Recent information from the Genshin Impact beta servers has revealed that the Spiral Abyss for Version 5.5 could end up being even more difficult for Hydro characters. While the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact has evolved heavily since the game’s launch, it has arguably never recovered from Version 4.1. Hydro was always considered a premium element and has played a pivotal role in several Spiral Abyss eras, from Ayaka Freeze to Alhaitham Hyperbloom, but it wasn’t until the debut of Neuvillette that its dominance in the meta was established.
