While the playable character roster seems to be the main focus of Genshin Impact, the game also offers a variety of iconic villains. Enemies in Genshin Impact can be divided into different families, from harmless Slimes to terrifying Mystical Beasts.
Out of all the enemies in the game, one group stands out to most players, and they are called the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. They are mysterious fighters who work for the Fatui organization under the command of Genshin Impact's Cryo Archon known as Tsaritsa.
Genshin Impact's recent teaser video featuring the famous Harbingers has certainly shocked the community. Nine out of the eleven Harbingers have gathered to pay tribute to another Harbinger named Rosalyne who died in a battle against the powerful Electro Archon known as Raiden Shogun. The video has gathered a lot of attention in the community as it is the first time developer HoYoverse revealed the design of all the Harbingers. With all the new characters, the majority of the community started wondering which ones will become playable. One of the most credible leakers in the Genshin Impact world, SpendYourPrimos, has revealed which Harbingers will most likely join the playable roster in the future.
The leaker confirms that six of them will certainly become playable, two are highly likely and there is still no information about Pierro and Rosalyne, also known as La Signora. In order to bring Rosayline to the playable roster, developer HoYoverse would somehow need to bring her back from the dead. In the case of Pierro, the main reason why his status is unknown is probably that players suspect that he could be one of the end-game villains since he is rumored to be the strongest out of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers.
The leaker's list contains only ten names because one of the Harbingers, Tartaglia better known as Childe, is already part of the playable roster. At the time of his introduction to the game, players were expecting more Harbingers to follow his arrival, but it seems as though HoYoverse decided to take things slowly. According to recent Genshin Impact leaks, out of the remaining Harbingers, Scaramouche has the highest chance to appear on one of the upcoming banners.
Rumors have been hinting that he could be arriving around Genshin Impact update 3.2 which should drop around November 2022. Leaks have already revealed that he will be a new Genshin Impact catalyst user with the ability to fire a power beam dealing AoE elemental damage. However, these leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt since HoYoverse has not even revealed his element, despite making him an important part of the story.
Genshin Impact is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development.
