Imaginarium Theater Gameplays & Tips
| Procedure | |
|---|---|
| 1 | ▼ Preparation Phase - Select characters that you will use in the performances. - There are 2 types: Opening Cast & Alternate Cast |
| 2 | ▼ Challenge Phase - Select special events and buffs. - Complete combat performances. |
| 3 | Finalization Phase - Obtain rewards |
Preparation Phase
6 Characters Will Be Pre-Selected As Opening Characters
At the start of the Preparation Phase, specific characters will be assigned as opening characters. You cannot choose any character outside the assigned one but if you do not have the character, a Trial version of the character can also be selected.
Select Trial Version If Your Character Is Not Properly Built
If you are not confident about your build for the character, select the Trial character version of that character as the power of the Trial character is enough to clear stages.
For Alternate Cast, You Can Only Use Specific Elements Or Special Guest Stars
After choosing Opening Characters, you will select 12 Alternate Cast. You can only choose the characters that belongs to the element specified for that month. The Special Guest Stars are exception to this rule and they can be chosen as an Alternate Cast.
You Can Add 1 Supporting Cast From Friend's Character
You can also borrow one 'Supporting Cast' from your Friends which will serve as Alternate Cast. The Support Cast will have the same Constellation and Build from your Friends's profile so it is also a decent way to try higher constellation characters (If your friends have one).
Search for friends on the Supporting Cast Thread below:
Imaginarium Theater Supporting Cast ThreadWhen Selecting Characters, Balance Between Supports & Damage Characters
Because you cannot manually select which Alternate Cast will appear to use, you need to balance between healers and damage dealers. Since you can choose 12 Alternate Cast, 4 per roles: DPS, Sub-DPS, and Sustain is ideal.
New Visionary Mode Provides A Challenge
Visionary Mode is a new difficulty added which is even more challenging than Hard Mode. To unlock this, simply complete the Hard Mode of the Normal Difficulty series in any season of the Imaginarium Theater.
| Visionary Mode Requirement |

Challenge Phase
Types Of Event Cards
| Type | Effect |
|---|---|
| Companion | - Allows you to add the Alternate Cast to the selection (Depending on Kind). ↳ Alternate Cast can only be selected by losing all vigors of an Opening Cast's vigor. |
| Battle | - Battle challenge that will progress the Act. - Can be a Boss, Defense, Elite or Normal. |
| Wondrous Boon | - Gives Buffs / additional effect to characters. |
| Mystery Cache | - Gives Buff or gives Companion cards. - Sometimes have negative effects. |
Do A Combat Event To Progress
To progress the act in the Challenge Phase, you need to complete one Battle challenge. Doing other non-combat events will not progress the act so using all of your points to invite characters or gain buff is recommended.
Mystery Cache Sometimes Have Negative Effects
While not always, Mystery Cache sometimes have effects that makes the challenge more difficult. Make sure to read the effects thoroughly before choosing Event Cards.
Characters Used In Battle Events Lose Vigor
Each character will have 2 Vigor at the start of each performance in Imaginarium Theater. They will lose a Vigor every time they complete a battle challenge.
If they lose all 2 Vigors, the character cannot be selected and will not appear in the character selection screen. While random, the vigor is sometimes restored by getting specific Event Cards.
Boss Battle Happens Every Act 3, 6, and 8
Every 3rd, 6th and 8th act, you will be facing a boss battle. The line-up of bosses that you will face in these acts changes depending on the season. For tips and quick look on the boss line-up click ▲ here.
Take Note On The Performance Goals Before Starting The Battle
There are specific battle conditions to complete for rewards or additional event points. If you are just playing for the reward, clearing the first challenge per act is enough to get all rewards. At the earlier acts, doing the Bonus Challenge is important for more boons.
Star Challenges Is Mostly For Character Profile
For Star Challenges, if you are only aiming for reward, you do not need to force yourself to get all of them since they are just for Profile Showcase.
