Genshin Impact officially reveals the item descriptions for two new artifact sets and a five-star polearm, Arlecchino’s signature weapon.
Highlights
- New artifact sets and weapons in Genshin Impact Version 4.6 will impact character performance on the field.
- Arlecchino’s signature weapon, Crimson Moon’s Semblance, will enhance her damage output with a unique buff mechanic.
- Upcoming artifact sets like Unfinished Reverie and Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy will offer new strategies for players to explore.
Genshin Impact has 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-star Genshin Impact character has a signature weapon that appears alongside them on the game’s limited weapon banner.
Genshin Impact Creator miHoYo Reaches Incredible Milestone
A recent report indicates that the developer of Genshin Impact, miHoYo, has managed to reach an impressive valuation milestone.
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 in Genshin Impact can 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 in Genshin Impact since it’s tied to the Burning elemental reaction. Many fans have already started speculating that it will be tied to one of the upcoming 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 upcoming Genshin Impact characters like Sigewinne will also have this mechanic implemented in their kit.
Genshin Impact: Arlecchino’s Signature Weapon
As per usual, Genshin Impact will introduce a five-star weapon that 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.
