Envisaged Echoes are character trail effects obtained through the Imaginarium Theater in Genshin Impact. See previews of Envisaged Echoes for the available characters, and how to unlock them here!

Envisaged Echoes Domain Guides

Diluc

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Light up all the Pyro Monuments within a short time Phase 02 • Defeat 10 Enemies within 70 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • Characters will periodically regenerate energy Phase 02 • None
Recommended Weapons	1. Redhorn Stonethresher 2. Beacon of the Reed Sea 3. Wolf's Gravestone 4. Serpent Spine ▲Since you will be fighting alone, we recommend weapons that provide CRIT Stats, or have high personal damage and benefits for Diluc.
Recommended Artifacts	Crimson Witch of Flames x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 Gladiator's Finale x4 ▲Due to Diluc not having access to any Elemental Reactions, we recommend running 2-pc. combinations of Pyro DMG and ATK, or even a 4-pc. set of Gladiator's Finale to boost his own personal damage.
Guidelines	As a general rule of thumb, try to focus on building ATK and CRIT for this challenge. Due to the mechanics of the domain challenge, you can forego both Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery.

The Dark Side of Dawn Guide

Kirara

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Collect 73 Electro particles within 120 seconds Phase 02 • Defeat 3 enemies within 60 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None Phase 02 • Enemies will be affected by Hydro
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword 2. Key of Khaj-Nisut 3. Iron Sting 4. Xiphos' Moonlight ▲During Phase 2, Kirara will have to constantly apply Dendro to the opponents, which makes Sacrifical Sword the prime choice to take here.
Recommended Artifacts	Deepwood Memories x4 ▲As most of Kirara's damage in the second phase will be Dendro, picking Deepwood Memories as your artifact set will help boost its damage and give you a better chance at clearing within the time limit.
Guidelines	Try to focus on stacking Kirara's HP to build up her shields, as the self-bloom damage in Phase 2 may also prove deadly to you.

Cat Upon the Eaves Guide

Ningguang

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Defeat 12 enemies while protecting the Monolith
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None
Recommended Weapons	1. Tulaytullah's Remembrance 2. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 3. Memory of Dust 4. Ballad of the Boundless Blue ▲This is a DPS check with Skill Knowledge, so we recommend packing a 5-star weapon that either boosts Ningguang's Normal, Charged, or Elemental DMG.
Recommended Artifacts	Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods x4 Archaic Petra x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 ▲Go for either of these sets, whichever has better substats as the only thing Ningguang needs here is good ATK, and good CRIT stats.
Guidelines	Enemies will try to focus down the Monolith in the center. Use Ningguang's Jade Screen to cut off their ranged attacks while you deal with the melee units first.

Eclipsing Star Guide

Qiqi

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Light up all the Cryo Monuments within a short time Phase 02 • Defeat 1 enemy within 90 seconds
Special Rules	Phase 01 • None Phase 02 • All Party Members periodically lose HP • Enemy Physical and Cryo resistance increased
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword ▲During Phase 2, having Qiqi's Elemental Skill up will be necessary for her survival, so the Sacrificial Sword is your best option here.
Recommended Artifacts	Ocean-Hued Clam x4 Song of Days Past x4 ▲Take advantage of the arena's decaying HP mechanic to empower Qiqi's Elemental Skill to do damage. Using 4-pc. Song of Days Past can especially help in damage contribution if you have it available.
Guidelines	Stack up on ATK in Qiqi's artifacts and weapons to ensure that she can keep both her and Fischl in healthy conditions, as you will need both units to complete this challenge.

Qiqi Rating and Best Builds

Jean

Challenge Objectives	Phase 01 • Protect the target and defeat all opponents
Special Rules	Phase 01 • Your character will be periodically inflicted with Smoldering Flames during this challenge, causing you to continuously take Pyro DMG until the inflicted element is removed.
Recommended Weapons	1. Sacrificial Sword ▲The gimmick here is to toss enemies away using Jean's Elemental Skill, so having the Sacrificial Sword allows for more frequent usage of this skill.
Recommended Artifacts	Emblem of Severed Fate x2 Maiden Beloved x2 Emblem of Severed Fate x2 Gladiator's Finale x2 ▲Due to the Smoldering Flames, you want to be able to use your Elemental Burst as often as possible to cleanse the Smoldering Flame aura off of you for a short time, as well as healing you.
Guidelines	We recommend focusing on your Energy Recharge to keep yourself alive. As you will be dealing with enemies via throwing them away with your Elemental Skill, you can forego damage stats.
