Genshin Impact leaks unveil more details about Arlecchino's release version and gameplay

The above Genshin Impact leak states the following about Arlecchino:

• Element: Pyro

She was previously leaked as a Pyro Sword user, but that appears to have changed with the latest information from white__fx1. It is expected that her signature Polearm will resemble a sickle.

Gameplay leaks

The above leak suggests that Arlecchino may rely on her Normal and Charged attacks to primarily deal damage in Genshin Impact. Apparently, she will be able to use her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst to imbue her attacks with Pyro. Moreover, it is expected that she may perform well in Overload team compositions.

Let's also take a look at her older kit leaks:

The Reddit post shown above is a compilation of various leaks stated by the very reliable Uncle YC. As per him, this Fatui Harbinger apparently "controls HP."

How she does it remains to be seen. Since current rumors point to her being the featured 5-star introduced in the 4.6 patch, that means players won't get her beta test gameplay footage for several months.

An older leak by Uncle YC mentioned that puppeteering is tied to Arlecchino's kit in some capacity. Unfortunately, the news on this topic is as barren as the rumors about her HP controlling capabilities. It is worth noting that details about gameplay are always subject to change, such as how this Fatui Harbinger was initially leaked as a Sword user in her concept art yet now wields Polearms.

Storyline leaks

Supposedly, Arlecchino holds the 4th seat of the Fatui Harbingers, indicating her importance in the organization. There was speculation that she had the fourth or tenth seat, however, her number has been confirmed since.

The leaker who stated this information did unveil some important 4.2 banner leaks that were supported by the highly reliable Uncle YC, meaning this storyline reveal could be accurate, too.

Some Genshin Impact leaks also reveal quotes from upcoming Version Updates. The one shown above is apparently for Version 4.1. It talks about Arlecchino's kindness towards her soldiers, often giving them simple missions. Whether this is a facade tied to her rumored manipulative skills is unknown.
