As the main villain of the Fontaine arc, there have been numerous rumors discussing Arlecchino and her potential to join Genshin Impact's playable roster. A credible Genshin Impact leaker known as hxg_diluc has posted a set of new leaks that give more specific details about Arlecchino's Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst, and other Talent effects.

New Arlecchino Leaks Explained

  • Elemental Skill: Arlecchino enters a special state that infuses certain attacks with Pyro damage. During this time, she can sacrifice a portion of her HP to activate an effect called "the Contract of Life".
  • Contract of Life: This is described as a stacking effect that increases Arlecchino's attack damage and speed.
  • Elemental Burst: Removes the Contract's effect and restores a portion of her HP. It also makes Arlecchino perform a ranged attack and has additional effects.
  • Talent 1: While the Contract effect is active, Arlecchino will heal whenever she gets attacked.
  • Talent 2: Arlecchino's Pyro damage will increase whenever she hits a new target.

Some fans think that if the leaks are true, Arlecchino could become one of the strongest DPS characters in all of Genshin Impact. Players will most likely have to play around her Contract of Life effect, which seems to be the core of her design.

The new set of leaks gives more credibility to previous rumors which revealed that Arlecchino's signature weapon will also be unique and not that effective when used by other DPS units. These leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt, considering that Arlecchino's official release date is still at least 5–6 weeks away.

The only confirmed information about Arlecchino is that she is a sword user who can control the Pyro element. Regarding her overall power, leakers have unveiled that Arlecchino is the fourth most powerful Harbinger, making her one of the strongest individuals in the world of Teyvat.
