SUMMARY
- Recently, some of the details about the two upcoming characters from the game have been leaked.
- Reportedly, the two new characters will be Arlecchino and Clorinde.
Fans eagerly look forward to newer updates in Genshin Impact. And rightly so, since the game does not only introduce changes and fixes. It is known to introduce new characters with each update.
Ever since the Fontaine region arrived in the game, developer, HoYoverse has maintained the tradition of introducing at least two characters in each of their subsequent updates. Consequently, fans are looking forward to the new characters coming in the next update. Meanwhile, a new Genshin Impact leak has uncovered more details about two upcoming characters.
Arlecchino and Clorinde in Genshin Impact
Earlier reports suggested the upcoming update will introduce two new characters, namely, Arlecchino and Clorinde. According to leaks, Arlecchino will be the main Pyro DPS unit. Hence, her kit is likely to include overloaded reaction damage, meaning Chevreuse will become one of her best supports in the game.
A recent leak on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit reveals more details about Arlecchino and Clorinde. Their respective elements and their in-game appearances confirm that Arlecchino is a Pyro user, while Clorinde will have an Electro Vision.
Here is what is known about the two and what they will individually bring to the table, according to leaks:
- Clorinde is described as “Cyno 2.0” however, will be much stronger.
- As compared to Cyno, Clorinde’s Elemental Skill will be more useful.
- Clorinde’s Constellations will bear high returns. Similarly, leveling them allows the character to work outside the Overload reaction.
- Arlecchino will not be seen reliant on her Elemental Burst.
- Chevreuse will be featured on both characters’ limited banners.
Interestingly, Clorinde is described as Cyno 2.0, which means she could probably fit the main DPS role. Thus, her Elemental Burst could allow her to get into a special state, enhancing the damage potential of her other attacks.
That being said, Clorinde is much more flexible as compared to Genshin Impact characters. Besides, the leak described her kit as being more “AFK-based.” Thus, she could also be a great fit for the support role. It remains to be seen what role she takes up when launched.
Arlecchino leaked kit
According to a previous leak by a user named Iron Mouse on X, here is what Arlecchino’s skill and kit will include:
- Abilities could be based on HP scaling.
- Fighting mechanics will be similar to Furina, where styles keep changing.
- Arlecchino draws a dagger in her first state by dealing Pyro damage in an AOE. Besides, she also draws life from enemies to heal herself.

- She has passive talent, allowing her to have increased attack speed with HP reduction.
- Elemental burst changes her form again to consume HP from teammates and increase her damage and AOE.
Arlecchino could be seen excelling in Overload damage compared to other Pyro elemental reactions. This appears to have a direct synergy with an upcoming Artifact set that will be arriving in the same update based on Overload damage.
When will Arlecchino arrive in Genshin Impact?
According to the information shared by leakers, Arlecchino is expected to arrive in the Genshin Impact’s upcoming 4.6 update. If the leaks are to be believed, she will debut in one of the two phases dates, on the following dates:

Ever since they appeared in the official storyline, Arlecchino and Clorinde have both become two of the most popular characters among the fans of Genshin Impact. Arlecchino is the main antagonist of the Fontaine arc, so it is obvious why fans are so excited to see her as a playable character.
