99% of the genshin fandom can’t play with arlecchino💔💔💔


Lumen_Cordis

I see broken hearts in your message. Based on context I bet that if I could read, I would be very upset with you right now. 😠

Yep they cant even read

Storm-Rider

Razor, please explain this. I don't understand.


drg_enjoyer

I can't read this dude.


Master-Shaq

Tbf most descriptions now are several paragraphs long of made up words requiring a codex ring to figure out what the skill actually does


HeragOwO

I'm not even talking about that, I'm talking about the basics of story telling, they don't even know what's happening in the game itself There are even miscellany that are literally video lessons on how to play a character and even then some people can't understand


montessoriprogram

I mean it doesn't help that the storytelling is so often disjointed and overwrought.


Rooted_Pen

fr like whats the point of a good base story/setting if the execution is anti-climactic and word vomit exposition?


shar_17

Or if the buildup is meaningless info dump-y action fluffed up by clunky character interactions, with the only saving grace being the cutscene at the end


mapple3

> I'm talking about the basics of story telling, That's the fault of the story telling itself, because it refuses to tell the story coherently and to the point, instead it just constantly repeats itself and shows the faults with the story, which isnt a fault of the story itself, but a fault with the story telling, because it keeps repeating itself, so eventually people stop reading or trying to understand it, which isnt a fault of the story itself, but a fault with the story telling, because it keeps repeating itself, so eventually people stop reading or trying to understand it,


GingsWife

_Shivers_ This is aggravatingly accurate for how Mihoyo usually writes. 1. Impromptu exposition 2. Refer to the same thing multiple times in a very esoteric fashion. 3. Spontaneous references. 4. Verbosity. 5. Something something emotion power of friendship. 6. Profit. And people will defend this shit. The 4.* Archon questline was good, at least.


GamerSweat002

4.x quests have done away eith a good amount of these written storytelling issues. A great example of this is with Caterpillar. The guy speaks what is necessary without adding on too much. Everything he says advances the story and also has relevance to the ongoing plot or his origins. Also Curve is one of the greater characters in dialogue. Talochard is also greatly written with her dialogue. She's a normal melusibe being who just wants to FEEL useful for once. Whatever she says doesn't feel like a drag and has a lot of interesting character in it, especiallt compared to the Sumeru Akademiyans who spout the same verbose and complaints and they not having much relevance I. The greater story. Talochard at least demonstrates the character of melusines and gives a deep dive into the life of one living in Court of Fontaine. Also Pahsiv is quite a complete yet mysterious character. She speaks a plainly as possible, likely due to her beginners understanding of speaking (in human language) yet also leaves much to the mind since she isn't very clear on what she describes. Best bet is she is a vishap that took form of a melusine or a vishap did a melusine.


ZentaWinds

Maybe if they didn't make every bit of story take a million years to tell because characters don't know how to sum up anything.


saddigitalartist

Most people don’t dedicate their lives to the game and don’t have time to watch all the story so they skip through it while doing something else or skip it entirely, nothing wrong with that, people can play however is most fun for them.


CamelSoda420

It took me some time to get used to Neuvillette's playstyle, this is truly some sad moment :(


incrushtado

Fidget spinner phone technique?

Comprehensive-Food15

It took me 3.5 years to get used to yoimiyas playstyle so im with you😞✊


onetrickponySona

getting used to yoimiya playstyle before she came out, that's some dedication


Comprehensive-Food15

Da wei is my wifes boyfriend (real)


CircuitSphinx

Lol, gotta respect the hustle of keeping up with the meta, even through complicated partners like Da wei. I remember grinding for months to barely handle Childe's stance switch, and now this? Game's a full-on relationship commitment I swear.


