The Sub Detection Unit is a new collectible in Genshin Impact 4.1. You have to farm lots of units to ascend the upcoming character Wriothesley. Here are the best farming routes for this collectible.

#1. Liffey Region

• Grab four units on the platform of the Statue of Seven.
• Head toward the waterfall in the south of Mont Esus East to grab two units on the upper platform and another on the lower platform.
• Next, glide or swim to the farthest island from the fall to capture one.
• Then, travel along the path to the tower in the north and you will grab three other units.

Use Mona or Ayaka to sprint to the tower location faster as there isn't any waypoint near the tower.

• Climb broken walls in the area of the ruins;
• Visit mountain ledges around the institute;
• Head to the tall town in the North of the Central Laboratory Ruins;

It's easier if you start farming from a high spot and glide downwards.

#3. Mary-Ann Memorial Park Route

You should start your Subdetection Unit Mary-Ann Memorial Park farming route from the Statue of Seven in the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering.

• Under the broken parts of bridge ruins;
• Around the platform of the Experimental Field Generator
• On the top floor of the next building.

You can farm lots of sub-detection units on the way connecting two Statues of Seven in the new map. Don't forget to use teleport waypoints to approach the location of Subdetection Units quickly.

#1. The Remain of The Day Chest & Achievement

The first hidden chest is easy to get, but you can also miss it easily as there is no sign showing you there is a chest to collect there. From the east-most teleport waypoint of the new map which is close to the lake, you head southeast to an abandoned camping spot with wood logs and a painting on the easel.

Sit on the log in front of the painting, set the time to 4.55 p.m., and take a photo of the landscape when the time reaches 5 p.m. Apart from a Precious chest, you also unlock the hidden achievement "The Remain of The Day".

#2. Bulle Fruits Puzzle Chest

The next hidden treasure chest in Fontaine 4.1 can be found in the Central Laboratory Ruins. Use the Teleport waypoint in the south of the Statue of Seven, then head to your right side until you find five Bulle fruits on the ground.

Pick up all these fruits to unveil the hidden treasure chest here. After picking all five Bulle fruits, there will be three Treasure Hoarders summoned. Defeat them before claiming the chest.

#3. In Floating Hydro Block

The third hidden treasure chest in Fontaine 4.1 is also located in the Central Laboratory Ruins, but it spawns inside a floating Hydro block. Therefore, you have to find the way to the floating block nearest to the Teleport Waypoint on the mountain slope.

Upon entering the water block, follow the glowing spots on floating stones in the water. After keeping up with these glowing spots five times successfully, you can unveil a common chest.

#4. Bulle Fruit On The Pine Tree

You can find the next hidden treasure chest in the new Fontaine Research Institute. There is a Teleport Waypoint at the entrance of this institute. Use this waypoint to reach this destination quickly.

Then, find a Bulle fruit on the top of a high pine tree. You have to climb that tree and grab that fruit to summon the hidden treasure chest. It's an interesting puzzle in Genshin Impact 4.1.

#5. Gunpowder Container On Mountain Peak

There is another hidden treasure chest on the peak of the mountain opposite the Statue of Seven in the Central Laboratory Ruins. You only have to teleport to this Statue and glide to the opposite mountain. Then, climb to the mountain peak.

There is a gunpowder barrel on the mountain peak. You should use a bow wielder to trigger the explosion from a safe distance to reveal the fifth hidden chest without getting damaged.

#6. Underwater Teleport Waypoint

The sixth hidden treasure chest spawns in the Fontaine Research Institute but it lies underwater. From the underwater teleport waypoint in this area, swim along the trench and approach the underwater tower.

Don't forget to gather Xenochromatic Jellyfish's ability in advance. Then, find a strange stone near the tower. Destroy that stone and then ruin nearby cylinders. Then, the last hidden chest will appear in the position of the destroyed stone.

#7. Tear Off Notes On Walls

There is another secret chest to unlock in the new Fortress of Meropide of Fontaine 4.1. Teleport to the waypoint in the south of the Fortress and find some notes posted on three walls near the waypoint.

