’s gameplay kit have not yet been detailed by leaks. It is uncertain which stat Arlecchino’s damage will scale off of and what other bonuses are triggered by her Infused state. Despite the lack of that information, it does seem like Arlecchino is being molded into a main DPS character with a lot of on-field presence, especially due to how her Burst allegedly infuses her regular attacks with Pyro damage in Genshin Impact.

Arlecchino’s Weekly Boss Leaks In Genshin Impact 4.6

Aside from becoming a playable unit in Version 4.6, there are also leaks hinting at Arlecchino being the next weekly boss of the game, the second major opponent in the Fontaine region – following the All-Devouring Narwhal boss in Genshin Impact. Leaked information shared by another Reddit user shows that the weekly boss version of Arlecchino has multiple stages, with other rumors pinpointing it to two phases. The first one seems to be more standard, with a human-sized and equally matched encounter between the Traveler and the Fatui Harbinger.

Most leaks, however, are focused on the rumored phase 2 of Arlecchino’s boss fight. As seen in the footage leaked by Team Mew and shared by a user on Reddit, Arlecchino enters an Infused state and, with it, uses two Pyro scythes, as well as a plethora of new attacks. Players can observe that Arlecchino’s boss version does ramp up the aggressiveness with her newfound abilities.

If the leaks are true, she shoots a sequence of Pyro lasers, leaps toward the player’s location, and even flies, where she uses her wings to conjure guiding missiles and Pyro AoE bombs. If this is all accurate, Arlecchino’s weekly boss version in Genshin Impact may be one of the coolest and most challenging encounters in the game.

FY Leaks shared a full description of Arlecchino’s mechanics, which was later shared on Reddit. Aside from how she operates in phase 1 and phase 2, the leak highlights that the rumored weekly boss has a mechanic in both stages in which players have to clear something called a “bond of life” followed by a Charged Attack in order to deal a massive burst of damage.

The post also says that if this is not done, the enemy deals a “lethal amount of damage” to the player, which may add to how challenging it is. Another concerning element featured in the leak is that Arlecchino allegedly applies bleeding, much like the Wolves of the Rift in Genshin Impact. This makes characters lose life over time and the only way to deal with it is healing through the debuff.
