Genshin Impact is set to enhance the Imaginarium Theater experience in Version 5.4 by introducing four new Thespian Tricks, as revealed by the latest beta build. Characters such as Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu will showcase their unique poses, adding a fresh layer of excitement to the game's endgame content. The Imaginarium Theater complements the Spiral Abyss by requiring a more horizontal approach to team building, encouraging players to diversify their character roster across various Elements.
To successfully navigate the monthly challenges in the Imaginarium Theater, players must assemble a team with a variety of Elemental characters. Each month, the theater limits players to using only three specific Elements, with a few exceptions, and offers cosmetic rewards such as Envisaged Echoes and Thespian Tricks upon completion of its Acts.
Firefly Leaks has provided a sneak peek at these new rewards through a screenshot from the beta servers. The Thespian Tricks featured in the upcoming Version 5.4 update spotlight Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu. Notably, while Chiori enjoyed a rerun in Version 5.1, Baizhu will be available in the new Chronicled Banner ahead of Version 5.4, giving players a chance to add him to their collection.
Chiori's new pose in Genshin Impact is particularly striking and likely to be a fan favorite, especially among those who have the Thundering Seamstress in their lineup. Chiori is a valuable long-term investment, boasting power comparable to top-tier characters like Mualani and Arlecchino when fully Constellated. Typically suited for Mono Geo teams, Chiori has also proven effective alongside Navia and in Double Geo setups with Zhongli.
While Version 5.4 may seem modest compared to other updates, with no new map expansions, Archon Quests, or Artifact Domains, it will still bring significant content. This includes a major Flagship Event set in Inazuma, fulfilling a long-standing player request. Additionally, Version 5.4 will introduce Yumemizuki Mizuki, a 5-star Anemo Catalyst, who will star in both the Flagship Event and her own Story Quest. The release of Version 5.4 is slated for February 12, 2025.
