Summary
- A leak reveals that Arlecchino, an upcoming boss in Genshin Impact, will have two phases with different challenges and strategies for players to face.
- Players should prepare for a tough battle as Arlecchino's second phase has high attack power and a Pyro Resistance buff to counter Pyro characters.
- Defeating Arlecchino as a Weekly Boss will reward players with valuable talent level-up materials for various characters in the game.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed information about an upcoming boss fight that will feature Arlecchino, a character who is also scheduled to join the playable roster in Version 4.6. Arlecchino plays the role of the main villain of the whole Fontaine arc, and she's portrayed as an intelligent and cunning character.
Arlecchino was first introduced back in 2022 in Genshin Impact's famous "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer that also showed all the remaining Harbingers. These characters are known as high-ranking officers within the Fatui, one of the main antagonist factions in the game, led by the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa.
A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has given a lot of information about Arlecchino's power as a Weekly Boss. According to the leak, this enemy will have two Phases, which is common for Weekly Boss Domains in Genshin Impact. The first phase will have a larger HP pool, exceeding over 1.7 million health points at level 90, which is 700k higher compared to her health in Phase 2. However, Arlecchino's second phase will have a much greater attack power that can potentially one-shot characters that are not equipped with a shield. Previous Genshin Impact beta leaks have revealed that Arlecchino uses her iconic scythes during both of these phases, and she can summon wings to fly around and launch powerful projectile attacks.
Genshin Impact: Arlecchino Weekly Boss Domain Location
Arlecchino's boss domain is rumored to be located in Mont Esus East, a sub-area located in the Liffey Region in Fontaine. The domain entrance will be a tomb that belongs to a former Genshin Impact Harbinger named Crucabena, the previous owner of the infamous nickname "The Knave." During her first phase, Arlecchino will fight with one Scythe and she will have a larger attack range, at least compared to her leaked playable version.
One of her attacks will make Arlecchino spread one of her wings, fly in the air, and launch various types of AoE attacks that Travelers need to avoid. During her second phase, Alrecchino's attacks will inflict a Bond of Life effect upon hitting a character. This effect will reduce incoming healing and cause the character to lose HP over time. Arlecchino will also receive a 70% Pyro Resistance buff, which makes sense considering that she uses this element.
This also means that players should avoid using Pyro characters in their Genshin Impact team composition, especially in the main DPS role. Defeating this Weekly Boss will reward players with important talent level-up materials that can be used to enhance the power of many upcoming Genshin Impact characters, including Arlecchino herself.
