First off, this video was a couple hours late only because I may have fallen down the anime rabbit hole again... Second, you don't need to keep asking "WhEn WiLl yoU puLl foR sCarAmoUchE oN SpeLls OnlY???" The more I see it asked, the more I want to skip him out of spite 😈 If / when I pull for him, you'll know because it'll literally be the video's title & thumbnail.

The ruin guard falling montage was amazing💀💀

I highly recommend using Favonius sword on Lumine because its passive is amazing for energy generation and has a high ER substat. Also, EM on Lumine isn't important in hyperbloom because she won't be be triggering the reaction. In general, having really high ER on dendro Lumine is much more important than having high EM.

6:43 "Because she can just apply cryo to her normal attacks and I think that's the only character who can" Poor Chongyun :(

These farming montages are soo satisfying!! Thank you for putting the extra effort in for these

17:39 actually, I’m pretty sure that corrosion can kill you, but only a character that is on field, it will just bring the other party members down to 15%

Can’t lie if I was attempting a weapon only challenge my builds wouldn’t be broken but my controller would be after all the times I’d rage.

one good team you can use for abyss is Kazuha, Keqing, Dendro travaler and kuki. Before Nahida's release that was one of my favorite teams comps, and the fact that they're all sword users it's perfect for this account edit: a sac sword on lumine works perfectly

The ruin guard falling was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen in a loooong time…

“I think the only character that can apply cryo to their normal attacks is ayaka” Chongyun:

Probably the best way to distribute the characters is an Aggravate team and a freeze team, although freeze is at its best potential when using blizzard strayer. I'd say go with Keqing, Albedo, Lumine and Kazuha for aggravate (If you are more careful with the rotations you can change Albedo for Bennet or even Kuki for healing, but keep in mind that Albedo's burst is actually useful for this team bc of the EM buff), and freeze with Ayaka, Kaeya, Xingqiu and Layla. You can change Layla for Ayato once you get him but at the cost of defense, which isn't really needed in a freeze team

The way the ruin guards just flopped to the floor was so satisfying

5:35 don’t know about anyone else but I’m definitely not tired of the montages, they just tickle my brain, so satisfying

the ruin gaurds falling was so calming i hope no more ancient khaenrian artifacts dont come killing you anytime soon!

May the Wanderer come home early when you pull for him on spellsonly!

for the level up books i suggest teapot, you can get 20 purple books and 100 white ones every 3 days 😭 I have like 900 purple books mostly from tubby and the rest from quests i cant remember the last time i did a blue leyline thing

This floor 12 was brutal. I had to do wolves with xiao. And thunder bird with raiden

I was gonna do homework but not any more 🙃

2:08 that montage of ruin guards just falling.. this is exactly why I love your videos

The problem with Xingqiu in your proposed quickbloom team is that he has too much hydro application. He'll hog all the dendro. So for that reason, there is no reason to have both Keqing and Xingqiu on that team. And overall, you're probably better off with a hyperbloom team. Go with Albedo, Kaeya, or Layla in place of Keqing. Probably Albedo, except against the wolves, where you'll want Kaeya so you can freeze 'em. Alternately, go aggravate on that side, with Kuki, Keqing, DMC, and Kazuha. It'll mess up your other team, though, since it can't really use Xingqiu to freeze enemies with Bennett in the mix. And, of course, there's the third option, which is a 3 man team of DMC, Nilou, and Xingqiu.

i love how you set the nilotpala lotus collection montage in time with the music... truly next-level cinematography... you, sir, are an auteur

This abyss rotation has been pure pain. (And I only do Abyss on my main.) It's nice to see you making progress building your characters. My swords account has only five characters so far, but now that it's high enough AR for artifacts, that still feels like too many to build... And please keep up the collection montages! I love the way you edit them!

Cant wait for the scara pulls on spells only!💀 And your teams are pretty good!

I suggest you replace Bennett with Nilou on the Ayaka team, even if she isnt well invested ( just for the hydro application). Just because enemies tend to move a lot, and might miss Ayaka's burst

JAVA TYSM I JUST CAME BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL 4 CLASSES EARLY CUZ I WAS FELLING SICK AND I'M COUGHTHING SO MUCH IT. HURTS BUT THIS HAS MADE MY DAD A LOT BETTER TYSM AGAIN

I will never get tired of those farming montages, so satisfying 😍

actually even though Nilou would be preferibly placed on bloom, she can work as a hydro enabler if needed so, only problem would be healer, but otherwise nilou can work in freeze, but with the teams it seems preferibly that xingqiu should pass to the other team

Those teams look very good, also in Ayaka's team you could use Nilou as a hydro applier for permafrost, that could be cool

I love the montages! Finding cute little ways to incorporate farming into the video is amazing!

