Most popular characters in Genshin Impact 4.1 Spiral Abyss (as per usage rates)

Anybody struggling to clear the Genshin Impact 4.1 Spiral Abyss might wish to see what characters the pros are using. Two data sets will be referenced in this article. One will be from a Reddit post showing over 100,000 players' successful clears back on October 1, 2023, and the other is from Akasha Data on October 6, 2023. Both should be a good visualization of who is popular and who is not.

Note that such data primarily focuses on Floor 12 clears. That's the hardest part of the Genshin Impact 4.1 Spiral Abyss, so it's the most useful to analyze. Copies of the referenced material will be provided below for the reader's convenience.

Some of the least popular characters, such as Amber and Sayu, have a much better Usage Rate here than in the previous data (albeit anything <1% is still near the bottom). Aloy even has the misfortune of being the least popular 5-star on both lists, which isn't surprising, given the community's lack of interest in her as a third-party unit.

Hopefully, Travelers now have an idea of what characters to use to clear the Genshin Impact 4.1 Spiral Abyss, as well as see how their favorites stack up in the current meta.