Go to these posts and tear them off the walls. Then, you have to talk to the NPC Maupoil about these posts. After that, you will get the hidden chest.

#8. Complete Checkpoints Precisely

You may easily miss this hidden chest if you don't check the surrounding area carefully when reaching the first Statue of Seven you unlock on the new map.

After you go there from the Court of Fontaine and unlock this Statue of Seven, look back and observe three broken walls behind you. Then, you can spot some checkpoints on these broken walls. Climb the wall behind you and land on checkpoints precisely to get the secret chest.

Neuvillette is a new powerful Hydro DPS character in Genshin Impact 4.0. He has an overwhelming kit for difficult challenges like Spiral Abyss. Let's check out the top six Neuvillette teams you can rely on in every challenge.

#1. Hypercarry

Neuvillette can play as the main on-field DPS in his Hypercarry team. Here are some recommended supporters for the Chief Justice.

• Barbara C2 or another Hydro character like Xingqiu or Yelan for Hydro Resonance;
• An offfield sub-DPS like Fischl and Yae Miko;
• Kaedehara Kazuha.

They will buff the output damage for this main DPS when he stays on-field.

#2. Hyperbloom

Besides the Hydro application, Neuvillette is also responsible for triggering the Hyperbloom reactions. You can use the following characters to help him trigger this reaction.

• Nahida or Dendro Traveler;
• Raiden Shogun, Kuki Shinobu, or Dori.

Besides, you need a healer or shielder like Zhongli or Baizhu to keep this on-field DPS safe and alive when countering dangerous bosses in the Spiral Abyss.

#3. Neuvillette + Nilou Bloom

Neuvillette plays as a Hydro applicator and Nilou will trigger Bountiful Cores. Then, you need Nahida or Dendro Traveler to mark enemies with Dendro auras. The last position should be either Baizhu or Yaoyao for the healing effect. One of these Dendro characters should be equipped with the Deepwood Memories artifact set for the Dendro DMG Bonus.

#4. Vaporize

Neuvillette and Xiangling can cooperate to trigger the Vaporize reaction. Therefore, you need to build their kits well. Besides, Xiangling needs Bennett to recharge energy to spam her elemental burst.

There is only one slot for a supporter in Neuvillette's Vaporize team. You can use Kazuha or Sucrose to spread the Pyro element of Guoba and the Hydro element of Neuvillette. Or else, use Zhongli or Layla for a shield and avoid interruption.

#5. Freeze

It's easy to build a strong Freeze team with Neuvillette. You need two Cryo characters for Cryo Resonance. Ayaka and Shenhe are two recommended characters. Besides, you can use Ganyu, Rosaria, Diona, or Layla if available.

Then, pick an Anemo character to spread the range of Hydro and Cryo auras. Kazuha is the best option. But you can use Venti or Sucrose to replace him if Kazuha is not available.

#6. Electro-Charged

Electro-Charged is a strong team for the Chief Justice. Pick at least two Electro characters for this team, such as Fischl, Yae Miko, or Beidou. The pair of Yae Miko and Fischl are two easy-to-play characters who are only responsible for unleashing their elemental skill before you switch to Neuvillette. Beidou is also an ideal sub-DPS with her Electro shield and Poise index.

There are many options for the last position on this team. Here are some recommendations for you.

• Choose a shielder like Zhongli, Layla, or Baizhu if you are not confident in your movement;
• Pick an Anemo character with a Viridescent Venerer set or Mora with a Noblesse Oblige set for damage buff.

Build your own team based on these elemental reactions to clear enemies faster. If you can get Neuvillette can play solo and clear the whole opponent mob without any sub-DPS and supporters. Neuvillette and Hutao's banners are available to pull now. Try to get him and build a strong team with this DPS.

Hu Tao is one of the best Spiral Abyss DPS in Genshin Impact if you master this character. Let's check out the best tips to use Hu Tao optimally and effectively in Genshin Impact to take advantage of this Pyro DPS.

#1. Set Up Statues Of Seven

Hu Tao is most powerful when her HP is equal to or lower than 50% due to her passive talent Sanguine Rouge. She will receive a 33% Pyro damage buff thanks to this talent. Therefore, you should set the healing limit for Hu Tao at 80%.