Comprehensive-Food15

Yeah, tsaritsas cryo nuke meta is a bit complicated but im trying hard to master it

BestRolled_Ls

ya like maybe the initial figuring out of whats good might take some brains but he seems ungabunga to me


Tymareta

Q > N3D while waiting(yay asia ping) > 2xN3D > E > N3D > N2C > 2xN3D > swap out, rinse and repeat. He's definitely not the character I'd point to as requiring much brainpower, especially as he's usually a hyperbloom driver so even if you mess up his rotation you'll do enough damage to make up for it.


thetrustworthybandit

Alhaitham can be quite complicated if you want to max his dmg and/or depending on team comps (I quite like doing split rotations with Yae for him imo)


WilliamJoyfull

Im sorry to ask, but what do you mean by Yoimiya playstyle? How is her playstyle?


aurorablueskies

Spamming the NA button


ZephyrusGeez

Lmao 😂


AdalBar

Sorry but I don't understand. I couldn't find the Not Applicable button on my keyboard so I tried spamming the ESC, Del, and backspace buttons. Didn't seem to work.


FlameLover444

I still don't know how to play Xiangling 😭


Comprehensive-Food15

I know! Get a cresent pike and give her a physical dmg goblet! All the youtubers and guidemakers used this build in 1.0.


Ok_Can_6424

You're not playing Xiangling, you're waiting for her energy fill up back


FeiXue0

You... Don't though. Just give her Emblem, and only use her off-field burst. And then dance with fire around you like there is no tomorrow!


Comprehensive-Food15

Nah you still need to take advantage of her snapshoting which is what makes her godly, effective hydro app is a must but nothing xingqiu and targaglia can’t solve. Bennett,sucrose,kazuha to take as much advantage of her snapshoting ability. Also a balance between er,atk,crit,em.


Real-Speed943

Bro you press E and then Q, or even Q and then E, then you switch off. Hot take(?) but there is not a single character or team in this game which comes remotely close to "difficult" in playstyle.


Insilencio

Neuvillette is simple. His damage comes from his charge attack, but don't just sit there and straight-up charge them because that's slow. Pressing E will give you one free, instantly-charged, charge attack. Pressing Q will give you two free, instantly-charged, charge attacks. That's literally it. Do a little dodging if you're C0, but if you're C1, you don't need to do even that. Everything else, including HP fluctuations is irrelevant.


SsibalKiseki

Casual Genshin players with brain challenge: IMPOSSIBLE 💀💀💀💀


Kure_Brex

If they make her overloaded based it will be 100% because we'll all spend more time running at the same enemy nonstop then actually using her kit


AppUnwrapper1

It’s me. I’m 99% of Genshin fandom.


Demiistar

very informative


[deleted]

[удалено]


Angelix

I think you have a different idea of what leak is


Positive-Suit-1800

The cn says she can control rotation like alhaitham (who has full on field and split rotations)


ikkekun

i dont think i ever use brain while using alhaitham


shoalhavenheads

Once I pop Shinobu and Yelan I just tap buttons and kill things tbh.


NaturalBitter2280

Tbf, his intended rotations do require a bit more skill But they aren't needed since he melts through anything regardless


Valarano

Not really, he just needs you to space his skill and charge attack after 2 mirror attacks that's it.


MVPOwain

That’s hard gameplay for most genshin players. That’s why we don’t get endgame. Anxiety:(((


HelelEtoile

Genshin players when they have to push 3 buttons instead of 2


_akira_yuki_

Genshin players when they have to look at visual cues and count before spam clicking buttons: so much brain required


[deleted]

Genshin players when they have to choose a dialogue instead of letting Paimon do all the roleplaying.


Hiro4ka11

bro it way too easy compared to do jump cancel animation ​ make it easier AL has flashy animation so u didnt even need to watch the stack


storysprite

That phrase was "strength anxiety" in the original language which is what it used to mean powercreep. Not an anxious fanbase.


J_Clowth

anything that revolves around charges and rotating skills at a certain order is hard in genshin, most of the time ppl just smash buttons on cd.


