Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Special Program #NewVersion #SpecialProgram #GenshinImpact

He comes and goes without leaving a trace

Only appearing at the most critical moments

He's highly knowledgeable

And he likes to share his observations with others...

She has a cold and stern exterior

And her spotless battle record has earned her renown throughout Fontaine...

She is an unusual-looking Melusine with an equally unique perspective on the world

And now, their voice actors have all gathered here today...

To deliver the Version 4.7 Special Program!

Woohoo! I can't believe we're actually all here

Finally!

Hello Travelers!

My name is Zach Aguilar, and I voice the male Traveler

Today, our hosts for the Special Program include...

Hello everybody! I'm Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Dainsleif!

You may know me from all those new character intro videos, and occasionally dropping lore on y'all

And I'm Sarah Williams, the voice of the head nurse at the Fortress of Meropide: Sigewinne!

She's there, keeping everybody all healthy and nice and making sure everybody feels good

And hey, everyone! I'm Crystal Lee, the voice of Fontaine's Champion Duelist: Clorinde!

Pew pew pew, let's get it!

Alright, nice! So we've got a traveler, a man of mystery, a duelist, and a healer...

I think it's the perfect adventuring party!

...Huh? What a wild coincidence, you guys!

I just received an invitational letter to a new Domain!

Yo, that's... not a coincidence

Gee willikers, where did that come from?

That's just destiny!

Yeah, definitely! Y'know... this new Domain seems to be right behind us

But in order to complete the challenge

We'll need to tackle several missions first

Then what are we waiting for? Let's do this!

Traveler, Paimon...

Would you join us, and play "Marechaussee Hunter: Judgment Day"!?

This script was adapted from the real history of the Marechaussee Hunters. You all will play the role of Hunters from a bygone era, and resolve a series of events unfolding in the capital

Many of my habits are customs I've adopted from the Marechaussee Hunter tradition. They fought against monsters, while I fight against lawbreakers

For when I draw my blade, I am but an instrument of Fontaine's law

Loaded

Time to testify

Madame Mage says that every page of a storybook is a segment of the "present"

So vast and mysterious... There must be quite a story behind this place

So, I'll explore this place with you to the end. Let's never stop hoping for victory

Way ahead of ya

Move, or be moved!

Not that I doubt your fighting ability, of course. It's just... It's so much more dangerous in there than I ever imagined

Well, if it hurts, just let me know

Let's blow bubbles

Don't be nervous! Just relax

A strange disease, one I suspect that every Fontainian suffers from

But, they don't trust me at all

Do you really think it matters whether I'm a Melusine or a human?

I don't believe Master would suddenly disappear for no reason. There must have been something she just had to do

...In the new world, they bade farewell to the shrouded sun

At last, they no longer needed to dwell on their suffering, or try to differentiate between various thoughts of blasphemy

Such was the price they paid, and thus their souls became cleansed and pure

The way he's holding his sword...

He must be a real Marechaussee Hunter

You used it yourself, didn't you? That's why you have a human appearance

That's quite the gamble... But I believe that I am the one walking into a trap

One day... I shall have my vengeance

That way, Captain Dainsleif could accomplish his own goal

The Loom of Fate has already been completed

Traveler, let me ask you this... Do you believe your sibling to have betrayed you?

Oh, it looks like our first mission is here

Fancy that!

"Assemble your team"? Ohhh, I get it!

Our first mission is to introduce the new characters

Alright, this is getting exciting!

Yeah, it is!

Alright, then!

Well, how about we start off by introducing Fontaine's strongest Champion Duelist: Clorinde!

You would say that

Mhm, it's true!

In my role as Champion Duelist, my opinions do not matter

For when I draw my blade, I am but an instrument of Fontaine's law

Ready

Where evil lurks, shoot on sight!

Those animations!

Did you see that ultimate?

So good! That ultimate is so cool!

Mhm. Clorinde's strength actually has a really interesting origin

She inherited it from the Marechaussee Hunters

Oooh, the Hunters from the Artifact set!

The Marechaussee Hunters were an organization that defeated monsters and upheld justice from the shadows

I think the group's name has also been mentioned in some of Fontaine's historical records

Exactly. The Marechaussee Hunters have a long history

To modern-day Fontainians, they're nothing more than an old legend from novels and plays

But for Clorinde, the Marechaussee Hunters' legacy is really... real

If Travelers want to learn more about the Marechaussee Hunters

Then be sure to check out Clorinde's Story Quest in the new version!

