A recent Genshin Impact leak has spilled the beans on two highly anticipated characters, Arlecchino and Clorinde. 

Ever since the Fontaine region’s debut, HoYoverse has consistently introduced a pair of characters with each subsequent update. However,
the upcoming version 4.5 will deviate from this pattern, adding just one new playable character, the Geo user named Chiori.

Arlecchino and Clorinde have captured the hearts of fans since their appearances in the official storyline, particularly Arlecchino, who has emerged as a prominent antagonist in the Fontaine arc. This has led to much excitement among players eager to see Arlecchino become a playable character.

Details from a recent post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit shed more light on Arlecchino and Clorinde’s abilities. Arlecchino is confirmed to be a Pyro user, while Clorinde wields an Electro Vision. Here’s a rundown of the leak’s contents:

• Clorinde is likened to “Cyno 2.0” but with greater strength.
• Compared to Cyno, Clorinde’s Elemental Skill is expected to be much more impactful.
• Clorinde’s Constellations offer substantial benefits, allowing her to excel beyond just triggering Overload reactions.
• Arlecchino’s gameplay won’t hinge solely on her Elemental Burst ability.
• Both characters will feature on their respective limited banners.
  
  

As for playstyles, Clorinde’s “Cyno 2.0” description suggests she may excel as a primary DPS character. However, her kit’s flexibility could make her suitable for a support role as well. While Arlecchino is initially introduced as a Pyro user, speculation abounds that she might gain the ability to control a different element, given the precedent set by characters like Scaramouche, now known as Wanderer, who transitioned from Electro to Anemo.

Although an exact release date remains unknown, the leak suggests that Arlecchino and Clorinde won’t debut in the same game version. This aligns with HoYoverse’s tendency to stagger releases, avoiding consecutive Limited Character Banners featuring highly anticipated characters.

This influx of information has ignited anticipation among Genshin Impact fans, who eagerly await the arrival of these intriguing new characters.