When Hu Tao uses her elemental skill, her HP will decrease by 30% to buff her normal attacks by 400%. Therefore, limiting her max HP to 80% is the best way to optimize her health level and maximize the output damage for this Pyro DPS.

#2. Master Her Elemental Bursts

Many Genshin Impact players save her elemental burst for healing when necessary. But this wastes the huge damage of her ultimate attack. To make use of her elemental burst, you should unleash this burst when her elemental skill is still active. It will boost the output damage for the Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor insanely.

You should focus on the output damage for Hu Tao. She has Xingqiu and Yelan to support her team now. Therefore, she needs a shielder like Zhongli to keep her shape when her HP goes down. Then, Hu Tao does not need to use her burst as a healing skill.

#3. Cancel Her Charged Attack Animation

Hu Tao's charged attack deals higher damage to enemies during the active time of her elemental skill. Thus, you should unleash as many charged attacks as possible within 9 seconds of her elemental skill.

After learning how to cancel the animation of her charged attacks, you can unleash another charged attack. There are two ways to cancel her charged attack animation in this game, including jumping and unleashing a charged attack.

• If you have Hu Tao C0, you should jump to cancel the animation;
• Only unleash another charged attack to cancel the animation when you have Hu Tao C1.

Try to unleash as many charged attacks as possible during the active time of her elemental skill.

#4. Pay Attention To Elemental Mastery

Many players often ignore the Elemental Mastery status for Hu Tao and only focus on the Crit Rate or Crit damage. But her power relies on elemental reactions. Therefore, you should build this status for the young Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. The ideal Elemental Mastery indicator for Hu Tao is over 150 or 200.

Those are the best tips to use Hy Tao in Genshin Impact from pro players. Master this 5-star Pyro DPS to defeat dangerous bosses in this game.

The Hydro Archon Furina may come out in Genshin Impact 4.2. Though update 4.1 has been started recently, many F2P players started to save Primogems for her banners. Here are five reasons why you should save Primogems and Intertwined Fates for her banner.

#1. Furina Can Move On Water Surface With Skill

Furina is the best character at moving on the water surface in Genshin Impact. Ayaka needs to freeze the water surface and create a frozen path in water bodies to walk on. Both Mona and Ayaka consume lots of stamina to move on the water surface in Genshin Impact. Sangonomiya Kokomi has to use the elemental burst to walk on the water which cannot last long.

Unlike these characters, Furina can walk on the water with her elemental skill. The duration of this skill is also longer than elemental bursts. It makes the Hydro Archon an ideal character for open-world exploration trips in Fontaine and Teyvat.

#2. Her Damage Scales On Max HP

Her output damage scale on her max HP. Therefore, you should save Primogems for an HP-buff weapon, such as her signature weapon Splendor of Still Waters. The damage rate of the character is worth expecting. You can make Furina stronger by upgrading her elemental skill, burst, passive talents, and Furina C2 and C6.

#3. Impressive Supportive Ability

Furina is also good at supporting her team in many aspects. In the Pneuma phase, the Hydro Archon can heal her allies with her elemental skill. Besides, her elemental burst can buff damage for her allies and heal HP for them. In short, she is one of the most versatile supporters in Genshin Impact who can apply Hydro element, heal, and buff allies.

#4. Possess Both Ousia And Pneuma

Most of the Fontaine characters possess either Ousia or Pneuma energy. Furina is a special character who has both the Ousia and Pneuma phases. She can easily switch between these two phases after using her charged attacks. Moreover, her outfit and hairstyle also change when she switches between the Ousia and Pneuma phases. Therefore, she is very useful for the exploration trip in the world of Fontaine.

#5. Be An Archon In Teyvat

As one of the Seven Archons in Teyvat, Furina is one of the most expected characters in Genshin Impact. Her story and ability are attractive. She can play many roles, especially the supportive role. Moreover, the Hydro element never goes out of the meta. Therefore, she is a worth-pulling character in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact's game strategy changes with each update. Only a few characters stay important despite big shifts. When new characters come into the game, they usually become the center of attention, unless they have a bad weapon or skills.