I wanna learn more about the Marechaussee Hunters

Perfect! Then let's get into her combat abilities!

Clorinde is categorized as an Electro sword user

But she actually uses both a sword and a pistolet to attack her enemies during combat

Now, her Normal Attack deals Physical DMG by performing up to five consecutive strikes

During her Charged Attack, Clorinde uses her pistolet to target enemies in a V-shape in front of her

Also, Clorinde has developed a special ritual over the years

She always polishes her weapon before each duel

That is so dignified of her

I know, right?

And kind of adorable! Even the Champion Duelist of Fontaine has a cute side, huh?

Haha, Sarah is starting to sound just like Sigewinne

Oh, whaaat?

Though it's probably a meaningful ritual for Clorinde, right?

That's exactly right. It's a habit that helps Clorinde focus on the opponent in front of her

In fact, Clorinde's Elemental Skill "Hunter's Vigil"

Is an ability that demonstrates how potent she can be when she's focused

Check this out. During combat, unleashing Clorinde's Elemental Skill will cause her to enter the "Night Vigil" state

During this state, Clorinde can unleash two different types of special attacks

Her Normal Attacks will be converted into "Swift Hunt" pistolet attacks

And her Elemental Skill will be converted into a lunging attack, "Impale the Night"

Huh, it looks like Clorinde gains a Bond of Life during her Elemental Skill

Does the skill have any additional effects?

Oh, good perception on those eyes! Those "Swift Hunt" pistolet attacks increase Clorinde's Bond of Life

And her lunging attack, "Impale the Night," will clear the Bond of Life

Wait, so... she accumulates the Bond with one hand, and then clears it with the other?

Oh hey, that's a really good explanation!

Yeah, Clorinde's special attacks have different effects depending on the value of her Bond of Life

So when her Bond of Life is like, relatively low

Her "Swift Hunt" pistolet attacks have a piercing effect and they deal greater DMG

But when her Bond of Life is relatively high

Her lunging attack, "Impale the Night," has a greater AoE and deals higher DMG

Ah, gotcha. I get it! So Clorinde is meant to use her pistolet to accumulate a Bond of Life

And then use her sword to clear it once it reaches a certain amount!

That way, both attacks benefit each other!

Bingo! Though you should remember the effect of one of Clorinde's unique Talents

So when she's in the "Night Vigil" state

Any healing other than the one provided by her lunging attack "Impale the Night"

Will be converted into a Bond of Life

This unique Talent allows different healing effects to alter the pacing of Clorinde's gameplay

So Travelers can experiment with a variety of different tactical combinations!

That's cool

Also, although Clorinde is most renowned as a Champion Duelist

She has never forgotten her identity as a Marechaussee Hunter

So during her Elemental Burst "Last Lightfall"

Clorinde draws on her Marechaussee Hunter heritage

To unleash an ancient skill that empowers mortals to fight deadly monsters

This ability allows her to swiftly evade enemy attacks and strike her opponents

Her Burst deals AoE Electro DMG and grants her a Bond of Life based on her Max HP

Wow, that's so cool!

But if that power is designed to fight monsters

Is it really okay for her to use it in a regular duel?

Haha, good point. I think Clorinde just has to adjust the... ah, amount of force that she puts behind those blows

Hah! That makes sense!

Also, Clorinde can draw on the strength of her companions

After unlocking her Passive Talent "Dark-Shattering Flame"

Man, that sounds cool

So when a nearby party member triggers an Electro-related reaction

The Electro DMG dealt by her Normal Attack and her Elemental Burst will increase based on her ATK value

Though, note: There is a ceiling to the DMG Bonus that she can gain from this effect

Clorinde also has another Passive Talent called "Lawful Remuneration"

If her Bond of Life is greater than or equal to a certain percentage

Then a change in her Bond of Life value will increase her CRIT Rate

That's right! And while she's in the "Night Vigil" state

The percentage of healing converted into a Bond of Life will increase

And finally, being a Champion Duelist gives Clorinde a strong familiarity with all the regions of Fontaine

So when she's in your party, Clorinde can reveal the locations of Fontaine regional resources on the mini-map

So awesome!

