At first I thought this abyss is easier and this chamber was easy because I used ayaka freeze on the first half and never felt the damage of the mobs. But I became surprised on my second attempt when I tried other teams for fun.
Very informative video. This is one of the rare Abyss run I was able to 36 stars
I hate whenever they put a boss for which you need a very specific element; especially when I don`t like said element and haven`t built anyone of that element
Also I died so often against the scorpion and pyro bird, but its one of the rare chamber where it did not bother me that much. I would just keep trying 20 times because I knew if I just dodge better or use my burst invincibility frame better, i can do it
while there has been other chambers in the past were it just felt frustrating
GG.. thank you for the guide..
This abyss was really fun and finally i got to test fun teams like suicidal Burning Traveler
Me watching guide while having 999ping: oh thats how you do it!
I’m enjoying so much your videos! Thank you! Cheers from Italy
I used Eula as a hyperbloom driver for the most part due to her interupption resistance. With XC the stagger was super manageable.
Fantastic tips, thank you!
This abyiss is one of the best version we ever had ……I regular doing 36 f2p stars but this version is demanding and interesting …. amazing fights
1:00 keep in mind that's ~70ms ping. For me who had to do this at borderline 200ms ping (sometimes erratically jumped to 500~700ms ping), I need to dash earlier (around half filled circle)
I cleared the beasts with Nilou Bloom team (Nilou Nahida Barbara DMC) and hero of the day was Barbara who tanked everything. She even got place on the Notable Stats page with 250k damage taken. I was taking it a bit as a meme when I was leveling her up way back but since Dendro came she's priceless. Especially since I don't have Kokomi.
And yeah, Diona + Bennett for the second half were perfect supports.
And yet people somehow still consider xingqiu inferior than yelan
If anyone has Tighnari, he's really good for 12-2-1. This is due to his E's field effect that drives the enemies' attacks away from you, so you won't even need a shield. I used two healers for this part, although I mostly only had to use one of them.
Honestly I feel like I've tanked the wolf lord faster and easier even with his crazy long animations. The amount of times I got one-shot by the obese bird on this half is laughable. The 3 magu kenki and ASIMON at 12-3 are always good to see tho. As a Tighnari main I love ASIMON.
I'm definitely the minority here as a geo-centric player but I definitely love fighting wolflord and the rifthounds. Hard-hitting enemies like this cycle are my bane of existence since there is only 1 Zhongli and it's also partly my difficultyfrom playing on a huge tablet with touchscreen (controller is even worde for Nahida's scanning or a quick turn).
If you need Xingqiu for the second half (like I did, I used Rational on the second half), you can use Kokomi-Kuki hyperbloom instead (last character just put whoever you want, I used Sucrose for EM buffing but I think another Hydro/Electro is better if you use Nahida to take advantage of her burst passive) and use Kokomi on-field. Kokomi's burst does give her resistance to interruption so this is one of the rare time where on-field Kokomi is actually optimal.
Another tip for the consecrated beasts if you don't have Xingqiu/is using Xingqiu in another team: this chamber becomes extremely easy with a quickswap team – any quickswap team. The sheer fact that you're bursting constantly means you're invulnerable most of the time. I cleared with multiple teams already, but one that I enjoyed in particular was Nahida (Favonius Codex), Fischl, Yaoyao and Lisa.Another hyperbloom quickswap variation without Xingqiu I enjoyed for this team was Kokomi. I did stay on Kokomi during her burst but since she was healing too much anyway, it wasn't that hard. Dodging the jump attacks is not that hard either thanks to the visual indication on the floor.
Anyway, my point being: quickswapping is amazing for these enemies hahaha
Me who used 3geo + Bennett 12-2-1 and Nahida hyperbloom 12-2-2: interesting
(For 12-1 and 12-3, hyperbloom was first cuz duh)
The 3 Magu Kenki were difficult. 🙂
I have managed 12-2 with Noelle, Xingqiu, Nahida and Kuki in the first half. And in the second half I brough Zhongli, Kazuha, Raiden and Yaoyao.