3:23 i’m ashamed you didn’t call the ganoderma dermatologists

For your teams, i'd say an aggravate/quicken team with kuki, mc, keqing, and a whatever character. And for ayaka get 4 PC blizzard strayer, it's in strongbox and helps you so you don't need much crit rate, Ayaka, layla (for cryo resonance for 15% more crit rate), xingqiu (Hydro application for freeze), And another just whatever character(Preferably bennet for dmg increase and heals, have kazuha on 1st team). Thats 2 teams the only bad part is albedo being unutilised but on that account itto isn't a possibility so albedo is pretty much just shields but even then layla is way better than albedo in that category, plus helps with cryo resonance. Thats my take on your abyss teams at least. This was more general teams than this specific abyss. I have no idea if you'll read this and I wasted 10 mins of my life though lets be honest I'm watching a genshin impact content creator, it's obvious I have no life to go back to Lol. Edit: use fav sword on mc for er and more particles from the passive. Kazuha could also help with energy problems just a little bit. Not much due to dendro not reacting to anemo but you get particles there so more energy. Alhaithum is also coming soon (I think, I don't read leaks) so that may also help.

I love the way hes saying i hope u guys dont get bored with these montages but he himself is spending hours

14:18 “you might be a fungus, but you’re not a fungi.” LMAO JAVA YOUR JOKES ARE KILLING ME 😭

Are you tired of this montage? ME: NOO, i'm finding them pretty amazing, CONTINUE

I love how the music was so chill when the guards were falling and at the last part *BIG THUD*

Considering the increased difficulty of this Spiral Abyss, that was a fairly nice run of it! Well done!

Everyone thinks that DEF means defence but I’m sure on artifices it just means *definitely not usable*

I love the montages sm, appreciate the effort put in because it looks like pain to edit

Just got Rosaria and beidou today watching you has given me motivation to play genshin again id go as far to say I’d become a KZfaqr because of you I truly have to say thank you for being such a cool KZfaq Java 😌

When you said I don’t like the floors where there is a lot of little enemys but I like the floors where there is 2 big enemies it was the wisest words I have ever heard!!

Love the montages!! Especially with the synchronization of music🤩🤩

As for the question you asked about the team building option. Ayaka should have a freeze team because the cryo set bonus and the ability to immobilize your enemy is rather very helpful especially when enemies move too much since ayaka burst can easily miss none frozen enemies , so ayaka with one hydro is important even if nilou isn’t usable now using her to her aoe ring on hydro is good , unless you end up getting ayato then you can pair ayaka with xingqui and ayato in the hyperbloom team . So your teams should be like this : > AYAKA / NILOU / LAYLA / KAZUHA , of course you can switch Layla with keaya if you don’t need the defensive option but with no healer team I think you do On the second team using keqing and Kuki in the same hyperbloom team is a bad idea since keqing will end up stealing hyperbloom ticks from Kuki and since she not build full Em they won’t do much damage , so I recommend you either focus on hyperbloom Kuki with xingqui dendro mc and maybe in the future ayato or alhaitham , or focus on aggrevate team with keqing take out xingqui and put him with ayaka and use albedo instead since you don’t have another anemo electro or dendro unite yet until alhaitham So the team will be like this : > XINGQUI/ DMC/ KUKI/ albedo if you decide to go hyperbloom, if you want to go aggrevate KEQING/ DMC/ KUKI ( not full Em btw but damage ) / this spot is flexible until you get another anemo or denduro unite like alhaitham There is also other options , like electro charge with : XINGQUI/ Kuki / kazuha keqing Soup teams : BENNET / KAZUHA / XINGQUI/ keqing or Kuki You can play burgeon teams also : since kazuha can swirl pyro with his burst when he stand on bennet burst he will be the one who trigger them and since he builds a lot of Em they will do big damage : KAZUHA / BENNET / XINGQUI/ DMC . JUST REMEMBER SOMEONE, when you play DMC with pyro unites make sure to first infuse there burst with hydro like xingqui burst or electro with Kuki skill because of pyro touch ut first it will just explode and do damage and will stop applying dendro anymore

It's so awesome that you don't put boring stuff like collecting ascension materials as a long video but, as short awesome montages

Really like the montage where the rythm on clicking suits the bgm, nice

The crocodile jumping ayaka during the montage had no business being that funny 😭😭😭

the montages in this video at SO SATISFYING!!! PLEASE ADD MORE MONTAGES THEY ARE SO SO SO SO SO AMAZING

The best for Lumine Dendro is a Sacrificial Sword, so if you got one It would be pretty good to give it to her

Seeing that Java uploaded new vid saved my evening from boredom

0:48 I had that issue a few days ago with fungi! I had to log out and log back in to fix it

