Summary
- A Genshin Impact leak reveals the upcoming five-star characters for update 4.6, including Pyro user Arlecchino.
- HoYoverse introduces limited five-star characters in updates, with four in each cycle spread over two banner phases.
- The leaked banners for Genshin Impact Version 4.6 will feature Arlecchino, Lyney, Wanderer, and Baizhu, with unique abilities and dynamics.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed the five-star characters that will receive a re-run during the upcoming update 4.6. Developer HoYoverse has already confirmed the arrival of a new five-star unit, the long-awaited Pyro user Arlecchino, also known as The Knave.
As Genshin Impact's playable roster keeps growing with each new version of the game, HoYoverse has featured four limited five-star characters in each update. These characters are spread over the two banner cycles, and they are always accompanied by three four-star units.
The ongoing Phase 1 of Genshin Impact 4.5 has featured the new five-star character Chiori alongside a familiar face, the famous leader of the Arataki Gang known as Itto. Both characters carry a Geo Vision, which is unusual because HoYoverse usually features two five-star units that have different elemental powers. A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed more information about the upcoming banners that will arrive with update 4.6. According to the leak, players can expect Genshin Impact Version 4.6 banners to feature Arlecchino, Lyney, Wanderer, and Baizhu.
Genshin Impact Version 4.6 Leaked Banner Characters
- Phase 1: Arlecchino and Lyney
- Phase 2: Wanderer and Baizhu
It's safe to say that players are most hyped about the release of the five-star Pyro user Arlecchino, who has already made multiple appearances in the game's official storyline. While she has been portrayed as the main antagonist of the whole Fontaine Archon Quest, many players expect her to turn to the good side, similar to how HoYoverse changed Wanderer's personality.
Arlecchino belongs to the infamous Fatui Harbingers group, which consists of high-ranking officers who work for the Cryo Archon!
When it comes to her power on the field, Arlecchino is rumored to be a new Pyro DPS character with a unique kit. Arlecchino also belongs to the infamous group known as the Fatui Harbingers, which consists of high-ranking officers who work for the Cryo Archon. She will be accompanied by Lyney, which is symbolic considering that they have strong ties in Genshin Impact's main story. Similar to Arlecchino, Lyney is a powerful Pyro character who thrives when placed in a team composition with many different supportive units that share the same element.
Wanderer will be the third DPS character featured in this update. He's reserved for the second banner phase, during which he will appear alongside Genshin Impact's Dendro support Baizhu. While HoYoverse has yet to give any official information about the release date of the update, players can expect Genshin Impact Version 4.6 to drop around April 26.
