When Fontaine was first introduced in Genshin Impact, players will learn of a new feature called the Bond of Life. However, this feature is mostly negligible until the release of Arlecchino in version 4.6, where she ensures that the mechanic actually holds significance. Unfortunately, like a two-edged sword, Arlecchino bringing attention to the mechanics of Bond of Life isn't entirely beneficial since her abilities work against the normal system.
Therefore, if players wish to learn the basics of the Bond of Life mechanic in Genshin Impact, they can refer to this article.

Bond Of Life In Genshin Impact
Bond of Life in Genshin Impact is a mechanic that blocks healing on the affected character until the Bond of Life is removed. The amount of Bond of Life can be seen on the character's HP bar, at the ratio of 1:2. For example, if a Bond of Life bonds to 50% of the character's HP, then the indicator will show red lines around 25% of the character's HP bar. This also means that the maximum value for Bond of Life is 200% of max HP.
New Bond of Life will stack with existing ones, so ignoring Bond of Life debuff can be detrimental as removing them at maximum stack means players have to stack up a lot of healing.
