Top characters to use for Genshin Impact Imaginarium Theater in August 2024

This new season of Imaginarium Theater focuses on Hydro, Cryo, and Anemo characters. Players will only be able to use characters who wield these three elements in this season of Imaginarium Theater.

Let's take a look at the top characters that can be used to clear Imaginarium Theater in August 2024, based on the elemental requirements for this season, and the characters' gameplay and combat capabilities.

1) Neuvillette (Main DPS)

Neuvillette is currently one of the best DPS characters in the game. His charged attack can defeat waves of multiple enemies in the blink of an eye, making him a very useful character to bring along for this season's Imaginarium Theater performance.

2) Ganyu (Main DPS)

There are a lot of enemies in this season of Imaginarium Theater whose shields can be broken very fast using Cryo attacks, making Ganyu an amazing choice. Certain stage objectives require players to defeat characters using charged attacks as well, which is another field where Ganyu shines.

Additionally, Ganyu's Elemental Burst creates a wide AoE in which enemies are constantly affected by Cryo, so she can be paired with any Hydro character for a perma-freeze team composition.

3) Venti (Support)

Imaginarium Theater version 4.8 has a massive number of enemies susceptible to crowd control, so Venti is a great choice for grouping multiple enemies. Adding Venti in a Neuvillette/Furina/Ganyu team ensures that you can permanently keep the enemies frozen while constantly crowd-controlling them, so they never have a chance to attack.

4) Furina (Support/Healer)

Using Furina alongside Neuvillette is a great tactic that can help you eliminate waves of enemies easily. Furina and Neuvillette are a fantastic duo, as Furina can buff Neuvillette's damage (which is already extremely high to begin with).

When choosing characters for different stages, try and save Furina till you can pair her up with Neuvillette, preferably in the last few rounds where the combat challenges are the hardest.

5) Xiao (Main DPS)

Xiao is one of the opening characters for this season of Imaginarium Theater, and building him well will definitely help you clear the first few stages of Imaginarium Theater with relative ease. For the first and second acts, you can put Xiao in a team with Xianyun and Faruzan to quickly wipe out the enemies.

6) Ayato (Main DPS)

Ayato is very useful in Freeze team comps (Image via HoYoverse)

Ayato is a very strong Hydro DPS well suited for use in Imaginarium Theater season two. Using Ayato's Elemental Burst in combination with Ganyu's Elemental Burst can keep enemies permanently frozen. He is also very flexible in terms of team composition, allowing you to use him either in a Freeze team, a Bloom team (with Special Guest Star Nahida), or even a mono-Hydro team with Childe, Furina, and Kokomi.

7) Kokomi (Healer/Support)

Kokomi can both heal and provide good Hydro application (Image via HoYoverse)

Depending on how you play Kokomi, she can be used either as a support, or purely as a healer. Either way, she is one of the best characters to use for this season of Imaginarium Theater, especially owing to her incredible Hydro application. This makes her an excellent choice in a lot of team compositions.

She can be used as a support in Freeze team compositions, thanks to her jellyfish's steady AoE Hydro application. In a mono-Hydro team, she can be used as a healer along with other DPS/sub-DPS units.

---

8) Childe (Main DPS)

Childe is a good choice in Imaginarium Theater if used in the right team comps (Image via HoYoverse)

With the focus of Imaginarium Theater version 4.8 being on Hydro, Cryo, and Anemo characters, Childe makes for an excellent choice for use in combat. His team compositions are a little limited, but if you can put him and Special Guest Star Xiangling in the same team, you can use Vaporize reactions to wipe out the enemy mobs/enemy bosses effortlessly.

---

9) Shenhe (Support)

Shenhe can help buff Cryo damage (Image via HoYoverse)

With this season of Imaginarium Theater heavily favoring Freeze team compositions, Shenhe can be a great addition to your Freeze team with Ayaka or Ganyu as your main DPS. Shenhe is an excellent Cryo damage buffer, meaning even if you get unlucky enough to be saddled with a weaker/not-as-well-built Cryo DPS on your team, she can still boost their damage significantly.

---

10) Xingqiu (Sub-DPS/Support)

Xingqiu is a very versatile 4-star character (Image via HoYoverse)

Xingqiu is always a welcome addition to any team, and the same goes for Imaginarium Theater. He fulfills multiple roles such as providing damage reduction, Hydro application, and healing as well. Even if you have already included Yelan in your Imaginarium Theater performance cast, make sure to add Xingqiu as well.
