Spiral Abyss Floor 12 is the ultimate challenge in Genshin Impact, requiring deep understanding of character builds, elemental reactions, and team synergies. This guide covers all three chambers, lunar phase strategies, and artifact recommendations for 36-star clears.
Season 38 Lunar Phase Breakdown
| Lunar Phase | Effect | How to handle it |
|---|---|---|
| No Constellar Electro | Electro DMG +50% | Run Raiden Shogun / Kujou Sara / Kuki Shinobu; avoid trading hits with Electro-resistant enemies |
| No Constellar Cryo | Cryo DMG +50% | Run an Ayaka or Ganyu Freeze team; keep shield uptime |
Chamber 1: Electro Wave
The main threats are Electro Slimes and the Processing-Plant Automaton, Unit 9981. Run the Raiden National core or a Sara + Raiden Swirl team.
- Main DPS: Raiden Shogun / Kujou Sara / Kuki Shinobu
- Sub-DPS: Xingqiu + Xiangling (double Hydro / double Pyro resonance)
- Sustain: Bennett (healing + ATK buff)
Chamber 2: Cryo Wave
The main threats are Cryo Abyss Mages and Cryo Regisvine. Freeze teams led by Ayaka or Ganyu work best.
- Main DPS: Kamisato Ayaka / Ganyu
- Cryo application: Yelan / Shenhe
- Sustain: Barbara / Kokomi
Chamber 3: Electro Boss
The final boss is the Raiden Shogun (or her phantom form). You need burst-heavy DPS to end the fight fast.
| Team | Strengths | Rotation |
|---|---|---|
| Raiden National | Team-wide buffs; Vaporize and Catalyze both land | Xiangling Q → Xingqiu Q → Bennett Q → Raiden E → Raiden Q |

Clear Checklist

- Elemental Mastery: push Xingqiu and Xiangling to 80-100 EM
- CRIT Rate: 60%+ on your main DPS, 40%+ is enough on sub-DPS
- Rotation: open with bursts to stack buffs, then swap in and normal-attack
Quick Answers
Which characters do you need for Spiral Abyss Floor 12?
Ideally three main DPS units at Constellation 6 or higher, plus a National or Freeze core. Raiden Shogun + Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett covers about 80% of situations.
How do I build a team for the No Constellar Electro lunar phase?
No Constellar Electro favours Raiden National or a Sara + Raiden Swirl team. Electro DMG is up 50%, which cuts the clear difficulty noticeably.
What is the time limit for Floor 12?
60 seconds per chamber, 180 seconds across the three chambers. In practice keep each chamber to 45-50 seconds so you have buffer.
Which artifact main stats should I pick?
Main DPS: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Elemental Mastery first. Supports: Energy Recharge / HP / Healing Bonus. Do not chase perfection - a 70% roll set is enough.
