How to Play Imaginarium Theater

Select Challenges in Performance Prep

Genshin Impact - Imaginarium Theater Difficulty Level
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

Similar to the Abyssal Moons of the Spiral Abyss, these requirements and restrictions change every time the event enters a new season.

Borrow or Lend Supporting Cast Characters

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Supporting Cast
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.

Genshin Co-Op Boards
Genshin - Friend Request BoardFriend Request Board Genshin - Co-Op BoardCo-Op Board Genshin - Supporting castBoardSupporting Cast Board

Designated Opening Characters for the Principal Cast

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Opening Characters for the Principal Cast
When challenging Imaginarium Theater, players are only allowed to use specific Opening 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

Genshin Impact - Imaginarium Theater Fantastical Blessing
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!

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

Genshin Impact - Imaginarium Theater Party Setup
Travelers are required to select atleast 8 to 22 characters that act as Alternate Cast members depending on the difficulty, which can include up to one Supporting Cast. The Alternate Cast Members must also fit the elemental requirements of the current Imaginarium Theater cycle, with exceptions of the Special Guest Stars.

Difficulty Required No. of
Alternate Cast Members
Easy 8
Normal 12
Hard 16
Visionary 22 (minimum)
You can add up to 26 members in Visionary Mode, with each additional member providing HP +1600, ATK +100, +DEF +100, and Elemental Mastery +40 bonuses.

Once you start the challenge, you get a chance to add characters to your Principal Cast after each battle, or through Companion Events.

Select Special Guest Characters

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - 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.

Characters Lose Vigor Throughout the Challenge

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Vigor for Characters
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

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Special Events
For every act, you can choose between different events. Fantasia Flowers can be used to either select Companion Events, Wondrous Boons, or Mystery Cache. After completing one of these events, you will be brought back to the event selection screen.

Chance for External Audience Support

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - External Audience Support
There is also a chance of randomly getting External Audience Support, which can range from getting Fantasia Flowers or upgrading a Wondrous Boon that you have.

Complete a Battle Event to Finish the Act

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Battle Event
Players can only complete an act after completing a Battle Event. You can see previews of the enemies and objectives before choosing a Battle Event! Only Battle Events can reward Fantasia Flowers.

Talk to Companions Between Acts

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Talk to Companions
When you complete an Act, you can walk around the theater lobby before continuing the performance. The lobby will have the characters you most recently used, and you can have a chat with them!

Restart or Rewind A Performance

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Rewind or Restart Performance
Players are given the option to Restart or Rewind their Performance should they fail to complete the objectives. Restart lets you attempt the same Battle event in the current Act, while Rewind will bring you to the Act after the last Boss fight you have completed!

Rewind Goes Back to the Last Checkpoint

If you decided to Rewind at Act 5, for example, you will be brought to the start of Act 4, just after completing Act 3. Your characters, Vigor, and Fantasia Flowers will also be reset to how they were at the end of Act 3.

Collect Rewards After the Performance

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Claim Rewards
You can collect Performance Tour Rewards after completing all the Acts in an Imaginarium Theater Performance. You can also forcibly End the Performance by going to the Performance Details section in an ongoing Challenge.

All Imaginarium Theater Event Types

Battle Event

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Choose A Battle Event
Battle Events come in several types, but all of them require defeating enemies in a fearsome battle. Completing a Battle Event will end the current Act and allow you to proceed to the next one.

Companion Event

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Companion Event
Companion Events let you add a character to your current Cast of Characters, which means you can use them on your team for Battle events! You can only choose companions from the Alternate Cast Characters you had set at the start of the challenge.

Mystery Cache

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Mystery Cache
Mystery Cache allows you to choose between two event cards that can have special effects on the other Events you may encounter, in exchange for a certain amount of Fantasia Flowers.

Wondrous Boon

Genshin - Imaginarium Theater - Wondrous Boon
The Wondrous Boon Event let you choose between a number of randomized Wondrous Boon cards that can give buffs within the Challenge. These buffs often come with certain conditions required to activate them.

Reaction-Buffing Events

Genshin Impact - New Reaction Improving Events

For the reactions that will be present based on the elements featured in the current Imaginarium Theater challenge, events that aim to buff on the reactions will show up regularly. They aim to provide additional damage and increase the efficacy of the reaction.

These events are either Origin, Evolution, or Divergence.

Event Sub-Type Description
Origin • Improves the reaction.
• Usually results in a general damage increase overall
Evolution • Further increase the reaction damage.
• Increases the overall level of the buff
Divergence • Changes the effect of the buff but is still related to the reaction.

Origin events will always show up first as they will dictate the baseline of the reaction buff. This will just straight away improve the overall performance of the reaction involved.

Evolution and Divergence events will randomly show up after an Origin event has already been taken for that specific reaction. The choice between changing the buff effect or strengthening the current buff's effect depends on you.

What is Imaginarium Theater?

yeah I got the water abyss mages with slimes and couldn't clear it. I would suggest saving all rerolls for act 9 and rerolling until you get something that isn't abyss mages. Everything else was pretty easy as f2p. I think this is easier than hard due to the massive buffs you get for bringing 4 extra characters.
