How to Play Imaginarium Theater

Select Challenges in Performance Prep

Challenges are displayed in the Performance Prep menu, where there are three difficulty levels; Easy Mode, Normal Mode, and Hard Mode. There are 3/6/8 combat performances or Acts for each corresponding difficulty level and their own specific requirements.

Different Requirements Every Season

Season 1 Elemental Requirement
Anemo	Pyro	Electro

Similar to the Abyssal Moons of the Spiral Abyss, these requirements and restrictions change every time the event enters a new season. For the first season in Version 4.7, the required elements are Anemo, Pyro, and Electro.

Six Designated Opening Characters for the Principal Cast

When challenging a difficulty in Imaginarium Theater, players are only allowed to use six designated characters for the Principal Cast. They can choose to use either their own characters or Trial characters provided in the challenge.

Opening Characters Gain Fantastical Blessings Buff

The six designated characters for the Principal Cast will gain Fantastical Blessings, or specific buffs. These buffs will be in effect both inside and outside Imaginarium Theater and will last until the end of that challenge period!

Season 1 July 2024 Fantastical Blessing

If you own the characters featured in the Principal Cast, the buff will be applied to them at all times during the season that they are featured.

Select Eight Alternate Cast Characters

Travelers can also select eight characters that as Alternate Cast members. Once you start the challenge, you get a chance to add characters to your Principal Cast after each battle, or through Combat or Companion Events.

Select Special Guest Characters

Amongst the choices for an Alternate Cast, there will be special guest characters that do not need to meet the challenge requirements. You must own these special guest characters to be able to use them.

Borrow or Lend Supporting Cast Characters

Travelers can designate up to seven of their own characters as Supporting Cast, meaning their friends can borrow these characters and use them when challenging the Imaginarium Theater.

These characters need to meet the existing challenge requirements and can be used up to 15 times each season! However, for each challenge, only one Supporting Character can be chosen at a time.

Characters Lose Vigor Throughout the Challenge

Another quirk of the Imaginarium Theater is its own Vigor System, which provides two stacks of Vigor for each character. Vigor Stacks deplete every battle, and a character can no longer fight once it is fully depleted.

This means you have to carefully think of your rotation in relation to how much Vigor stacks you have left, as opposed to Abyss where your rotation is tied to your team's overall combo, and elemental reaction!

Use Fantasia Flowers to Trigger Special Events

During the challenge, Travelers can use Fantasia Flowers to trigger Combat or Companion Events during the story. Companion Events automatically let you choose a character to add to your Principal Cast, while Combat Events trigger battles!

Fantasia Flowers can be obtained by completing the objectives in each battle.

Imaginarium Theater Rewards

Performance Tour Rewards

After completing challenges and finalizing Performance Results, players can collect Performance Tour Rewards! There will be a total of eight Performance Goals to achieve, each consisting of Primogem rewards, Midlander Billet Troves, Sanctifying Essence, and Talent Level-Up Materials.

Primogem Rewards Breakdown

Debut Performance Gifts for First Clears

There will also be Debut Performance Gifts given to players the first time they complete an Act.

Performance Medal Rewards for Each Level

Players can obtain Performance Medals from completing Star Challenges, depending on the difficulty level of the overall challenge. These medals can be displayed on their in-game profile.

Earn Toy Medals to Exchange with Wolfy

Travelers can also earn Toy Medals from challenging the Imaginarium Theater, which they can then use to get unique character poses from the Concierge, Wolfy!

Use the Unique Character Poses in Picture-Taking

These poses can be used when taking in-game photos! More character poses will be added to Wolfy's shop whenever Imaginarium Theater is updated.