I'm sure that Travelers will be eager to use her to uncover treasure, defeat monsters, and of course, uphold justice!

Not necessarily in that order!

So, so so so so... Clorinde is usually pretty stern and composed as a Champion Duelist

But I wonder how she unwinds?

Like, does she have any hobbies?

I'm sure that she has some interests outside of work

I mean, she's always accepting cosmetic products from Sigewinne and making sure to return the favor 'cause she's sweet

Aww... And yeah, of course she does!

Clorinde is an active member of the "Tabletop Troupe" during her off-hours

So in Version 4.7, Travelers won't just have the chance

To learn more about the Marechaussee Hunters during her Story Quest, the Rapperia Chapter

They'll also get to join Clorinde on a very special "Tabletop Troupe" adventure!

Woah, I love TTRPGs so much!

Oooh, I know I'm so excited!

Yeah! And... with all of that, that is all the information that I have to share about Clorinde

So... Next up, let's introduce our adorable little Sigewinne!

Oh, yes yes! Okay, sorry. Too excited! Hold on, hold on. We gotta look at her demo first!

Yes!

You only get one body, so you gotta take care of it. But it's just as important to take care of your mind

Hold still

You might feel a little prick

She's so cute, it's unreal!

I love her pills so much!

Wow! Cuteness overload!

The bubble has ears on it!

I would love to ride around on a bubble like that

She's... with her little legs dangling in the air

Yeah! With the bubble gun and the giant syringe?

Gah! That is so cute!

Those bubbles are so big! Her kit looks really, really fun

But... But if that's the syringe that she uses on her patients

I can see why they might be nervous about getting sick

Oh, for sure!

Hey, sometimes you gotta take your medicine

Since she's the head nurse at the Fortress of Meropide

Sigewinne wants everyone to stay healthy

She believes that taking care of your body is the most important goal

But she often encounters people who overwork themselves in the production zone

So she always tries to sneak them healthy meals

But she doesn't think that's a substitute for some proper rest

I'm gonna take a page outta her book

Yeah. Seems like you'll need to be well-fed and well-rested if you want to keep up with Sigewinne!

For sure! She seems like such a caring and attentive person!

But then, what's she like when she fights?

Well, Sigewinne is a Hydro bow user

Her Normal Attack unleashes up to three consecutive attacks

During the second and third attack, Sigewinne takes out a pill and tosses it at her opponent

I saw that in the demo. It's like she's literally telling her opponents to take their medicine!

Look at the size of that thing!

She can make Aimed Shots using her Charged Attack

Once the shot is held and fully charged

Sigewinne's bow will fire slow-moving "Mini-Stration Bubbles"

Dealing Hydro DMG to her target

Just make sure not to release her arrow!

Oh, and also, Sigewinne uses a specially-made bubble gun

To fire a giant Bolstering Bubblebalm during her Elemental Skill "Rebound Hydrotherapy"

The projectile bounces between nearby opponents

Dealing Hydro DMG to anyone it touches and restoring HP to all nearby party members. Well, except for Sigewinne herself

Sigewinne will be healed a certain amount of health when the Bolstering Bubblebalm disappears

Which is based on her Max HP

Bolstering Bubblebalm. Say that three times fast

Oh, please. Don't make me

You know... Travelers could have a bubble-blowing contest with their Sigewinnes

Wouldn't that be great? You can have that idea for free

It's exactly like blowing bubbles!

The longer you hold her Elemental Skill, the larger the bubble grows

Once the projectile is released, it will gradually decrease in size as it bounces around

The bigger the bubble, the greater the DMG and healing effect

And if a large bubble hits a weaker enemy, they'll be trapped inside

Guys, it's like she's trapping them in a cage of kindness

Like the Hydro Abyss Mage?

You can tell she cares about her bedside manner. It's so strong

Hey, wait a second. Are those the orbs that Neuvillette drops?

It looks like Sigewinne creates two Sourcewater Droplets when she fires a bubble

And it looks like she gains a Bond of Life when she touches them?

How does that work?

Ah, I can explain that as well

Since she has training as a nurse, Sigewinne understands how to make the most of a dire situation

Her Elemental Skill creates Sourcewater Droplets

And Sigewinne can give herself a Bond of Life by absorbing them

When that Bond of Life is cleared

Sigewinne can regain some Elemental Energy based on the value of the Bond of Life

Neat

Ahh, so Sigewinne's healing can nullify her Bond of Life

And she can restore Energy for herself!

