Most popular characters in Genshin Impact 5.1 Spiral Abyss

Genshin Impact 5.1 Spiral Abyss was recently updated with a new enemy lineup. Following this, data regarding some of the most used characters in this iteration of the Abyss was shared by @hxg_diluc on their X account, a well-known information provider for Genshin Impact. The release of the latest exclusive 5-star character Xilonen seems to have caused a shift in players' choices for character selection after the launch of this new iteration of the endgame content.

It is worth mentioning that this data is subject to change since this information was released only a couple of days after the release of the 5.1 Spiral Abyss. However, it could still be useful for players who are struggling to clear this content as the 5.1 Abyss favors DEF scaling characters and Geo teams and has many elite enemies and bosses with Geo shields in the later stages.

Keeping that in mind, this article is going to go over some of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact 5.1 Spiral Abyss.
