1. April Spiral Abyss Update and Features
The Spiral Abyss was updated on April 16th, with buffs and monster placements changed to coincide with Escopi's release.
The Abyssal Moon Spire blessing causes a shockwave upon triggering an Ice Elemental reaction. The 12th floor's Ley Line Disorder grants 75% increased Geo DMG in the first half and 75% increased Ice DMG in the second half.
The buffs seem to be aligned with the 5.6 version's banner lineup, with the second half especially favoring Escopi.
The first half buffs Geo characters like Navia, Albedo, and Chiori, while the second half gives Sitlali a small buff.
We recommend characters that counter the monster placements rather than just those who receive buffs.
The first half features boss monsters, requiring quick clears, while the second half uses waves to extend the time.
2. Recommended Spiral Abyss Team Comps and Strategies
The first half features monsters immune to Hydro DMG, limiting the use of Hydro characters like Neuvillette, Furina, and Yelan. The presence of the Secret Mechanical Constructor encourages the use of a Geo character (Natta) to maintain poise.
The second half features Electro-shielded monsters, limiting the use of Electro characters, and monsters resistant to Hydro DMG, hindering Hydro characters as well. The presence of Combustion Slimes also discourages mono-Pyro and Aggravate teams.
The first half benefits from Pyro, Electro, and Geo (Overload recommended), while the second half benefits from Ice, Pyro, Geo, and Dendro.
For breaking the Constructor's gimmick, we recommend a Natta on-field DPS like Mabika, Kinichi, or Barsa to maintain poise. Pyro supports like Sitl, Unlucky Pyroslinger, Olurun, and Silo are also good.
3. Example Team Comps and Strategies
First Half: Mabika Overload
Second Half: Navia, Siloni, Furina (counters monster placement, ignores Ley Line Disorder)
Arlecchino can be used as a Pyro Melt DPS (Gaboar and Melt can be split between halves)
You need to understand the monster placements and attack patterns for each chamber.
4. Detailed Analysis of Each Chamber's Monster Placements and Strategies
Chamber 1, First Half: Hydro Tulpa (immune to Hydro, use Pyro/Electro reactions, cancel absorption pattern with Elemental reactions)
Chamber 1, Second Half: 2 Waves (Abyss Lector, Millennial Pearl Seahorse) - Electro shield breaking is crucial
Chamber 2, First Half: Secret Mechanical Constructor (use Natta character, destroy totems when it summons pillars)
Chamber 2, Second Half: 3 Waves (Fontaine Mechanicals, Natta Combustion Slimes, Large Electro Lawachurl) - Electro Lawachurl shield breaking is crucial (absorbs Elemental Energy if failed)
Chamber 3, First Half: 2 Hydro Phantasms (immune to Hydro), ranged/melee Blubberbeasts (form-changing attacks)
Chamber 3, Second Half: 3 Waves (2 Venom Hounds, Geovishap Hatchling, Consecrated Beasts) - If you fail to defeat the Consecrated Beasts in time, they will summon totems and then destroy them, inducing a Grogginess state.
5. Importance of Using Natta Characters and Encouraging Viewer Participation
The difficulty of the Spiral Abyss can vary depending on whether you use Natta characters.
You may experience a shortage of time due to increased waves if you lack Natta characters.
Encourage viewers to share their thoughts on the Spiral Abyss and the team comps they used in the comments.
