Spiral Abyss Floor 12 Overview
Buffs and Enemy Types
On Spiral Abyss Floor 12 in version 5.7, you will see new buffs and enemies. The floor gives you the "Frozen Moon" buff. In the first half, your Ice damage goes up by 75%. In the second half, Nocturnal damage also gets a 75% boost. When you use Ice reactions, shockwaves happen every 2.5 seconds. These shockwaves do true damage. You should pick teams that use these buffs well.
Here is a simple chart of the enemies and buffs:
Chamber |
First Half |
Second Half |
---|---|---|
1 |
Primeval Drake Automaton (lots of HP, strong defense, weak to Ice) |
Duskwatch Drakes, Hermit of Occultation (Cryo shields, invisible Phantoms) |
2 |
Ruin Drake, Ruin Grader, Construct Specialist |
Eremite Stone Enchanter, Frostborn Greatspirit, Lavaplume Erodent |
3 |
Petraborn & Fulminborn Greatspirits, Trial Field (drains energy, gives DMG buff) |
Veiled Leafscale Drakes, Gluttonous Leafscale Drakeking (throws Pyro grenades) |
🧊 Tip: Use Ice teams in the first half for more damage.
🌑 Tip: Use Pyro DPS in the second half to get the Nocturnal buff.
Enemies here have much more HP than normal. You need teams that can keep doing damage and stay alive. Artifact sets that help both damage and defense are best.