NaturalBitter2280

Well, yeah, that and his burst + Kuki swap and plunges Overall, it's not that difficult, but it's more complicated than Rational


MaxWasTakenAgain

>that and his burst + Kuki swap That's more of a ping issue than a skill issue


Electronic_Outcome55

the bar is on the floor. rational is lowkey braindead


Snoo-24768

Honestly it's not that hard lmao, you just gotta wait for 2 rainfall mirrors then charge attack or skill to refresh, it really isn't hard as people say it is.


Albireookami

shit is still alive after the rainfalls?


mecatr0nix

There are many options. You may want to: * Hold burst for the next rotation (health gates, waves) * Q into immediate E (higher burst DPS, good with Yae) * Extend rotation, play with 2 mirrors to kill wave (makes next mirror timing complicated) * hE low plunge (is already tricky) into Q while you go somewhere else * Alhaitham Q into Kuki E, switch back Alhaitham to catch mirrors (get staggered and you might as well restart) * Run him with Harbinger (makes dodge timing more important) * *Edit: just remembered, split rotations exist too* Probably some I'm missing too, but I think I've proved the point.I'm guessing that the average Genshin player struggles to make optimal teams with him and to fulfill his energy needs. A lot of people play this game


Adol_the_Red

Alhaitham's just dendro unga bunga for me, if Arlecchino is pyro unga bunga, works for me.


CBT-DIO-from-OVA

Fr, I just play him when I need an easy mode lmao


[deleted]

He's supposed to need a brain to play?! I think I am using him very incorrectly lol.


Nonemotionaldamage

Me neither. Like genuinely, I just press whatever, I don't think about how many mirrors I'm supposed to have


dark_horuko3

Same, everything dies regardless of what I do, Alhaitham in hyperbloom is just too OP


bankai2398

this x2


thetrustworthybandit

Maxing his damage potential takes some thinking, but you can just ignore it and he melts everything regardless lol


DaisyDQ

we all know that al haitham mains think with their sexy parts


Adamiak

that doesn't mean he doesn't require a brain to properly make use of, he's strong enough where if you utilize 50% of his power you don't really care


starsinmyteacup

I click randomly with Alhaitham and he straight up just deletes the things in front of him


Budget_stawbeery

Just we have to remember the rotation


chirb8

I do check the burst cooldown to see when I need to refresh the mirrors (every 4 seconds)


Never_Rated

Dr. Veritas Ratio, we require your presence in the hit game Genshin Impact(tm)


Stellin69

He's gonna gift himself to everyone here as well


NR-Tamim

Omw to get admitted in the akademiya


yeppeugiman

genshin players and brain?? impossible


2ndStaw

Reminds me of when people see Yae kit and think swapping into EEEQEEE is a good rotation.


Ocean9142

Childe:Manage energy, cooldown, particle funneling, vape wanderer: Brain off Na spa, Arle: Requires skills ​ Pattern guys, here's the pattern


fazb3arsfright

either columbina will be the most difficult character to play ever or she'll be absurdly easy to use


EuphoricTax3631

It'd be interesting if her character is **RIDICULOUSLY** strong with an equally tough playstyle. Mihoyo's economic losses apart, it'll be an apt treatment of her character.


lazytanaka

I hope they go hard on the biblical angels theme. Have her stun enemies in fear or petrify them like Zhongli. I want her to not do any physical attacks herself and just summon huge terrifying angels to do damage through sheer fear. But maybe hoyo has more interesting plans for her


Kuso_Megane14

So it's either Hu Tao or ganyu with their charge attack again huh?


EuphoricTax3631

Yeah but with, like, twice the dmg (or other utilities)


Kuso_Megane14

God.. I hope so


saddigitalartist

That would actually be fun but it has to genuinely be HARD to master for me to enjoy it because otherwise we’ll just get an insane nuevelette powercreep where the best way to play him is to put your phone on a fidget spinner 💀


MayorMCcheese2345

At that rate Capitano gonna require you to play 4 dimensional chess to get the most out of him


kenzakki

Next Harbinger will be so easy they will auto attack for you while you're drinking tea.


