Highlights
Arlecchino, a popular character in Genshin Impact, is part of the infamous group known as the Eleven Harbingers who work for the Fatui organization.
Arlecchino holds the esteemed position of being the fourth most influential member among the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, thus positioning her as possibly the most formidable antagonist encountered within the game thus far.
Despite her present role as a primary antagonist, players anticipate that Arlecchino will eventually transition into a playable character, endowed with the remarkable capability to manipulate diverse elemental creatures.
A new Genshin Impact leak has unveiled more details about a highly popular character named Arlecchino. She is a member of the notorious group known as the Eleven Harbingers, who serve the Fatui organization – one of the primary antagonist factions in the world of Teyvat.
Arlecchino made her initial appearance in Genshin Impact's "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer last year, which also introduced the other Harbingers. Since then, she has been showcased in one of the early trailers for the Fontaine story arc, solidifying her role in the new Archon Quest.
The power ranking of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers is confirmed in the game's official storyline. For instance, Tartaglia, also known as Childe, is recognized as the 11th Fatui Harbinger. Among them, Wanderer, previously known as Scaramouche during his villainous days, held the 6th position in this group. Recently, a leak on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has unveiled the ranking of Arlecchino within the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. According to the leak, she is positioned as the fourth most powerful character in this organization, indicating that she could possibly be the strongest villain to emerge in the game, at least for now.
Fontaine's official storyline confirms that Arlecchino is a member of the Hydro nation and that she rescued a group of orphaned children, including Lynette, Lyney's sister. Despite initial expectations that Arlecchino would be a sword user, recent rumors suggest that her primary weapon will actually be a polearm.
In terms of her element, Arlecchino appears to have control over Pyro energy, which aligns with her design featuring various red details. While she will initially serve as the main antagonist in Fontaine, players anticipate that Arlecchino will eventually become a playable character, much like Wanderer did in update 3.3. Credible leaks describe Arlecchino's abilities as "puppeteering," leading many players to believe that she will have the ability to manipulate different types of elemental creatures.
Many fans argue that this character possesses an air of mystique, resembling the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun who debuted in the Inazuma arc. Despite the absence of any official announcements regarding Arlecchino's inclusion in a character banner, it is unlikely that she will be added to the playable roster in the near future.
Genshin Impact can be played on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version currently being developed.