Recently, a new chart has been released showcasing the most popular characters for Spiral Abyss 4.1. The game underwent several changes, with the addition of new characters, weapons, and enemies. Which are the most used teams in Spiral Abyss 4.1? Spoiler alert, many of the characters come from Sumeru, while others have experienced a decline in popularity over the last couple of weeks.

1. Best teams for Spiral Abyss 4.1 Genshin Impact

What about the top 10 teams for Spiral Abyss 4.1? Check out the most used ones for each half.

First half

In the first half of floor 12 in Spiral Abyss 4.1, players should prioritize teams with decent AoE skills. Therefore, we have:

1. Alhaitham, Nahida, Xingqiu, Kuki Shinobu
2. Ayaka, Kazuha, Kokomi, Shenhe: Ayaka Hypercarry maintains a favorite option as they can take out monsters in the blink of an eye.
3. Hu Tao, Zhongli, Yelan, Xingqiu: Although Hu Tao is not popular for AoE and this team may not be the best for crowd control, they can still wipe out opponents with their elemental reactions.
4. Alhaitham/Tighnari, Yae Miko, Nahida, Zhongli: Dendro and Electro damage is the biggest edge that this roster can offer.
5. Lyney, Kazuha, Bennett, Zhongli

Second half

For the second half of Spiral Abyss floor 12 of version 4.1, all teams have a noticeable single-target damage.

1. Childe, Kazuha, Xiangling, Bennett: The Childe National team continues to take the top spot as they are suitable for both AoE and single-target strategies.
2. Nahida, Yelan/Kokomi, Nilou, Baizhu/DendroTraveler
3. Neuvillette, Childe, Kazuha, Baizhu: This team is created mainly to flaunt the most potential of Neuvillette.
4. Nahida, Xingqiu, Yelan, Kuki Shinobu: Bloom team never fails to impress when it comes to fighting single-target enemies in Genshin Impact. Yelan and Xingqiu can also create the most powerful Hydro attacks to defeat the enemies.
5. Raiden Shogun, Yelan, Xiangling, Bennett

As enemies on floor 12-2-2 mostly bear the Cryo and Anemo element, it is understandable why DPS with these elements are less used.

2. Most used characters in Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss 4.1

A chart made by fans on Reddit has compiled the most popular units for Spiral Abyss 4.1. And top most used characters are Nahida, Kazuha, and Yelan. Nahida topped the list with an impressive 83.1% usage rate.

The meta seems to have stayed quite consistent, as these three banners dominated Spiral Abyss version 4.0 last month.

For the S-tier, we have Zhongli, Xingqiu, Alhaitham, and Bennett. One of the newest characters in the game, Neuvillette, also makes it into the top 10 with a usage rate of 61.1%. Although he is quite a newbie in terms of appearance in Genshin Impact, many players have considered him a must-have thanks to his powerful kit.

Meanwhile, characters like Kokomi, Baizhu, Kuki Shinobu, Tartaglia are also used frequently for this season's challenges. It is evident that players aimed for reactions revolving around Hydro, Electro, and Dendro elements.

Another Sumeru-based character, Wanderer, holds a lower rank than Nahida. He has an average rate of 21.1%, likely due to a power gap between them.

Although the land of Hydro has recently arrived, its native characters have yet to become the top choices for players. We should wait and see if there is any surprise regarding this matter in the time coming.

3. Least used characters in Spiral Abyss 4.1

Unfortunately, not every character could maintain their relevance in the meta. Banners featuring Aloy, Diluc, Thoma, and 33 others fell short of achieving a 5% usage rate.

To secure victories this season, players must mix both close-up and long-range characters with diverse elements. A significant number of players concentrate on blending different elements to optimize their team's performance.

This can be understood as each Spiral Abyss season will feature different types of opponents. Players should opt for the best roster in order to finish the battle in time, hence getting all the rewards they deserve.

