Genshin Impact 4.6 will release two new Artifact sets catering to the kits and mechanics of newly released characters. These Artifacts will arrive alongside the likes of Arlecchino in the same update, with one of them being her signature option. HoYoverse is known for frequently releasing Artifacts with the changing meta, as each location has at least four new sets based on a character's kit.
The upcoming Artifacts sets are designed for Arlecchino and some future characters.
This article will share details of the new Artifact sets scheduled for 4.6, alongside a few crumbs on future characters' roles and kits.
Disclaimer: This article is based on leaks by renowned leakers such as Litian, TL NightKoneko, Uncle A, HxG, FouL, and PTL. Readers should take everything mentioned here with a grain of salt.
New Artifact sets leaked for Genshin Impact 4.6
HoYoverse has officially revealed the new Artifact sets that will be introduced in the upcoming 4.6 update. It seems that the overall set bonuses are focused on the Burning reaction and the Bond of Life status effect.
Moreover, the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy set appears to be tailor-made for Arlecchino's kit.
Here are the effects of each Artifact set coming in Genshin Impact 4.6:
Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy:
- 2-piece effect: ATK +18%
- 4-piece effect: When the value of a Bond of Life increases or decreases, this character deals 18% increased DMG for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
Unfinished Reverie:
- 2-piece effect: ATK +18%
- 4-piece effect: After leaving combat for 3s, DMG dealt increased by 50%. In combat, if no Burning opponents are nearby for more than 6s, this DMG Bonus will decrease by 10% per second until it reaches 0%. When a Burning opponent exists, it will increase by 10% instead until it reaches 50%. This effect still triggers if the equipping character is off-field.
Genshin Impact 4.6 is expected to be released on April 24, 2024, so readers can expect these Artifacts to come out on this date as well.
