The latest news for the New Imaginarium Theater is here. Didn't the developers previously acknowledge that they would optimize the subsequent gameplay mechanics of the new abyss? Well, the preliminary outcomes of the optimization have come out, but after looking at them, I just shook my head in disapproval. The developers still don't understand what the players are thinking.
To Begin With, this redesign of the New Imaginarium Theater is actually mainly focused on adjustments to the Elemental Reactions that everyone emphasizes. Subsequently, when players trigger Elemental Reactions, there will be an additional damage bonus. After clearing each level, characters will gain attribute enhancements, with the maximum level being 12. Health points are increased by 9600, attack power by 600, and defense by 600. However, characters with proficiency attributes seem to be at a disadvantage this time around.
New Gameplay Mechanics
The "Radiant Blessing" will provide Elemental Reaction bonuses for characters that meet the elemental conditions of this period. As the blessing level increases, the combat characters will receive attribute enhancements. When reaching the maximum level, Lv12, the health point limit is increased by 9600, attack power is increased by 600, and defense is increased by 600.
Moreover, in the 5.0 version of the Spiral Abyss, three new blessing reactions have been added: Vaporize, Bloom, and Combustion. It is evident that this period's abyss opens up the Hydro, Pyro, and Dendro elements. Yes, that's correct, the elemental restriction remains unchanged and unadjusted, still limiting to only three elemental attributes for character deployment.
Among them, the Vaporize reaction will receive blessings from three branches, such as reducing the enemy's Hydro and Pyro elemental resistances, and releasing shockwaves to enhance damage when triggering the Vaporize reaction. It is apparent that the developers want players to feel that they have not forgotten the elemental reaction, the core gameplay of Genshin Impact. However, it is clear that players are still dissatisfied with the character restriction issue.
● Vaporize: Basic
After triggering the Vaporize reaction on an enemy, its Hydro and Pyro elemental resistances are reduced by 30%.
● Vaporize: Branches
1. When triggering the Vaporize reaction on an enemy, release a shockwave that deals Hydro elemental damage.
2. When triggering the Vaporize reaction on an enemy, release a shockwave that deals Pyro elemental damage.
● Vaporize: Ultimate
1. The damage caused by the Vaporize reaction is increased by 40%, and the range and damage of the Hydro shockwave are enhanced.
2. The damage caused by the Vaporize reaction is increased by 40%, and the Pyro shockwave will additionally cause two more shockwaves with a larger area of effect.
The Bloom reaction follows suit, with three blessing enhancement branches, such as generating additional Seed Pellets, increasing the damage of Dendro seeds, and enhancing the direct damage of Dendro and Hydro elements, etc.
● Combustion: Basic
After dealing damage multiple times through the Combustion reaction, it will trigger an Explosion, causing additional Pyro elemental area damage.
● Combustion: Branches
Enemies affected by Combustion have their Pyro elemental resistance reduced by 25%. The damage caused by Explosion is increased by 50%.
● Combustion: Ultimate
1. When the current field character takes damage from Combustion, the damage they deal is increased by 50%, and they continuously recover health.
2.The Combustion damage dealt by the character is increased by 350%.
3.Explosions will cause multiple higher instances of damage.
4. Explosions will definitely result in a critical hit, with a critical damage rate of 70%.
Summary
Additionally, this redesigned New Imaginarium Theater will only be available in the 5.0 update; the New Spiral Abyss that will be updated on August 1st is still the original version, so everyone will have to endure for quite some time.
In general, if there are still restrictions on characters and elemental attributes, this redesign is essentially equivalent to no redesign at all. The difficulty of this level is not high to begin with, and whether the blessing reaction is added or not won't make much difference. On the contrary, after introducing this BUFF, the gap between the new and old abyss will gradually narrow.
From the start, it would have been much better to add more layers to the existing Old Spiral Abyss rather than opening a new one. However, the advantage of the New Imaginarium Theater lies in its good scene design. The developers really should thank the artists for keeping so many players from quitting the game.
