Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks: Arlecchino May Get A Long-Needed Buff Months After Her Release

screenrant.com:

A new 5.4 leak has shown that Arlecchino may receive a long-needed buff, several months after her initial release. At the moment, the action RPG is at the very start of Version 5.3, but the beta tests for Version 5.4 have commenced and, with them, a lot of information is starting to get leaked as a consequence. There have already been a few reports about the upcoming content, including details on the new character Mizuki’s kit in 5.4, which says she will be a 5-star Anemo character wielding a catalyst in combat.

In terms of new content, there have also been reports of some of the events in the patch, such as a battle-centered tower event with over 100 stages, as well as an event that may give a new F2P (free-to-play) 4-star polearm. Based on the stats that were leaked so far, this rumored free event weapon in 5.4 will not be as good as expected, however. In addition to new content, developer HoYoverse seems to be planning some quality-of-life updates, as indicated by leaks, and one of them may affect Arlecchino.

According to footage provided by the leaker known as Firefly News, which was then shared in a post tagged as “” on Reddit, Arlecchino will get a new visual effect upon entering the field. The leaked video shows players using Yumemizuki Mizuki and then swapping to Arlecchino in the team comp. Once the 5-star Pyro unit enters, the image of a scythe blade, which resembles her signature weapon, appears above her head.

This new year of content for Genshin Impact will revisit existing Nations of Teyvat and then likely take players to a new region with new characters.

The leak does not specify exactly what this new visual buff serves for and what the animation represents. Still, it is possible to speculate that it is tied in with the main mechanic in Arlecchino’s kit. If the leaked footage about Arlecchino’s visual buff is true, this scythe animation could be a way of indicating that the character has enough Bond of Life to trigger Masque of Red Death. When using