While most Hydro, Electro, and Dendro characters took the top spots in Spiral Abyss version 4.1, other units that ranked in the B and C-tiers may find another time to shine. Let's look forward to version 4.2 and 4.3 Spiral Abyss updates.

Spiral Abyss 4.1 introduces some new bosses and retains many familiar bosses. You may need some changes in your team comps. But some old teams are still effective. Let's check out the most recommended teams for Spiral Abyss 4.1 Floor 12.

#1. QuickBloom

QuickBloom is an old Spiral Abyss team throughout many seasons. Therefore, many players have been familiar with this team. But it can be strange for beginners. Here are four recommended characters for a QuickBloom team.

• Alhaitham
• Nahida
• Xingqiu
• Kuki Shinobu

Nahida provides a great number of Dendro auras for Xingqiu and Shinobu to trigger the Hyperbloom reactions. Besides, Xingqiu's elemental burst can support Alhaitham's attacks well.

#2. Premium Freeze

You should try the Premium Freeze team this season to stop enemies and freeze them in the second and third chambers of Floor 12.  This is a simple but effective team in Spiral Abyss 4.1. The main DPS Kamisato Ayaka will receive giant buffs from Shenhe, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Sangonomiya Kokomi.

#3. Hu Tao - Yelan

Hu Tao is the best single-target DPS who is useful for the single boss in Chamber 1 of Floor 12. Here are the roles of the four members of this team.

• Yelan and Xingqiu apply the Hydro aura to the boss to let Hu Tao trigger the Vaporize reaction;
• Hu Tao unleashes her bursts to trigger Vaporise reactions;
• Zhongli provides a strong shield for active characters.

Hu Tao is a strong DPS. But she will be vulnerable without the Geo shield of Zhongli.

#4. Alhaitham Carry

Alhaitham Carry is a strong team relying on the Aggravate and Spread reactions. These elemental reactions help maximize the Dendro DMG of Nahida and Alhaitham. In addition, the AoE damage from Beidou's elemental burst makes this team pass the second and third chambers of Floor 12 quickly. Besides, you need the shield of Zhongli to stay alive and safe to pass these chambers.

#5. Lyney Mono

The Mono Pyro team emerged in Genshin Impact 4.0 after the release of Lyney. He plays as the main DPS in this team and receives buffs from Kaedehara Kazuha and Bennett. In addition, Xiangling's AoE damage buff helps this team clear small bosses effectively and quickly.

Energy Recharge is the advantage of this team. They can create and collect tons of energy particles quickly and continually. It allows these four characters to spam their elemental burst uninterruptedly.

This team is also effective and useful in countering the two new Fontaine bosses Dirge of Coppelia with high Anemo Res and Prototype Cal. Breguet with high Geo Res in this season. You shouldn't use Anemo and Geo DPS to counter them. Lyney's Mono Pyro team is better at defeating these enemies.

#6. International Team

The international team is usually a wonderful team for Spiral Abyss Floors with large mobs, such as the first chamber of Floor 12. The AoE damage from Xiangling and Tartaglia as well as their Vaporize reactions helps clear a large number of enemies. They also perform well when countering other bosses in other chambers of Floor 12. Bennett and Kazuha will provide significant buffs for these two DPS units.

#7. Nilou Bloom

Nilou's Bloom team deals tons of damage to enemies with the damage from Bountiful Cores. Her passive talent lets her trigger exclusive Bountiful Cores with Dendro characters. Baizhu's healing ability and shield will keep the whole team alive from Rifthounds' attacks and Bountiful Cores on the battlefield (Bountiful Cores can cause damage to both Nilou's team and the opponents).

#8. Neuvillette Carry

Neuvillette has entered the top list of most picked characters in Spiral Abyss 4.1. He is one of the best single-target and multi-target DPS with insane DMG. When combined with Nahida and Kaedehara Kazuha, the Chief Justice can clear Rifthounds on the first floor of Floor 12 easily. Besides, the interaction between Dehya and Neuvillette on the two last floors of this floor is good. This team can pass this floor quickly.

