Travelers, fasten your seat belts, because Genshin Impact 4.6 is about to drop, and guess who’s taking the spotlight? Yes, Arlecchino from the Fatui Harbingers is finally about to come on stage! You have been saving those primogems like a treasure, haven’t you? Now is the time for you to jump in and get this fiery member of your team. Keep your hats on, though, because this patch isn’t just about Arlecchino. Not at all! There are a number of characters to pick from that it might be harder to decide who to wish for. In addition to Arlecchino, who is our show’s star, we have the famous 5-star rerun of Lyney. These two hyper-carry DPS are going head-to-head, and they bring plenty of diverse strategies to the table.
So, let’s get down to business and discuss Arlecchino. She’s not just any character; she’s a 5-star Fatui Harbingers member who swings a polearm around like it’s nothing. Think of her as a fiery tornado that is causing havoc on the battlefield. She excels on the Mono Pyro, Overload, and Vape squads, but the real drawback is that she is on a healing lockdown when her Bond of Life activates. What is a queen if she doesn’t have her crown? The cherry on top of Arlecchino’s fiery outfit is her signature weapon, Crimson Moon’s Semblance. It’s like giving her a nuclear bomb and telling her to go crazy because it gives her a big ATK boost and a high 22% CRIT rate. Arlecchino’s Bond of Life tricks work perfectly with this weapon’s passive effect, which makes her do a ridiculous amount of damage.
There’s more, though! Let’s get down to the specifics of what she can do. She rushes into battle and cuts through foes with pyro-infused attacks, leaving them marked for destruction. Although her charged attack is mostly used for dealing damage, if you hold it, it can also activate her half-wing, which lets her float, move faster, and even go through water. Arlecchino’s damage dealing ability is influenced by the Bond of Life status she possesses. Through the use of her ability, she is able to mark enemies with Blood-Debt Direction, and then activate Bond of Life to make her attacks powerful by damaging them with pyro damage. The markings on the field are absorbed by her burst ability, which leads to an increase in her Bond of Life. Quickly following the burst animation, it immediately heals her and deals area-of-effect pyro damage. At first, this healing concentrates on her Bond of Life, and then it moves on to her overall health. Depending on how sufficiently she is built, it can heal her to high or full health even from a low HP state. Due to the fact that she cannot be healed when Bond of Life is active, this is her primary method of healing. It is recommended that she be played as a hyper-carry build, with her burst ability serving as the primary source of damage and healing. However, there is a possibility that new players will find her difficult to grasp, especially if they do not have a good shielder on their team. Nevertheless, she is still an amazing character to pull for, and definitely fun to build depending on your own preference and what team comps work for you.
Finally, this brings us to the end of our review of the current update for Genshin Impact, which is version 4.6.
