Hello Traveler, in this guide you will find some recommendations on characters and strategies to complete the Spiral Abyss floor 11 and 12.
If you cleared the Abyss, share the teams you used in the comments so we can help each other!
TIPS:
•To complete the higher floors of the Abyss it is very important that your characters are maxed (character level, talents, weapons, artifacts) You can check what your characters need with the function "Training Guide"
• Knowing your teams' rotations and synergies is the key to success in the most difficult challenges, read their talents and learn to know them better, to master the elements at best like a true expert! • If you can't complete all the rooms remember that stars stack together, you can get one star in each Chamber (for a total of three stars per floor) to get some rewards. • If you can't complete it, don't be sad, work on your teams and you'll see that you can do it!
Blessing of the Abyssal Moon: Scorching Moon
Triggers pyro-related reactions to deal additional damage to enemies.
⚔️ FLOOR 11 ⚔️
INFO:
Ley Line Disorder (Buff): All party members gain a 75% Pyro DMG Bonus.
Star Bounty:
Chamber's Bounty:
TIPS:
• In this Abyss the dominant element is Pyro, the secondary one is Electro. • CC (crowd control) characters, characters with Aoe attacks are highly recommended. • To activate the Blessing of this Abyss I recommended all teams that trigger Pyro reactions, you can obviously change some units with others based on your characters.
TEAM EXAMPLES - FIRST HALF
FIRST HALF: Bring Natlan characters that can use Nightsoul-aligned attacks, if you don't have any choose characters that deal a lot of elemental attacks to defeat Tenebrous Mimesis enemies faster.
(Keep in mind that you have f2p characters like Pyro Traveler and Katchina who can help you)
TEAM EXAMPLES - SECOND HALF
SECOND HALF: In the second part there are fewer enemies so even single target characters can help you.
ENEMIES Floor 11 - Chamber 1-1
The enemies in this chamber are numerous, (24 in total) they spawn in groups of 6, they move quickly and do a lot of damage. In almost all floors enemies spawn clockwise, imagine the abyss room as a big clock and move accordingly.
CC (crowd control) characters like: Sucrose, Kazuha and Venti are really useful for grouping enemies together and dealing damage in the shortest amount of time possible. Follow the imaginary clock to move quickly and start grouping and attacking enemies before they do.
Floor 11 - Chamber 1-2
Secret Sourcex1:These enemies are simple to defeat, "Secret Source" will be alone just do your rotations and then take care of the two Ruin Drakes (x2) that will spawn behind you.
Floor 11 - Chamber 2-1
Hydro Hilichurl Rougue x2 they don't have much mobility so it will be easy for you to keep them close and defeat them, characters that do AoE damage are great against them especially when they summon their slimes.
Tenebrous Mimesis x2. These enemies have a bar on their head, which indicates a shield, until that bar is full you will not be able to do any damage to them, characters that use Nightsoul-aligned attacks and Elemental attacks can knock down this shield very quickly. (Nightsoul-aligned attacks are more effective)
Floor 11 - Chamber 2-2
Primordial Bathysmal Vishap x3: They will spawn all three close together, their attacks reduce your Energy and if you don't have enough energy you will lose HP, against them you can use a crow control to group them or characters with AoE attacks.
Eroding Avatar of Lava x2: These enemies have a lot of HP but are very vulnerable to Pyro attacks, when the circle above their head is completely full they will be defeated.
Floor 11 - Chamber 3-1
Cryo Abyss Mage x2: Use Pyro characters to knock down their shield and defeat them.
Abyss Herald x1: Here too you will need a good amount of Pyro (and also Electro if you want) to deal with this enemy and take down his Cryo shield.
Floor 11 - Chamber 3-2
Veteran Tainted Water-Spouting Phantasm x2: These enemies do a lot of damage and have a lot of HP, so if you are not good at dodging, bring a strong shield or a good healer to your team. Since they are always affected by Hydro your characters will always be able to react against them.
