Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Leak Reveals New Imaginarium Theater Thespian Tricks

Leaked information suggests Genshin Impact's Version 5.4 update will introduce new Thespian Tricks at the Imaginarium Theater, showcasing unique poses for Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu. The Imaginarium Theater is a key endgame component, complementing the Spiral Abyss by requiring diverse character investment across various elements.

Monthly Imaginarium Theater challenges necessitate a roster of characters representing multiple elements. Each month presents challenges limited to three elements (with exceptions), rewarding successful completion with cosmetic items: Envisaged Echoes and Thespian Tricks.

Firefly Leaks recently unveiled screenshots from the beta, previewing the Version 5.4 Thespian Tricks for Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu. With Chiori's recent rerun and Baizhu's upcoming banner, obtaining these characters ahead of Version 5.4 is feasible.

Version 5.4 Thespian Tricks:

• Barbara
• Sethos
• Chiori
• Baizhu

Chiori's new pose is anticipated to be particularly popular. Her strength, especially with fully-constellated builds, rivals top-tier characters like Mualani and Arlecchino. While typically used in Mono Geo teams, Chiori also synergizes effectively with Navia and Zhongli in Double Geo compositions.

While Version 5.4 might seem smaller than previous updates—lacking map expansion, an Archon Quest, an Artifact Domain, and featuring only one new character—it promises a significant Inazuma-based Flagship Event, a long-awaited addition. The update also introduces the 5-star Anemo Catalyst user, Yumemizuki Mizuki, with both a role in the Flagship Event and her own Story Quest. Version 5.4's release is slated for February 12, 2025.
