Genshin Impact 5.0 Spiral Abyss: Optimal Teams, Strategies, and Tips

The enemy composition in the 5.0 Spiral Abyss allows for various team configurations. However, it is vital to select the right teams that align with the Ley Line buffs and the enemies present in the chambers to secure an effortless full clear.

Here are the optimal teams and strategies to efficiently navigate the 5.0 Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact:

Floor 9

On Floor 9, Pyro DPS characters or those who can utilize Pyro reactions are particularly effective due to the 50% Pyro DMG bonus Ley Line buff. Utilize these teams while keeping the following strategies in mind for clearing floor 9 in the 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First Half

Harlequin + Emilie + Kazuha + Bennett
Arlecchino + Yelan + Zhongli + Bennett
Hu Tao + Yelan + Venti + Xingqiu
Neuvillette + Xiangling + Kazuha + 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 several groups of enemies, so including an Anemo CC (Crowd Control) unit like Venti or Kazuha will help in swiftly defeating enemies.

Floor 10

Characters from Natlan have an advantage on Floor 10 due to the Nightsoul’s Blessing Ley Line buff. Here are some team compositions you can use to clear this floor in the 5.0 Spiral Abyss:

First Half

Mualani + Xiangling + Kazuha + Baizhu
Mualani + Xiangling + Mona + Kachina
Raiden Shogun + Sara + Xiangling + Chevreuse
Harlequin + 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 crowd-controlled, so consider using an Anemo unit like Kazuha or Venti if desired. Don’t worry if you don’t possess any of the new Natlan characters such as Mualani or Kinich; Floor 10 can still be cleared easily with characters from other regions.

Floor 11

Floor 11 features a dual Ley Line buff granting bonuses for both Dendro DMG and Hydro DMG. This opens up opportunities to create teams centered around Hydro and Dendro characters and their respective reactions. Use the following team compositions and strategies to efficiently clear Floor 11 in the 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 continues the trend from previous chambers with multiple enemy waves in the first halves. Bringing along Kazuha, Venti, or Sucrose will assist in clearing the enemy waves promptly. The first chamber of Floor 11 is a Monolith Defense chamber, so having CC units on your team will prove beneficial.

In the first half of Chamber 3, you will encounter Fluid Avatar of Lava enemies, which have high Pyro RES and a Pyro aura. Utilize Hydro DPS characters to trigger Vaporize reactions and quickly dispatch these formidable foes.

Floor 12

As is customary, Floor 12 features no Ley Line disorders, allowing for flexible team compositions based on the enemy lineup. Use these teams and strategies to conquer Floor 12 in the 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 features enemies such as the Pyro and Cryo Fatui skirmishers, Kairagis and Nobushis, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. Ensure that you include Hydro and Pyro characters to effectively dismantle the shields of the Pyro and Cryo Fatui skirmishers.

Furthermore, both the Jadeplume Terrorshroom and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King possess added Dendro RES, so it’s best to avoid Dendro DPS-oriented teams for the first half.

Second Half

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

The second half of Floor 12 includes resilient enemies such as the Hydro Phantasm, Maguu Kenki, and the Perpetual Mechanical Array. Since the Hydro Phantasm is immune to Hydro, prioritize team compositions that focus on Pyro and Dendro DPS characters to trigger Vaporize and Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon reactions for a swift clear.
