Possible Team Comps

Act 1 - 3

Pyro-Crystallize
Geo Image Geo Pyro Image Pyro Any Any
Cryo-Crystallize
Geo Image Geo Cryo Image Cryo Any Any
Melt (Boss)
Pyro Image Pyro Cryo Image Cryo Any Any

When preparing for Act 3's boss, use the Geo units in your lineup as fodder units since the Primo Geovishap in Act 3 is resistant to Geo.

Act 4 - 6

Geo Core
Geo Image Geo Geo Image Geo Any Any
Electro-Charge
Hydro Image Hydro Electro Image Electro Any Any
Melt (Boss)
Pyro Image Pyro Cryo Image Cryo Any Any

Act 6 features the Electro Regisvine, and will require your best off-field Cryo and Pyro units.

If you have access to the Special Guests, then running an Electro-Charge comp for Act 4's Monolith Defense can be viable due to the multi-target capabilities of this team.

Act 7 - 8

Pyro-Crystallize
Pyro Image Pyro Pyro Image Pyro Any Any
Electro-Charge
Hydro Image Hydro Electro Image Electro Any Any
Cryo Core (Boss)
Cryo Image Cryo Cryo Image Cryo Any Any

Act 8 features the Solitary Suanni, which can be countered by a Cryo core team, or alternatively a Melt team as the Suanni can be repeatedly frozen then melted.

Act 9 - 10

Cryo-Crystallize
Geo Image Geo Cryo Image Cryo Any Any
Pyro Core (Boss)
Pyro Image Pyro Pyro Image Pyro Any Any

When fighting Act 10's Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King, make sure to save up one of your best Pyro units in order to shred it down with damage and keep it from ingesting any of the Flamegranate.

Season 7 Act 1 - 3 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 1 - 2)

Checkmark Pick a main reaction (preferably Melt) and select Blessings for it to enhance that reaction.
Checkmark Spend the remainder of your points on Companion Events.
Checkmark Leave your best characters (preferably a Pyro or Cryo) with at least 1 Vigor for Act 3.

At the very start, you will have access to only the Opening Characters, and you will have the option to select buffs for certain reactions. As a general rule of thumb, the reaction you invest the most in will be the team you bring to the boss fights.

We recommend slotting into any Melt blessings as an overall investment for later, as Pyro and Cryo units seem to be the main focus for this Imaginarium Theater.

General Strategy (Act 1 - 2)

Prioritize Pyro Units

Genshin - Pyro Unit Focus

Due to the lack of options when it comes to DPS units of other elements in this Imaginarium Theater, most of your priority will be towards acquiring at least two Pyro DPS units so you can swap them around.

Save Ganyu or other AoE Units

Genshin - Save Ganyu

While it is good to use the best units available to you in most scenarios, try your best to at least save one use for Ganyu so she can be used for Act 6's boss later on.

Act 3 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Primo Geovishap ImagePrimo Geovishap

Act 3 features the Hydro Primo Geovishap and boasts a resistance to both Geo and Hydro, emphasizing the use of Pyro and Cryo for the fight. Bringing shielders is also beneficial here to deflect the Geovishap's Primodial Shower.

Defeat the Opponent Within 75s

To clear this fight as soon as possible, keep your shield up while using your DPS units to chip down the Geovishap's HP.

Using a Geo shielder like Zhongli or Noelle can cause the Primordial Shower attack from the Geovishap to blastback and chunk down its own HP, which significantly speeds up your clear time.

Bring Pyro and Cryo Units

Clearing this boss incentivizes the use of Pyro and Cryo units due to the boss's Geo resistance. When bringing a melt team, you can trigger Melt fairly often as the boss barely moves from its place when you are in melee range.

Season 7 Act 4 - 6 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 4 - 5)

Checkmark Spend points on Companion events, inviting most of your Characters (especially Pyro and Cryo).
Checkmark Spend the remainder of your points to upgrade your main Blessing.
Checkmark Leave your best AoE characters with at least 1 Vigor for Act 6.

By this point in time, you might have exhausted some of your opening characters, allowing you to use more Geo units, slot in your Special Guests for Electro-Charge, or build Rainbow comps for damage.

Act 4 Strategy

Bring AoE Units For the Monolith Defense

Genshin - Monolith Defense

Due to the lack of Anemo units, your best options for the Monolith Defense are to bring AoE or summon units that can deal off-field damage to enemies to eliminate each threat quicker.

Electro-Charge is also an option here as you can zap enemies down with the electro procs.

Act 5 Strategy

Fodder Units Gain More Value

Act 5 can be argued as one of the last easy fights you will have on the Theater Grounds, which makes using fodder units here more effective as they can spare the energy of a more important unit.

