Spiral Abyss Players May Get Buffs In Genshin Impact 5.4
Players May Be Able To Deal More Damage
There may be a big combat buff for players challenging the Spiral Abyss starting in Version 5.4. According to information by the leaker known as HomDGCat, there is an unused buff in the game’s codes that may be reserved for the Spiral Abyss in Version 5.4. The leak was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. The buff is allegedly split into two parts. The leak describes the first of them:when Normal Attacks hit an enemy, the DMG dealt by Normal Attacks will increase in a stackable effectinGenshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss.
Genshin Impact 5.3’s Harbinger Leak Is Disappointing News For Capitano Fans, But There May Be A Silver Lining For Another Snezhnaya Character
The release of Capitano as a playable character in Genshin Impact may be further than ever, but there is still hope for the Fatui with new leaks.
The second buff effect described by the leak says thatwhen Charged or Plunging Attacks hit an enemy, this will unleash a shockwave that deals AoE (area of effect) True DMG to nearby opponents. The leak does not provide any more information on how these buffs will operate and if they have some sort of limitation to stacks of cooldown time, for example. They seem like great offensive buffs for players challenging one of the endgame activities but they may be carrying an ominous insight into the Abyss’ future.
Normal Attack characters likeClorinde inGenshin Impactshould benefit from the first part of the buff, for example, while Xiao may deal extra DMG with the second part of the buff.
Leaks Spiral Abyss Buffs In Genshin Impact 5.4 May Be Hinting At Tougher Enemies
The Game’s More Recent Opponents Have Been Increasing In Challenge
The leaked buffs to players’ DMG in the Spiral Abyss may actually be hinting at an increase in the difficulty presented by challenges within the activity. Even if subtly, some of the game’s enemies have been getting much more challenging over the past few years, especially in endgame content – not only do they have larger HP bars to deplete, but newer enemies have more abilities in their kits and deal more damage. As such, an increased damage update inGenshin Impact5.4 does not sound like an unfeasible thing to occur.
Genshin Impact 5.3 Leaks: Mavuika’s Biggest Flaw Has Finally Been Corrected, Making The Release Of The Pyro Archon More Promising Than Ever
The biggest flaw in Mavuika’s leaked gameplay kit for Genshin Impact 5.3 has allegedly been corrected, making her much more valuable in team comps.
If this is the case, then the leaked buffs could be a way of somewhat balancing the player experience within the Spiral Abyss without just making it tougher.The buffs could help maintain the activity’s current sense of challenge but be updated with more current types of encounters and enemy combinations. The more recent Wayob Manifestations and otherLocal Legends from Natlancould become more present in the Spiral Abyss, retaining their more developed abilities with a bump to HP, which would be balanced by the rumored buffs inGenshin Impact5.4, for example.
While the buffs are not a guarantee and the speculation about the increasing challenge in the Spiral Abyss is ever more distant, it is a very plausible possibility. The game’s combat systems are getting more complex with the release of every region and tougher enemies tend to be a way of balancing new mechanics.The possible increase in difficulty in the Spiral Abyss is not necessarily bad, as it would help keep the activity up-to-date, but it could up the ante when it comes to character-build optimizationto max out all Floors inGenshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: Mavuika Ascension & Talent Materials
To fully unlock Mavuika’s potential as a Pyro character in Genshin Impact, you’ll need to farm several materials for her Ascension and Talents.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the leaked buffs, it’s uncertain when they will be applied, if they are applied at all. For now, they should be taken with a grain of salt, as the information may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to change. However, as the game progresses, these types of adjustments are well-expected and, even if they do not occur now, Spiral Abyss’ evolving nature will likely be forced to implement buffs and new enemies inGenshin Impact.
