Vortex Gaming

· This Spiral Abyss blessing triggers a shockwave dealing fixed damage when characters trigger Swirl reactions. It's favorable for Anemo DPS or support characters.
· Floor 11 Ley Line Disorder grants 60% Anemo and Cryo DMG Bonus. The first half mainly features Pyro enemies, and the second half Cryo enemies, making it favorable for Pyro/Cryo DPS characters.
· Floor 11 Caution Monsters: The Electro Abyss Herald in the second half of Chamber 2 drains Energy Recharge if hit by its Electro orbs, so avoid them. The Moonlight Monster in the second half of Chamber 3 drains HP and debuffs character stats, so a healer is recommended.
· Floor 12 Ley Line Disorder grants Anemo and Cryo DMG Bonus. The first half seems to favor Furina/Wanderer, and the second half Neuvillette/Skirk.
· Floor 12 Monster Layout and Mechanics:

Category	Monster	Key Mechanics & Strategy Tips
12-1 First Half	Ruin Grader, Ruin Destroyer	· Disadvantageous for Physical DPS; high HP. · During invincibility phases, lure core minions towards the main body to shorten clear time.
12-1 Second Half	Fatui Anemo Cicin Mage, Moonlight Illusion Ravi	· Anemo Cicin Mage: High Anemo RES and has airborne patterns, so Freeze or crowd control skills are useful. · Moonlight Illusion Ravi: High Pyro/Hydro RES, and intermittently applies debuffs that reduce healing/damage/CRIT Rate. Healing the entire party to full HP with a party-wide healer removes the debuff and grants an ATK buff. A healer is almost essential.
12-2 First Half	Jadeplume Terrorshroom	· Can be easily defeated with Pyro characters. · After a certain period, it spits out 2-3 Pyro cores; destroying them with Pyro attacks deals significant damage. Spreading the Pyro field on the ground with an Anemo character is also effective. · Characters with shields or interruption resistance are helpful.
12-2 Second Half	Fatui Electro Cicin Mage, Black-Gun Granny	· Electro Cicin Mage: Has airborne movements, so be careful not to miss skills. · Black-Gun Granny: Watch her attack patterns and dodge. After a certain period, she equips gauntlets, increasing all resistances by 60%. At this time, you must destroy the three summoned objects with elemental reactions to prevent the resistance increase and suppress her fast movement patterns.
12-3 First Half	Moonlight Frostwolf	· Apply Pyro or Electro to the wolf, then use Anemo to Swirl it and destroy its Cryo shield. Due to high Anemo RES, raw DPS characters like Wanderer/Xiao will need an Anemo RES shredder. · When the shield is broken, it enters a stunned state, and its resistances are greatly reduced, so unleash maximum damage then. · Its attacks are painful, so a healer or shielder is recommended.
12-3 Second Half	Automaton (Cryo Anemo)	· Consistently apply Cryo attacks to deplete its gauge, which reduces all resistances. Characters with many Cryo hits are advantageous. · You can also clear it using Pyro characters without Cryo characters. In this case, its resistance only increases to 50% instead of 210%, making it perfectly manageable. · Its water jet attacks are very painful, so dodge them well during combat.

· Recommended Team: Wanderer, Faruzan, Bennett, Xiangling (Compromise F2P weapons)
· Since Wanderer contributes a high percentage of damage, it's crucial to maximize his damage time within Bennett's field.
· The Ruin Grader is a frequently appearing boss, making it unfavorable for Physical DPS characters like Eula.
· Due to its high HP, clear times can be long. During invincibility phases, it's best to lure core minions towards the main body to reduce damage loss.

· Recommended Team: Neuvillette, Furina, Jean, Fischl (Compromise F2P weapons)
· The Fatui Anemo Cicin Mage has airborne patterns, so be careful not to miss skills.
· The Moonlight Illusion Ravi, about 15 seconds after being summoned, will drain the entire party's HP and apply a debuff. At this point, you must heal the entire party to full HP with a party-wide healer or a healing character to remove the debuff and gain an ATK buff.
· Its HP itself is not particularly high, so if you can manage the debuff well, various teams can clear it.

· Recommended Team: Arlecchino, Furina, Charlotte, Bennett (Compromise F2P weapons)
· You can use other Cryo or Hydro characters in Charlotte's slot, and other Pyro DPS characters in Arlecchino's slot.
· The Jadeplume Terrorshroom is a monster with high HP, so it's not too difficult if you use a burst damage team.
· The Pyro cores it spits out must be destroyed with Pyro attacks to deal significant burst damage. Spreading the Pyro field on the ground with an Anemo character like Kazuha is also effective.
· Characters that provide shields or interruption resistance during the Jadeplume Terrorshroom's attack patterns will make combat easier. It's recommended to defeat it within 8 minutes and 40 seconds remaining.

· Recommended Team: Raiden Shogun (C2), Xiangling, Bennett, Chevreuse (Compromise F2P weapons)
· Note that Yelan is better in Raiden's slot, Arlecchino or Furina are better in Xiangling's slot, and Noblesse Oblige 4-piece set is better for Chevreuse.
· The Fatui Electro Cicin Mage has airborne movements, so be careful not to miss skills.
· The Black-Gun Granny's attack patterns are very threatening, so watch them carefully and dodge.
· After a certain period, she equips gauntlets, increasing all resistances by 60%. At this time, you must destroy the three objects summoned near her with elemental reactions. If you fail to destroy the objects, she will move and attack at a very high speed, so focus on destroying the gauntlets.
· You might think a Cryo character is needed for the next chamber's Automaton, but it can be cleared sufficiently with Pyro characters like Raiden and Arlecchino.

· Recommended Team: Wanderer, Faruzan, Furina, Jean (Compromise F2P weapons)
· Neuvillette is much better in the Signal Officer slot, and Furina can also be brought, but this team is for those who only have Columbina as a Pyro character.
· The Moonlight Frostwolf, immediately after starting, applies Pyro or Electro and then summons a phantom wolf with a Cryo shield after a short wait.
· Normal Pyro/Electro application cannot remove the shield; you must Swirl Pyro or Electro with an Anemo character to destroy the Cryo shield.
· When the shield is broken, it enters a stunned state, and its resistances are greatly reduced, so unleash maximum damage then.
· While Pyro Swirl is more effective at breaking the shield, the mechanic seems designed to allow Electro-Charged teams to also perform well, aligning with Furina's banner.
· The wolf's attacks are painful, so a healer or shielder is recommended.
· While typical favored teams can clear it in about 1 minute, if you can't defeat it quickly, the Swirl-requiring pattern will repeat, so when using an Electro-Charged team, pay attention to Electro application and Swirl timing.

· Recommended Team: Neuvillette, Furina, Fischl, Jean (Compromise F2P weapons)
· If Neuvillette's stats are good, you can replace the Columbina slot with Furina, Yelan, Xingqiu, Arlecchino, etc.
· The Automaton can be cleared using Pyro characters even without Cryo characters. Although you cannot deplete its Cryo gauge, its resistance only increases to 50% instead of 210%, making it perfectly manageable.
· The Automaton's water jet attacks are very painful, so dodge them as much as possible during combat.
· Neuvillette is easy to shoot while moving, and the Viridescent Venerer 4-piece set reduces Electro RES, making him effective when running an Electro-Charged team.
· If using Bennett, be careful not to be instantly defeated by the enemy's water jet attacks via Reverse Vaporize while standing in Bennett's field.
