Summary
- Genshin Impact's Version 5.1 is reportedly set to see a major increase to the HP of enemies found on Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss.
- The HP multiplier for enemies on the Spiral Abyss's Floor 12 is expected to rise from 350% to 375% during Phase 1 of Version 5.1's Spiral Abyss rotation.
- Version 5.1 will also introduce Xilonen as the update's lone new five-star character alongside the next continuation of Genshin Impact's Archon Quest.
A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing a major change coming to the Version 5.1 update to the Spiral Abyss game mode, hinting at tougher enemies for players to challenge. HoYoverse has added a wide variety of permanent content for players to engage with after completing the game's story, ranging from challenging battles to entirely new mini-games. Spiral Abyss and the recently added Imaginarium Theater serve as Genshin Impact's main endgame content, while Genius Invokation TCG offers players a fully playable card game based on the RPG. Now, one endgame mode is set to receive a major change.
Spiral Abyss has stood as Genshin Impact's oldest form of endgame content, first added with the game's original launch in late 2020. The game mode features a constantly changing lineup of enemies for its highest floors, with an array of powerful enemies and bosses rotating out every month. The upper floors of the Spiral Abyss also offer special buffs and bonuses for players to utilize, often based around Genshin Impact's newest characters. A new change may now make the Spiral Abyss's toughest challenge even harder.

The changes to Version 5.1's Spiral Abyss come as Genshin Impact's newer updates have continued to see more powerful enemies added to the game. Fontaine introduced Genshin Impact's first "Local Legend" enemies, found throughout the overworld and boasting powerful attacks and high HP totals. The launch of Natlan late last month continued the trend from Fontaine, with four different Local Legends found throughout Natlan. Natlan also brought two new bosses to the game, with more leaked to be on the way from the region.
Alongside the update to the Spiral Abyss, Genshin Impact's Version 5.1 looks to have plenty in store for fans. The next update to the HoYoverse RPG will bring one brand-new five-star character to the roster, with Xilonen planned to launch during Version 5.1. The patch is also expected to include the continuation of Natlan's Archon Quest, with rumors suggesting players may be able to control Mavuka during Genshin Impact's new story content. Fans of Genshin Impact will only have to wait a few more weeks to dive into even more of the game's newest region.
