The core problem
What this Abyss cycle demands
The 6.7 Luna VIII cycle is considered relatively fair compared to recent cycles, but it splits team requirements sharply. First half favors Cryo and Electro teams with Superconduct and Stellar-conduct buffs. Second half rewards consistent Electro application via Lunar-charged or Overload teams. The goal is reliable 36-star clears without heavy constellation or signature weapon investment.
Before you enter
Preparation checklist
1Level key characters to 90. Especially Lunar and Pyro units. Level 90 provides a significant DPS increase over level 80 for reaction-based teams.
2Focus talents: Main DPS at 9/9/9 or higher, supports at 6-8. Prioritize burst and skill levels for your core DPS.
3Use strong 4-star or F2P weapons where possible. Craftables and Favonius weapons are viable for most supports.
4Test in lower floors first. Practice rotations on Floor 11 before attempting Floor 12 to build muscle memory.
Leverages Superconduct and Stellar-conduct buffs that are active this cycle. Sandrone provides consistent Cryo application while Yae Miko handles off-field Electro. Qiqi or Diona for healing and Cryo resonance.
Rotation: Apply Cryo with Sandrone skill, swap to Yae Miko for Electro application, use Beidou or Fischl burst for sustained off-field damage, then swap back to Sandrone for charge attacks during buff windows. Shield with Diona before enemy combos.
Low-investment freeze team that controls enemies while dealing consistent damage. Skirk at C0 is viable for first half. Add Sucrose for grouping if enemies are spread out.
Rotation: Apply Hydro first, then Cryo to freeze. Use Skirk skill and burst during freeze windows. Swap to Sucrose for grouping and Viridescent Venerer shred before DPS windows.
Mavuika Variant (First Half)
Mavuika + Bennett + Xilonen + Flex support
Alternative if you lack Sandrone or Skirk. Mavuika with Bennett and Xilonen provides strong single-target damage for boss encounters like Suanni and Watcher.
Rotation: Bennett burst for attack buff, Xilonen for resistance shred, then Mavuika skill and burst during buff windows. Maintain Pyro application for consistent reactions.
Second half teams
Lunar-charged and Overload setups
Second HalfLunar-charged / Overload
Lunar-charged Core
Flins + Columbina + Ineffa + Sucrose
Top recommendation for second half. Consistent Electro application via Lunar-charged reactions. Very strong against the second half enemy lineup. Sucrose provides grouping and Viridescent Venerer resistance shred.
Rotation: Buff supports first (Columbina skill and burst), then Ineffa for Electro application, Sucrose for grouping and shred, then Flins for main DPS window. Maintain Electro aura throughout for continuous Lunar-charged procs.
Chevreuse remains the Overload GOAT. Nicole, Fischl, and Chevreuse core is widely praised for second half clears. Mavuika provides the Pyro DPS while Fischl or Ororon handle off-field Electro.
Rotation: Bennett E and Q for attack buff, Chevreuse hold E and Q for Overload buff, Fischl skill for off-field Electro, then Mavuika skill and burst for damage. Reapply Electro between Mavuika windows to maintain Overload uptime.
F2P Overload Alternative
Mavuika / Nefer + Chevreuse + Fischl + Bennett
Budget-friendly Overload team using F2P weapons. Many 36-star clears have been demonstrated with this setup. Level characters to 90 and refine artifacts over pulling for constellations.
Rotation: Same structure as Chevy core. Bennett buff, Chevreuse debuff, Fischl Electro application, then DPS burst. Focus on reaction uptime and avoiding deaths over perfect optimization.
Key decision points
How to choose your teams
Have Mavuika, Flins, or Sandrone?
Prioritize them. They dominate usage stats and make clears significantly smoother. Pair Mavuika with Chevreuse for Overload, Sandrone with Yae Miko for Superconduct, Flins with Columbina for Lunar-charged.
Low investment or F2P?
Go Mavuika Overload or Nefer teams with F2P weapons. Many 36-star clears have been shown this way. Level to 90 and refine artifacts over constellations. Focus on reaction uptime.
Missing specific 5-star units?
Substitute flexibly. Sucrose for grouping, Bennett for healing and buff, Fischl for Electro battery. Test what works on your account via trial runs on lower floors first.
Time pressure on Floor 12?
Focus on reaction uptime and avoiding deaths over perfect optimization. A clean run with consistent reactions beats a greedy run that resets. Practice rotations until they are muscle memory.
Common pitfalls
Key mistakes to avoid
XNot leveling to 90. Level 90 provides a significant DPS increase for reaction teams. The difference between 80 and 90 is often the margin between 3-star and 2-star clears.
XWrong team split. Putting your Lunar-charged team on the first half wastes its potential. Match Cryo and Electro teams to first half, Overload and Lunar-charged to second half.
XPoor rotation timing. Bursting too early without buffs active wastes damage. Always cast support bursts and skills first, then DPS during buff windows.
XIgnoring enemy mechanics. Shields and aura mechanics matter. Bring the right element to break shields. Check enemy lineup before committing teams.
XOver-relying on one meta team. This cycle rewards versatile units and reactions. Adapt to your roster instead of forcing a team that does not fit your builds.
