Introduction
Imaginarium Theater is an advanced combat mode introduced in Genshin Impact, making its debut on the 1st of July, 2024. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Season 2 for Version 4.8, detailing the mechanics of Imaginarium Theater, its launch date, the prerequisites for unlocking it, and the rewards you can earn.
The second season of the Imaginarium Theater, Version 4.8, is scheduled to run for an entire month, commencing on the 1st of August, 2024, and concluding on the 31st of August, 2024. In our aticle, players can know better about how to perform well in this period of Imaginarium Theater.
Imaginarium Theater Element Needs
In the second installment of the Imaginarium Theater, the elemental focus shifts to Anemo, Cryo, and Hydro. It's important to note that for this particular season, only characters endowed with these specific elements are eligible to participate in the challenges of the Theater. Special Guests, however, are exempt from this elemental restriction.
Opening Characters and Special Guests in August
The main protagonists for the Imaginarium Theater must be utilized as your primary team members, with the Special Guests serving as supplementary options for the supporting roles. Should you lack the required Opening Character or if they do not fulfill the necessary criteria, a trial version will be made available for your use.
Please be aware that the character Emilie will not be accessible for play until her character banner is officially launched, which is scheduled for server time on August 6, 2024.
Furthermore, if you do not possess the Special Guest characters and are unable to obtain them through a friend's assistance, you will be restricted from utilizing any alternative characters in the Theater.
Fantastical Blessing in August: After this season's Opening Characters join your party, Max HP, Attack, and Def are increased by 20%.
In the realm of Imaginarium Theater, the effects of Fantastical Blessings extend to the Opening Characters, enhancing their capabilities not only within the theater but also across the entirety of the game's adventures!
All levels of Challenge Difficulty and the formidable Boss Enemies
Certain Acts within the narrative are anchored by set Boss Enemies, who embody the antagonistic forces in the tale. The stages featuring these Bosses vary in both difficulty tiers and the objectives they present.
Preparation Period
Six characters have been designated in advance to assume the roles of the Opening Characters.
The sextet of characters designated for the Principal Cast will receive the boon of Fantastical Blessings, or tailored enhancements. These enhancements are not confined to the Imaginarium Theater; they extend to the broader gameplay experience and persist throughout the duration of the respective challenge phase!
Should you possess the characters highlighted in the Principal Cast, the benefits of these buffs will be perpetually applied to them for the entire season of their featured tenure.
Choose the Trial Version when your character lacks the ideal build or is not adequately prepared.
Should you harbor doubts regarding the adequacy of your character's build, opt for the Trial character version; the strength and capabilities of the Trial character are sufficient to navigate and complete the stages effectively.
For the Alternate Cast, the utilization is limited to characters with designated elemental attributes or those who are categorized as Special Guest Stars.
Upon finalizing your selection of Opening Characters, you proceed to choose 12 characters for the Alternate Cast. The selection criteria for these characters are based on the element that is specified for the current month. However, there is an exception to this rule: the Special Guest Stars. They are exempt from the elemental restriction and can be selected as part of the Alternate Cast.
Additionally, you have the option to incorporate 1 Supporting Cast member from a friend's roster of characters.
You have the option to enlist one 'Supporting Cast' from your Friends, who will act as part of the Alternate Cast. This Support Cast will mirror the Constellation and Build from your Friend's profile, offering you an excellent opportunity to experience the playstyle of characters with higher Constellations (provided your friends possess such characters).
To find friends who may have the characters you're interested in, you can explore the Supporting Cast Thread listed below:
When making your Character selections, ensure a strategic equilibrium between Support and Damage roles. Given that the appearance of Alternate Cast members is not under your direct control, it's crucial to maintain a balance between healing characters and those focused on dealing damage. With the option to select 12 Alternate Cast members, an optimal distribution would be to allocate 4 characters to each of the three roles: DPS, Sub-DPS, and Sustain.
Characters experience a gradual depletion of Vigor as they progress through the Challenge
A distinctive feature of the Imaginarium Theater is its unique Vigor System, which allocates two stacks of Vigor to each character. These Vigor Stacks diminish after each engagement in battle, rendering a character incapable of fighting once they are completely exhausted.
This system necessitates a thoughtful approach to your character rotation, taking into account the remaining Vigor stacks. It contrasts with the Abyss, where your rotation strategy is more focused on the team's overall synergy and elemental interactions.
Utilize Fantasia Flowers to initiate Special Events
In each act, you are presented with a variety of events to choose from. The Fantasia Flowers serve as a currency to engage in Companion Events, Wondrous Boons, or to unlock Mystery Caches. Upon the completion of any of these events, you will be redirected to the event selection interface to make further choices.
Opportunity for External Audience Support
Additionally, there exists the possibility of receiving unsolicited External Audience Support. This support can manifest in various forms, such as the acquisition of Fantasia Flowers or the enhancement of an existing Wondrous Boon you possess.
Successfully engage and overcome a Battle Event to conclude the Act
To finalize an act, players must successfully complete a Battle Event. Prior to selecting a Battle Event, players have the opportunity to preview the adversaries and the goals they will face. It is important to note that only by completing Battle Events can players earn Fantasia Flowers as a reward.
Engage in Conversations with Companions During Intermissions Between Acts
Upon the completion of an Act, you are invited to take a leisurely stroll around the theater lobby before proceeding with the show. The lobby is populated by the characters you have most recently interacted with, offering you the chance to engage in conversation with them.
Initiate a New Run or Retrace Steps in the Current Performance
Should players encounter difficulties in achieving their goals, they are presented with the alternatives of Restarting or Rewinding their Performance. The Restart feature allows for a fresh attempt at the current Battle event within the same Act. Conversely, the Rewind option transports players back to the Act that follows the last Boss encounter they successfully surmounted.
The Rewind function serves as a retreat to the most recent checkpoint
Should you opt for a Rewind at Act 5, you would be transported to the beginning of Act 4, immediately following the completion of Act 3. Concurrently, your characters' status, Vigor levels, and Fantasia Flowers will be restored to the state they were in at the conclusion of Act 3.
Claim your Rewards Post-Performance
Upon the successful completion of all Acts within an Imaginarium Theater Performance, you become eligible to gather the Performance Tour Rewards. Additionally, you have the option to prematurely conclude the Performance by navigating to the Performance Details area within the ongoing Challenge.
