Genshin Impact Leak reveals Arlecchino's Harbinger rank

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed additional information about a highly popular character named Arlecchino. They belong to the notorious group of the Eleven Harbingers, who work for the Fatui organization, one of the main enemy factions in the world of Teyvat.

Arlecchino made her first appearance in the "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer of Genshin Impact last year, which also revealed the appearances of the remaining Harbingers. Since then, she has been introduced in one of the earliest trailers for the Fontaine story arc, confirming her involvement in the new Archon Quest.

The Eleven Fatui Harbingers are ranked according to their strength. For instance, the game's official story has confirmed that Tartaglia, also known as Childe, is recognized as the 11th Fatui Harbinger. Another significantly powerful character, the Wanderer, formerly known as Scaramouche during his villainous days, holds the 6th position within this group. A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has unveiled Arlecchino's rank among the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. According to the leak, she is the fourth most powerful character within this organization, suggesting that she could potentially be the most formidable villain to appear in the game, at least for the time being.

The official storyline of Fontaine has confirmed that Arlecchino belongs to the Hydro nation and has saved a group of orphans from captivity, including Lynette's sister, Lyney. While many players expected her to wield a sword, recent rumors suggest that Arlecchino will actually utilize polearms as her primary weapon.

As for her elemental affinity, she appears to be capable of controlling Pyro energy, which makes sense given the abundance of red details in her design. Although she assumes the role of the main antagonist in Fontaine, players anticipate that Arlecchino will join the playable roster, similar to the Wanderer in Update 3.3. Credible leakers have described Arlecchino's abilities as "Puppetry," leading many players to believe that she will possess the ability to manipulate various types of elemental entities.

Many fans argue that there is a great deal of mystery surrounding this character, which somewhat parallels the enigmatic nature of the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun introduced in the Inazuma section. There is still no official information regarding Arlecchino's potential appearance in a character banner, but it is safe to assume that she won't be joining the playable roster in the foreseeable future.

Genshin Impact is now available for mobile devices, PC, PS4, and PS5. A version for the Switch is currently in development.
