Genshin Impact's Arlecchino receives a quality-of-life update in Version 5.4, according to a leak. This update introduces a new swap animation and a visual indicator, likely displaying her Bond of Life (BoL) levels.
This adjustment is particularly noteworthy given Arlecchino's complex kit. While not directly boosting damage, the indicator simplifies gameplay, especially in hectic battles requiring simultaneous management of multiple targets and effects. This isn't her first such adjustment, highlighting HoYoverse's commitment to refining her gameplay experience. Her popularity as a top-tier Pyro DPS character likely contributes to this ongoing fine-tuning.
The timing of this update is interesting, coinciding with Arlecchino's appearance on a limited banner in Version 5.3, alongside Clorinde, around January 22nd. The leak, originating from Firefly News and shared on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, suggests the indicator will help players track Arlecchino's BoL, a Fontaine-exclusive mechanic functioning as a reverse shield, reducing the BoL bar instead of increasing HP upon healing. The visual cue should significantly improve usability.
