Starter Characters Only: 5.8 Spiral Abyss

Video without text commentary:    • Starter Characters Only: 5.8 Spiral Abyss ...  

This took 422 battles.

The footage in this run represents theoretical 3-star clears, combining clips from two separate runs for each chamber. Many of you have asked about prioritizing my health. Due to the difficulty of managing HP and RES inflation, as well as shill mechanics (mechanics that strongly favor certain team archetypes or characters and punish players for not using them), I chose to use spliced 3-star clears to avoid burning out for future versions. We've reached a point where I sometimes need nearly perfect RNG and minimal mistakes on both sides, so having to reset a good run over a single error can be exhausting. Unfortunately, this might become the norm, as leaks on HomDGCat's website suggest these trends will continue. Thank you for your understanding!


More Information About 12-3-2 (Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device)
From observation, the Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device has three possible attack sequences when the player stands close. Only one sequence doesn’t make the boss hover: Laser Sweep → Triple Airstrike → Laser Sweep. This sequence also makes the boss charge Boltsphere Cannon near the 40-second mark, which I need for the run to be viable. Some players suggested using Kachina, but I encountered issues. First, charging Adaptive Countermeasures by being in the Nightsoul Blessing state makes the boss hover for a few seconds in the middle of my rotation.

Second, using Kachina reduces my DPS because she deals low personal damage and offers fewer buffs and less utility than Amber. Amber provides 4 Pyro particles per Baron Bunny for Xiangling, 60% ATK from team buffs, an easy way to enable Lynette to reduce Pyro RES while still allowing her to reduce Cryo RES, and personal damage boosted by Viridescent Venerer. By contrast, Kachina only offers a 40% DMG Bonus from Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, which is hard to consistently trigger Crystallize with both Pyro and Cryo. The team also has no way to boost her low personal damage.

More Information About 12-2-2 (Wayob Manifestations)
‪@TarZBlammo‬ mentioned in his video that you need to deal at least 210 Poise damage to stagger the Wayob Manifestation and cancel the Trial Arena:    • How to Counter Wayob Manifestations | Gens...  .
‪@Azerad79‬ expanded on this, explaining that the ability must deal at least Impulse Type 4 Poise damage. This detail is difficult to find on the Genshin Wiki, but here’s what defines Impulse Type 4:
Stagger Level: Heavy
Horizontal Force: 800
Vertical Force: 0

You can learn more about Impulse Types here: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wik.... The rest of the description is too long to include here, but you can find it in an older video:    • Starter Characters Only: 5.7 Spiral Abyss  .
