Diluc

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Light up all the Pyro Monuments within a short time Phase 02 • Defeat 10 Enemies within 70 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • Characters will periodically regenerate energy Phase 02 • None
Recommended Weapons	1. Redhorn Stonethresher 2. Beacon of the Reed Sea 3. Wolf's Gravestone 4. Serpent Spine ▲Since you will be fighting alone, we recommend weapons that provide CRIT Stats, or have high personal damage and benefits for Diluc.
Recommended Artifacts	Crimson Witch of Flames x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 Gladiator's Finale x4 ▲Due to Diluc not having access to any Elemental Reactions, we recommend running 2-pc. combinations of Pyro DMG and ATK, or even a 4-pc. set of Gladiator's Finale to boost his own personal damage.
Guidelines	As a general rule of thumb, try to focus on building ATK and CRIT for this challenge. Due to the mechanics of the domain challenge, you can forego both Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery.

The Dark Side of Dawn Guide

Kirara

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Collect 73 Electro particles within 120 seconds Phase 02 • Defeat 3 enemies within 60 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None Phase 02 • Enemies will be affected by Hydro
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword 2. Key of Khaj-Nisut 3. Iron Sting 4. Xiphos' Moonlight ▲During Phase 2, Kirara will have to constantly apply Dendro to the opponents, which makes Sacrifical Sword the prime choice to take here.
Recommended Artifacts	Deepwood Memories x4 ▲As most of Kirara's damage in the second phase will be Dendro, picking Deepwood Memories as your artifact set will help boost its damage and give you a better chance at clearing within the time limit.
Guidelines	Try to focus on stacking Kirara's HP to build up her shields, as the self-bloom damage in Phase 2 may also prove deadly to you.

Cat Upon the Eaves Guide

Ningguang

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Defeat 12 enemies while protecting the Monolith
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None
Recommended Weapons	1. Tulaytullah's Remembrance 2. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 3. Memory of Dust 4. Ballad of the Boundless Blue ▲This is a DPS check with Skill Knowledge, so we recommend packing a 5-star weapon that either boosts Ningguang's Normal, Charged, or Elemental DMG.
Recommended Artifacts	Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods x4 Archaic Petra x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 ▲Go for either of these sets, whichever has better substats as the only thing Ningguang needs here is good ATK, and good CRIT stats.
Guidelines	Enemies will try to focus down the Monolith in the center. Use Ningguang's Jade Screen to cut off their ranged attacks while you deal with the melee units first.

Eclipsing Star Guide

Qiqi

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Light up all the Cryo Monuments within a short time Phase 02 • Defeat 1 enemy within 90 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None Phase 02 • All Party Members periodically lose HP • Enemy Physical and Cryo resistance increased
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword ▲During Phase 2, having Qiqi's Elemental Skill up will be necessary for her survival, so the Sacrificial Sword is your best option here.
Recommended Artifacts	Ocean-Hued Clam x4 Song of Days Past x4 ▲Take advantage of the arena's decaying HP mechanic to empower Qiqi's Elemental Skill to do damage. Using 4-pc. Song of Days Past can especially help in damage contribution if you have it available.
Guidelines	Stack up on ATK in Qiqi's artifacts and weapons to ensure that she can keep both her and Fischl in healthy conditions, as you will need both units to complete this challenge.

Qiqi Rating and Best Builds

Jean

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Protect the target and defeat all opponents
Special Rules	Phase 01 • Your character will be periodically inflicted with Smoldering Flames during this challenge, causing you to continuously take Pyro DMG until the inflicted element is removed.
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword ▲The gimmick here is to toss enemies away using Jean's Elemental Skill, so having the Sacrificial Sword allows for more frequent usage of this skill.
Recommended Artifacts	Emblem of Severed Fate x2 Maiden Beloved x2 Emblem of Severed Fate x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 ▲Due to the Smoldering Flames, you want to be able to use your Elemental Burst as often as possible to cleanse the Smoldering Flame aura off of you for a short time, as well as healing you.
Guidelines	We recommend focusing on your Energy Recharge to keep yourself alive. As you will be dealing with enemies via throwing them away with your Elemental Skill, you can forego damage stats.

Dandelion Knight Guide

Keqing

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Light up all the Electro Monuments within a short time Phase 02 • Defeat all opponents within the time limit
Special Rules	Phase 02 • During the "Driving Thunder Phase II" challenge, every 3 targets destroyed will grant the following buff for 30s: Character gains an Electro DMG Bonus and increased Elemental Mastery. • During the "Driving Thunder Phase II" challenge, Fruits of the Vine will periodically appear and pursue characters, applying Dendro to opponents they touch. Fruits of the Vine will explode after touching a character, applying Dendro to characters and opponents within their AoE once more.
Recommended Weapons	1. Mistsplitter Reforged 2. Primordial Jade Cutter 3. Lion's Roar ▲Keqing will be fighting alone, so pack any weapon that unconditionally benefits her, whether it is an ATK or a CRIT weapon.
Recommended Artifacts	Thundering Fury x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 ▲A pair of 2-pc. Thundering Fury and 2-pc. Gladiator's Finale or any ATK +18% set can give Keqing the solo edge she needs to kill off all the opponents.
Guidelines	Keqing has quick Normal and Charged Attack animations, and these should be taken advantage of, especially when her Charged Attacks are infused with Electro, as it will make up a good chunk of her solo damage.

Driving Thunder Guide

Special Rules	Phase 02 • During the "Vago Mundo Phase II" challenge, every 5 Assisting Crystals you destroy will grant this buff for 30s: When characters use Normal Attacks, a shockwave will be unleashed at the character's position, dealing Physical DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 4.5s. • During the "Vago Mundo Phase II" challenge, opponents deal increased DMG to characters not protected by shields.
Recommended Weapons	1. Staff of Homa 2. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear 3. White Tassel ▲Zhongli needs weapons that increase his CRIT stats, as both his Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst can benefit from it.
Recommended Artifacts	Archaic Petra x2 Noblesse Oblige x2 Gladiator's Finale x4 ▲Use a combination of 2-pc. Archaic Petra and 2-pc. Noblesse Oblige to buff Zhongli's Elemental damage, or use 4-pc. Gladiator's Finale to buff his Normal Attacks.

What are Envisaged Echoes?

New Character Effects and Cosmetics

New character effects were previewed in the 4.8 Livestream, showcasing character trail effects when they move!

These effects are called Envisaged Echoes, and are similar to Thespian Tricks that you can obtain through Imaginarium Theater.

4.8 Livestream Summary

Use 2 Keys for Character Challenges

When gaining 2 Keys of Echoes, you can use them to unlock a character's Envisaged Echoes challenge. Completing this stage with that character earns you their Echo cosmetic.

You can obtain 2 keys from unlocking the Envisaged Echoes feature the first time, and 1 key every Imaginarium Theater season.

Individual Character Challenges

Players must go through a challenge designed for the specific character in order to earn their Echo cosmetic.

These challenges may be as straightforward as regular combat, or as complicated as using character-specific mechanics.

Envisaged Echoes Preview

These are only sneak peeks of the now-available character trail effects. Judging from Imaginarium Theater being a permanent gamemode, we can expect more trails for more characters as the days pass.

These cosmetics serve as proof of your mastery over that character and their mechanics!

Released in Version 4.8

Envisaged Echoes was released into the Imaginarium Theater permanent gamemode in Version 4.8 on July 17, 2024!
