Summary
Genshin Impacthas revealed more information about two artifact sets and a five-star weapon that will arrive in the upcoming Version 4.6. The game has already confirmed that the first part of the update will introduce Arlecchino, the long-awaited Fatui Harbinger.
Artifacts and weapons are the two main parts of each character’s build, and they impact their performance on the field. Almost every five-starGenshin Impactcharacter has a signature weapon that appears alongside them on the game’s limited weapon banner.
Genshin Impact’s official Twitter account has revealed more information about two new artifact sets named Unfinished Reverie and Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, as well as Arlecchino’s signature weapon, Crimson Moon’s Semblence.Every character inGenshin Impactcan carry up to five different artifacts, each of which provides a different stat, from flat HP to elemental damage. Every set also has a two-piece and four-piece bonus which can be triggered by carrying more pieces of the same set.
Genshin Impact Version 4.6 Artifacts
The Unfinished Reverie artifact set could be useful for some Pyro characters inGenshin Impactsince it’s tied to the Burning elemental reaction. Many fans have already started speculating that it will be tied to one of theupcoming Pyro users such as Xbalanque, who is expected to be the first Natlan character to join the roster. The fact that the four-piece bonus effects can be triggered when the character leaves the field could indicate that it will be the go-to set for an upcoming off-field Pyro support.
The Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy set will be the main choice for Arlecchino since its four-piece bonus can be triggered by the Bond of Life effect. This is a new mechanic that absorbs healing for the character affected by Bond of Life and provides different types of buffs. While many players expected that Bond of Life would be exclusive to Arlecchino, recent leaks have revealed that some upcomingGenshin Impactcharacters like Sigewinnewill also have this mechanic implemented in their kit.
Genshin Impact: Arlecchino’s Signature Weapon
As per usual,Genshin Impactwill introduce a five-star weaponthat has its stats and effects tuned to perfectly fit the playstyle of its new five-star character, Arlecchino. This weapon will be a must-have item for players who want to get Arlecchino’s damage output to the next level. Similar to her artifact set, the Crimson Moon’s Semblance polearm will provide a Bond of Life buff whenever Arlecchino uses her Charged Attack. This means that Arlecchino players should probably focus on using her CA occasionally to trigger this mechanic.
