A new Genshin Impact leak is revealing the lineup of enemies set to be featured in the Spiral Abyss during the RPG's Version 4.2 update. Since the launch of the HoYoverse RPG in September 2020, Spiral Abyss has been one of the game's primary forms of endgame content with players able to challenge powerful versions of the game's enemies. The game mode typically features a rotation of new enemies with each update, providing new teambuilding challenges for players to tackle. Now, the lineup for the next update to the game mode is being teased.
Each rotation of Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss challenges typically places a spotlight on the newest enemies added to the game. Version 4.1's rotation features both of the game's newest bosses in the Millennial Pearl Seahorse and Experimental Field Generator on Floor 12. The Spiral Abyss update also features unique new buffs for players to take advantage of, focusing around HP manipulation and made to benefit the game's newest characters, Neuvillette and Wriothesley. Now, leaks are already hinting at Version 4.2's Floor 12 enemies.
A recent leak from prominent Genshin Impact leaker Bebe has revealed the array of enemies players will battle in Version 4.2's Spiral Abyss. Floor 12-1 of the newest Spiral Abyss update will pit players against a variety of elemental enemies including Rifthounds and Abyss Mages in the first half and Sumeru's Matrix boss in the second half. Floor 12-2 features several of Fontaine's new Meka enemies during the first half while the second half pits players against Sumeru's Jadeplume Terrorshroom. Floor 12 will wrap up with the Emperor of Fire and Iron world boss in the first half of Chamber 3 and the Nemesis of Coppelia in the second half.
The newest addition to Genshin Impact's endgame content notably does not feature any new enemies set to premiere during Version 4.2. The RPG's next update is expected to add a pair of new bosses to the game, introducing both a new world boss to Genshin Impact and Fontaine's first weekly boss. Leaks have also suggested that Genshin Impact's newest expansion to Fontaine will bring more overworld enemies to the region as well. Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 update is expected to launch on November 8th.
The newest rotation to the Spiral Abyss will likely look to benefit the two new characters coming in Genshin Impact's Version 4.2. Furina was officially revealed earlier this week as a new five-star unit coming in Version 4.2, leaked to utilize mechanics based around manipulating both her own and her allies' HP. Charlotte has also been teased as a healer within Genshin Impact, using her camera to both attack enemies and heal allies. Version 4.2's Spiral Abyss update will bring brand-new challenges for Genshin Impact's most skilled players.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
