Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch with the impending arrival of Arlecchino, aka The Knave and Father, in Genshin Impact’s Version 4.6. HoYoverse has just confirmed a treat for fans: a brand-new animated short titled ‘The Song Burning in the Embers’, going deep into the backstory of this enigmatic character.
Set your alarms for April 17, 2024, at 12:00 UTC+8, when the short premieres on social media platforms.
Arlecchino, wielding a blazing Pyro polearm, is slated to grace her own wish banner in the first half of Version 4.6: Two Worlds Aflame, as the Crimson Night Fades. She brings a unique combat style centered around the intriguing “Bond of Life” mechanic.
By skillfully managing this bond, she amps up her attack power to fiery heights, unleashing devastating Pyro damage with her Normal Attacks. To keep her bond strong, she deftly imposes and collects Blood-Debt Directives from her adversaries.
And here’s the kicker: her Elemental Burst isn’t just for offense—it’s also her lifeline, serving as her only source of healing during the heat of battle.
Circle April 24, 2024, on your calendar, because that’s when Version 4.6 blazes onto the scene across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android platforms. Just remember, while Genshin Impact is free-to-play, it’s no stranger to the thrills of the cash shop and gacha experience.
