The latest Imaginarium Theater update in Version 6.1 is now live. Lunar Mode is already available, and this version keeps its higher difficulty, requiring 28 to 32 characters for 12 combat acts. Compared to Excellence Mode, it needs six more characters but still rewards an extra 200 Primogems per run and a 300 Primogem bonus for first completion.
The Imaginarium Theater is among Genshin Impact's most thrilling seasonal challenges, combining unique mechanics, rotating elemental restrictions, and a well - selected cast. Success relies on understanding seasonal rules, using elemental reactions well, and making smart team - building choices with limited rosters. In this guide, we'll cover essential strategies, boss mechanics, and character recommendations to help you master each act, whether for smooth clears or high scores, maximizing your roster's potential.

Act highlights & Boss tactics
Act 3
|
Primo Geovishap |
|||
|
Primo Geovishap has 30% Electro RES and 50% Geo RES, making it a poor match for this round’s restricted elements. It can absorb elements and unleash a charged breath attack infused with different elements. When this attack hits a shielded character, part of the damage is reflected back. If the shield element matches the breath or is Geo, the reflected damage is increased. Tip: Bring a shielder and counter its charged breath with shields. |

Act 6
|
Aeonblight Drake |
|||
|
Aeonblight Drake gains 100% increased resistance before it is fully activated and can absorb energy to boost its Elemental RES based on the last element it was hit by. It switches between aerial and ground combat, periodically releasing powerful energy attacks. During the fight, glowing cores will appear on its body under certain conditions. Destroying these cores can paralyze it and remove its resistance buff. Tip: Use aerial DPS early, shoot its weak points to force it down, and break its cores whenever possible to cancel its resistance buffs and control the fight. |

Act 8
|
Solitary Suanni |
|||
|
Solitary Suanni has 70% Hydro and Anemo resistance and alternates between Hydro and Anemo forms. During each Ultimate, it gains a massive resistance boost, triggering Hydro form at 70% HP and Anemo form at 40% HP, both of which can be interrupted to remove the buff and stun the boss. Tip: Use a Cryo unit to freeze it in Hydro form and swirl the Gale Orbs in Anemo form to remove its buffs and keep the fight under control. |

Act 10
|
Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King |
|||
|
The boss has very high HP and uses Flamegranates to fuel an Ultimate, dealing massive Pyro damage based on how many it swallows. Ignited granates reduce its HP and can explode, damaging both it and nearby characters. In Abyss mode, it starts with an Ultimate equivalent to swallowing three granates. Tip: Avoid its opening triple breath, ignite Flamegranates with Pyro to punish its Ultimate, and stay positioned to minimize explosion damage. |

Lunar Mode: Arcana Challenges
Arcana Challenge 1
|
Ruin Grader |
Ruin Guard |
Ruin Drake: Skywatch |
Ruin Drake: Earthguard |
|||
|
Players face a series of Ruin enemies on a six-minute timer with constant HP drain. Each boss exposes cores at certain moments, and Ruin Drakes boost RES based on the last element hit. Hitting these weak points is essential to clear the challenge efficiently. Tip: Focus on hitting exposed cores quickly, manage survivability against constant HP drain, and defeat each enemy within 10 seconds for a top rating. |

Arcana Challenge 2
|
Consecrated Scorpion |
Consecrated Fanged Beast |
|||
|
Each 2.2 million HP Consecrated Beast can enter Phagocytic form and spawn Energy Blocks. Destroying the blocks with the correct element absorbs their power, which can be unleashed on the boss to deal heavy damage and briefly paralyze it. Tip: Quickly destroy Energy Blocks and unleash their power on the boss with a high-DPS team to defeat all enemies within 70 seconds for a Star Rank.
