Recent datamining from the Genshin Impact beta servers has uncovered some intriguing details about the upcoming Spiral Abyss in Version 5.8. This version emphasizes Lunar-Charged and Nightsoul DMG, maintaining the Spiral Abyss as a central element of the endgame experience despite the additions of Stygian Onslaught and Imaginarium Theater. The Spiral Abyss not only tests player skills but also encourages the use of characters featured in current Event Banners. Over time, the Spiral Abyss has undergone considerable changes alongside the game’s evolution.
However, many players feel that the hit point inflation on Floor 12 has become excessive during the Natlan era. Compared to Version 4.8, Floor 12 in Version 5.8 shows an 88.35% increase in total hit points, effectively doubling the damage players need to deal to complete it within the time limit. While the return of Ley Line Disorders to Floor 12 helps mitigate some challenges, the associated blessings primarily favor the featured 5-Star characters. In addition, players can expect a peculiar Imaginarium Theater in Version 5.8, particularly tailored for Ineffa.
This season will introduce a Lunar-Charged blessing and new Electro-Charged world boss. The latter half is expected to enhance Melt teams from Natlan, while Varesa is also likely to perform well in Overload compositions. The first half may be manageable with Neuvillette, especially as it typically involves facing multiple enemies per wave. Additionally, characters like Citlali and Chasca could serve as vital components in Melt team strategies.
Interestingly, the community has noted that this iteration of the Spiral Abyss seems easier than recent cycles, especially as Freeze teams will no longer dominate after April. The Spiral Abyss will run until September 16, 2025, overlapping with the launch of Nod-Krai. Although no characters have been officially confirmed yet, leaks suggest that a 5-Star Male Electro character and a 5-Star Female Geo character may be added in Version 6.0, with more details expected to emerge in July 2025. Version 5.8 is slated for release on July 30, 2025.
