Element & Weapon
Leaks point towards Arlecchino wielding the power of Pyro. This fiery element aligns with her affiliation with the Fatui, known for their manipulation of elemental energies. As for her weapon of choice, she’s rumored to be a skilled user of the Polearm, allowing her to excel in mid-range combat.
Abilities & Gameplay
This highly anticipated character is a 5-Star Pyro user who wields a polearm. Leaks suggest she excels in the role of a Pyro DPS, particularly in compositions that don’t rely on healers. This is because Arlecchino possesses a unique self-healing mechanic tied to her kit. Here’s a breakdown of her leaked abilities:
- Element: Pyro
- Rarity: 5-Star
- Weapon: Polearm
Passive Talents
- Cinders Alone Shall Nourish: Grants Arlecchino a 40% Pyro damage bonus while in combat. Additionally, her healing is restricted to her Elemental Burst, Balemoon Rising.
- Agony Alone May Be Repaid: Blood-Debt Directives function as follows:
- Defeating an enemy marked with a Directive grants Arlecchino a Life Bond, restoring 70% of her max HP.
- After five seconds, Directives transform into Blood-Debt Dues. Absorbing these grants a Life Bond worth 70% of her max HP.
- Life Bonds acquired through these methods have a cap, not exceeding the limit set by her Elemental Skill, All is Ash.
- Strength Alone Can Defend: Boosts Arlecchino’s Elemental and Physical Resistance by 1% for every 100 Attack exceeding 1000, up to a maximum of 20% bonus Resistance for each type.
Normal Attack: Invitation to a Beheading
This attack consists of up to six consecutive strikes. Her plunging attack functions similarly to most characters. However, holding the attack button consumes stamina and unleashes a charged dash towards an enemy, followed by a single cleave. Holding the button further allows Arlecchino to maintain a high-speed movement state for up to three seconds.
When Arlecchino’s Bond of Life (a unique HP-based resource) reaches 20% or higher, she enters the Masque of the Red Death state. In this empowered form, her normal, charged, and plunging attacks transform into fiery assaults, dealing devastating Pyro damage. However, this fiery transformation consumes a portion of her Bond of Life with each hit.
Elemental Skill: All is Ash
Arlecchino summons Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro damage to nearby enemies and performing a dashing cleave against a single target, dealing additional Pyro damage in an area. Enemies hit by this attack receive the Blood-Debt Directive status, which is as follows:
- Lasts 30 seconds and deals periodic Pyro damage over time.
- Absorbed by Arlecchino through charged attacks or her Elemental Burst (Balemoon Rising).
- Each absorbed Directive grants her Bond of Life, up to a maximum based on a duration window.
- Using the Elemental Skill again resets the duration and Bond of Life gain limit.
Elemental Burst: Balemoon Rising
Arlecchino unleashes the power of Balemoon Bloodfire, dealing Pyro damage in an area, clearing the cooldown of All is Ash, and healing herself based on her Bond of Life and attack stat.
New World Boss: Golem Captain
Based on leaks from HomDGCat and Team Mew, the Golem Captain appears as a colossal centaur clad in imposing mecha armor. Towering over Arlecchino by a factor of three, this metallic monstrosity boasts a fearsome arsenal. Brace yourselves for:
- Weapon Charging: The boss charges its weapon, presumably unleashing a devastating attack.
- Burning Blade Toss: It throws giant, flaming blades at players, demanding swift dodging skills.
- Ground Burn: The boss creates a scorching structure on the ground, inflicting damage within a circular area.
The Golem Captain’s most noteworthy feature might be its ability to generate a potent Geo shield. This shield is rumored to increase the boss’s resistance by a staggering 100%. Leaker HomDGCat estimates this shield to be considerably stronger (around 30%) than the Geo Hypostasis’ pillars.
New Artifact Sets
Two new artifact sets are rumored to arrive in version 4.6. One set is believed to be specifically tailored for the upcoming character, Arlecchino, while the other focuses on Elemental Mastery (EM). Here’s a possible breakdown of the EM set:
- 2-piece Set: Potential EM increase of 80, similar to existing sets.
- 4-piece Set:
- Triggering the Burning reaction boosts EM for the entire team.
- Hitting an enemy affected by Burning further increases your own EM.
- This effect can be activated even when the character is off-field.
Map Expansion
First up, we have exciting additions to the main map. Leaks suggest the arrival of Bayda Harbor, a new port nestled north of Sumeru’s Vanarana region. This bustling harbor could offer new quests, shops, and perhaps even a friendly face or two. But before venturing onward, be sure to explore Petrichor Island, a seemingly solitary island rumored to be much more than meets the eye.

While Petrichor may appear insignificant at first glance, leaks hint at a hidden connection to two intriguing locations. Dive into a mysterious pool on the island, and you might just find yourself exploring the sunken depths of The Faded Castle. This multi-level structure promises a unique underwater adventure, with areas like the “Faded Ancient Castle – Exhibition Hall” potentially revealing forgotten secrets.
The leaks also showcase new desert-themed areas within the Sumeru region. These areas boast unique architecture reminiscent of ancient Egyptian temples, including intricate sculptures and shrines that likely tie into the Sumeru storyline. The rumors hint at exciting content within the underground section of Sumeru as well.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Leaks also point towards the reveal of the much-anticipated region of Remuria, also referred to as the “Sea of Yore.” Here, players can delve into an ancient city filled with Hydroculus to collect and secrets to uncover. Unlike other explorable areas, Remuria is rumored to exist on a separate map, similar to the Chasm Underground, offering a condensed yet potentially multi-layered experience.