Nice

That's right!

While the Bond of Life is hazardous to most people

It can actually be perceived as a real advantage for Sigewinne

After she unlocks her Talent "Detailed Diagnosis, Thorough Treatment"

Sigewinne's healing will be increased based on the total Bond of Life values across all the characters in her party

Oh, thank goodness. Sounds like a Melusine can make the Bond of Life a lot less scary!

After using her Elemental Burst and absorbing nearby Sourcewater Droplets

Sigewinne will use a syringe to spray enemies in front of her

This attack deals continuous Hydro DMG

Wait, that's so cute! Even her attacks are a form of medical treatment!

And a huge syringe

Yeah! I mean, hey, she just wants everyone to be as healthy as possible!

Yeah, right? Sigewinne wants every patient to get a proper amount of rest

After unlocking her Passive Talent "Requires Appropriate Rest"

Unleashing her Elemental Skill will also trigger the "Semi-Strict Bedrest" effect

This effect will grant her a Hydro DMG Bonus and several stacks of "Convalescence"

When non-active characters deal DMG with their off-field Elemental Skills

Sigewinne can consume a stack of "Convalescence" to increase that Elemental Skill DMG

I like how it's only semi-strict

Like... y'know, not "super-strict." 'Cause she couldn't be super strict

Just a little

Wow, so it seems like the Bond of Life mechanic is pretty integral to both Sigewinne and Clorinde's kits

That sure was a lot of information, though

I can't wait to see these abilities in action

And Travelers won't just be limited to the playstyles that they've seen here, right?

As I understand it, the mechanics leave a lot of room for open experimentation?

Yeah, yeah!

Right

And outside of combat, Melusines are very connected to the ocean

So Sigewinne always takes care of her companions during underwater exploration

Sigewinne is especially helpful when her friends are endangered by underwater enemies

She can use her "Emergency Dose" Talent to continuously restore HP to her party member for a period of time

Unfortunately, doing so will lower all of their Elemental and Physical RES

There's always a price

Cool, that seems like a skill that would come in handy, though!

Sigewinne is always looking out for us!

Thanks, head nurse!

Haha, of course!

Oh, and I've got a quick question for you all

Yes

Have you noticed any differences between Sigewinne and other Melusines?

Ahh... Well, I think her appearance and interests definitely stand out

Like, if you ignore the tail and the feelers on her head

Then she actually doesn't look that different from a human child

Right

How could you ignore those?

Right?

Fair. But also, she's interested in beauty, and she knows a lot about skincare

And she actually even contributes to the most famous beauty magazine in Fontaine

I did not know that

Oh, oh, oh! And her medical knowledge!

We haven't encountered any other Melusines who give medical treatment to humans

And Sigewinne seems to care the most about the people of Fontaine

And she's also one of the few Melusines who work in the Fortress of Meropide, right?

Right

I mean, generally speaking, not many people are willing to treat criminals

Not even a Melusine's open-mindedness usually goes that far, right?

Sigewinne's does. You're all bringing up great points

Don't you think that Sigewinne's differences from the other Melusines

Make her seem more unique and approachable at the same time?

In the Nereides Chapter

Travelers will have the chance to learn more about the background of this very special Melusine in her personal Story Quest!

Aw, that's awesome!

Hey, speaking of Story Quests... didn't Travelers meet a mysterious youngster last version?

Sometime during Cyno's Story Quest?

Well, Travelers will now have the opportunity to add him to their parties!

He recently left the desert, and he's eager to travel around!

So... Zach, why don't you introduce him!

Go Zach!

Oh, me? Uh, okay, then

Let's take a look at Sethos's demo!

If you're always asking "Why?", you end up thinking yourself into a corner

Sometimes, it's better to let go

Gimme some space

Glory to Al-Ahmar!

His design is so cool!

He looks amazing

The clothes and the hair, I love it

Right?

Sethos didn't just get power and wisdom from his desert heritage

He's also talented in archery

Sethos has always loved hiking, and he has a great sense of direction

Whether he's exploring the desert or the rainforest

He knows the roads like the back of his hand

And he always knows where to find the best regional specialties

Yeah. You probably know where this is going, but I'll say it anyway...