⚔️ FLOOR 12 ⚔️
INFO:
Ley Line Disorder (Buff):
• First Half Pyro DMG dealt by all party members' Normal Attacks increased by 75%. • Second Half All party members' Nightsoul-aligned DMG increased by 75%.
Star Bounty:
Chamber's Bounty:
TIPS:
• Even in floor 12 the dominant element is Pyro. • Don't forget the Buffs! • In the first half you have a buff on Pyro DMG of normal attacks of 75%. (Arlecchino, Mavuika, Yanfei, Diluc, Yoimiya can take advantage of this buff) • In the second Half all Natlan's character have a Nightsoul-aligned DMG increased by 75%. (Mavuika, Kinich, Chasca, Xilonen, Ororon can take advantage of this buff)
TEAM EXAMPLES - FIRST HALF
TEAM EXAMPLES - SECOND HALF
ENEMIES Floor 12 - Chamber 1-1
Yumkasaurus x3: Stay in the center of the room they will spawn right in front of you, make your rotations, these enemies don't have much HP and are simple to defeat.
Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King x1: This enemy is very resistant to Dendro, but Pyro attacks are very effective against it, especially try to hit its Flamegranates with Pyro attacks, to stun it for a few seconds Gluttonous Yumkasaur
Floor 12 - Chamber 1- 2
Iktomisaurus x3: Stay in the center of the room they will spawn right in front of you, make your rotations, these enemies don't have much HP and are simple to defeat.
Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker x1: This enemy creates many copies and launches Pyro attacks to defeat them quickly. Once you have defeated them all, you can focus on the boss who will remain stunned for a few seconds.
Characters like Ororon or Citlali can use their Master of the Night-Wind special ability to stop the summons' movements for a few seconds. Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker
Floor 12 - Chamber 2- 1
Xuanwen Beast x3:Stay in the center of the room they will spawn right in front of you, make your rotations, these enemies are simple to defeat.
Solitary Suanni x1:This enemy does Anemo and Hydro attacks, to counter it you can use Cryo to freeze and immobilize it by interrupting it while it is charging its attack, then use a reaction of Shatter or Melt to break the ice and stun it.
Floor 12 - Chamber 2- 2
Tenebrous Mimiflora x2:They will spawn one at a time, use Nightsoul Blessing's characters (or Elemental attacks) to break down their barrier and defeat them.
Floor 12 - Chamber 3- 1
Biting-Cold Wayob Manifestation x1: This enemy is alone and will spawn in front of the domain activation key, he has a Cryo shield that you can knock down using Pyro (best) or Electro attacks, while he has this shield he will absorb all your Elemental Energy so you will not be able to use your Ultimates, but you will have a damage increase.
So use all your Ultimates right away and when he generates the shield use your skills to knock him down.
Construction Specialist Mek x1: If you have Furina with you on this chamber you can use her Ousia attack (2 times) to paralyze the enemy.
If you don't have characters that do Oasia attacks don't worry, it's not a difficult enemy to defeat.
Floor 12 - Chamber 3- 2
Tenebrous Papilla x1: This Boss works exactly like the enemies we talked about before in the guide, he also as you can see has a white bar on his head. The boss will immediately begin to charge a very powerful attack that can oneshot most characters.
When you start the domain wait for the bar on his head to go out (don't waste skill or ults) as soon as the bar appears use Nightsoul Blessing's characters (or Elemental attacks) to break down his shield, the enemy will remain stunned for a few seconds after which it takes the form of other bosses present in Teyvat. In this specific case he will take the form of Millennial Pearl Seahorse, Statue of Marble and Brass, Kongamato (not in this order) will replicate their attacks and pattern so defeat them as you are used to.
If you fail to break his shield in time: You can simply run to the edge of the domain to dodge its attack, or if you have Ororon or Citlali in your team you can hover in the air with them, still staying away from the boss. Papilla
