Fontaine is upon us and so is the 4.1 update. I imagine a new sword character may be on the horizon in upcoming patches, so we need to both save up our primogems and try to finish building our current characters. So today we bestowed a crown upon Ayaka's head for the first time.
However, the Spiral Abyss is still proving to be quite a challenge...
Swords Only in Genshin Impact can be quite challenging at times. However, as the self-proclaimed master of "Weapon" Only challenges in this game, I am able to best any obstacle (probably).
HoYoVerse put out a tweet saying "Polearm Impact"... So I decided to take it upon myself to make a new account, but only use characters who wield a sword because absolutely nobody asked me to.

Speaking of Opera GX, I downloaded it for the first time and I noticed whenever I click on a Genshin web event, which opens the browser, there is no sound. KZfaq is fine though. And I tried opening in Chrome to test and the sound is back. I don't know how OperaGX works, the background music is on and plays some random music but doesn't work on web events for some reason.

@RichardiOS275 9 ай бұрын

not gonna lie, I think SwordImpact has the ability to clear Abyss 12 But it will take some skills, learning the enemies, and swapping teams for the 3rd chamber You really wanna bring Kazuha to the 2nd half for Chamber 1 and 2, it makes it so much easier, and don't mind the 3rd chamber first as you will need to swap the teams anyways Bring Alhaitham Hyperbloom (Gotta build him first ofc) for 1st half chamber 1 and 2 for ST Damage, and Ayaka Freeze at 2nd (or Keqing), and remember that the Meka with the machinegun moves the least. You won't be able to freeze the Hydro Eidolons cause of their self warming mechanic, but that should be fine either way, you'll wanna watch Spiral Abyss guide videos to really figure out how to efficiently deal with the enemies I've beaten this abyss floor 12 on my alt account which I have never been able to, so yea

@archeasphere 9 ай бұрын

Maybe even swap from freeze to melt ayaka since pyro is helpful against the 2nd half. Ayaka would swap off 4 bliz to some other 2p atk 2p from bliz and then kazu swirls pyro to up the melt count which would make ayakas melt proc more per burst. Only a suggestion since copellium has a cryo shield and most of the enemies that can be frozen in 2nd half get shreded by melt ayaka anyways. Plus a heal/buff is always nice.

For floor 12, you could try putting hyperboom with xq on it, and do the second half with the ayaka team, except swap kazuha out for VV Lynette, since she can remove the bosses shield in one skill 👍

Java! If you need more team space(A.K.A: more team slots) If you go in the left-bottom corner in the party setup, You can create more party slots! (EXTRA INSTRUCTION IF NEEDED:) 1. Go to party setup 2. Move mouse to bottom left(next to the name of the team) 3. Click on the thing that has 3 lines and a person of some kind 4. CLICK 5. click on the bottom team below the 4th party And now you should have at least 16 extra party setups! imagine if java actually read this tho 😂😂😂😂

@pokefan05 9 ай бұрын

If you want to make the damage higher in your bloom team, Ayato DOES have good DPS, but you'd have to use him as the driver. If you use the Hyperbloom team, you technically COULD run Ayato in the freeze team though I haven't personally tested how consistent the freeze is, so you might have to use Ayato as the on field DPS while Ayaka's burst is active.

the main reason i think you arent making a lot of progress on the current abyss is because the second half *heavily* favors pyro main dps/ mono pyro teams, while top half you need some type of hydro / bloom team, altering your teamcomp to the abyss is where i got stuck for a while aswell but by making these changes i managed to have this abyss be my first 36 starred abyss even

Without access to Fischl or at least Yae, aggravate loses a ton of damage. He's probably better off Benching Keqing for floor 12. In the typical Keqing aggravate team Keqing herself is only doing about 1/3 of the team's damage (with Fischl doing about as much while off field).

My Ayato is also on a bloom team and he can work! You can honestly leave him as a dps too since all you need is his burst for hydro application. You can then get his burst back by using his skill for stragler clean up. This always made sure I can do my rotation again. Rotation > Ayato skill when all the rotaion stuff is basically over > should have burst again so rotation again > profit Leaving him as a dps helps too cause his hydro application is big number application. Hope this helps!

Around the 5:58 time; it is honestly surprising that Java still doesn't know that he can have more than 4 teams, a feature that was introduced in patch 3.0. And not just for Swords Only, but for Spells Only, and for his main account. If only Java would go to the party setup screen, then look on the bottom left corner and click on the menu icon, then look at the bottom right-ish corner to read the options on creating new teams, or even disbanding teams. Be mindful that us chat/viewer and Java that we can never have less than 4 teams when disbanding teams. Edited for misusing a word...

there is no guarantee on rate up 4*s. He could in theory drop hundreds of dollars and still never get a single copy of the sword. It is bait. He'd also get as much if not more damage just by leveling Kuki and everyone on Nilou's team to 90 (Bloom and Hyperbloom get about a 30% damage bump from level 80-90).

If you wanna use Bennett, you can try burgeon Kazuha! Teammates: DMC, Bennett, Kazuha, hydro. You need to use DMC burst, apply hydro to it so it doesn't explode, do Bennett's burst and swirl pyro with Kazuha's burst. Then do hydro attacks to get seeds. Ayato is probably better overall in this team, but you have to rely on his burst to hit DMC's flower with hydro. Plus you might be able to vape some of his slashes.

one idea for your one team would be running alhaitham/dendro trav/xingqiu/kuki its basically haithams best team and the only upgrade is yelan with more dmg and more spread uptime on haitham compared to xingqiu. for ayaka you can also potentially use nilou as a sort of protable hydro ring give her xiphos (the sword currently on your alhiatham, he can do just fine on iron sting) and lots of EM and have nilou provide some additional ER (that or build your ayato on favonius and like 300% er to use him as a burst bot which is equally as mid but we dont have lots of choices here) Alternatively you can use a core of Ayato dendro traveler kuki and probably kirara/layla to play a hyperbloom/hyperfridge team (hyperbloom with some freeze) and keep your xingqiu on your other half. I think alhaitham/hyperbloom is your best bet since both are very/decently cheap to build while providing very high dps as a baseline for many accounts

JAVA, Just a friendly reminder that it is worth taking certain characters to level 90. There is a dmg% that is subtracted for every level you are under the enemys level that you are attacking. So your damage from units like Ayaka and Nilou is significantly reduced by not having them at 90. Tldr; 90 your ayaka and nilou, instead of artifacts.
