Genshin Impact 5.0 Spiral Abyss: Best teams, strategies, and tips

The enemy lineup in 5.0 Spiral Abyss does allow for some flexibility in picking team compositions. That said, making sure you pick the right teams in accordance with the Ley Line buffs and enemies present in the chambers is essential to securing an easy full clear.

These are the best teams and strategies that you can use to easily clear 5.0 Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact:

Floor 9

Pyro DPS characters or other characters who can make use of Pyro reactions are useful in Floor 9, due to the 50% Pyro DMG bonus Ley Line buff. You can use these teams and keep the following strategies in mind for clearing floor 9 in 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Arlecchino + Emilie + Kazuha + Bennett
• Arlecchino + Yelan + Zhongli + Bennett
• Hu Tao + Yelan + Venti + Xingqiu
• Neuvillette + Xiangling + Kauzha + Bennett

Second half

• Mualani + Xiangling + Dehya + Zhongli
• Mualani + Emilie + Xiangling + Baizhu
• Yoimiya + Yelan + Zhongli + Yunjin
• Diluc + Xianyun + Yelan + Bennett

The first half of each chamber in Floor 10 has multiple groups of enemies, so bringing along an Anemo CC (Crowd Control) unit like Venti or Kazuha will help you defeat the enemies faster.

Floor 10

Characters from Natlan have an advantage in Floor 10 due to the Nightsoul's Blessing Ley Line buff. That said, here are some teams you can use to clear this floor in 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Mualani + Xiangling + Kazuha + Baizhu
• Mualani + Xiangling + Mona + Kachina
• Raiden Shogun + Sara + Xiangling + Chevreuse
• Arlecchino + Kaeya + Rosaria + Bennett

Second half

• Kinich + Emilie + Dehya + Bennett
• Kinich + Furina + Xiangling + Bennett
• Arlecchino + Yelan + Kazuha + Kokomi
• Alhaitham + Nahida + Yelan + Kuki Shinobu

Similar to Floor 9, the first halves of each chamber have multiple enemies that can be CC-ed, so feel free to bring along an Anemo unit like Kazuha or Venti if you feel like it. Also, do not worry if you don't have any of the new Natlan characters such as Mualani or Kinich. Despite the Nightsoul's Blessing Ley Line buff, Floor 10 can be easily cleared with characters from other regions.

Floor 11

Floor 11 has a dual Ley Line buff wherein characters gain both Dendro DMG and Hydro DMG bonuses. This means that you can create team compositions revolving around Hydro and Dendro characters and reactions. Use the following teams and strategies to quickly clear Floor 11 in 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Mualani + Xiangling + Kazuha + Bennett
• Neuvillette + Furina + Kazuha + Baizhu
• Alhaitham + Nahida + Yelan + Kuki Shinobu
• Childe + Xingqiu + Xiangling + Bennett'

Second half

• Arlecchino + Emilie + Nahida + Baizhu
• Arlecchino + Yelan + Bennett + Zhongli
• Kinich + Emilie + Dehya + Thoma
• Nilou + Nahida + Kokomi + Baizhu

Floor 11 follows the previous chambers' lineup and also has multiple waves of enemies in the first halves. Try and bring along Kazuha, Venti, or Sucrose to clear the enemy waves with relative ease. The first chamber of Floor 11 is a Monolith Defense chamber, so having CC units on your team will be immensely helpful.

The first half of Chamber 3 has Fluid Avatar of Lava enemies, who have a high Pyro RES and a Pyro aura. Use Hydro DPS characters to trigger Vaporize reactions and defeat these tanky enemies as quickly as possible.

Floor 12

As usual, there are no Ley Line disorders on Floor 12, so you can pick and choose your team comps according to the enemy lineup. You can make use of these teams and tips to clear Floor 12 in 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First half

• Mualani + Xiangling + Kazuha + Bennett
• Hu Tao + Yelan + Zhongli + Xingqiu
• Neuvillette + Furina + Xiangling + Bennett
• Raiden Shogun + Xiangling + Bennett + Xingqiu

The first half of Floor 12 has enemies such as the Pyro and Cryo Fatui skirmishers, Kairagis and Nobushis, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. You will need to bring along Hydro and Pyro characters to take down the shields of the Pyro and Cryo Fatui skirmishers, respectively.

Additionally, both the Jadeplume Terrorshroom and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King have added Dendro RES, so try not to bring Dendro DPS-oriented teams for the first half.

Second half

• Arlecchino + Emilie + Fischl + Baizhu
• Kinich + Dehya + Kazuha + Bennett
• Alhaitham + Nahida + Yelan + Kuki Shinobu
• Clorinde + Nahida + Fischl + Xingqiu

The second half of Floor 12 has tanky enemies such as the Hydro Phantasm, Maguu Kenki, and the Perpetual Mechanical Array. Since the Hydro Phantasm has Hydro immunity, avoid choosing Hydro-oriented teams for the second half. Instead, focus on bringing Pyro and Dendro DPS characters, who can trigger Vaporize and Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon reactions for a quick clear.
