Genshin Impact's Arlecchino receives a quality-of-life update in Version 5.4, according to a leak. This leak highlights a new swapping animation and a visual indicator appearing above her character model after swapping. While the indicator's function remains unconfirmed, it's speculated to display her Bond of Life (BoL) levels.
Arlecchino, a five-star Pyro DPS unit and member of the Fatui Harbingers, has a complex kit. This new feature, similar to Natlan's Nightsoul system, is expected to improve usability, particularly in complex battles requiring simultaneous management of multiple targets and status effects. The BoL mechanic, unique to certain Fontaine characters, functions as a reverse shield, depleting upon healing instead of increasing HP.
This isn't Arlecchino's first post-release adjustment, reflecting the complexity of her design. Despite this, she remains a popular and highly-rated Pyro DPS character. The timing of this QoL update is noteworthy, coinciding with her upcoming appearance on a limited banner in Version 5.3, alongside Clorinde, the Champion Duelist. This banner is slated for release around January 22nd.