Thanks for the tip about Xingqiu. That really helped me to pass this annoying phase!
Another thing that can be added is that self-elemental application like Bennett (and Dori) is a huge double-edge sword against those beasts due to his burst applying Pyro (or Electro) to the team. This means that if you get hit by the Purple scorpion once during its combo, overload can knock you around. Just one more thing I notice people suffering from.
I brought Alhaitham and the rest of my hyperbloom party with me in the first phase coz I kept getting mauled by that bird. Second half I had Bennett and Xiangling along with Kazu and Yae Miko
So, looking at the stats, good artifacts are essential? I have correct characters and get my ass handed to me on everything but rational.
Im building Kuki for a hyperbloom team but don't have a lot of weapons. I have one sword billet. Do I craft an iron sting or is the free sword Toukabou Shigure any good?
Oh my gosh thank you thank you thank yououuuu! I have some version of all these teams and I'm gonna try again. I'm stuck at 7 stars and can't get past 12-2-1 anymore. First time I cleared, I used Fischl, Sucrose (with prototype amber for more survivability although a bit of a dps loss), Xingqiu, and Nahida. It's one of my favorite hyperbloom teams and the damage is crazy good and it's been a staple for me since the last spiral abyss since my Kuki isn't level yet. But I honestly don't have ANY idea how I survived because I can't clear it with this team anymore without someone dying LOL. My dodging skills must have been on another level that day lol. So then I tried Fischl, Lisa, Nahida, and Barbara. Also really great for hyperbloom, but no interruption resistance and kept dying as well. I'm gonna try again using some of your tips! Feeling refreshed after watching this video and gonna try again! Loved how simple and informative this was!
as an experienced bloodborne/nioh player, getting one-shotted is nothing new. it also helps that my teams are Yae Tighnari and Raiden national, one team can just stay away and still do damage while the other has all the iframes + healing in the world to stay alive. fighting the triple kenki in the abyss for the first time is definitely quite something though, never got one-shotted (it's more of a combo from them but it's so fast it might as well be an one-shot) so fast in genshin. it wasn't too hard after I got used to their attack patterns. anyway, hope you get better soon, my man!
0:36 "they both have very high resistance against their own element"
me: putting Raiden National into that half in order to take them to the 3rd chamber 💀
man, wish I had this guide when I first did spiral abyss. Got my ass kicked by the scorpion and the bird using a yae kuki yaoyao nahida team. Had to retry so many times, not for a lack of DPS but because I couldn't stay alive.
Just impossible to pass this shitty floor, holy fuck, i always get killed, no exception.
I prefer the last abyss 100000000000000x over this one lol
I found this chamber surprisingly easier than what most people said, but 12-3 did kick my ass i haven't been able to 3 star it lmao
Something that might be useful for the kenkis is that if you go to the north east part of the arena(left of the kenkis) then head to the center of the kenkis the cryo kenki won't dash away.
Thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for the tips and tricks. This was the first time I’ve ever 36-star the spiral abyss. Much appreciated. 🎉🥳🎈🎊🎁🍾
Saviour.
I will say that during the Concreted Beasts I used Beidou with Kuki Hyperbloom Xingqiu was the Hydro here. And the Shield with Beidou's C1 and Xingqiu's Rainswords helped me to stay alive during that battle. Before Beidou I was using Fischl and I kept on dying so switched out Fischl for Beidou and Beidou even gives quite nice AOE damage against Concreted Beasts.
Your xiangling ER substats.. mad respect.. yummy..
A hyperbloom team with Xingqiu, Kuki and Beidou or Barbara makes surviving the 1st half a lot easier. Without Xingqiu I usually got pushed against the wall and died
I'd give your Bennett the Sumeru craftable sword (higher base atk) and Er% sands. Maybe an Hp% goblet or circlet if you need more healing
i got no clue wtf i b doin half the time so thank u for always making these guides :')
you can dash dodge the circle?!!!!! I always get hit!
why even try if you cant do it in 3 minutes anyway and that is the only way to gain something from?
Me who uses freeze in this floor:"I am beyond your understanding".
