Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks Unveil New Thespian Tricks for Imaginarium Theater

Genshin Impact will debut four new Thespian Tricks in the Imaginarium Theater for Version 5.4, with beta leaks showcasing Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu in unique poses. The Imaginarium Theater forms a core part of Genshin Impact’s endgame, emphasizing broad roster development in contrast to the Spiral Abyss, which focuses on vertical team-building strategies.

To succeed in the Imaginarium Theater’s monthly challenges, players need a robust lineup of characters across all Elements. Each month restricts players to three Elements (with minor exceptions), rewarding successful completions with cosmetic items like Envisaged Echoes and Thespian Tricks.

A screenshot from Firefly Leaks, sourced from beta servers, offers a glimpse of the new Imaginarium Theater rewards arriving in Version 5.4. These Thespian Tricks highlight Barbara, Sethos, Chiori, and Baizhu. While Chiori recently appeared in Version 5.1’s rerun, Baizhu will be available through the upcoming Chronicled Banner, enabling players to acquire him before Version 5.4.

Genshin Impact: Thespian Tricks for Version 5.4

• Barbara
• Sethos
• Chiori
• Baizhu

Chiori’s new pose in Genshin Impact is particularly striking, likely to be a fan favorite for those with the Thundering Seamstress in their roster. Chiori stands out as a top-tier investment, with her fully unlocked Constellations matching the strength of characters like Mualani and Arlecchino. While typically built for Mono Geo teams, Chiori also shines alongside Navia or as part of an off-field Double Geo core with Zhongli.

Version 5.4 is shaping up to be a lighter update compared to the current patch, with no new map, Archon Quest, Artifact Domain, or multiple new characters. However, it will feature a major Inazuma-based Flagship Event, long requested by players, and introduce Yumemizuki Mizuki, a 5-star Anemo Catalyst with her own Story Quest. The update is set to launch on February 12, 2025.
