Genshin Impact Leaks Point to Arlecchino Changes
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed more details about a new set of Arlecchino buffs in the game's beta stage. Arlecchino has been one of the most anticipated characters since her official introduction in the famous «A Winter Night's Lazzo» trailer, which also revealed the appearances of all the remaining Fatui Harbingers.
