the first abyss of 7.x | Spiral Abyss August 2026 (floor 11+12) | Genshin Impact

[no commentary] pretty fun one, pulled out Eula cause i saw the superconduct and stellar conduct bonuses, but it still didnt clear anywhere near as fast as i thought it would, it was actually looking pretty close all things considered. usually the first abyss of a new patch is easy though, so you can pull out whatever and clear with no real issue. odette is basically fully leveled, level 90 with 3/9/8 talents, but not on her intended set (im waiting till stygian, since it's more efficient that way). traveler is sitting on level 3 talents for now, but i do want to build and use him as a main dps, meanwhile alyosha might be put on hold since i only got the c2, so i dont think he's particularly worth building for now. i plan on doing a "what can you expect, odette" (dps tests) soon, once i get a set for her and then test her in stellar conduct and swirl teams, both with her vs without to show the differences she makes on the teams. if there are any specific teams you want to see, let me know!!! anyway, mini review for the new patch (no spoilers), it has been extremely good, well done story, very good pacing, not overly long or wordy, lots of random lore dumps, exploration has been decent (although i hate the jack frost trials), shooter mode is decent, camera a little too zoomed in and movement kinda jank, but fun and an actually decent implementation considering this is a meelee focused game (and none of their other games are shooters), they actually did a really good job making it feel pretty not bad overall, just small tweaks to clean it up and it could be its own seperate mode for sure. people wanted different and new and i think they delivered. (although i do think the quest auto start thing is really annoying for this region, since there are so many random quests everywhere you go) timeline: 0:00 intro and opening artifact boxes 1:26 floor 11 team building 2:12 floor 11 6:24 floor 12 team building 8:24 floor 12 chamber 1 11:45 floor 12 chamber 2 14:09 floor 12 chamber 3 17:06 challenge complete and outro #genshinimpact #spiralabyss
