Each Spiral Abyss update grants a unique buff to help you out in your battles. This update is the Blessing of the Abyssal Moon: Reverberating Moon. This buff has the following effect:

“When the active character’s HP decreases, a shockwave will be unleashed at the character’s position, dealing True DMG to nearby opponents. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s.”

Floor 11 of the Spiral Abyss has an additional Leyline Disorder that buffs your teams. The Leyline Disorder for Floor 11 has this effect: “All characters in the party gain a 75% Dendro DMG bonus.”

The Leyline Disorder combined with the Blessing of the Abyssal Moon benefits your teams that deal Dendro DMG. Fortunately, plenty of Dendro teams are in the meta right now. If you have one of them, this floor should be a breeze.

• Alhaitham / Nahida / Yelan or Xingqiu / Kuki Shinobu is one of the top choices for this floor. This team utilizes Hyperbloom damage, which provides heavy single-target and AoE damage that will clean up all the enemies found on this floor. We recommend using this team or other Hyperbloom variants in your first team, as the first half of this dungeon features more single-target enemies.
• Ganyu / Zhongli / Kazuha / Shenhe is another useful team for this floor. The second half of this floor features lots of Hydro enemies, making Cryo an easy and safe clear. A Cryo or Freeze team is only recommended for the second half of this floor.
• If you lack the Dendro units necessary to suitably clear this floor, basic teams such as Sucrose / Xiangling / Xingqiu / Bennett still work, as none of the enemies are particularly resistant against National teams or their variants.

Floor 11: Chamber 1

In the first half, you will have to defeat two waves of enemies. The first wave consists of four Mitachurls, two Wooden Shieldwall variants, and two Blazing Axe variants. These enemies spawn naturally grouped together, so just deal plenty of AoE damage to compensate. Following this, you’ll have to fight two Thunderhelm Lawachurls that spawn on opposite ends. Just head to one, and the enemies will naturally group. Dendro units will make short work of the Electro shields present on these bosses.

In the second half, you must defeat numerous waves of enemies. The first three waves consist of four Hydro Mimics. Using Cryo teams will make quick work of these enemies, while also keeping your team safe as the enemies will be permanently frozen. Alternatively, you can use a Dendro team, as these Hydro Mimics will take heavy damage from Dendro as well as the Bloom reaction.

The final wave consists of three Hydro Abyss Mages. Again, Cryo units are extremely helpful here, as you can easily destroy their Hydro shield while keeping them frozen. Dendro units are a little less safe but do a little more damage.

Floor 11: Chamber 2

In the first half, you must fight two waves of enemies. The first wave consists of four Ruin Drakes that spawn close to each other. Heading to the center ensures they stayed grouped up, allowing you to deal plenty of AoE damage and kill them at the same time. Afterward, you’ll have to fight two Ruin Grader enemies that spawn on opposite ends. Heading to one will cause the second Ruin Grader to aggro towards you.

In the second half, you must defeat two waves of enemies. The first wave consists of one Hydro Hilichurl Rogue and two Anemo Hilichurl Rogues, both enemies new to Version 3.6 of the game. If you head behind the Hydro Hilichurl Rogue, the two Anemo Hilichurl Rogues should drift toward you, making dealing AoE damage easier.

The Anemo Hilichurl Rogues can float into the air, holding onto Anemo slimes. If you have a bow character, you can shoot the Anemo slimes, which will cause the Rogue to crash on the ground, stunning them briefly.

Floor 11: Chamber 3

In the first half, you must defeat two waves of enemies. The first wave consists of a pair of Kairagi enemies. As a reminder, these two enemies must be defeated at the same time. If you don’t, the living Kairagi will regenerate a significant amount of its HP.

Following this, you’ll have to defeat four Black Serpent Knights. If you have a shield against these enemies, try not to get hit, or they will gain buffs and elemental shields. Using an Anemo unit to group these enemies together may help you deal some AoE damage.

The second half features two waves of enemies. The first wave consists of three Fatui Skirmishers, one Hydrogunner variant, and two Electrohammer variants. Focus on the Hydrogunner first, as the Electrohammer enemies should aggro towards you for AoE damage. Afterward, you’ll have to defeat two Mirror Maidens. Be sure to bring heavy single-target damage to help you clear these enemies quickly.

After defeating this floor, you can finally move onto the 12th floor of the Spiral Abyss.
