Key Takeaways
- Spiral Abyss has evolved in Genshin Impact, with new challenges and buffs for Pyro and Nightsoul characters in Version 5.3.
- The new Spiral Abyss in Version 5.3 will introduce a brand-new boss favoring Pyro and Nightsoul characters, with distinct strategies for both halves.
Recent information obtained from the beta servers for Genshin Impact has given players an overview of the challenges that await in the Spiral Abyss in Version 5.3. The Spiral Abyss has evolved considerably since the launch of Genshin Impact, and while the base format is unchanged, it cannot be denied that the developers have attempted to improve upon the experience.
Adding the Imaginarium Theater to Genshin Impact gave the Spiral Abyss more breathing room, as it was no longer the sole endgame activity. Furthermore, Version 5.1 added the ability for players to skip the first two Floors in the Spiral Abyss based on how well they performed in the previous cycle. While its difficulty has seen a huge jump since Version 4.1, old teams can still reliably clear the Spiral Abyss when used properly.

That being said, the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact comes with a few extra quirks for Version 5.3. Not only are blessings back on Floor 12, but they are more powerful than ever before. Rather controversially, they cater to the featured banner characters for the patch by providing a bonus to Pyro and Nightsoul-aligned DMG. The full lineup for the upcoming Spiral Abyss was datamined via HomDGCat, and it notably features the Solitary Suanni for the first time since its introduction in Version 4.4.
Genshin Impact: Spiral Abyss Waves and Blessings for Floor 12 in Version 5.3
Blessings
- Pyro DMG dealt by all party members’ Normal Attacks increased by 75%.
- All party members’ Nightsoul-aligned DMG increased by 75%.
First Half
- Chamber 12-1
- Yumkasaurus (x3)
- Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King (x1)
- Chamber 12-2
- Xuanwen Beast (x3)
- Solitary Suanni (x1)
- Chamber 12-3
- Biting-Cold Wayob Manifestation (x1)
- Construction Specialist Mek – Pneuma (x1)
Second Half
- Chamber 12-1
- Iktomisaurus (x3)
- Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker (x1)
- Chamber 12-2
- Tenebrous Mimesis – Ruin Guard (x1)
- Tenebrous Mimesis – Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker (x1)
- Chamber 12-3
- Tenebrous Papilla: Type III (x1)
It is important to mention that the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker is a brand-new world boss in Genshin Impact. She will make her debut in Version 5.3, both in the open world and the Spiral Abyss, and is designed to favor Pyro characters. Overall, the second half seems to prefer a hypercarry like Kinich, as Burning and Nightsoul attacks are especially effective against the abyssal shield of both the Tenebrous Papilla and the Tenebrous Mimesis.
On the other hand, the first half of the Spiral Abyss is definitely made with Citlali in mind. Many theorycrafters believe that Citlali in Genshin Impact is going to be the best Melt support in the game, on top of being Mavuika’s ideal teammate. While Mavuika and Arlecchino are expected to make short work of the first half, players will likely be able to brute-force their way through the Spiral Abyss with more unorthodox options, such as Navia. The new Spiral Abyss will kick off on January 16, 2025, and it will last until February 16, 2025. However, Genshin Impact players will be able to prepare Mavuika and Citlali ahead of time, as both characters are expected to hit the Event Banners on January 1.