Act 6 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Electro Regisvine ImageElectro Regisvine

The boss for this Act is the Electro Regisvine, which is arguably the hardest boss for this Imaginarium Theater due to the short clear time and the boss's unique core mechanics.

It is recommended to stack as much AoE and Off-Field Pyro and Cryo units here in order to take down the Regisvine's core as fast as possible.

Defeat the Opponent Within 45s

The Electro Regisvine has a unique mechanic compared to the other Regisvine opponents where its core starts on its corolla, rendering melee attacks inefficient in taking down its core.

Your trick here is to use AoE or off-field attacks that end up striking the core, such as Ganyu or Citlali's Elemental Burst.

You Have a Short Window Once the Regisvine is Stunned

When the Regisvine's core is broken and it falls the ground, you will have approximately 15 seconds to kill it before it regains its damage resistance.

Season 7 Act 7 - 8 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 7 and Act 8)

Checkmark Start unlocking your strongest Pyro and Cryo DPS.
Checkmark Have a Cryo DPS ready for Act 8.
Checkmark Try for Mystery Caches to get some of your other units back.

By Act 7, you should be able to create a lineup based on some of your remaining or unused units. Around this time, keep in mind that you will want your best Pyro units saved for Act 10, and one of your best Cryo units for Act 8.

Act 7 Strategy

You can refresh from the number of events until you get a Combat Event that does not lend any advantages or disadvantages to an Element, allowing you to pick and choose any character so long as they can reliably damage foes.

Also, try to look out for the Mystery Caches to get some of your other units back, so you can have a wider variety of options to choose from when building a team comp.

Act 8 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Solitary Suanni ImageSolitary Suanni

The Solitary Suanni has access to Hydro and Anemo attacks that deal heavy damage, as well as Hydro and Anemo resistance.

Fortunately, the Solitary Suanni also inflicts Hydro to itself, allowing for elemental reactions such as Freeze, Vaporize, and mainly Freeze-Melt.

Defeat the Opponent Within 80s

Take any opportunity you can to apply damage to the Suanni with Cryo attacks. It will periodically infuse itself with Hydro and immediately get Frozen by the Cryo attack, giving you more time to hit it.

In addition, the Frozen Suanni can also be shattered, which briefly stuns it and cancels out any attack it was planning to do, making it a stationary target.

Season 7 Act 9 - 10 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 9 and Act 10)

Checkmark Leave your best Pyro characters for Act 10.
Checkmark Use single-target DPS units for Act 9.
Checkmark Spend the remainder of your points on the more beneficial Blessing upgrades or Mystery Caches buffs that increase DPS.

The last acts consist of an Elite enemy mob wave and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King, requiring you to bring your best Pyro unit for Act 10.

Act 9 also features the bounty unit system, requiring you to take down 3 opponents who are considered the bounty units.

Act 9 Strategy

Focus Down the Bounty Units

Similar to previous seasons, Act 9 requires you to kill certain Bounty units that spawn alongside a never-ending wave of enemies until you complete the challenge.

Single-target DPS units shine here due to their ability to effectively assassinate the one enemy that needs to be taken down in a horde.

Act 10 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King ImageGluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King

The boss in the last act is the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King, and serves as a DPS check, incentivizing Pyro units to stop it from activating one of its mechanics.

This fight demands the player to use strong Pyro units with ample interruption resistance as the Yumkasaur King can stall for time by knocking away or interrupting the player's attacks.

Defeat the Opponent Within 80s

The boss will follow and path towards the player as they fight, using its slow but heavy-hitting attacks whenever it can.

Look to create a consistent damage rotation as the damage done to the Yumkasaur King over the course of the fight is the same.

Apply Pyro to the Flamegranate

When the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King drops 3 Flamegranates in front of it, use any AoE Pyro attack you have to force the Flamegranate to explode and chunk the boss for a good portion of their HP.

You will likely get only 2 - 3 opportunities to have these Flamegranate drop and let you destroy it, which chunks the Yumkasaur King for a quarter of its health with just two successful rotations of this, so make use of these when you can.

When is the 5.3 guide?

6 TokyoQuaSaR5 months

It seems like act 9 is the hardest in most cases. I had the same feeling with pyro abyss mages and slimes. I expected to clear it hyper fast with my best team which is mono hydro and I struggled (at first I didn't try to optimize anything thinking it would be too easy with that team and I had to restart the fight). Iniquitous baptist in act 10 is really easy if u have the right team on the other hand. Act 9 >> Act 10 for sure.
