Adventuring as an Aloy main in Genshin Impact offers a good lesson in ignoring meta

There are several 4.6 leaks and rumors circulating ahead of the update’s release later in April, a lot of which seem reliable enough to believe – even if with a grain of salt. Leaks have been a consistent problem for developer HoYoverse and have been happening in virtually every Version of the game. Now, with Version 4.6 building up to be a larger update that is not only officially confirmed to add one of the most anticipated characters, but also speculated to integrate a lot of new playable content, leaks have been abundant.

Genshin Impact Version 4.5 is Geo-heavy. Chiori makes her debut with Arataki Itto’s third rerun. Unlike Itto, Chiori is a Sub-DPS who focuses on dealing off-field Geo damage. She creates a Geo Construct with her Elemental Skill, which can resonate with other Geo Constructs to deal more damage.

Genshin Impact is giving Cyno his second Story Quest in Version 4.6, but it may also be introducing a future playable character as well. Over the course of its history, Genshin Impact has proven to be no stranger when it comes to teasing upcoming characters through in-game content. Xianyun's human form was teased in the Lantern Rite a year before her official debut, and Charlotte made her first appearance in Version 3.7 despite joining the roster in Version 4.2.

With beta testing for Version 4.6 in full swing, a reliable source in the Genshin Impact community has revealed which characters will have Story Quests in the new update. Story Quests have been a steady way for Genshin Impact to tell individual stories concerning a character, reveal important lore about the world of Teyvat, or even introduce a new weekly boss. Version 4.6 is set to be one of the biggest content updates in Genshin Impact's history, as it will also launch with multiple Story Quests on top of the new zone and Flagship Event.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks show two new bosses and Remuria enemies that will allegedly arrive in version 4.6. With the closed beta test for Genshin Impact's update 4.6 now underway, leaks about the upcoming content have arisen. It was revealed that the next version will expand Teyvat into new sub-regions, Bayda Harbor and Petrichor Island, to fill some empty spaces on the map. In addition, it will bring back a fan-favorite domain event, Vibro-Crystal Research, that requires players to dispatch enemies within a limited time to earn Primogems and other rewards.

Arlecchino’s entire animation reel in 4.6 has been leaked, showcasing what may be one of the coolest sets available so far. Aside from being the well-known Fatui Harbinger, also called The Knave, Arlecchino is one of the most anticipated playable characters in the game. She was leaked long before the release of Fontaine and, with the arrival of the Nation of Hydro, made her debut as an NPC. Now, Arlecchino’s release in 4.6 has been officially confirmed by developer HoYoverse, though details about how she operates are still scarce.

Genshin Impact is in beta testing for Version 4.6, and as a result, players can finally have their first glimpse into Arlecchino's idle and combat animations. While Version 4.5 has launched for Genshin Impact, the community is already anxiously awaiting the next patch. The reason for this is twofold: Version 4.6 will see the debut of Arlecchino, the third Fatui Harbinger to join the playable cast, and it will also take players to Remuria in the Sea of Yore.

Genshin Impact could be adding mounts in the near future, as a recent leak from a reliable source hints that Natlan's overworld will make use of mounts as its primary exploration system. Ever since Inazuma, Genshin Impact has sought to add more ways to interact with the world. From the Waverider to the Four-Leaf Sigil, exploration is far more versatile than what it used to be at launch. Gliding is no longer the sole way to cross major distances, and the addition of underwater exploration in Fontaine has further diversified the experience.

A revolutionary new gameplay system for Natlan in has allegedly leaked, hinting at not only a new way to explore the game but also the sheer size of the upcoming region of Teyvat. Natlan is the Land of Pyro and the sixth major nation to be added to the live-service title by HoYoverse, following the release of Fontaine last year. Some details about Natlan’s release in are heavily rumored, while others have been leaked as the content is reportedly already undergoing tests.

A new Artifact set mentioned in 4.6 leaks may significantly change the way players use Dendro in battle, and can even affect the current meta team comps in the game at the moment. While the title is still in the middle of Version 4.4, moving toward Version 4.5, there have already been a few leaks and rumors regarding the contents of Version 4.6.
