- Keep track of Spiral Abyss rotations for optimal team composition to conquer the toughest challenges.

- Characters like Furina, Neuvillette, and Bennett also excel in their roles, showcasing diverse playstyles.
A Genshin Impact chart ranks the game's playable characters by their usage rate in Phase 2 of the ongoing Version 4.8 Spiral Abyss. This unique domain in Genshin Impact is usually regarded as the hardest part of the game for most players, as it requires them to use their most powerful team compositions.
The Spiral Abyss lineup rotates every 15 days, which means that Genshin Impact players need to constantly keep track of the domain's enemies and adapt their teams to increase their chances of completing the domain. Clearing out the Floors and Chambers within a certain time frame will reward players with precious items, including Primogems.
Genshin Impact: Xilonen Signature Weapon Leaks Hint at Her Party Role
A Genshin Impact leak reveals more details about Xilonen's weapon type, indicating her playstyle and role within the party as a Geo user.
A chart revealed by Twitter user hxg_diluc shows the most popular picks of the ongoing Phase 2 of the Spiral Abyss. At the top of the list, with a 93% pick rate, is Liyue's Archon, the Geo polearm user Zhongli. Despite being one of the oldest characters on the roster, Zhongli is still considered an S-tier pick due to his robust kit. Zhongli can provide the most powerful shield in Genshin Impact and deal significant damage with his Elemental Burst, Planet Befall, which crashes a meteor down on enemies, dealing AoE damage. Although Zhongli was rumored to receive a re-run in the upcoming update 5.0, players will unfortunately have to wait a couple of months for his banner appearance.
Genshin Impact 4.8: Top 5 Most Spiral Abyss Phase 2 Characters
- Zhongli (93%)
- Furina (86.9%)
- Neuvillette (78.9%)
- Kazuha (76.1%)
- Bennett (70.1)
The second character on the list, Lady Furina, is widely considered the most popular character in Genshin Impact at the moment. This is due to her importance in the recently featured Fontaine storyline. Many fans consider Furina's arc to be the best Archon Quest in the game so far. In terms of power on the field, she is probably the best Hydro support in the game due to her ability to be extremely effective even when not on the field.
The third most popular character is the Hydro user Neuvillette, who many consider the best Hydro DPS in Genshin Impact. His unique kit relies on a powerful Charged Attack, and players often manage to clear the hardest Spiral Abyss floors with only the Hydro Dragon in their team composition.
The highest-ranked four-star character on the list is Mondstadt's unluckiest adventurer, Bennett. Similar to Zhongli, Bennett was also released back in 2020, and he's still one of the most popular support picks in Genshin Impact. With the help of his Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage, Bennett can provide constant healing and a significant damage buff to his teammates.
