The five teams with the most usage in Genshin Impact 3.5's Spiral Abyss

5) Tighnari + Yae Miko + Zhongli + Nahida

• Usage Rate: 18.8%
• Pick rate in the first half: 3%
• Pick rate in the second half: 97%

Quicken teams can be easy to use and very effective in the Spiral Abyss's Floor 12. This lineup is used more in the second half, which makes sense since the characters used here can effectively handle the Setekh Wenut without much trouble.

It is worth mentioning that players have to be careful with Zhongli since his shields can make the Shadowy Husks in the previous chamber's fight quite annoying. Apart from that, this team only has five-star characters, which would make it hard for some F2P players to replicate.

4) Hu Tao + Zhongli + Yelan + Xingqiu

• Usage Rate: 27.1%
• Pick rate in the first half: 92%
• Pick rate in the second half: 8%

Shielders aren't too great in the second half of the new Spiral Abyss Floor 12. Hence, a team that heavily relies on them, like a Hu Tao lineup, is predominantly used in the first half. Two of the three chambers here only have one enemy, meaning that high single-target damage is ideal.

Hu Tao teams are infamous for dealing a ton of damage in Genshin Impact. Yelan and Xingqiu are both excellent partners for enhancing her DPS, while Zhongli gives her good sustain.

3) Raiden Shogun + Xingqiu + Bennett + Xiangling

• Pick rate in the second half: 2%

Raiden National has been excellent in every Spiral Abyss. It's no different in Genshin Impact 3.5's new Floor 12. This team is very F2P-friendly since players only need a single 5-star character who has had several banners already.

It is worth mentioning that all of the characters listed in this lineup are among the top seven most used characters for the new Spiral Abyss Floor 12. This particular team also has the highest Appearance Rate, according to the Chinese Genshin Impact data.

2) Childe + Kazuha + Bennett + Xiangling

• Usage Rate: 30.5%
• Pick rate in the first half: 79%
• Pick rate in the second half: 21%

This team is the most balanced in the top five regarding its usage rate in the first and second half of Genshin Impact 3.5's new Spiral Abyss. Childe International is similar to Raiden National in that it's always been top-tier for this type of content.

It's by far Childe's best team comp in Genshin Impact, and it's not even hard to build. This spot is the highest regarding usage rate for him, Bennett, and Xiangling, but Kazuha is used on one more team.

1) Ayaka + Kazuha + Kokomi + Shenhe

• Usage Rate: 38%
• Pick rate in the first half: 0%
• Pick rate in the second half: 100%

This is one of the few popular teams to be used exclusively in the second half of Genshin Impact 3.5's Spiral Abyss Floor 12. It's also arguably Ayaka's best lineup. She deals impressive Cryo DMG, Kazuha and Shenhe help Ayaka deal more damage, and Kokomi can heal.

Kokomi and the two Cryo allies can also Freeze enemies, which is nice against the Shadowy Husks portion of this content.
