Best strategies and team compositions for Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss

Floor 11

The Ley Line Disorder for Floor 11 of the Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss is the following (for both the first and second halves):

All characters gain a 75% Electro DMG Bonus.

Since the Ley Line Disorder is pretty straightforward, using teams featuring Electro main DPS units is the best choice for clearing Floor 11. Here are some teams that can be used to clear Floor 11 of the Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss:

First half

Varesa + Iansan + Chevreuse + Bennett
Clorinde + Fischl + Nahida + Kazuha
Raiden Shogun + Chevreuse + Sara + Bennett
Chasca + Ororon + Furina + Bennett

Chamber 1 for Floor 11 is a monolith defense chamber, so you will need to focus on using AoE DPS units that can clear out multiple enemy waves swiftly. Chambers 2 and 3 for Floor 11 have no other enemies of note and can be easily cleared by a well-built team.

Second half

Raiden Shogun + Yelan + Xiangling + Bennett
Neuvillette + Furina + Ineffa + Xilonen
Mavuika + Ororon + Chevreuse + Iansan
Clorinde + Yelan + Furina + Kazuha

The second half of Floor 11 has some tanky enemies, such as the Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker, and the Fluid Avatar of Lava. You can choose either a single-target DPS unit or an AoE DPS hypercarry to clear this half, as both are equally effective.

Floor 12

The following are the Ley Line Disorders for Floor 12 of the Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss:

First half: Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 75%.
Second half: Nightsoul-aligned DMG dealt by all party members is increased by 75%.

The newly added Lunar-Charged reaction is given priority in Floor 12 of the Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss, along with Nightsoul DMG dealt by Natlan characters. Keeping these buffs in mind, here are some teams you can use to clear Floor 12:

First half

Neuvillette + Furina + Ineffa + Xilonen
Neuvillette + Furina + Ororon + Fischl
Clorinde + Furina + Yelan + Kazuha
Raiden Shogun + Neuvillette + Furina + Xilonen

Using a team featuring Hydro and Electro characters will not only help you take advantage of the Ley Line Disorder buff, it is also the best choice for quickly defeating the Battle-Hardened Pipilpan Idol boss in Chamber 3. While this boss can certainly be defeated without Electro-Charged/Lunar-Charged reactions, using teams that can trigger these reactions will cut your combat time by half.

Second half

Mualani + Mavuika + Xilonen + Sucrose
Varesa + Iansan + Chevreuse + Bennett
Kinich + Mavuika + Emilie + Bennett
Chasca + Furina + Ororon + Bennett

The enemies in the second half of Floor 12 are all extremely tanky and require you to use well-built single-target DPS units. Even though the Ley Line Disorder buff for Floor 12 of the Genshin Impact 5.8 Spiral Abyss does provide a buff to Nightsoul-aligned DMG, try to refrain from using Mavuika as a main DPS for this half, as both the Fluid Avatar of Lava and the Burning-Aflame Wayob Manifestation enemies have high Pyro RES. Instead, she can be used as a sub-DPS in teams with other Natlan hypercarry units.

To quickly defeat the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King in Chamber 1, make sure to light its Flamegranates on fire so that they can explode and damage the boss.