When Sethos is in your team

He'll reveal the location of Sumeru regional specialties on the mini-map

Nice

Cool

Wait, so I'm curious

He's lived in a remote desert for his entire life

And he carries the weight of such an ancient legacy

To me, it seems like someone with that kind of upbringing would either be like really introverted or just super arrogant?

But Sethos doesn't seem like that at all

Yeah, you're absolutely right

Sethos is a very open-minded and cheerful person

As the successor to the mysterious Temple of Silence

He had more educational opportunities than other people who live in Sumeru's desert

His responsibilities drive him to learn about other people and places

He has a very open mind, and he tries to be optimistic

In fact, his personality is a huge help in getting along with other people

So wait, that sounds like... Are you saying he's a social butterfly?

Heh, I guess? He's a pretty busy guy

And he lives a pretty varied lifestyle

And he's around the same age as the General Mahamatra Cyno

He occasionally visits the Akademiya

He's always trying to make friends in Sumeru City

And he enjoys browsing goods at the Grand Bazaar

But we've already talked a lot about his hobbies

Let's move on to what he can do in combat

Yes!

Sethos's Aimed Shot has a special variant when charged to Level 2

He can't move when his attack is charged to its second level

But it allows him to fire a powerful Shadowpiercing Shot that can pierce enemies

Dealing Electro DMG to targets in its path

Sethos's Talent "Black Kite's Enigma"

Can decrease the charging time of his Aimed Shot by consuming Elemental Energy

Some Elemental Energy will also be consumed after releasing the shot

Nice

Oooh, useful

And also, I noticed that his Aimed Shots take a really long time to charge?

So I think that means players need to store up Elemental Energy to fire the Shadowpiercing Shot faster, right?

Hey, wait a minute. I feel like this is the first Genshin Impact character who actually consumes Elemental Energy while firing Aimed Shots...

What!

Yeah, you're right on!

That's why Sethos has an Elemental Skill that helps him restore Elemental Energy

Useful

It's an ancient ritual that deals AoE Electro DMG

And it also restores Elemental Energy whenever a hit on an enemy

Triggers an Overloaded, Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Electro-Swirl, Quicken, Aggravate, or Hyperbloom reaction

That's a lot

But Travelers also have another option for firing powerful shots

By unleashing his Elemental Burst

Sethos will perform an ancient ritual that was passed down from King Deshret's era

He will enter the "Twilight Meditation" state

Converting his Normal Attacks to enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts that deal increased DMG

Based on his Elemental Mastery

That's... That's cool, that sounds like a mini version of the "Shadowpiercing Shot"

Only it doesn't take as much time to fire

Useful!

Okay, also... it seems like the records of King Deshret have a lot of powerful abilities. So, uh... between you and me...

Does that mean that Sethos has mastered other mysterious rituals and techniques?

Of course! I'm sure that the Temple of Silence has a whole archive of secrets!

One of his other Talents will also increase the DMG dealt by his Shadowpiercing Shot

For a period of time based on his Elemental Mastery

Okay, alright... It sounds like the Temple of Silence has a real impressive legacy!

No kidding!

So many ancient rituals...

Sethos is definitely a talented fighter who can make full use of his martial heritage

He's similar to Clorinde in that sense!

Yeah

Oh, wow! We finished the first mission!

Nice! I wonder what the next one is gonna be! Let's get it!

Oh! It looks like we'll have to uncover "hidden secrets" in our next mission

Why are all you guys looking at me?

Well, I mean... secrets are kind of your area of expertise

Mhm, mhm

All your character does is speak in riddles

Speak plainly, sir!

That's a good point

Okay, well... I guess I'm the only one who can shed some light on the hidden secrets...

Oh, here he goes...

Ooh

Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act VI, "Bedtime Story," will become available in Version 4.7

Travelers will finally reunite with Dainsleif

Heeyyy

Who will share more information about Khaenri'ah's past

Ooh

That's what you guys were waiting for, right?

Mhm, mhm

Yeah. And... also I, y'know, got to break out my voice acting skills for this patch, you guys!

Oh my gosh! Words come out of your mouth?

Hell yeah

Yeah you did!

Oh, yeah! This time, Aether and Lumine will get to meet face-to-face!

Oooh!

