Genshin's Next Endgame Mode Explained - Imaginarium Theater Guide

[@MyVanir]

Finally, a use for the friend feature.

[@pearsblikingone.jand9cb764]

FINALLY

[@jy4057]

I like more end game content, but what I really need is more resin to build characters 😂.

[@strom2644]

the 200 cap is good, more resin will make the game boring after some time and people will quit out of boredom and nothing to do anymore

[@FLG_NEO_]

​@strom2644 the 200 cap isn't more resin since the recharge rate is the exact same. Just something hoyo did to please those not smart enough to know the difference

[@Alucard400]

@@FLG_NEO_ the recharge rate is faster than refilling to the max less than 24 hours. so the 200 is good for people who only log on once a day in the very same hour each day. Imagine if the max was only 100 with the same recharge rate. you'd be forced to log on more than twice a day to use resin.

[@FLG_NEO_]

@Alucard400 yeah but that only helps those people, and the 200 takes more than 24hrs actually so your point isn't as good as you think it is. Game is still lackluster in most areas

[@yukitadano5098]

@@FLG_NEO_ "only" helps those people, as if they aren't the majority

[@ConfusedOwl92]

If HOYO adds Geo as an requirement, then im screwed so bad. I have zero geo character built 😅

This 😂 i only have the free gorou too

[@billiechristine4034]

You will still have access to the the trial characters and I doubt they would do a mono thing.

[@phoenixlau]

Don't forget geo traveler! Otherwise your other elements can pick up the slack for the missing geo units, i.e. you don't need exactly 6/6/6.

The game-wide specific character buff is such a despicable marketing strategy it's INSANE.

[@W1SE_Xx]

I dont get it, why do my imaginarium theater says "8 selectable characters, not enough to start Challenge." Can someone explain/help me? Thankss Edit: For me, i really dont get the game mechanics😭😭

[@Lexi_pepsie]

Then you don’t have 8 characters built

[@hibalovescats]

Very well explained! I almost went insane trying to understand the new end game content haha. Great video, love it!! 👍👍

[@pete4416]

The art style on this is sooo cute I'm dying

[@Jugraj293]

How can i select more characters it only allow me to put 7 of my own character and 6 of trial but it requires 14 character for normal level but i don't have any guest character how can i unlock more level pls tell anyone

[@pinky9311]

Why i can't play the normal and hard modes the party set up button isn't showing on them 😭😭

[@clericneokun]

This is certainly more productive than replaying the same domain over and over again during those days when I just want the dopamine rush of seeing a ton of numbers fill the screen even though I've already ran out of resin.

[@kristad9016]

Thanks for more explanation, very interesting about the character buffs.

[@sharkh3art]

No problem!

[@gamertub976]

It's pretty incredible for me cuz I got 2 account's 1 where i just get meta character , 2 where i get whichever character i want, as (f2p)

[@Zagreus248]

Can’t wait to get one more pull from doing a whole new mode

[@anshunotfound420]

Finally some actual progression

[@Zagreus248]

One extra pull 💀

[@wbvenus]

Why I can't play the normal mode

[@alexmiller4755]

Some important information: _When you invite a character from your friend's roster. That character will be locked and you won't be able to pick other characters from that friend's roster. It applies to one character per friend and if you change your friend, the previously chosen character will also be locked out. _It is not important if you can clear the floor with maximum amount of stars. You will get all the prizes when you reached certain star. _Theater is heavily tailored to your elements restriction, you don't need guest stars. _Make sure you have 18 characters or more built (level 70) to enter hard mode. _Bring a Venti, Venti op again.

[@phoenixlau]

Has there been any clarity regarding friend characters vs. starting 6? i.e. will you actually be able to borrow a whale Arlecchino to overwrite the trial/own Arlecchino you are forced to pick in the starting 6 lineup?

[@tomasgrimm3086]

Community: We want endgame to use our favorite characters and see them in action. Genshin I.: ... ... 4 years later... OK, I´ll give you some endgame but you´ll use the characters I want to sell and test them with a fake buff

[@Zagreus248]

And only give you one extra pull a month 💀

[@DR_REDACTED]

​@@ovidiuiazarktms3416 Nah no thx 🤡 aaah

[@spiritcomics5655]

This sounds kinda like the event from patch 2.8. Where we had to pick 4 characters. With each part of the stage passed, we had to get rid of one character. I kept my C6 Barbara till the last stage (survivability). It also sounds like the Simulated Universe from HSR a little bit. I just hope the Favonius Library doesn't become like The Cat's Tail, used only for this game mode.

[@divinesan7786]

I mean the vigor system was from that

[@uniquesence]

Thank you so much, Shark!!! I can't wait to suck at this but try very hard still, lol!!! Also, that wolf looks adorable

[@asttm3234]

[@sharkh3art]

Yep, especially with the Fantastical Blessing Buff

[@nyxalex8049]

The whole thing sound like that to me like tf you mean i cant use the characters i pulled 😭

[@joshchen5835]

Basically just making you have to pull less popular or less meta characters because of the restriction. A abyss with restrictions.

[@divinesan7786]

That is endgame about

[@Saifgmr_]

I have this problem that when i want to play hard mode, it shows me that i dont have enough characters when i go to add characters in the supporting cast i just cant it told me once again that ive reached max. What should i do ?

[@John_II]

Another way to get more resources sounds nice. Add the 200 resin cap, and we have some real QOL improvements. And then the Abyss is less rewarding... Hoyo giveth and Hoyo taketh away.

[@thebuddhasmiles]

How is the 200 resin cap an improvement? It could be 1 million but if you dont have a faster resin refresh rate how is it better?

