The first three phases of the Genshin Impact 2.2 Spiral Abyss have been leaked. The first phase will provide a 6.5 percent ATK buff for each second in which the character remains above 50 percent energy. The buff can stack up to 10 times. When the energy depletes below 30%, all of the stacks will be lost.

2.2 Spiral Abyss phase 2: Character with full energy gains one stack of Blessed Effusion (BE) per second, up to 10 stacks. Using elemental burst clears all stacks of BE and grants 5% increased DMG per stack of BE cleared, for 10s. No BE stacks will be gained during the DMG buff. pic.twitter.com/oTBYvgghpS

The second phase will allow characters with full energy to gain a stack of Blessed Effusion each second, rising to 10. This new buff will increase damage after casting an Elemental Burst; it also depends on how much Blessed Effusion is stacked up. Each stack will provide a 5 percent DMG increase, and all 10 of them will ensure an amazing damage boost.

The third phase of Genshin Impact 2.2 Spiral Abyss will feature the return of shockwaves. Shockwaves are a common buff in the Abyss, with these ones focusing on energy levels.

When a character's energy levels are 50 percent or more, they will release shockwaves that deal AOE damage. The damage significantly increases if the energy levels are full.
