What are the best strategies and teams for Genshin Impact 5.2 Spiral Abyss?

Since Floors 8 and 9 of the Genshin Impact 5.2 Spiral Abyss can be auto-claimed without actually challenging them (as long as you have achieved sufficient stars in the last cycle), players need to focus only on Floors 11 and 12 to clear the content.

The Ley Line Disorder for Floor 11 increases characters' Charged Attack DMG, so making teams centered around DPS characters who use Charged Attacks will be helpful.

Here are a few teams you can use for Floor 11 in Genshin Impact 5.2 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Neuvillette + Furina + Kazuha + Xilonen
• Neuvillette + Zhongli + Furina + Venti
• Childe + Xiangling + Kazuha + Bennett
• Alhaitham + Nahida + Yelan + Kuki Shinobu

The first half of Floor 11 features multiple waves of enemies that can easily be grouped. Using an Anemo CC character like Kazuha, Venti, or Sucrose alongside an AoE DPS unit is recommended to clear the enemy waves comfortably.

Second half

• Arlecchino + Chevreuse + Fischl + Bennett
• Arlecchino + Yelan + Fischl + Xilonen
• Kinich + Emilie + Dehya + Bennett
• Xiao + Faruzan + Xianyun + Furina

For the second half of Floor 11, single-target DPS characters will be more effective. However, avoid bringing any Hydro DPS units, as the second half of Chamber 3 includes Veteran Tainted Phantasm enemies that are immune to Hydro DMG.

Floor 12

Spiral Abyss Floor 12 has no Ley Line Disorder, so you only need to pick teams based on the enemies in each chamber. Both halves of Floor 12 feature tanky enemies, so ensure that both your DPS characters and supports are well-built.

Here are a few teams that can be used to clear both halves of Floor 12 in Genshin Impact 5.2 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Neuvillette + Furina + Kazuha + Xilonen
• Neuvillette + Furina + Zhongli + Kazuha
• Navia + Furina + Yelan + Xilonen
• Clorinde + Nahida + Zhongli + Yelan

The first halves of Floor 12 Chamber 2 and Chamber 3 have the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant boss and the Golden Wolflord boss, respectively. This makes it essential to bring one Hydro and one Geo character to tackle them.

Characters like Furina and Neuvillette excel at quickly bringing down the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant's shield, while Zhongli and Xilonen can handle the Golden Wolflord's Rifthound Skulls.

Be sure to avoid the Consecrated Beasts' attacks in Chamber 1 if your team lacks a shielder, as these enemies hit very hard and can knock out your characters with just a couple of hits.

Second half

• Kinich + Emilie + Dehya + Bennett
• Chasca + Furina + Ororon + Bennett
• Arlecchino + Yelan + Fischl + Bennett
• Wanderer + Faruzan + Zhongli + Bennett

The Tenebrous Papilla: Type 1 boss in the second half of Floor 12 Chamber 2 requires Natlan characters who can deal Nightsoul-aligned attacks. DPS units like Chasca, Kinich, and Mualani are very effective against this boss.

While Natlan characters are not mandatory, using fast-attacking hypercarry DPS units like Arlecchino can also be effective.

For the Aeonblight Drake in Chamber 3, you'll need a Bow user or someone like Chasca, Wanderer, or Kinich, who can attack the boss while it's in the air and bring it down.
