Key Takeaways
- The leaked Spiral Abyss Blessing said to be coming in Version 5.4 of Genshin Impact provides a stacking buff to damage done by Normal Attacks, and causes Charged or Plunging Attacks to unleash shockwaves.
- This could hint at a potential rerun for characters like Ayato, Xianyun, or Itto.
- Yoimiya and Wriothesley could also make excellent use of this new Spiral Abyss buff.
Genshin Impact has introduced a new Blessing for the Spiral Abyss in its latest beta build, which could hint at a potential rerun for Ayato, Xianyun, or Itto. While the Spiral Abyss may no longer be the sole endgame activity in Genshin Impact, it remains a popular aspect of the game, providing consistent Primogem rewards and often shaping the title’s meta. The Spiral Abyss changes each month, and the upcoming version in January 2025 is expected to introduce the Solitary Suanni to Floor 12.
While some Spiral Abyss trends in Genshin Impact have been controversial, such as increasing the hit points of the enemies on Floor 12, there have been positive changes too. Most notably, the Natlan era in Genshin Impact finally introduced a way for players to skip certain Floors in the Spiral Abyss. Furthermore, Version 5.3 is expected to bring back Blessings to Floor 12.

Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Surprising Buff to Citlali
While most of Citlali’s ability kit has been finalized, the latest beta build for Genshin Impact has given the 5-Star Support an unexpected buff.
Though Blessings in Version 5.3 will greatly favor Pyro characters, a recent (and unused) buff was datamined via HomDGCat. Despite not being yet confirmed, this Spiral Abyss Blessing is likely reserved for Version 5.4. It provides a stacking buff to damage done by Normal Attacks, and causes Charged or Plunging Attacks to unleash shockwaves. Given that the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact can often hint at character reruns on the Event Banner, there are a few candidates for whom this buff will benefit.
Genshin Impact: New Spiral Abyss Blessing
- When a Normal Attack hits an enemy, increases DMG dealt by Normal Attacks, stackable.
- When Charged Attack or Plunge Attack hits an enemy, unleashes a shockwave that deals AoE True DMG.
The stacking buff for Normal Attacks would work wonders with a character like Ayato in Genshin Impact, who hasn’t been featured on the Event Banners since Version 4.2. On the other hand, characters such as Xianyun and Itto would be able to excel with the buff to Charged Attacks and Plunging Attacks. Given that a new Beetle Brawl event is coming to Genshin Impact in Version 5.3, and since Xianyun is skipping the Event Banners for that patch, it makes her the most likely candidate to get a rerun in Version 5.4.
On the other hand, the same can be said for Itto, as the Beetle Brawl largely centers on his character. Possible dark horse candidates include Yoimiya and Wriothesley, as both characters haven’t had reruns in a while, and both characters can make use of either Spiral Abyss buff. It should be noted that Mizuki is being introduced in Version 5.4 as a new Standard Banner character in Genshin Impact. With Itto, Ayato, Yoimiya, and Mizuki all being from Inazuma, Version 5.4 could potentially end up focusing on the Electro Nation once again.
