Genshin Impact 4.3 Spiral Abyss enemy lineup

The first thing to update in Genshin Impact 4.3 is which enemies Spiral Abyss 4.3 is going to include.

Hydro Tulpa is a fresh face in the ensemble of Genshin Impact bosses making its debut in the 4.2 update. While the opposition on floor 12 may not be too formidable, their unique attack sequences and movements could prove bothersome for certain players.

As per the intel from Nightmare and MadCroix, the enemy lineup for Genshin Impact's 4.3 Spiral Abyss Floor 12 includes:

Chamber 1 - First half (Level 95)

  • Perpetual Mechanical Array x 1

Chamber 1 - Second half (Level 95)

  • Thunder Manifestation x 1

Chamber 2 - First half (Level 98)

  • Construction Specialist Mek - Ousia x1
  • Ruin Guard x 1
  • Ruin Grader x 2

Chamber 2 - Second half (Level 98)

  • Large Geo Slime x 3, Geo Specter x 2
  • Geovishap x 2
  • Stonehide Lawachurl x 2

Chamber 3 - First half (Level 100)

  • Hydro Tulpa x 1

Chamber 3 - Second half (Level 100)

  • Thunderhelm Lawachurl x 2
  • Eremite Scorching Loremaster x 1, Eremite Floral Ring-Dancer x 1
Most Spiral Abyss floor 12 enemies in update 4.3 include only one big boss.

In general, Spiral Abyss 4.3 features some of the very familiar enemies to players who have played for a long time. However, the Floor 12 lineup may not be too much of a burden. Most chambers only feature one boss. This can ease down on the concern that you spend too much time and get too few rewards.

While the lineup could be simpler compared to expectation, certain enemies can be quite annoying as they have exotic attacks and agile movements. Take the Thunder Manifestation, for example. It loves to stay in the air, making it tricky to hit. So, be ready for that—it might slow you down a bit.

Spiral Abyss 4.3 blessings

Besides the enemy lineup, there's some talk about new buffs in the Spiral Abyss. Basically, they are power-ups that match the game's new characters and elemental reactions.

In the first part of Floor 12, there is the "Robust Moon" buff that boosts your damage when you grab Crystallize shards. It fits in with the new Geo character, Navia, encouraging players to use Crystallize reactions for a bigger punch.

In the second half, you may expect a buff called "Fracturing Moon". It can create a True DMG shockwave when you collect three Crystallize shards. So, it is all about making the most of Crystallize reactions, adding a cool twist to the gameplay that needs some good planning and teamwork.

Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss 4.3 mostly needs Crystallize reaction.