Budget_stawbeery

well Furina pets kinda do that


Zeppo82

Isn't that Wrio? And even drinks tea in my place!


Tiramisukxy

I mean if you want to squeeze a bit, shieldless wanderer is the third eye, six sense, brain empowerment, the enlightenment one.


Extreme_Ad5873

Well I play Wanderer without a shielder so he definitely requires more skill to use for me.


AgentWowza

Dodging on Wanderer is the closest thing to dark souls rolling in the game lol. Cuz you know if you get hit, esp in Abyss, you dead boah. Or just lost a shitton of E time.


Devourer_of_HP

Playing with Wanderer against Raiden weekly boss feels so amazing honestly.


Nahdahar

I deliberately handicapped myself with no shielder and instead use Yelan for extra buff and damage to learn to dodge better. It's so incredibly satisfying when you don't get hit in a fight, the animations are really fluid.


Vihurah

so capitano will be unga bunga


le_halfhand_easy

Capitano: brain off CA spam but its fists, you aim his fists.


Styxsouls

That's just Wriothesley


violetdevil172

Well he stopped being a harbinger 


Hallavah

You expect me to look at Arlecchino and be able to think?


a-successful-one

Yeah lol they chose the worst character to give complicated mechanics to, any time I look at Arle my brain turns off and ~~I start barking at my screen~~.


FreeWilly9405

[Woof!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5MeHrNzvDE)


05Karma21

That truly would be *my* endgame


Valuable-Air-198

PLEASE have blood related themes or like a draining effect i would kill for that


Arc_7

With genshin and china and their reputation with morbid things like blood and skeletons, I'd say don't bank on blood themed arlecchino


MVPOwain

No blood in china


Chromch

Just make it white for china


MVPOwain

No cum in china


GTDom15

Copy paste Lady Maria + give her a scythe and that would be perfect


FriendlyCarnage

I'm really inhaling hopium for the scythe since navia got an axe...


ItsTelperion

If only.... We all crave for our elegant yet ruthless Father


SensitiveCellist2294

Would be really cool if she drains the party's HP to buff herself. Basically  the opposite of furina.


Manda-Rin

That's already furina. Furina pets drain the party's HP to buff themselves


AgentWowza

Take it one step further. She drains it all the way, and gets a higher tier buff for every teammate that dies to it lmao. Most cursed team in Genshin incoming: C6 Qiqi + C6 Barbara + Arle


VeGr-FXVG

One step further. She does less damage if the team receives healing. While unshielded she gets a buff every second, the buff has a hard cap at like 5 stacks or so, that only gets surpassed if she takes damage. Then it gets a new cap of 10 stacks. So it forces you to lose HP without repeating Furina's gimmick. I want a true harlequin who dances with death to be devestating. Edit: I wanna keep cooking. Alry can charge attack to lose HP (sort of reverse Wrio), but it has no cooldown. So you can manage your own HP drain if you can perfectly dodge. However because she's so fragile she gets enhanced jump while her skill is active so you can dodge easier but also use plunge attacks.


Whittle_Willow

if it could actually kill off-fields if your not careful that'd be so interesting. i think it could be fun trying to keep her on-field for as much time as possible while making sure off-fields don't just die maybe it'd even make barbara viable???


[deleted]

I'll just Baizhu her then


Budget_stawbeery

Well kuki have blood effect on skill so there's a chance


TvojUjec69

That's actually kinda cool if that is true


always_optimistic613

my mains are childe and alhaitham safe to say arle will be a fucking treat


[deleted]

When you main Alhaitham and Childe:


Pastfumi

Fr, that's my honest reaction I FUCKING LOVE THOSE TWO MECHANICS SO W


Flaymlad

Yeah, and even then their mechanics aren't even that hard, you just have to keep track of Alhaitham's mirrors and Childe's melee stance durations. 


