In the Spiral Abyss, the right team for each floor is important, but these characters do amazing in any situation
The Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact is a game mode where you have to test your combat and strategy regarding team compositions. It consists of a series of floors, divided into two parts, that the deeper you go, clearing one after the other, the harder they get. You can get juicy rewards, such as primogems and mora from the Spiral Abyss in the first part of it, but you only get them once.
Then there’s the second part, where rewards are not as big as the first one, but in the long run, especially for free-to-play players, it still is a valuable source of primogens and mora that you can get every 15 days. And because you need two teams for this part, here we’ll be talking about the overall best character for The Spiral Abyss.
10. Beidou
Liyue's most iconic pirate
Beidou is a pirate from Liyue, and when it comes to the lore of the game, you could pretty much say she’s one of the strongest human characters so far. Her ability kit allows her to be a Sub-DPS or a main DPS in a team, her elemental ability can cause a lot of damage and her ultimate works well against multiple enemies and with elemental reactions.
