Floor 11 of the Genshin Impact 5.7 Spiral Abyss has the following Ley Line disorders:

First half: Cryo DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 60%.
Second half: Pyro DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 60%.

As evident from these buffs, picking Cryo-based teams for the first half, and Pyro-based teams for the second half is the best way to easily clear Floor 11. Here are some team compositions that you can use:

First half

Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Shenhe
Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Yelan
Wriothesley + Furina + Shenhe + Xilonen
Ayaka + Escoffier + Furina + Shenhe

The first chamber in the first half of Floor 11 is a monolith defense chamber, so using AoE DPS units who can quickly clear out the multiple waves of enemies is a good choice. The Maguu Kenki is the featured boss in the third chamber of Floor 11, so you will need a well-built hypercarry unit who can dish out decent amounts of damage. Keep in the mind that the Maguu Kenki is immune to being Frozen, so you cannot trigger any Freeze reactions while fighting it.

Second half

Mavuika + Citlali + Xilonen + Bennett
Arlecchino + Yelan + Zhongli + Bennett
Hu Tao + Furina + Yelan + Xilonen
Lyney + Kazuha + Xiangling + Bennett

The second half of Genshin Impact 5.7 Spiral Abyss Floor 12 consists of enemies such as the Consecrated Beasts, Veteran Phantasms, and Lawachurls. Using a Pyro-based team is essential for this half, as you will need to take down the Frostarm Lawachurl's Cryo shield with Pyro application. Single-target DPS units are preferable for this half, although you can easily use AoE DPS characters as well.

Floor 12

These are the Ley Line disorders for Genshin Impact 5.7 Spiral Abyss:

First half: Cryo DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 75%.
Second half: Nightsoul-aligned DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 75%.

These Ley Line disorders require you to pick Cryo-based teams for the first half, and teams with Natlan units for the second half. Here are some team compositions you can use to clear Floor 12 of the Genshin Impact 5.7 Spiral Abyss:

First half

Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Shenhe
Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Yelan
Wriothesley + Furina + Shenhe + Xilonen
Ayaka + Escoffier + Kazuha + Kokomi

5-star Cryo unit Skirk is the best character to clear the first half of Floor 12 in Genshin Impact 5.7 Spiral Abyss. Not only can she deal incredible amounts of frontloaded damage, she is also a very fast attacker, meaning that you can quickly defeat the enemies before they have a chance of landing a hit on you. A Freeze team is essential for defeating the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device in the first chamber, and will also help in clearing the other chambers, since they all feature enemies who can be CC-ed and frozen.

Second half

Mavuika + Citlali + Xilonen + Bennett
Kinich + Emilie + Xiangling + Bennett
Chasca + Furina + Xiangling + Bennett
Mavuika + Citlali + Iansan + Bennett

The second half of the first chamber of Floor 12 features the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker boss, for whom you will either need Masters of the Night-Wind Natlan units such as Citlali and Ororon, or a minimum of two Pyro units on your team who can quickly take down the Radiant Reflections spawned by the boss (using Melt reactions). The Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King featured in chamber three is pretty tanky, so you should try and light the Flamegranates it shoots out on fire so as to deal additional damage to boss.
