The Витая Бездна 5.6 update brings new challenges, enemies, and buffs that require smart team compositions, especially for free-to-play players who don’t have the luxury of high-tier characters or constellations. This guide breaks down every chamber on Floor 12 and shares actionable tips to help you achieve a full 36-star clear using accessible units and solid strategies.
Overview of Floor 12 Challenges
Floor 12 has three chambers, each with two sides filled with tough enemies and unique mechanics. The main elements to watch for this Abyss are Cryo and Dendro skill damage buffs, plus a fiery pyro boss that needs careful handling.
- Камера 1: Features an Eremite, veteran Anemo operatives, and a tough pyro dragon boss with high resistance.
- Камера 2: Contains multiple Fontaine Magicians and the Perpetual Mechanical Array (PMA) boss, followed by “pillar mimics” that require elemental damage to stun.
- Камера 3: Ends with a Rune Grader and Electro Bio, finishing with a high-resistance pillar enemy that must be shield-broken quickly.
Buffs on this floor increase Cryo skill damage by 75% in the first half and Dendro skill damage by 75% in the second half, making certain elements more effective.
F2P-Friendly Team Recommendations

Team and Elemental Recommendations
Камера 1
- First Side: Anemo operatives have high Anemo resistance, but low resistance to other elements. Cryo and Hydro teams can freeze and control these enemies effectively.
- Free-to-play Picks: Consider Cryo characters like Kaeya, Rosaria, or even freeze-focused teams including Barbara or Xingqiu to keep enemies locked down. Healing is recommended due to life-draining mechanics.
- Second Side: The pyro dragon boss starts in a geo-human form with extremely high elemental resistance (150%), requiring a specific approach.
Key Boss Strategy for Pyro Dragon
- Use Pyro attacks to fill its fury bars. When the first fury bar fills, it transforms into a molten dragon with reduced resistances but still high pyro resistance.
- Keep applying Pyro to fill the second fury bar, which will stun the boss and reduce its elemental resistance drastically.
- Burning reactions are especially useful because they continually apply pyro without manual reapplication.
- If you don’t have the top-tier pyro units like Kich or Emily, overload teams (combining Electro and Pyro) can work, provided you apply enough elemental hits.
Камера 2
- Первая половина: Four Fontaine Magicians are freezable and mainly there to waste time.
- Вторая половина: The PMA boss summons rune sentinels. Only the sentinel with a ring takes damage, so focus on it quickly.
- No elemental restrictions here, but physical damage is not recommended due to higher resistance.
- Second Side: Pillar mimics have bars that need to be filled with elemental hits to stun. Burning and overload teams work well here.
Камера 3
- First Side: Rune Grader wastes time, then the Electro Bio (VOP) steals energy from your team.
- Strategy: Either save your buffs to use them all on VOP or freeze it with constant Cryo and Hydro application to avoid its energy steal.
- Second Side: The final pillar enemy has very high resistance and a shield that must be broken within 13 seconds.
- Breaking the shield requires 72 elemental hits, and hitting it during the “night soul blessing” state counts triple.
- Nutan units like Kenich, Auron, Jansen, or Moa are ideal for this fight.
- Overload teams can also work but require optimized rotations and enough elemental hits.
General Tips for F2P Players
- Focus on Free Four-Star Units: Characters like Kaeya, Rosaria, Bennett, Xingqiu, and Fischl can handle many enemies efficiently.
- Build Freeze or Burning Teams: Freeze teams excel in control and safety, while burning teams offer sustained damage for tougher pyro bosses.
- Manage Buffs and Energy Carefully: Against energy-stealing enemies, plan your burst usage to maximize uptime.
- Elemental Reaction Priority: Use Cryo + Hydro for freezing, Pyro + Electro for overload, and Pyro + Dendro for burning to maximize damage and control.
- Adapt for Boss Phases: For bosses with multiple forms or resistances, adjust your team to focus on elemental application rather than brute force.
- Consider Resets on RNG Elements: If random mechanics like rune sentinels are unfavorable, a reset can save time.
- Исцеление имеет значение: The life-drain mechanic on operatives requires some form of healing or sustain to prevent deaths.
Beating Витая Бездна 5.6 as a free-to-play player is very doable with the right understanding of enemy mechanics and smart team building. Focus on elemental reactions, utilize accessible four-star characters, and be patient with each chamber’s unique challenges. Stun and control bosses, keep an eye on buff phases, and optimize your rotation for the final pillar to secure those valuable 3.
Stay flexible, and experiment with different teams to find what suits your roster best. This floor rewards players who understand the mechanics behind elemental application and timing, making it a fun and rewarding challenge for F2P players.
