Building a team for the Spiral Abyss isn’t just about picking your favorite characters. You need to think about how their elements work together to unleash powerful reactions!
Understanding Elemental Reactions
Elemental Reactions are like magical combos that happen when different elements collide. They can deal extra damage, control enemies, or even heal your team! Here are some popular ones:
- Melt (Fire + Cryo): Makes Fire attacks hit harder. Great for characters like Diluc and Hu Tao.
- Vaporize (Hydro + Pyro): Makes Hydro attacks hit harder. Perfect for characters like Ganyu and Xiangling.
- Electro-Charged (Hydro + Electro): Deals damage and paralyzes enemies. Useful with characters like Raiden Shogun and Mona.
- Superconduct (Cryo + Electro): Reduces enemy physical resistance, making them easier to hit. A good choice for characters like Eula and Keqing.
- Swirl (Anemo + Any Element): Deals damage with a bonus effect based on the second element. Great with characters like Kazuha and Sucrose.
Team Building Strategies
Think of your team like a puzzle, each member filling a specific role:
- Main DPS: The damage dealer. They should have strong attacks and a way to deal damage consistently.
- Sub-DPS: Helps the main DPS by applying elements for reactions or adding additional damage.
- Support: Provides buffs, heals, or shields to keep the team alive and strong.
- Off-Field Damage: Characters who can deal damage even when they aren’t on the field.
Example Teams
Let’s look at a couple of popular team compositions:
- Melt Team: This team focuses on the Melt reaction for massive damage:
- Main DPS: Ganyu (Cryo)
- Sub-DPS: Xiangling (Pyro)
- Support: Bennett (Pyro)
- Off-Field Damage: Diona (Cryo)
- Vaporize Team: This team utilizes the Vaporize reaction to deal powerful Hydro damage:
- Main DPS: Hu Tao (Pyro)

Important Tips
- Element Compatibility: Choose characters with elements that synergize well with each other.
- Energy Recharge: Pay attention to Energy Recharge, which helps your characters use their Elemental Bursts more often.
