III. Recommended Team Combinations
First Half (Charge Buff Environment)
The Thunder and Water Reaction Team is the best choice, allowing for quick damage boosts and targeting the Mirror Girl and Pipil Pan.
Recommended Lineup:
Main Carry: Inef / Ororon
Off-Carry: Yelan / Xingqiu
Support: Forrina (Healing + Damage Amplification)
Flex: Shilonen / Neuvilette
Alternative:
Dual Water (Ylan + Xingqiu) + Thunder Carry (Inef / Ororon) + Support (Forrina / Zhongli).
For those looking for a large-scale clear, bring Neuvilette for extensive water damage.
Second Half (Blooming Buff)
A Grass-Water-Bloom team is optimal, quickly clearing clones and adds while also offering sustained bursts against high-HP bosses.
Recommended Lineup:
Core: Nilou + Nashida
Off-Carry/Healer: Xinhai
Flex: Rauma / Chitrali / Bennett
Alternative:
A Grass-Water-Fire Fusion team: Nashida + Xingqiu / Xinhai + Alekino + Chitrali, offering strong single-target and area-of-effect damage. High-burst team: Alekino + Chitrali + Yelan + Xilonin, suitable for speedrunning bosses.
IV. Clearing Tips
Prioritize Reaction Buffs: Charge Reaction is extremely explosive in the first half, while Bloom is the core damage mechanic in the second half.
Ensure Survival: Corrupted Hounds and Moonflies will continuously drain health, making healing essential.
Capitalize Stun Window: Whether you're a Hermit, Kenki, or Stone Enchanter, killing Spirit Beasts or waiting for special phases can create a long-term weakening effect, so focus on your bursts.
Pay attention to enemy priorities: Deal with summons or clones first, then focus on the boss to avoid wasting DPS.
V. Conclusion
Genshin Impact's 12th Abyss in version 6.0 emphasizes reaction damage and teamwork:
Focus on Thunder and Water Charge in the first half to quickly expose the boss's weaknesses.
In the second half, focus on Grass and Water Bloom, relying on sustained damage and healing to maintain stability.
As long as you choose the right lineup based on the mechanics and properly allocate the main, secondary, and auxiliary Cs, it is not difficult to clear the level with full stars. Players can flexibly adjust according to their own training level, experiencing the explosive damage of reactions and enjoying the fun of strategic combat.
