Genshin Impact: How to Beat Floor 12 of the 1.6 Spiral Abyss

For Genshin Impact players, doing well in the Spiral Abyss is an indicator of how strong an account is. Alongside testing the power of an account and its characters, the Spiral Abyss offers great rewards for players who can achieve 3 stars on every chamber.

Floor 12 is the final floor, and the final trial before players beat the entirety of the Spiral Abyss. This guide will breakdown what enemies players will have to face, and what characters and team comps do statistically the best, to ensure players are able to 3 Star every Chamber.

The Best Ways to Beat Floor 12 of the 1.6 Spiral Abyss

  • Chamber 1 of Floor 12 is simple, with players having to fight two Geovishaps on each half. Geovishaps have a high physical resistance, and are stunned when attacking players guarded by a shield. This means players should bring in characters that can activate Elemental Reactions, and a character with a shielding ability.
  • Chamber 2 is much longer, with players having to fight nearly every form of Treasure Hoarder as well as a Fatui Cicin Mage in the first half, and then a Stonehide Lawachurl and Geovishap Hatchling in the second half. The sheer amount of enemies in the first half means players should bring a character with good crowd control, while the second half should feature characters who can do strong Elemental Reactions much like in Chamber 1.
  • Chamber 3 is easily the hardest of the three. The first half features an Electro Abyss Lector, Pyro Abyss Mage, and Hydro Abyss Mage. The second half is similar, with a Hydro Abyss Mage, Pyro Abyss Mage, and Cryo Abyss Mage. Players should either bring characters with multiple different Elemental abilities to break all the different shield types, or bring characters who can use Swirl to use the Abyss Mages to break each other’s shields. Most importantly, the first team should have a Cryo character for the Electro Abyss Mage’s shield, and a Cryo or Pyro character for the Hydro shield.

Unlike the other floors of the Spiral Abyss, Floor 12 has no Ley Line Disorders. This means players will have to rely on the bonuses they can select on each floor, and the base strength of their team. Because of this, players often bring characters that are known for dealing insane damage, or incredibly useful support.

The most popular teams for players who have achieved all 9 Stars on this floor are Venti, Ganyu, Diona, and Mona for the first half, with Xingqiu, Zhongli, Chongyun, and Hu Tao for the second half. However, these teams include characters that most players likely don’t have. Luckily, there are many substitutions for these characters so players can do Floor 12 with whatever built characters they already have.

Chamber 1 and the second half of Chamber 2 are much easier with shields for the Geovishaps, which is why Diona and Zhongli are so useful. However, any other shielding character like Noelle or Xinyan can serve a similar function. For Chamber 2, the amount of enemies makes Venti incredibly useful, as he keeps enemies in one spot for easy damage dealing. For players without Venti, Sucrose’s abilities are very similar, making her a good replacement. Finally, any characters that deal strong Elemental damage are great for this floor.

The final stage of the Spiral Abyss can be difficult, but as long as players know what they should expect, they can build proper teams and prepare accordingly. The Spiral Abyss is about damage, so any character can do well as long as they have a good build and are fighting alongside complementary characters.