Events
Thanks to reliable leaker Hexenzirkel, details about Version 4.6’s major events have surfaced. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
- Arataki Life Rock Rainbow Grand Tour (Flagship Event): This event, seemingly centered around our favorite beetle-loving oni, Arataki Itto, is poised to be the main attraction of Version 4.6. Following tradition, Flagship Events often reward players with a free 4-Star character. Consider saving your Primogems for other banners unless you’re aiming for a specific character on the Chronicled Banner.
- Vibro-Crystal Applied Research: This event, making its third appearance, will challenge players to clear time-limited domains filled with enemies.
- Windtrace: The Scheme of a Certain Strategy
- Chronicles of the Dragon of Unique Form in Search of Battle
Genshin Impact 4.7 Leaks
Banners
Clorinde & Sigewinne
While their precise arrival date remains a mystery, rumors point towards a grand entrance in Genshin Impact 4.7. Depending on the patch’s phase, these dynamic duo could grace Teyvat as early as June 5th, 2024, or as late as June 26th, 2024.
Clorinde and Sigewinne aren’t just powerful individually; leaks suggest they might be the ultimate Electro-Charged duo. Clorinde, the 5-star Electro swordswoman, promises to redefine team strategies with her unique approach. Meanwhile, Sigewinne, a 4-star Hydro archer, will specialize in amplifying the Electro-Charged reaction, showering enemies with potent electrical storms.
Clorinde’s Kit
Clorinde promises to inject a new dimension into team strategies. Leaks suggest she’ll be more than just a damage dealer, potentially offering:
- Talent 1: An enhanced Elemental Skill, potentially adding another layer of attack, similar to Childe’s Riptide mechanic.
- Talent 2: A supportive side, granting energy recharge to allies when their HP falls.
- Talent 3: A damage buff for both Overload and Electro-Charged reactions within the team, turning every spark into a destructive inferno.
These leaked details hint at Clorinde’s potential as an “energy support DPS,” a role that could revolutionize team compositions. Imagine unleashing devastating Electro-Charged combos while simultaneously recharging your team’s energy for even more explosive attacks.

New outfits for Kirara, Nilou, and Wanderer are on the horizon, with at least one being a prestigious 5-star rarity. With the release date estimated around July 16th or 17th, 2024, the wait won’t be too long.
Another leak, brought to us by @Maltose371027, throws fuel on the fashion fire. They claim HoYoverse will unveil three exquisite skins in Version 4.8, slated for July 17, 2023. Two are said to adorn the lovely ladies of Teyvat, while the third one will grace a dashing male character. Sadly, the leaker keeps the names under lock and key, leaving us to speculate and dream.

Chiori’s Abilities
The whispers surrounding Chiori’s kit are music to the ears of support-hungry Travelers. Leaked details from PTL and Mr. White suggest she’ll excel as an off-field support, perfectly complementing Albedo’s battlefield dominance. Prepare to witness her elemental skill unleash instant Geo damage, while her burst bathes the entire party in a Crystallize-amplifying aura. As a Geo character, mastering elemental reactions will be crucial to unlocking Chiori’s full potential.
Elemental Skill
Chiori’s Elemental Skill introduces a unique scissor-summoning mechanic that cuts through enemies and groups them together. This Geo damage-dealing skill comes with both Press and Hold variations, offering players versatility in combat. The Press version generates energy particles, while the Hold version may expand the area of effect, providing crowd control capabilities.
Elemental Burst
Continuing the scissor motif, Chiori’s Elemental Burst summons three small scissors that unleash area-of-effect (AoE) damage to nearby enemies. The climax of the burst involves a mysterious floating scissor, leaving players intrigued about its potential effects. The leaked animations suggest a visually appealing burst that aligns with Chiori’s distinctive combat style.
Chiori’s Story
Chiori is a character whose existence was first hinted at in Kirara’s voice lines in Genshin Impact Version 3.7. Originating from Inazuma, Chiori is currently known to run a clothing shop named “Chioriya Boutique” in Fontaine. Despite the community’s curiosity about her, little is known about Chiori’s background or her personal story, as concrete details remain scarce at this time.
Chiori’s Elemental Affiliation
One of the most intriguing aspects of Chiori is her elemental affiliation. According to recent leaks shared on platforms like Reddit, Chiori is expected to be a 5-star Geo character. If this information holds true, she would be only the second character with a Geo vision introduced in Fontaine, the first being Navia.
Cinnabar Spindle’s Return
The leaks also shine a light on Albedo’s best-in-slot weapon, the Cinnabar Spindle. This exclusive 4-Star Sword, previously obtainable through a limited event, is currently inaccessible to newer players. While HoYoverse isn’t obligated to rerun event weapon rewards, the possibility of introducing viable alternatives in Version 4.5 could incentivize pulls for Albedo and further entice the community.
Story and Expansion Details
Version 4.5 is characterized by its lighter narrative content, with no substantial story additions or expansions on the horizon. However, players can look forward to a Story Quest for Chiori, marking their playable debut in the game.
Quality-of-Life Updates
Version 4.5 is set to introduce a plethora of quality-of-life (QoL) improvements to enhance the gameplay experience. Notable updates include the ability to pet cats in the Teapot realm, improved map tracking functionality, and a new in-game training guide feature to optimize character builds. Additionally, a new graphical setting labeled “Highest” will be introduced, alongside enhancements such as displaying required talent materials in the talent detail menu.
But perhaps the most intriguing leaks surrounding version 4.5 revolve around the introduction of exciting new side activities that promise to add depth and variety to the gameplay experience. One such activity appears to be potion crafting. Players will reportedly gather three mints to craft potions that can provide various benefits when consumed.
![Genshin Impact 4.5 banners](https://www.girlstalkinsmack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Genshin-Impact-4.5-leaks.webp)
