Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss Runs / Completion

Explanation of Spiral Abyss:


The Spiral Abyss is a challenge that is available to most (all?) players after hitting a certain player level (Adventure Rank), and serves as an incentive for players to level up their characters. These challenges are broken up into different floors, with a total of 12 Floors, each with 3 Chambers that provide breakpoints between sets of enemies. Each Chamber, a player can earn up to three stars, with each star earning the player premium currency of 50 primogems.

  • At lower levels (Floors 1-8) while players are still leveling up their characters, the Spiral Abyss's easier challenges provide somewhat of a progress report on how strong a player's characters are, and beating Floors under increasingly difficult conditions and against increasingly difficult enemies.

  • At higher levels (Floors 9-12, which at this point is considered endgame content), players fight sets of more-difficult enemies and world bosses. The progress of these challenges in the Spiral abyss reset twice per month, offering players more rewards to claim upon their first completion per challenge period, along with different sets of enemies to fight.


How it relates to Outplayed, why it needs a feature:


I think the idea is useful for people who dedicate their time towards beating the Spiral Abyss and want to capture their successes and / or failures, or simply record for measuring damage output with the current build of the players' characters. The entire challenge is no small feat to accomplish, and is the (in my opinion) main place that players can show off their characters' strength and improvement in strength.


In Outplayed, I think the feature should be something along the lines of these:

  • For entire Spiral Abyss runs, recording should start a second or two before the player enters the portal to the Abyss, prompting the options of which Floor to fight, and what characters to choose. The recording ends after the player exits the Spiral Abyss, via Floor / Chamber completion and choosing to exit, OR after discontinuing halfway.

  • For individual Chamber runs, recording would start a second before players are prompted to choose their "Benediction of the Abyss" (a buff) at the start of every Chamber, and recording would stop upon completion of the Chamber.
