Summary
- Genshin Impact Version 5.4 introduces new Thespian Tricks at the Imaginarium Theater, featuring unique poses for Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu.
- Monthly Imaginarium Theater challenges require diverse Elemental teams for cosmetic rewards.
Genshin Impact's Version 5.4 update brings four new Thespian Tricks to the Imaginarium Theater, as revealed in recent beta leaks. Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu will each receive unique poses. The Imaginarium Theater offers a significant endgame challenge, complementing the Spiral Abyss. Unlike the Spiral Abyss' focus on vertical team building, the Imaginarium Theater encourages horizontal roster development.
Successfully completing the monthly Imaginarium Theater challenges requires a diverse roster of Elemental characters. Each month features challenges limiting players to three Elements (with exceptions), rewarding successful completion with cosmetic items: Envisaged Echoes and Thespian Tricks.
Leaked screenshots showcase the new Version 5.4 Thespian Tricks for Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu. While Chiori recently had a rerun, Baizhu's arrival on the Chronicled Banner precedes Version 5.4, making these rewards accessible to many players.
Genshin Impact: Version 5.4 Thespian Tricks
- Barbara
- Sethos
- Chiori
- Baizhu
Chiori's new pose is particularly anticipated, given her popularity and powerful capabilities, especially with fully-constellated builds rivaling Mualani and Arlecchino. While typically used in Mono Geo teams, she also synergizes effectively with Navia and forms a strong off-field Double Geo core with Zhongli.
Version 5.4, while smaller than some updates (lacking map expansion, Archon Quest, and a new Artifact Domain, with only one new character), features a highly-requested major Flagship Event in Inazuma. This update also introduces the 5-star Anemo Catalyst, Yumemizuki Mizuki, who will star in the Flagship Event and have her own Story Quest. Version 5.4's release is scheduled for February 12, 2025.
