Genshin Impact 5.4 Leak: Arlecchino's New Swap Animation and Bond of Life Indicator
A recent leak reveals a quality-of-life improvement for Arlecchino in Genshin Impact Version 5.4: a revamped swap animation. The leak also hints at a visual indicator appearing above Arlecchino's character model after swapping, likely displaying her Bond of Life (BoL) levels.
Arlecchino, a popular five-star Pyro DPS character introduced in the Fontaine arc, possesses a complex kit. This new indicator should significantly improve her usability, especially in hectic battles requiring simultaneous management of multiple targets and status effects. The BoL mechanic, unique to some Fontaine characters, functions as a reverse shield, decreasing the BoL bar instead of increasing HP upon healing.
This isn't Arlecchino's first adjustment; her intricate design has led to several improvements since her release, a rarity for Genshin Impact characters. The timing of this update is noteworthy, coinciding with her upcoming appearance on a limited-time banner in Version 5.3 (around January 22nd), alongside Clorinde, the Champion Duelist. While not boosting her damage directly, this QoL change will undoubtedly enhance the player experience with this fan-favorite character.