This was nice to come home too because my mom came home from Mexico and she likes to yell at me because I exist, so this’ll numb the pain of being called a disappointment

“You might be a fungus but you are not a fun guy”-Java 2022

Babe wake up the objectively most entertaining genshin content creator just posted

The best teams I could think of for you are: Keqing, Shinobu, Dendro Traveller, Bennett/Albedo (Aggravate) Ayaka, Xingqiu, Kazuha, Layla/Kaeya (Freeze) Xingqiu really wants to be used for both Hyperbloom and Freeze, but I'd say he's more necessary in Freeze as you can use an Aggravate team instead. If you're gonna play Bennett in the Aggravate team, make sure you don't infuse Dendro Traveller's burst with pyro, as it'll explode and stop applying dendro. His ATK buff is still valuable, albeit less than other teams. If you don't want to deal with overloads and exploding Dendro Traveller's burst, you can use Albedo instead for an EM buff from his burst, and you could also put 4 Archaic Petra to get a 35% electro DMG. Also, consider using an ER sword like Fav on Dendro Traveller as she needs a lot of ER. Layla and Xingqiu should be enough to keep your Freeze team alive. I would prefer Kaeya instead of Layla personally for more damage and energy, but you can't do damage if you're dead.

5:41 LMAOO the crocodile caught me off guard- the way he just yeet himself askjhsdkgj

About the teams, Ayaka/Kaeya/Kazuha/Bennet is a good one, since Bennet helps both Ayaka and kaeya. For the other one, you can do something like Kuki/DendroMC/Layla/Xingqiu, since you can freeze and hyperbloom at the same time, but that needs a lvl90 kuki with some good EM for high damage (you can always substitute Layla for Keqing, but that means that you loose some hyperblooms from kuki). In case of any abyss that cryo doesn't work, you can use Keqing/Bennet/Kazuha/Flex slot (Layla or albedo)

With abyss you probably need to try it on day with buff that heals after doing Ultimate. But still great job. Its so intresting to see how you challange yourselfe :3

Maybe for an ayaka freeze team you could use Kazuha, Layla and Nilou. I think it would be pretty good considering Nilou is the only other hydro u have, maybe if you get ayato he could replace her

You could switch Xingqiu and Kazuha for your two teams. Kazuha groups and buffs for your aggravate team while Xingqiu allows you to freeze w/ your Ayaka. With freeze immobilizing enemies, Layla’s shield, and Xingqiu’s minor healing & damage reduction you should be pretty good on defensive utility in case u feel like swapping out Bennet for another character.

I would make an ayaka freeze comp, with xingqiu, ayaka, Layla and kazuha. Layla is a shield, and xingqiu heals a bit. And a dendro electro team, with keqing, shinobu, dendro traveler, and Bennett. You could possibly switch Bennett out for albedo, since shinobu is already a healer, but I would keep him, because he is an amazing buffer.

Now just waiting for Swords Only Genius Invocation where SwordsOnly uses just character cards with swords in them.

Firstly I just wanna say this was a really fun style video with the montage Here are some of my team suggestions 1. Ayaka , Layla, kazuha , Bennett (Use kazuha to swirl pyro and then melt with ayaka) 2. Ayaka , xingqui , Layla , kazuha (Perma freeze + rain sword heal can + shield can be enough if there is no bleeding ..... May be not to this abyss) 3. Kequing, Dendro MC, Kazuha, Kuki (Aggravate ) 4. Kequing, Xingqui , kuki, kazuha ( Electro charge ) 5. Kequing, Xingqiu , Bennett, kuki ( Modified national + electro charge ) 6. Kequing, Dendro MC, albedo, kuki ( Aggravate + albedo em buff + the crystal shield can be of help) ........ 7. May be in Future Ayato , Dendro MC, Bennett, Kuki ( Hyperbloom team ) 8. Ayato, Kequing, kuki, xingqui ( Electro charge plus double resonance of electro and hydro ) 9. Ayato, Ayaka , Kazuha, (flex slot ) ( Sibling + Inazuma squad might be fun not to forget it is also an perma freeze team) P.S there are many possibilities but at the end of the day see which one you find fun ..... :)

him thinking that he wont need to farm for a while Dendro keqing but male:are u sure about that

Don't worry, this abyss was definitely worse than the previous one. About the teams why not try: Ayaka, Layla, Kazu and Xingqiu in the first one and in the second Keqing, Albedo, Lumine and Kuki? First one is basically freeze, so less damage taken so Xq heals should be enough. Second aggravate with shield from bedo is not that bad, at least I think so, hehe. Anyway great video as always, happy to waiting for another one! ^^

with the second team you have, you can put bennetts burst down and immediately burst with kazuha to infuse his swirls with pyro regardless of the enemies and what elements they have infused. Just a cool trick if you want to melt with ayaka.

