Kazuha is a newly added character, but he has already made his mark on Genshin Impact as he has ascended the ranks and solidly landed a spot on this list.

Kazuha is an excellent support and sub-DPS unit who can perform powerful swirls and bring up the overall damage of a team by a significant amount.


7) Xiao

Xiao is the most potent Anemo Main DPS in Genshin Impact and still delivers consistently powerful AOE DPS for a team, allowing for players to clear through enemies with ease.

Xiao has placed a little lower than usual due to his inability to deal with enemies like Abyss Heralds and Lectors, making him less useful than expected.


6) Xingqiu

As a character who provides great damage and off-field support, Xingqiu has never been missing from the top lists in Genshin Impact.

Players are sure to be familiar with his great Hydro application and synergies with many characters, landing Xingqiu the 6th spot on this list.


5) Hu Tao

Hu Tao remains one of the best DPS' in Genshin Impact, and her place as the 5th most chosen Spiral Abyss character in 1.6 cements that role for now.

Gamers can rely on this mighty 5-star Pyro spear Main DPS for this rotation of the Spiral Abyss, as Hu Tao's incredible strength remains dominant.


4) Bennett

Unsurprisingly, Bennett maintains his spot near the top as a Spiral Abyss pick for his incredible utility, healing, buffs, and damage.

Bennett is truly a jack of all trades, and Genshin Impact players can use him in any role. He also excels at taking down Abyss Lectors, making him an excellent choice for those tricky enemies.


3) Ganyu

Ganyu takes the top spot as the most chosen main DPS in Genshin Impact 1.6 Spiral Abyss, and for good reason. Her powerful Cryo charged shots could take down nearly any enemy that poses a threat in the Abyss, and this 5-star Cryo bow user can take down Abyss Heralds and Lectors without breaking a sweat.

Ganyu remains one of the strongest characters in all of Genshin Impact, and taking her into the Abyss is a no-brainer.


2) Venti

Venti provides the most potent crowd control in Genshin Impact, and when the objective of the Spiral Abyss is to clear out enemies as fast as possible, it makes sense that he still holds such a high role in this challenging gauntlet.

Players will definitely want to bring Venti along with their party if they have the Anemo Archon on their side.


1) Zhongli
