The list of top-picked characters for Spiral Abyss 3.8 includes a new name. Other characters in the Tier-S+ group maintain their position. Let's check out the top-picked characters in Spiral Abyss 3.8 here.
Table of Contents
#1. Tier S+
Nahida, Kazuha, Kokomi, and Yelan are the four most picked characters in Spiral Abyss 3.8. Kokomi surpassed Yelan to become the third most-picked character this season because there are more Riftwolves in the first half of Spiral Abyss 3.8. Therefore, you need a strong healer to save your team from Corrosion status.
Nahida is still the most-picked unit in the current Spiral Abyss season. The Dendro Archon has an excellent kit for powerful Dendro-based reactions. Kazuha and Yelan are still two of the most reliable characters as they give the main DPS great support and damage contribution as sub-DPS units in many teams. Also, they are flexible and easy to build and play.
#2. Tier S (Top 5 - 10)
Alhaitham, Nilou, Baizhu, and Raiden Shogun are reliable 5-star units for Spiral Abyss. They often take the roles of DPS and sub-DPS in many teams. But two 4-star characters Bennett and Xingqiu are even picked more than Nilou, Baizhu, and Raiden Shogun. It's due to their simple but effective kits. Moreover, they are cheap and easy to build.
Raiden Shogun is still a reliable unit. Moreover, she is older than other S-tier characters with many rerun banners. That's why lots of Genshin Impact players have owned this Hyper Carry damage dealer. Nilou, Alhaitham, and Baizhu's usage rates may increase when more players obtain them from upcoming rerun banners.
#3. Tier S (Top 11 - 17)
Kuki Shinobu and Xiangling also get high positions in the tier list. Their pick rates are considerably high, comparable with those of many 5-star characters, such as Zhongli, Childe, Ayaka, Shenhe, and Yea Miko. Shinobu is even picked more than Yae Miko though they wield the same element.
#4. Tier A
Ayato and Hu Tao are two tier-A characters in Spiral Abyss 3.8. Though they are powerful DPS characters, Hu Tao and Ayato are better for single targets. Therefore, these two characters are less picked in Spiral Abyss 3.8 in which you have to counter more enemy mobs. But they haven't been out of meta up to now as you can use their elemental skills to trigger many powerful reactions.
Obviously, AoE damage dealers are preferred in Spiral Abyss 3.8. Besides, Dendro-based elemental reactions, such as Hyperbloom and Burgeon are exploited largely to deal higher damage to the opponents. Kokomi becomes more reliable as her healing effects are necessary for early floors where you have to defeat Riftwolves with annoying corrosion debuff.