great editing, this spiral abyss F12 is the land of chonk so you really need fully built characters and stronger teams than what you are able to put together at the moment, seemed like you did as well could be expected given what you are working with right now

the supposed glitched mob actually is from underground, the golden slumber quest takes you through that area

These montages are HILARIOUS

Your abyss going was actually nice, it’s just right now the devs have really satisfied the minmaxer community to make some more challenge

a non permafreeze ayaka is pretty hard to run, so i do think xingqiu on the ayaka team would be better eventually, but for now if you group up enemies well enough with kazuha they should be staggered enough to not move out of ayaka’s burst range

lmao the spino croc in the bg just flying 5:41

That lotus collecting montage is satisfying

hi java! ive been sick with the flu for the first time in my life! you uploading made me feel a bit better!

I love how on your main Nilou is a godess and here she is just…. yea

I can imagine that the spiral abyss is hell without bows. Long range is a huge part of my play style, especially with any type of ruin or abyss enemies.

I just enjoy listening to you. Even tho it's just farming, its relaxing and you are super fun. You made my day, every Time you upload!

team ideas: -ayaka w layla and xingqiu as a freeze team -aggravate keqing with kuki& dendro mc -bennett, kazuha with kaeya for melts, could add albedo for extra off field dps or with supporting artifact set or anyone really last spot in all teams is optional just put whatever works best

the montages are just _chefs kiss_

Gl on ur ayato and Alhaithem pulls I hope you get them ( ayato coming in 12 days from the 15th of dec and alhaithem coming in 3.4 )

I would recommend an Ayato/Xingqiu/DMC/Kuki Hyperbloom team and monocryo team with Ayaka/Kaeya/Layla/Kazuha. Tho I'm more sure with the first team, dmc only for dendo application so sac or fav sword are great, ayato and Xingqiu for dmg and kuki does hyperbloom/healing. Also mono cryo is viable since many enemies in abyss can't be frozen anyway. Love your vids, keep them up!

Dendro in a hyperbloom team doesn't necessarily need em since it's the electro units em that counts. So if you use hyperbloom maybe go for a ER substat weapon (fav or sac) for her. I think... though what you did also works I suppose

“Ayaka is the only character that can infuse autos with cryo” : chongyun weeping

Can't wait for sage man to come out so you can do your full bloom team on swords only

damn those ruin guards fell with such grace and poise

The farming montages were pretty nice

Hey Java I'm wondering if it wouldn't be an option to put sacrificial sword on Lumine too, I might be mistaken because i don't know how to identify the weapons for their icons only but I think you have two of those Btw really love the series thank you for your hard work ❤️

ayaka is a lifesaver for the liyue mondstadt weapon domains 🙏🏻 don’t need to wait forever for a skill cooldown and the burst getting taken away is not that bad

Java the cup always seem to amuse us on Genshin content

I love how he said “i know u are a fun-gus but u are not a fun guy” 😂

I am so excitet. Javas Videos are the highlight of my week!

The alligator about to jump you during the lotus montage LMAO

I didnt know i'd enjoy watching someone farming

I think putting Lumine on a fav is much better, since she doesn't really care about EM. She is not damage focused, so spread is irrelevant for her, and hyperbloom takes the proccing electro character's EM for it's dmg.

You could look into crafting sapwood blade (if you haven't already) for lumine since it gives 30 er and buffs em to active character even from off field

I really love to see the progress on the acc, and as always: play as you find it more comfortable, but I would go with teams like these: Keqing, Lumine, Kuki, Xingqiu/Bennett and Ayaka, Kaeya, Layla/Xingqiu/Bennett, Kazuha. I was thinking of the healer issue, which I totally understand, but I believe until Jean will save you, nothing can fill that properly. Layla is not so great as a subdps (her dmg is lost on me, even though she has the Key of Khaj-Nisut), so Kaeya could fill the role better + he's better battery than Layla. As for everything else... Well, not much I could say, ig. Anyway, I am excited to see your next update and, who knows, maybe for SwordsOnly it will be my long awaited Kaeya special.

One of the best if not the best videos in the series Good job😊

For dendro traveler, it’s best to focus on Er first, Em second, because the burst is the most important part, aim for 180 min 220 max Er and then worry about Em

This videos shows how I feel in this spiral abbys

The best weapon for travelers Is favonious for ur account and u are upgrading that em weapon that u can refine and get ur kazuha's burst downtime as none

by the time al haitham is released (because he’s a dendro sword user we know this because in cut scenes and stuff he uses a sword) you’d be able to use nilou because the team can be dmc nilou al haitham and xingqui

Now dont drink coffee because you need sleep after all this farming😂😂
