In case players do not have access to the aforementioned playable characters, they can try to form similar team compositions with the ones they already have. Here are the best strategies to challenge the different floors of Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss 4.5.

Floor 9

The Floor 9 Ley Line Disorder heavily rewards Vaporize reactions. As such, it is recommended to carry Hydro and Pyro characters when engaging in combat.

Moreover, the floor also features many smaller mobs that spawn on either side of the field. As such, it can be helpful to have a Crowd Control character in your team.


Floor 10

The Ley Line Disorder for Floor 10 increases the damage dealt to enemies afflicted by Hydro. Therefore, it is recommended to have a Hydro sub-DPS who can consistently apply the element on enemies.

The second chamber also features some Specters and Fungi of different elements. So, it would do good to have characters from different elements and a Crowd Control unit at your disposal to deal with pesky mobs.


Floor 11

All party members receive an additional Geo DMG bonus via the Ley Line Disorder on Floor 11 of Spiral Abyss 4.5. It's recommended to capitalize on this aspect if you have any strong Geo characters.

Aside from that, you are recommended to bring a CC character to deal with Hilichurl mobs and Fungi enemies. Furthermore, it is crucial to avoid Hydro DPS for the first half due to the fact that Floor 11-3-1 hosts some Hydro Phantasm enemies.


Floor 12

Regarded as the toughest content of Genshin Impact, you will go up against several boss monsters on Floor 12 of Spiral Abyss 4.5. For the first half, you should try to opt for teams with consistent Hydro application, as you will face enemies like Pyro mages, Pyro Whopperflower, and more.

When it comes to the second half, you will encounter bosses like Jadeplume Terrorshroom, Perpetual Mechanical Array, and Veteran Arithmetic Enhancer Mek. While Aggravate teams can provide an edge with the Terrorshroom, characters that can deal melee or Geo damage will come in handy for the Meka.