#9. Premium Raiden Team

Raiden National has a stable damage amount. This team can clear annoying Rifthounds quickly by spamming the elemental bursts of all four characters: Yelan, Bennett, Raiden Shogun, and Xiangling. Besides, the Electro archon receives great DMG bonuses from Yelan and Bennett to deal tons of damage to enemies. Xiangling also contributes to the output damage with her AoE burst.

#10. NaXingKu

Bloom team never makes you down with its continual damage to all enemies on the battlefield. The release of the Dendro Archon Nahida in Genshin Impact 3.6 helps you mark all opponents without a crowd-control character. Xingqiu and Yelan will fight off enemies with huge Hydro DMG. Shinobu helps trigger Hyperbloom reactions and heal the team when necessary.

I. Jadewater Fruit Puzzles

You can find 16 Jadewater Fruit puzzles around Fontaine. This is a new type of treasure puzzle in the Fontaine Research Institute area. You need to trigger powerful elemental reactions to burst them and solve the puzzle.

As Jadewater Fruit has the Hydro element, you should use the strongest elemental reactions to burst this bubble.

• Dendro is the best option;
• Cryo is the second-best choice;
• Anemo and Geo elements are less recommended.

You should use Nahida, Ganyu, or other Dendro and Cryo catalyst/bow wielders to aim and shoot these fruits from a safe distance. Some Jadewater fruits will drop several Hydro particles on the ground. You have to pick these particles to summon the treasure chest.

Besides, some Jadewater Fruits will summon a local enemy. You have to defeat these enemies to get the treasure chest.

II. Stabilizer Puzzles

Stabilizer scatters all over the new map of Fontaine 4.1. You have to hit this device on time to solve the puzzle. When you approach this device, activate it. Then, the ring starts to move down. Hit it with three to nine accurate strikes when it reaches the blue-lit check zone.

If you see the device is in red, it's not ready to activate. You have to pick the charged part and install it on the device. Then, you can interact with the Stabilizer device and activate it. You should use sword wielders to strike this device easily and nimbly.

III. Energy Transfer Terminal

Energy Transfer Terminal is another new puzzle device in Genshin Impact 4.1. Follow these steps to use this device and solve puzzles.

>>> Also Read: Top Picked Characters For Spiral Abyss 4.1: Neuvillette Entered Top 10

Spiral Abyss 4.1 features many new enemies and bosses from Fontaine. There are some changes in the rank of some top-picked characters. Let's check out the most used characters for Spiral Abyss 4.1 and learn why they are highly trusted.

I. Top 3 Remains Unchanged

Nahida, Kazuha, and Yelan are still the top-used characters in Spiral Abyss. They are still the most reliable DPS and sub-DPS characters for this combat challenge.

Nahida has an impressive pick rate of 83.1% which proves her usefulness of the Dendro Archon in Spiral Abyss. With overwhelming skill and burst, she can trigger lots of powerful reactions, especially Bloom and Hyperbloom reactions with powerful Dendro Cores.

Kazuha's Swirl is always one of the most essential reactions in Spiral Abyss as it spreads the AoE of elemental attacks and reactions. Moreover, he has the best crowd-control skills, which is critical in this combat challenge. That's why his pick rate is up to 82.2%.

With a high pick rate of 70%, Yelan remains in the group of the top S+ tier characters for Spiral Abyss. Her AoE Hydro burst supports Nahida in triggering Bloom reactions on a wide area.

II. Neuvillette Surpasses Kokomi

Before the release of Fontaine and new bosses, Kokomi had been in the tier S plus. But she dropped out of this top list, especially after Neuvillette came out. The Chief Justice of Fontaine became one of the most helpful units for the new season thanks to his Fontaine features. He can replace many Hydro characters in many Spiral Abyss 4.1 teams, such as Hyperbloom, Bloom, Freeze, etc.

He also surpassed Raiden Shogun and Baizhu, who were among the top-used characters in previous seasons. But his pick rate hasn't surpassed Zhongli, Xingqiu, Alhaitham, and Bennett. These four characters have been reliable playable units for Spiral Abyss. Zhongli's shield is essential for vulnerable on-field DPS like Nahida, Alhaitham, Yelan, etc.

Are Fontaine characters increasingly preferred?