And based on what we heard in the trailer

It seems like the Loom of Fate is now complete

So Travelers can look forward to learning more about Caribert in this quest...

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...

Ah, ah...

We can't... We just can't reveal everything right now

Oh!

Leave some secrets, for me

These are important secrets that Travelers should uncover for themselves

Oh, okay. Okay

You can call off the snipers. Call off the snipers!

Right?

Look, look. I know, I get it. That everyone can barely contain their excitement

So, I will throw you a bone

To help tide you over until the next update, I'll be sharing a special surprise with y'all

Oh?

Hm?

What is it?

Come on!

Oh, I love surprises!

It is... You'll know very soon, I promise!

Arghhhh...

But first... First, first, first, first, we need to introduce the Event Wishes

Oooh! Okay. Okay, okay

So in the first phase of Version 4.7

Clorinde and Alhaitham will be featured in the Event Wishes

Heh hee...

Yeah. Sethos will be the new 4-star unit that appears on this Event Wish banner

Mhm, mhm

And, in the second phase of the version

Travelers can look forward to Event Wishes from Sigewinne and Furina

Yes yes yes yes yes...

Nice

-And... because there's never enough... a new 5-star sword "Absolution" -Gorgeous!

-And a new 5-star bow "Silvershower Heartstrings" -Oh, it's so cute!

Will also be featured on their respective weapon banners

They look so good!

It's got a heart and everything!

Ah, it's so cool

So good, right?

So cute!

Alright, okay, okay. I've made y'all wait long enough

Let's bring out the surprise!

Yes!

Finally!

I hope everyone enjoys it!

Let's go!

Welcome back, Travelers!

Thank you, thank you

Ey, ey, ey

I think it's about time we introduce this Domain behind us!

Yes! Yes! Bring on the challenge! I'm soooo ready!

Dun dun duuuun!

You sound ready

The location of this challenge seems pretty intriguing

Paimon and the Traveler discovered a secret room within the Mondstadt library

Oooh

And they've received an invitation to participate in a mysterious performance

Ah, I love secret rooms in libraries. I've always wanted one

So that's right. The all-new event "Imaginarium Theater"

Will become available in Version 4.7

For Travelers who are Adventure Rank 35 or higher

Nice... So wait, this is a library?

Mhm

Wow

The coolest library

I know! It looks a lot different from what I imagined. It's huge!

Yeah, it kinda looks more like a magic castle

Mhm

Right? So cool. I would live there

Please

So Travelers will encounter a concierge in the area who calls himself "Wolfy"

Aww

I know! He's so cute

Wolfy!

He'll reveal that this room was created by a mage

And that he's waiting for a guest to take the stage

He is also a poet

That guest will hopefully put on a magnificent performance by becoming the main character of the mage's story

Bring on that main character energy!

Mhm

Oooh. After arriving in this room

Travelers just need to interact with this strange book

In order to participate in the "Imaginarium Theater" challenge

Wow, that was fast

But what kind of challenge is it?

Well, let me tell you

"Imaginarium Theater" contains a series of combat challenges with different battle conditions

Now, only characters who wield specific Elemental Types will be allowed to participate

So Travelers will have to select characters who meet the requirements of the challenge

Oh, I get it. But what if we don't have enough characters in our roster who meet the requirements?

Aha, good thinking. But you won't have to worry about that

Because first off, six characters will be designated as the initial lineup for each challenge

Trial characters will be provided for Travelers that are missing any of those characters

Noice

And Travelers can also invite special guest characters to participate in the challenges that aren't restricted by the event requirements

Oooh

In addition, Travelers can also designate a certain number of characters as supports for their friends

They can also select their friends' supporting characters to join their own team

That's a nice way to get to try new characters

Right? Friends. Friends. Who would say no to more friends?

Friends supporting each other in staged combat!

Friends helping each other

And during the current challenge period, those six designated characters who make the initial lineup

Will gain "Fantastical Blessings"

This will grant them buffs that remain potent even outside of the "Imaginarium Theater" challenge

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're saying that those buffs aren't just active during the challenge itself?

Yes!

