How to Clear the New Genshin Spiral Abyss Floor 12
By Sir Ayup
The Spiral Abyss resets in a few days, and this cycle rewards two very different kinds of teams. On November 16, Phase 1 of the Version 7.2 Spiral Abyss brings a new Blessing of the Abyssal Moon, fresh Ley Line Disorders and a new enemy lineup on Floors 11 and 12. At gamemarket.gg, we break down what the official changes mean, which enemies are expected on Floor 12 and which teams fit each half. So which characters should you be building before the reset?
When Does the Next Spiral Abyss Start?
The new cycle opens on November 16, 2026, with the usual reset at 04:00 server time. It is Phase 1 of the Version 7.2 Spiral Abyss and runs until December 16, when Phase 2 takes over with a new blessing and different Ley Line Disorders.
Any stars you have not claimed in the current cycle reset at the same time, so this weekend is the last chance to finish Floor 12 under the old lineup.
Blessing of the Abyssal Moon: Resounding Moon
The official 7.2 update notes describe the new blessing like this:
- When a character triggers Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct on an opponent, they gain 1 stack
- At 3 stacks, a shockwave hits the opponent's position, dealing True DMG and consuming all stacks
- Stacks build at most once every 0.1 seconds, and a shockwave can fire once every 4 seconds
True DMG ignores resistances, so the blessing adds steady damage to any team that keeps Cryo and Electro reacting. It works with ordinary Superconduct too, but teams built on Stellar-Conduct trigger it far more naturally, since that reaction is the core of their rotation.
Ley Line Disorders on Floors 11 and 12
- Floor 11: all party members gain 60% Electro DMG Bonus and 60% Geo DMG Bonus
- Floor 12, first half: Lunar-Crystallize DMG increased by 75%
- Floor 12, second half: all party members gain 200 Elemental Mastery
The split is clear. The first half is built for Lunar-Crystallize, the Hydro and Geo reaction led by Zibai and Columbina, while the second half rewards reaction teams of any kind, since 200 Elemental Mastery boosts Stellar-Conduct, Lunar reactions and classic reactions alike. Floor 11 simply favors Electro and Geo damage dealers.
Floor 12 Enemy Lineup
HoYoverse confirms that the lineup on Floors 11 and 12 changes this cycle but does not list the enemies in its notes. The lineup below comes from pre-release data, so treat it as expected until the reset:
- 12-1 (Lv. 95): Battle-Hardened Prism Slime in the first half, Wavebinder in the second half
- 12-2 (Lv. 98): Frostnight Herra in the first half, Guardian Blade of Drifting Snow in the second half
- 12-3 (Lv. 100): Radiant Moongecko in the first half, Perpetual Mechanical Array in the second half
We will confirm the lineup once the new cycle opens.
Best Teams for the November 16 Spiral Abyss
First Half: Lunar-Crystallize
The 75% Lunar-Crystallize bonus points straight at Zibai. A typical core looks like this:
- Zibai as the on-field Geo damage dealer
- Columbina for off-field Hydro and Lunar reaction support
- Illuga as a Geo reaction buffer
- Gorou for extra DEF and Geo DMG
Zhongli, Xingqiu or Yelan can fill a slot if you are missing Illuga or Gorou. Our Zibai spotlight and Columbina build guide cover their gear in detail.
Second Half: Stellar-Conduct
The second half pairs 200 Elemental Mastery with a blessing that rewards Cryo and Electro reactions, which makes it the natural home for Stellar-Conduct. Odette turns Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct, and Mitya can enable the reaction for his party too, so these teams trigger the blessing on almost every rotation:
- Mitya, the new 5-star Electro DPS, with Odette, Yae Miko and a support
- Sandrone with Yae Miko, Odette and Alyosha
- Cyno or Wriothesley with Yae Miko, Odette and Alyosha
Mitya was designed around this reaction, which makes the cycle a strong first test for him. Full team breakdowns, including free-to-play options, are in our Odette Stellar-Conduct teams guide, and his abilities are explained in our Mitya kit breakdown.
If you do not run Stellar-Conduct, any well-built reaction team still benefits from the Elemental Mastery bonus, so a Lunar-Bloom or Lunar-Charged team is a safe fallback.
Should You Pull for Mitya Before the Reset?
Mitya's Phase 1 banner runs until around November 24, so his window and this Spiral Abyss overlap for about a week. He is the clearest upgrade for the second half and the blessing, and because he can enable Stellar-Conduct on his own, he still works for accounts without Odette. If you already own Odette and a Stellar-Conduct carry such as Sandrone, the gain is smaller, so the pull matters most for players building their first Cryo and Electro team.
Our Starsealed Edict banner guide weighs whether he is worth your Primogems, and the main DPS tier list shows where he ranks against other carries.
Clear the Cycle Before Phase 2 Arrives
This cycle splits cleanly between Lunar-Crystallize and Stellar-Conduct, so most accounts can clear Floor 12 with one Zibai team and one Cryo and Electro team. If you are still working toward your first full clear, our Spiral Abyss beginner guide explains how to reach 36 stars step by step. You have until December 16 before Phase 2 changes the blessing again.
