Summary
A newGenshin Impactleak has revealed that Arlecchino will receive an interesting change to her swapping animation in the upcoming Version 5.4. Arlecchino has been a part ofGenshin Impactsince the previous Fontaine arc, which portrayed her as the main villain.
Arlecchino also belongs to the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, a group of high-ranking officers who work for Tsaritsa,Genshin Impact’s current Cryo Archon. Even though the current storyline completely revolves around the game’s most recent additions, Citlali and Natlan’s Archon Mavuika, it seems like HoYoverse is about to make adjustments to some of their previous playable units.

A newleak from Firefly Newsthat was shared on theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit byISRUKRENGhas revealed an interesting QoL change for the famous five-star Pyro user Arlecchino that should arrive in update 5.4. The leak shows that Arlecchino will receive an interesting indicator that will appear above her model once she is swapped out. While the leak does not confirm what this indicator will represent, most fans seem to agree that it will most likely reveal if Arlecchino’s Bond of Life levels are enough to trigger her Pyro infusion Passive Effect. Similar to Natlan’s Nightsoul system,Genshin Impact’s Bond of Lifemechanic is exclusive only to some Fontaine characters, and it essentially works as a reverse shield, preventing characters from being healed. Instead of increasing HP when healing occurs, the character’s BoL bar will be reduced.
Genshin Impact Leaks: Arlecchino’s New QoL Change Explained
Many fans seem to like this change, and while it won’t directly increase Arlecchino’s damage potential, it will probably make her significantly easier to use. Some players have pointed out that this effect will be most useful during chaotic fights in which players have to pay attention to multiple targets and status effects at the same time. Since her release, Arlecchino has already received multiple similar changes, which is uncommon forplayable characters inGenshin Impact.
The main reason for Arlecchino’s multiple adjustments is probably that she has one of the most complicated character kits in the game. Despite this, she remains one of the fan-favorite playable units in the community and is widely regarded as one of thebest Pyro DPS characters inGenshin Impact.

Some fans suggested that HoYoverse introduced this change just in time since she’s scheduled to appear on a Limited Character Banner inGenshin ImpactVersion 5.3. The recently held Special Program event confirmed that Arlecchino will be part of the second banner cycle, which should drop around January 22.Genshin Impactalso revealed that Arlecchino will be paired with another Fontaine character, the famous Champion Duelist known as Clorinde.