Wow

You're kidding. Wait, okay. The mage behind this theater must be super powerful

Oh, suuuuper powerful. And I know that everyone's probably wondering why it looked like we had to select so many characters just now

But characters will consume "Vigor" while participating in "Imaginarium Theater" combat challenges

So when a character's "Vigor" is fully depleted, they will no longer be able to fight

Ahhh

And you will have to replace them with a new character

It's time for some R&R

Mhm

Ahh, I get it

So when you select your characters

You have to pay attention to how well they work together

Yes

And also how well they can fill in for each other

Exactly

It involves strategy

And I should also mention that not all selected characters will immediately appear in your team

Some characters can only be gathered by progressing through the story

They can formally be added to your team at the end of an "Imaginarium Theater" battle

Or when you encounter certain special events

Cool! So assembling your team is part of the challenge!

Yes! Which makes it even more fun. But let me explain a little more about the special events that I mentioned

Travelers can choose to spend "Fantasia Flowers" to trigger events during the story

Now, some events will unlock certain characters for battle

And others may trigger certain perils

Uh-oh

So doom!

So Travelers will have to choose very carefully

No pressure!

Right?

Travelers can collect "Performance Tour Rewards" by completing challenges and finalizing their performance results

The first time they complete a challenge, Travelers will also receive a "Debut Performance Gift"

Ooh, presents

Travelers who feel particularly confident can try to attain the "Star Challenge" condition during each stage

They'll be able to obtain different levels of Performance Medals that correspond with the difficulty of the challenge

These medals can be displayed on their profile

Go ahead and show off!

And that's not all, right?

Travelers can also obtain "Toy Medals" during this event, which they can exchange with Wolfy the concierge

Aww

In return, Travelers will receive special poses for their characters when taking photos!

Aww, awesome! Travelers will be able to take all sorts of new cool pictures!

I'm excited to see new poses!

So hyped

Mmm, me too! And also, more poses will be added whenever "Imaginarium Theater" is updated!

Yes. And finally, each performance in the "Imaginarium Theater" has several difficulty levels

And each one has a different number of challenges

Higher difficulty levels will yield even better rewards!

Bring it on!

As Wolfy the concierge likes to say

"When the brilliant golden glow of the treasure beckons

Don't you hesitate, just go open it!"

Aww!

How can he be so cute?

That's amazing

I dunno. Somehow, I still didn't make him as cute as he actually is

Of course

It'll take time for Travelers to raise the necessary characters

And understand how they fit into this new challenge

And I'm sure Travelers are always looking for ways to get more Primogems...

Always!

You just said the magic worrdddd

Primogems! Gimme, gimme, gimme

Each month, "Imaginarium Theater" will alternate updates with the "Spiral Abyss"

In addition, the total rewards that can be gained from the "Spiral Abyss" has been increased from 600 Primogems to 800 Primogems!

Ahhh, nice

Mwah. Yes!

Yeah! More information will be available across Genshin Impact's official social media accounts. So keep a lookout!

Oh, the background is changing!

Ooh, here we go, here we go!

Let's see what else this version has in store!

Yes please!

"Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation"?

Huh. I see some hilichurls and Ruin Guards

So I'm assuming this is one of those monster-fighting events

Yes! Sort of! Travelers won't be engaging monsters directly

Instead, they'll be able to command monsters to fight in a cooperative simulation

The Millelith will be hosting a strategic war game

To improve their understanding of security needs throughout Teyvat

They'll be accompanied by representatives from Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius

Inazuma's Yashiro Commission, Sumeru's Corps of Thirty, and Fontaine's Special Patrol

Their joint exercise is intended to improve military tactics across the continent

Sir yes sir!

Very official!

Wow. You're making this event sound really official

That was my official voice

I'm just doing my best

As I was saying, you can play two different kinds of scenarios in the event: Assault Scenarios and Defense Scenarios

As special representatives to the simulation

Travelers will need to analyze enemy formations

And deploy the best units for completing the challenge

In Assault Scenarios

You only need to select your combat units and deploy them within your staging area

So, once the scenario begins, the unit will automatically start attacking your opponents

So sit back and... I don't know if you can relax when these things are coming at you, but try!

Clearly not

Oh, okay, I'm gonna give this a try

Ooh brave!

Huh? How come my hilichurl archers got wiped out so quickly?

Oh no. Okay sorry, sorry! I forgot to mention something important

You know!

I know, I know. But here we can fix it now

Some types of combat units are more effective against others

Ranged units like hilichurl archers are vulnerable to melee units like Mitachurls
