Genshin Impact's Imaginarium Theater presents a unique opportunity for players to borrow characters from their friends' accounts, with leaked details shedding light on how this feature operates. Since its inception, the Spiral Abyss has been the game's primary endgame content. It has allowed players to test their characters and strategic abilities to the fullest, evolving alongside the growing roster of enemies and gameplay mechanics in Genshin Impact.
Despite the Spiral Abyss's significance in Genshin Impact's gameplay loop, players have expressed a desire for more endgame diversity. While certain limited-time events have provided combat challenges, their temporary nature has rendered them inadequate substitutes for the Spiral Abyss. However, the upcoming Version 4.7 is set to introduce a new iteration of the Spiral Abyss, promising a fresh set of challenges and features.
The latest endgame addition, known as the Imaginarium Theater, will debut in Mondstadt. Accessible through Lisa's library at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, this mode emphasizes broad character investment. Players must not only adhere to Elemental restrictions when selecting characters for Genshin Impact's Imaginarium Theater but must also have 18 Level 70 characters to tackle its Hard Mode. To ease this requirement, leaked information from Chalice Leaks on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit reveals that players will have the option to borrow a character from a friend's account, albeit with certain limitations, as per the leak.
How Character Borrowing Works in the Imaginarium Theater
- Players can designate up to seven characters as Assisting Characters from their own account.
- Friends can select one designated character to assist them.
- An Assisting Character can aid a player in 15 encounters per season.
- Designated characters must align with the Elemental restriction of the season.
- Aloy and the Traveler are ineligible to be designated as Assisting Characters.
The inaugural season of the Imaginarium Theater will exclusively permit Pyro, Electro, and Anemo characters to participate. Additionally, the season will introduce 'Special Guests' who can bypass these restrictions entirely. Notable figures like Sigewinne, Wriothesley, Alhaitham, and Baizhu will serve as Special Guests in the first season. With Baizhu slated for the latter part of Version 4.6, it is likely that Alhaitham and Wriothesley may appear on Event Banners in Genshin Impact's Version 4.7.
Completing the Imaginarium Theater will grant players 620 Primogems, while clearing the Spiral Abyss will now reward 800 Primogems. However, the introduction of this new game mode means Genshin Impact will reset the Spiral Abyss only once per month, a decision that may spark debates within the community. The future will reveal whether the Imaginarium Theater will alternate with the Spiral Abyss or if both modes will coexist simultaneously.