Lyney is another Fontaine character from the Land of Hydro. He cannot enter the tier-S group though he also has the Arkhe Energy, indicating that not every Fontaine character is preferred in Spiral Abyss 4.1 challenges.

But you can expect other upcoming Fontaine characters, such as Wriothesley and the Hydro Archon Furina. These characters are expected to have overwhelming power.

III. Zhongli, Alhaitham & Kokomi Remain Important

Zhongli, Alhaitham, and Kokomi are still in the top-S characters thanks to their abilities. Their kits are not out of meta.

• Zhongli has an unbreakable shield which is essential for your team when countering powerful bosses in Spiral Abyss 4.1, such as machinery bosses. These new bosses have strong shields and great elemental resistance. Then, you DPS characters like Nahida, Alhaitham, Nilou, etc. have to stay on-field longer. They need a solid shield to stay safe from these bosses.
• Alhaitham is a powerful on-field Dendro DPS for those who couldn't get Nahida. This character can trigger many meta reactions, such as Burgeon, Bloom, Hyperbloom, etc. to boost the output damage to enemies.
• Kokomi's healing effect is less preferred, but it's still essential for many players who haven't got Neuvillette. She is still an ideal supporter and healer for many Dendro, Cryo, Electro, and Pyro teams. Apart from her healing ability, her Hydro application kit is still suitable in the current meta.

IV. Top Used 4-Star Characters

There are four 4-star playable characters who have performed very well throughout many seasons. Therefore, they still remain in the group of tier-S characters thanks to their versatility and uses. In addition, most of the veterans in Genshin Impact have reached the optimal constellation levels as well as the best weapons and artifacts for these old characters.

• Xingqiu (65%)
• Bennett (61.9%)
• Kuki Shinobu (51.7%)
• Xiangling (41.6%).

These 4-star characters even surpassed many top-picked 5-star characters in previous seasons, such as Raiden Shogun and Hu Tao. Most of the single-target characters dropped their rank throughout recent reasons as Sprial Abyss features more enemy mobs. But these four fixed characters of National teams still stay on high positions.

They are the best characters to use in Spiral Abyss 4.1. The launch of Neuvillette brought an amazing option for lots of team. If you have got these characters, build a strong team to complete all chambers with 3 stars and earn tons of Primogems.

I. Hydroculus Quantity [Till Update 4.1]

Fontaine is a large nation with aboveground, underground, and underwater areas. This nation also has 150 Hydroculi until update 4.1. It's still fewer than the quantity of Dendroculi in Sumeru (271 Dendroculi). But there can be more Hydroculi in upcoming updates when further parts are unlocked.

You have to collect all Hydroculi in aboveground, underground, and underwater areas around this nation to maximize the level of the Hydro Statue of Seven in Fontaine. It will be a difficult challenge for Genshin Impact players.

It's easier to farm Hydroculi by using Hydroculus Resonance Stone to locate nearby oculi to farm them faster. You have to reach Reputation Level 8 in Fontaine to get this gadget for your Hydroculus farming trip. Mark their locations on your minimap to check all collected and wait-to-collect items.

II. Hydroculus Locations & Farming Routes

Hydroculi can be found on the ground, underground, and even underwater. Fontaine has a large area of water bodies with lots of boats and ships. You can find many oculi on these offshore ships. Let's check out the best Hydroculi farming routes in the current Fontaine here, including 85 Hydroculi in Fontaine 4.0 and 65 Hydroculi in Fontaine 4.1.

#1. Court Of Fontaine

The northern part of the current map is an urban area with the capital city of this nation where the Court of Fontaine is located.

• You can find 9 oculi along the waterway to the city inner.
• There are 3 oculi in the outer round of the city.
• 10 oculi appear in the water bodies in the north of this map.
• Go to the Opera Epiclese to grab 3 items.
• Marcotte Station has 2 items.
• 9 oculi are scattered in the mountain area in the north of the Fontaine Capital City.

#2. The Beryl & Belleau Regions

Traveler has to go through the south of Fontaine to reach the capital city in the North. Unlike big cities in the north, the south of the Hydro nation is more rural and mountainous. Here are the recommended farming routes for you.

