Introduction
As we all know, Genshin received a new endgame mode recently. Today, I will show you which characters and accordingly artifacts you should invest in, if you have them, to clear the imaginarium theater consistently with the addition of the hard mode.
What does that ranking mean?
In this tierlist I tried to determine which characters you need to invest in to guarantee a full clear. Keep in mind that strong supports and dps rank higher because the new content isn't too hard to clear and in they are more important unlike the abyss. You may not see your main on top of the list even though they clear the abyss easily, but that is either because there are already other alternatives or because you need a lot more investment. Some characters are ranked high because there simply are not many alternatives to them in their element.
Your aim is to have atleast: -3 solid on-field dps from each element -4-5 supports/off-field dps -2 characters to fill, if you don't have enough characters from the other elements
Characters
Reminder
This is from my experience and that doesn't mean that you should only or should never farm certain domains. I suggest you to spent your resin wisely and focus on leveling your characters and get everyone a set which is at least usable which means right main stat and enough ER. Of course, most DPS characters want more than that but this should be the threshold for most characters.
Which artifacts should you farm and which one to strongbox?
These artifacts should be farmed in the domains because they are efficient to farm or you can't get them via strongbox, which means the other set is also good to have e.g. 2pc effect gives ATK buff
Final thoughts
I think, that the new endgame is not that hard to clear if you just have enough characters with decent builds. Just level your characters and their talents enough as well as their weapons then farm some artifacts. At the end of the day, you can use who you want, just have enough investment.
