Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss Floor 12: Wriothesley and Neuvillette Freeze Teams (7.1)

Two high-investment Freeze compositions clear all three Floor 12 chambers for a 9-star Version 7.1 run.

Two high-investment Freeze compositions clear all three Floor 12 chambers for a 9-star Version 7.1 run.

Two heavily invested Freeze lineups can push through every chamber of Spiral Abyss Floor 12 in Version 7.1 without much resistance. The first half leans on Wriothesley as a Cryo main DPS, while the second half swaps to a Neuvillette hypercarry that blends Freeze with Vaporize. Both rotations reach 9 stars in rapid clears, and their damage output holds up in a controlled test against a level 100 Ruin Guard.

Quick answer: Run Furina, Escoffier, Vodyanitsa, and Wriothesley in the first half, then Sigewinne, Citlali, Mavuika, and Neuvillette in the second half to clear all three Floor 12 chambers for 9 out of 9 stars.


First-half Wriothesley Freeze team

Wriothesley sits at Level 100 with a fully stacked crit build, backed by two Hydro appliers and a dedicated Cryo shredder. Furina drives the team buff and healing, Escoffier applies off-field Cryo and cuts resistance, and Vodyanitsa layers extra Hydro so Freeze stays up. Every unit here is at Constellation 6.

CharacterWeaponArtifacts (4pc)Crit Rate / DMG
Furina (Lv. 90)R5 Favonius SwordTenacity of the Millelith95.0% / 98.9%
Escoffier (Lv. 90)R1 Symphonist of ScentsScroll of the Hero of Cinder City85.6% / 140.2%
Vodyanitsa (Lv. 90)R3 Hymn of the MaestromSong of Days Past33.8% / 56.2%
Wriothesley (Lv. 100)R5 Cashflow SupervisionMarechaussee Hunter64.0% / 266.4%

Wriothesley’s Marechaussee Hunter set thrives on the HP swings Furina creates, which is why he carries such a high crit damage figure. Furina, meanwhile, runs a heavy Energy Recharge stat of 269.4% so her Burst is always ready at the start of the rotation.

Rotation order

Cast Furina’s Elemental Skill (Salon Solitaire) followed by her Elemental Burst (Let the People Rejoice) to open the fanfare buff and start the HP shifts.
Use Escoffier’s Elemental Burst, then her Elemental Skill, to apply off-field Cryo and shred enemy resistance.
Trigger Vodyanitsa’s Elemental Skill and Burst to keep Hydro on targets and stack additional buffs.
Enter Wriothesley’s stance with his Elemental Skill, then chain his enhanced normal and charged attacks to hold enemies Frozen and build Marechaussee Hunter stacks. Close with his Elemental Burst.

Second-half Neuvillette team

The second team puts Neuvillette on the field at Level 100 and pairs him with Citlali for Cryo, Mavuika for off-field Pyro, and Sigewinne for healing plus extra Hydro. That mix lets Neuvillette’s charged attacks land both Freeze and Vaporize, which is where a big chunk of the damage comes from. All four are at Constellation 6.

CharacterWeaponArtifacts (4pc)Crit Rate / DMG
Sigewinne (Lv. 90)R5 Sacrificial BowSong of Days Past17.0% / 69.4%
Citlali (Lv. 90)R2 Starcaller’s WatchScroll of the Hero of Cinder City57.5% / 63.2%
Mavuika (Lv. 100)R2 A Thousand Blazing SunsGolden Troupe88.0% / 154.5%
Neuvillette (Lv. 100)R1 Tome of the Eternal FlowMarechaussee Hunter59.8% / 272.2%

Neuvillette runs 48,150 HP alongside a 46.6% Hydro damage bonus, which feeds directly into his charged-attack scaling. Citlali brings 1,141 Elemental Mastery to boost reactions, and Mavuika adds a 46.6% Pyro damage bonus for her off-field coordinate strikes.

Rotation order

Open with Sigewinne’s Elemental Skill (Bouncing Hydrobubble) and Burst for healing and off-field Hydro.
Cast Citlali’s Elemental Skill and Burst to apply Cryo and set off the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City support buffs.
Cast Mavuika’s Burst and Skill, putting her off-field Pyro coordinated hits and field buffs into effect.
Use Neuvillette’s Elemental Skill, pick up the Sourcewater Droplets, then unleash his enhanced Equitable Judgment charged attacks, followed by his Burst and the trailing charged beams.

Floor 12 chamber clears and times

Each chamber splits into a Wriothesley first half and a Neuvillette second half. The clears are fast enough to bank the maximum time-based stars on every side.

ChamberFirst half (Wriothesley)Second half (Neuvillette)
Chamber 1Chimeric Burrowbeast — 16s10 foes incl. Fireblade Shock Troopers — 34s
Chamber 2Immortal Construct — 19sWhisperer of Nightmares — 31s
Chamber 3Domovoy Sculptor — 14sLightkeeper — 18s

The Wriothesley half is built around single targets, and the Battle-Hardened Chimeric Burrowbeast in Chamber 1 folds inside 16 seconds once Freeze locks it down. The same pattern repeats against the Immortal Construct and the Domovoy Sculptor, where consistent Cryo application keeps them controlled while Wriothesley cycles his enhanced attacks.

The Neuvillette half handles the wave-heavy rooms, including the ten-enemy opener in Chamber 1 and the Lord of the Hidden Depths in Chamber 2. Chamber 3’s Battle-Hardened Lightkeeper drops in 18 seconds once Neuvillette’s charged attacks start connecting.

DPS test against a level 100 Ruin Guard

Both rotations were run against a stationary level 100 Ruin Guard with a live damage meter to compare output over a full cycle.

TeamTeam DPSTotal damageDuration
Wriothesley640,22742,109,66965.77s
Neuvillette385,63324,167,60862.67s

The Wriothesley team is a true hypercarry setup. He alone contributes 84% of the team’s total, with Escoffier at 8%, Furina at 5%, and Vodyanitsa at 2%. His strongest hit lands at 599,047.

The Neuvillette team spreads its damage more. Neuvillette takes 53% of the total, Mavuika adds 31% through her Pyro strikes, Citlali chips in 13%, and Sigewinne rounds it out at 3%. That Pyro contribution is what pushes the team’s strongest hit up to 806,074, higher than the Wriothesley team even though its overall DPS is lower.


Other Floor 12 bosses in the cycle

Floor 12 chamber lineups rotate, so the exact enemies you face can differ from the run above. Across the current period, other encounters that appear in the chambers include the Perpetual Mechanical Array, the Secret Source Matrix, and the Battle-Hardened Pipilpan Idol.

How to confirm the full 9-star clear

You know the run is done when the “Challenge Ended” screen appears with the message that you have reached the bottom of the Spiral Abyss. The floor summary should read Floor 12 9/9, alongside 9/9 on Floors 9, 10, and 11. Hitting the three time thresholds in every chamber, remaining challenge time longer than 180, 300, and 420 seconds, is what secures all nine stars on Floor 12 and unlocks the 60,000 Mora and 200 Primogem bounty for a full clear.
