Summary
The Imaginarium Theater inGenshin Impactallows players to borrow one character from a friend’s account, and a recent leak precisely explains how this new feature works. Since launch, the Spiral Abyss was the closest thing thatGenshin Impacthad to an endgame. It enabled players to push their characters and team-building knowledge to the limit, and it evolved alongsideGenshin Impactas more enemies and gameplay styles emerged.
Though the Spiral Abyss inGenshin Impactis considered a staple of its gameplay loop, players have also clamored for more endgame variety. Whereas certain limited events have provided a combat challenge, the lack of permanency made them a poor substitute for the Spiral Abyss. However, Version 4.7 is expected to introduce anew Spiral Abyss mode toGenshin Impact, and it comes with its own set of novelties and peculiarities.
The new endgame mode is known as the Imaginarium Theater, and its inaugural season takes place in Mondstadt. It can be accessed via Lisa’s library in the Knights of Favonius headquarters, and it places a particular emphasis on horizontal investment. Not only are players restricted by Element type in terms of whichGenshin Impactcharactersare eligible to participate, but they are expected to have 18 characters at Level 70 to tackle the Hard Mode in the Imaginarium Theater. In order to make this requirement more palatable, information shared byChalice Leaks on theGenshin ImpactLeaks subredditexplains that players will be able to borrow one character from a friend’s account. However, this feature apparently has some important restrictions to consider, according to the leak.
Borrowing Characters in Genshin Impact for the Imaginarium Theater
The first season of the Imaginarium Theater will only allow Pyro, Electro, and Anemo characters to participate. However, it will also feature “Special Guests” as a unique role, who will be able to override these requirements entirely. The first season will feature Sigewinne, Wriothesley, Alhaitham, and Baizhu as Special Guests. Given that Baizhu is scheduled to appear in the second half of Version 4.6, it’s quite possible that both Alhaitham and Wriothesley could feature on theEvent Banners inGenshin ImpactVersion 4.7.
Completing the Imaginarium Theater will award players with 620 Primogems, and clearing the Spiral Abyss will now give 800 Primogems instead. However, with the introduction of the new game mode,Genshin Impactwill only reset the Spiral Abyss once per month, which will almost certainly spark some controversy in the community. It remains to be seen if the Imaginarium Theater will alternate with the Spiral Abyss or if both modes will feature alongside each other.