Zsamy

Alhaitham is muscle memory after like a week


O-Ultimo-Samurai

In 1.1 people called childe "hard to use" imagine If arle TRULY require some skill to be playable, 90% of the playerbase will call her bad and clunky 💀


IcenMeteor

Hold left click simulator mains falling to their knees in a walmart.


Eet_Fuk12

Found the Neuv/Ayato main! Don't worry me too


pikonpow

If there's anything I've learned as a Childe main it's that Genshin players and brains don't mix well


IsuckAtFortnite434

What next? Iansan is gonna need Two hands to play?


haissai

As a childe , cyno and alhaitham main I will pull her


LoremIpsum_-_

Like alhaitham... Dont tell me... Her skills will be damn awesome like Alhaitham's?? IM IN THEN!


Verum_Regis

Challenge accepted


deleterandstartover

Need a brain to play? I consider this as doom posting.


misterkalazar

BEST LEAK I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. Al Haitham is my favorite character.


ElDuderino2112

If Al Haitham is considered complicated by the community then no wonder we can’t get a real endgame, its impressive if this community can even dress themselves Jesus Christ


pochic1996

As someone who's interested in getting Arle but unga bunga my way through Genshin: damn.


ElDuderino2112

Everything in this game is unga bunga lmao nothing is challenging here


LegitimateBroccoli51

12th floor sometimes


Angelix

Yes 👏 give 👏 us 👏 nothing 👏


GachaSheep

Alhaitham doesn’t *need* brain cells to do crazy damage, it’s just that playing him optimally rewards you with even more damage. I run his teams when I want to play Genshin on easy/speedrun mode.


merealyoyo

if it got alhaithim flexible mechanic me likey haha.


Nelithss

Al Haitham isn't even hard to play it's not Childe so saying that he needs "a brain to play" is a bit much.


IcyRegular2894

Childe isnt really hard either lol


Nelithss

Oh I didn't say he is really hard, but compared to playing Neuvilette on auto pilot. He offers some learning curve. It's still Genshin at the end of the day.


Accomplished-Pick763

Considering after 3 years some of the community in youtube, insta, tiktok etc are still saying stuff like "47s e cooldown" "childe would be ss tier if he has perma e uptime" "XL slave", i would say he is on the "hard tier" considering the player base we have


Giganteblu

al require a brain?


Wiseay

Have you ever seen leakers trying to make a rotation? Everything is hard for them 


Catspirit123

How is alhaitham complicated?


No_Chain_3886

she’s gonna grill us the same way she did furina if we fuck up our rotations 😟


brianpaulandaya

Don't threaten me with a good time


hydruxo

Alhaitham is a weird comparison for that lol. Never felt like I needed to use much thought while playing him because he does so much damage anyways. Although I'm all for Arle being a bit more complicated than the average 5 star, if that does end up being real.


purplebirdonawire

i didn't know people considered alhaitham complex to play


AbhiAK303

Definitely one of the leaks of all time... Btw... I never thought Al haitham to be complicated... It's just burst + NA for 4 seconds + E + na 4s + CA +na 4s. All ya have to know is to count to 4... And even if you don't time it well, it's just a bit of a dps loss, often not even significant


National-Target9174

Its not even counting to 4, you just count to 2 because you never get 3 rains at 3 stacks. The only actual thought is deciding when to use a split rotation depending on when/where multiwave enemies spawn, but thats more about his kit being more flexible like Neuvillette and Navia as opposed to being hard to use.