[@John_II]

@@thebuddhasmiles Fair point, in that it's not technically "more" resin without changing the referesh rate. However, this is a QOL for me personally because at 8 minutes per resin, 200 fills up in 26H40m, which means I only have to log in once per day to not lose resin and when I log on, I'm going to have more than 160 resin I'm used to (about 180 resin in 24 hours). For my mora, I'd prefer if Genshin adopted WuWa's resin wholesale - in WuWa it's 1 resin every 6 minutes, which is 24 hours to refill, which is MORE resin and logging in once per day is fine by me.

[@divinesan7786]

Abyss +this = more primos

[@tamasvadon5236]

Great now we going to do 2 seperate events for almost the same rewards as before.

[@Igl0085]

I think this update sounds great but idk abt the blessing buff thing

[@yoiko89]

Which means able to use my Neuvillette in Special Guest. Good thing Hoyoverse added this Feature, now i have reason to build character until level 90. I don't have Anemo DPS

[@juggernaut6666]

[@Bellarose292]

Im so confused and im ar 53 player😭i cant do normal mofe cuz it says i dont have enought character? 13/14? How do i add more??

[@SmIuffy]

Great point mentioning about the temporary buffs OUTSIDE imaginarium theatre!! I hate the feeling that a character is only temporarily buffed and expires within a certain period of time.. At least have a function to turn ON or OFF the buffs outside Imaginarium theatre. I don’t like the idea and honestly hate the feeling of getting hyped up for a character and then finding it underwhelming after the buff ends. I understand if the buff was within Imaginarium, that’s totally fine but I found it very unnecessary for the devs to implement the buffs outside Imaginarium.. However, like you mentioned in the video, this “feature” is probably intended by the devs..

[@laurachoy]

pls help at normal mode i have placed all it all counts to 13 but i need 14 but idk what to do PLS HELP

[@hoppie4263]

Yes your right

[@gamingtemplar9893]

Very good guide, no one made such a great guide.

[@songsayswhat]

Do you have to clear all 8 levels to get any rewards? I've done 4 and I can't claim anything. All I see are reward "previews' with no "ciam" button. (Also, this is a bad mode for F2P players who probably share artifacts and weapons among characters & may very well not build every character they have.)

[@GodIsMeAndIAmGod]

How do I switch between characters for nodes. Im stuck with 13/14 when I want to switch them normal mode

[@sharkh3art]

You may need to level up another pyro electro or anemo chracter to 60+ as that one of the requirements for the normal mode.

[@paluxyl.8682]

It seems that I will play this new mode so often las the Spiral Abyss ..... that means never. I play Genshin daily since 2 years, but I can't remember been in the Abyss since a year. ^^

[@Kyosukedono]

Gonna have to correct you on something. When a new banner is out, you can try out those characters for free. In this trial, the character in question is unbelievably stacked with perfect artifacts and maxed out signature weapons. If the month long buff will indeed be an issue, it will not be because a player will become confused or "tricked" about its power because: 1. As explained, the character trial does this already. 2. In order to obtain the buff you MUST participate in the imaginarium, which has Adventurer level requirements AND it explains to you the buff when you get it. So saying a new player will pull for Xbalanque and then a month later Xbalanque will deal less damage and the player will be confused, that's not Hoyoverses fault, at that point you have to blame the extra chromosome

[@ZoField]

I dont like the idea of a buff outside of the abyss/imaginarium theater... but i am really excited for this content

[@_kettdncel2353]

Yall help, i dont get this shit. I can't do normal mode because apparently its at 13/14. how do i fix this?

[@deliro8758]

You need to build more electro, fire, anemo characters.

[@xmv19]

Just level up one more Pyro electro or anemo unit to level 60, same guess for hard mode level up your characters to 70 until u have 18 units regardless of the build/gear

[@Felicia_girl123]

I have a question, which button do I press to use my friends character?

[@divinesan7786]

Ironically, this mode encourages you to build more characters and teams

[@MG-fb4yj]

they just give that option so players with unbuilt characters like me and many people who don’t play meta can also enjoy this. if you have a problem with having built characters nobody is forcing you to use them, just bring your own which is better anyway and gives you a lot more flexibility.

[@impishtwink8144]

what exactly does endgame mode mean in this context?

[@onlypaintmode8496]

Nothing related to actual end-game, except if end-game is further explained as “gathering primo gems”.

[@phoenixlau]

It means it is balanced towards mature/invested account (endgame), rather than newer/weaker account (early/midgame). So for this mode in particular, for full reward clear it's asking your account to have a lot of built characters of various elements, something that would be easier to fulfill if you've been playing for a while and horizontally investing into many different team options.

[@crazyanimeguycag8953]

Oh bro it’s just dumb , imagine rerolling for gruper in monolith defence, it’s not even hard it’s annoying, the teams you end up with are not even real teams and yes if you don’t have enought characters your cooked ( wtf is up with must have all 4 characters) imagine if hydro was there there is like only 3 4 stars characters in that element Barbara xingqiu Candice , and most people have only xingqiu build and rest are 5 stars you not ony need decent build characters but a lot of build characters and even if I don’t have problem with that people who are not playing since beginning are cooked again , and any f2p with not so much 5 stars. In my opinion this can’t be called endgame, even abyss is less luck and more skill dependent, and that is saying something. Plus what the fu*k is with elemental rasizm like this game is about reactions what’s the point of excluding half the reactions every month. Plus the audience of this bs of a endgame content just got halfed from people who can even 36 star abyss. Some people enjoy minmaxing that’s their main way of enjoying the game it was enought so far but now if they want to clear all endgame they can’t anymore and that’s why it sucks. Plus players build mostly for meta or characters they like and for this sh*t you need to pull even more and for characters you might not even like or that are not even that good like tf is that , that’s not even endgame that’s just a greasy greedy money grab with lowering abyss reset.