• There are 2 oculi near the first Statue of Seven in Fontaine that you unlock right after entering this nation.
• Take the boat towards the capital city. Along the way, you can see the mark of 14 oculi along two sides of the waterway.
• There are 9 oculi in the water body in the middle.
• 20 rest oculi can be found in the mountainous area of Elynas.

#3. Mont Esus East

There are eight Hydroculi in the Mont Esus East. You can find them around the Teleport Waypoint. Therefore, you should start your farming route from this waypoint. Then, head north, south, and east to see their icons on the minimap. They often spawn low on the ground and on the top of a box and tower.

There are two Hydroculi underwater in this area. From the waypoint, head south and dive into a cave. You can collect them while doing the quest "In Search of Lost Time". Other collectibles spawn along the path and near mountain cliffs.

#4. Central Laboratory Ruins (South)

You can find 18 Hydroculi in the Southern part of Central Laboratory Ruins. Two of them are hidden in an underwater chamber. You can find them while processing the quest "Treacherous Light of the Depths".

The other 16 items spawn above the ground, near two Statues of Seven and three Teleport Waypoints in this region. You don't have to solve any puzzles or unlock any hidden chambers to get these collectibles. Here are some recommended farming routes in this area.

• Start from the Statue of Seven near the Court of Fontaine, go along the path to the other Statue of Seven, and collect around 10 oculi along the path.
• From the Teleport Waypoint in the South of the area, head towards the domain of the Experimental Field Generator boss and find 4 items in this area.
• Teleport back to that waypoint and glide down the mountain slope towards the Statue of Seven and the Lake on the north side.
• When reaching the lake and unlocking another teleport waypoint, head to the north and south ends of the road to grab two other collectibles.

#5. Central Laboratory Ruins (North)

There are 24 Hydroculi in the Southern part of Central Laboratory Ruins. You can find five collectibles on the high ground of the floating ruins. Travelers have to run and glide along the floating path. There is one collectible inside one Hydro cube.

Other 19 collectibles spawn above the ground. You need to use portable Energy devices in the institute to get some hidden collectibles. Besides, most of them are easy to collect. Keep an eye on the minimap and head towards their locations to find them. Here are some notes for you.

• You can find lots of oculi on different steps of the mountain slopes.
• Stick to the coastal line so that you will not miss any collectibles lying between the land and the water bodies.
• There is one off-shore oculus on the small island in the north of the water part, near the northern border of Fontaine 4.1.
• You should start from the northmost teleport waypoint and head south to take advantage of the terrain because this waypoint lies on the top of the mountain. So, you can glide down and look around to spot oculi. Gliding is faster and easier than climbing in Genshin Impact.

You should use Anemo characters like Wanderer, Venti, and Kazuha to launch into the air, touch these items, and jump between broken parts of the floating path. Besides, Zhongli, Albedo, and Geo Travelers can provide Geo platforms to climb and reach floating oculi.

#6. Underwater Area

You can find 15 Hydroculi in the underwater area of the new Fontaine map in Update 4.1. Half of them spawn inside underwater tunnels. You can see their icons on the minimap while processing quests in this area. Most of them spawn near Tepeort waypoints. Therefore, you should collect these items when going to unlock these underwater waypoints.

III. How To Use Hydroculi

When getting enough Hydro Oculi to unlock a new level of the Statue of Seven, you should go to one of three statues at the entrance of the city, West Slopes of Mont Automnequi, or Court of Fontaine. Unlocking a new level of this statue gives players many attractive rewards, such as Primogems, Shrine of Depth Keys, etc.

Collecting Hydroculi is one of the best ways to collect Adventure Encounter Points and claim Daily Commission Rewards without having to do these missions. You can unlock a Daily Commission gift box when collecting every two Hydroculi. Don't forget to claim Daily Commission rewards after obtaining eight Hydroculi per day.

With 150 Oculi in the current map, you can unlock the Statues of Seven in the Land of Hydro to level 7. Just wait for further parts of the Hydro nation to be unlocked for more Hydroculi.
