In anticipation of Arlecchino’s debut in Genshin Impact next week on 24 April, Hoyoverse released a rather long animated short for her. The 7-minute video explores her background and (somewhat) explains how she came to be called “Father” by the children of the House of the Hearth.

To recap, Arlecchino is a 5-star Pyro character wielding a polearm, and she has a unique “Bond of Life” mechanic that increases her damage at the cost of preventing her from being healed. Her Elemental Burst is the only way for Arlecchino to receive healing effects, curiously enough.

Arlecchino’s event wish will be available alongside Lyney’s rerun once the Version 4.6 update is live, followed by Wanderer’s and Baizhu’s banners in the second half. Aside from that, Arlecchino will also get her own story quest (Ignis Purgatorius) in Version 4.6 of Genshin Impact, which should expand upon the animated short.

Genshin Impact 4.6 will be available next week on 24 April. To recap, Arlecchino’s and Lyney’s event wishes will be offered first once the update drops, followed by Wanderer’s and Baizhu’s rerun banners at a later date.
