Leading terms of asymptotic expansions for the general complex solutions of the fifth Painlev\'e equation as $t\to\imath\infty$ are found. These asymptotics are parameterized by monodromy data of the associated linear ODE. $$ \frac{d}{d\lambda}Y= \left(\frac t2\sigma_3 + \frac{A_0}\lambda+\frac{A_1}{\lambda-1}\right)Y. $$ The parametrization allows one to derive connection formulas for the asymptotics. We provide numerical verification of the results. Important special cases of the connection formulas are also considered.