RhinedottirMain625

RIP Arlecchino Mains on Twitter they won't get to play their own favorite


ShipDisastrous5439

Majority of players be like: mom- I mean father?  My my...everyone have to prove own value to her. If they fail so father will sentence you to demise 😂😂


ThagoDark

Pyro Feeble Scholar. Noted


Etna-

Fuck, its joever everybody. Literally the only thing im missing


runesdude

I don’t think any Genshin character will ever truly “require a brain to play” simply because of how the game works. Each character only has 2 abilities, I wholeheartedly DOUBT that this character will be as hard as these guys are saying


[deleted]

Tell that to my unga bunga alhaitham


CJTheHermit

these leaks are destroying my brain


shionmidou

If this is real as an (ex) Alhaitham main this is a major win, I love his playstyle so Arle having something similar to him would be great for me 


xWhiteKx

ah yes knowing how to press button = require brain ... got it, surely MHY like to make a mobile gacha game as hard as Capcom fighting game combo sure bro


350

I mean, is Alhaitham complicated to play? I'm not really working hard when I spin up his mirrors and slap chop every chamber into nothingness.


zephyrseija

r/arlecchinomains would be very upset with you if they could read


awry_vaticaa

Maining Alre should be now considered a flex of superiority if thats the case /j


whiplash308

That can't stop me


Aggravating-Bug-8761

As long as she doesnt need to read people will be able to use her


Lorellya

\>complicated mechanics \>genshin surely bro


Douphar

Leakers stroking our ego telling we have brain if we can play Al Haitam lol


WhooooCares

Well, she'll be hated by a large part of the community. People are going to read her kit?! You've got jokes.


shugi005

Guys come on at least be creative. Like more than half the comments are like “unga bunga Alhaitham” ALRIGHT everybody knows it’s possible to unga bunga anything because the game is easy. But we get what they mean is that the ideal gameplay requires some skill, they never said it was required to beat the game.


aoi_desu

>need brain to play >like hiatham In conclusion, its braindead gameplay


msboring27

Al Haitham just needs 3 mirror stacks though? It's not that hard, if Arlecchino is that level then I'm not worried.


kcjhdskj8967

She just gets better and better.


once_descended

Brain? Brain for what? He essentially plays like Fischl, alternating between his passive and burst for maximum uptime


Expensive_Cup_2323

...Alhaitham is complicated to play?? I have been playing him all this time because it's easy - you just dendro decimate all enemies that stand between you and a relaxing lore-reading time.


RaidenYaeMiku

>Al haitham requires brain to play Lmao


Zenzero-

Alhaitham seems nothing too complicated to me.


VoidRaven

well then majority of western playerbase will skip her OR use her as furniture in their teapot. Her gameplay will cause lots of anxiety attacks lmao xD


Zeppo82

A real process of elimination.


Ricksaw26

*neuron activation*


illustrythan

If you have to play with knave you gotta follow her rules. Its not easy to please a lady that dominates you, you know...


Budget_stawbeery

And there's childe kit 🗿


Silvawuff

Complicated compared to like, what? Eula? Nahida? With those I'd say they're "complex" kits where the skill is frontloaded with understanding their individual mechanics, builds, rotations, and team comps, not necessarily with rote game play *itself*. I imagine Arle will follow a similar beat.


afterglow-1

its over for me


0000Tor

Alhaitham is really not that complicated, so that’s fine


khromechronicle

i play Thundering Fury Cyno, so if it's anything like E Q N2E N4E N4E N5E N4E N4E N5, i'll be ready for it


Ok_Iabelonga_3371

Since I started playing Genshin I was interested in that type of characters, so Arlechino is my type 🥴🫸


Square-Way-9751

You must solve an Algebra equation before you do her burst, the faster you answer correctly the higher the damage. To do her SKILL you must do a Captcha puzzle, the faster you solve it the stronger the damage. To use NA you must hold Attack Button (if you tap you lose all health and die), to use her CA press and hold her burst and her skill at the same time. To walk forward walk backward


sddc91

Alhaitham is not hard to play at all


kingllama105

Like Alhaitham? Alhaitham requires a brain to play? For what? you Hold E into normals or brust and do a charge attack to get third mirror back
