The enemy lineup in the Spiral Abyss changes about every two weeks, so players must constantly adjust their party setups to exploit their opponents' weaknesses. Unlike the enemies found in the overworld, those in this domain are significantly stronger, especially in the later floors, often boasting a large health pool.
hxg_diluc has posted a chart on X that ranks Genshin Impact characters by their popularity in Phase 1 of the Genshin Impact 5.0's Spiral Abyss.
Top 5 Spiral Abyss Phase 1 Characters in Genshin Impact 5.0
- Furina (81.7%)
- Kazuha (74.2%)
- Zhongli (72.4%)
- Bennett (69.7)
- Neuvillette (67.7%)
Leading the list is the renowned Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, with an impressive usage rate of 81.7%. She is widely regarded as the top Hydro support in Genshin Impact, able to fit seamlessly into almost any team that needs a strong Hydro character. Furina’s unique ability to alternate between Ousia and Pneuma energy makes her an invaluable asset in both the Spiral Abyss and while exploring Teyvat. One of her key strengths is that most of her skills activate even when she’s off the field, making her a powerful off-field character.
In second place is the popular Anemo support, Kaedehara Kazuha. Even though he was released over two years ago, he is still regarded as the strongest Anemo support in Genshin Impact. Kazuha's abilities enable him to apply various crowd-control effects on enemies while also delivering significant damage boosts to his teammates.
The Geo user Zhongli, another Archon, secured third place on the list. Like Kazuha, Zhongli is one of the older characters in Genshin Impact, yet he remains the preferred Geo user for many Travelers. While Geo has been somewhat overlooked in the current meta, Zhongli’s ability to provide the strongest shield in the game is still a significant asset.
In fourth place is Bennett, a four-star Pyro sword user, who is considered the best Pyro support in Genshin Impact. Despite his lower rarity, Bennett’s ability to offer exceptional healing and damage buffs with his Fantastic Voyage is unmatched by any other Pyro character in the game. Some fans in the comments noted that the presence of these older characters at the top of the Spiral Abyss chart shows how effectively HoYoverse has handled power creep in the game.
The fifth place honors Neuvillette, a prominent character in the Hydro Nation of Fontaine in Genshin Impact. He is a distinguished judge and the current head of the Fontaine Court of Justice. You can learn more about him here.
