I really don't get why they have to include enemies that have iframes/invulnerability phases in a dungeon where time is important...

[joedalton]

This boss is so annoying because it spends most of the time burrowing under the ground, which is really frustrating. Thanks to this tip now i think i'll be able to finally 3-star this floor

doesnt hyv have experience with enemy design in honkai?? this is by far one of the stupidest stun mechanics. the window is not only small, the weak spot is erratic. i charged attack on it 3 times and none of the cores were destroyed. i understand its supposed to be hard, but the thing is i *cannot learn* how to do this especially since the overworld version of this boss has a different stun mechanic (using the lumen gadget). literally just praying my attacks hit it somewhat.

I don't know about you guys, but I think this boss is desinged with the only purpose to tilt you, to make you angry. Seriously, I finish the first half in 30 seconds, having 2 minutes and 30 seconds remaining to kill this boss, but even with that advantage I usually can't beat it because it spend like 95% of the entire time underground.

By far I prefer fighting Raiden weekly boss rather than this annoying and stupid ruin serpent boss.

The most consistent way I found to kill the cores without sacrificing team damage was with ayaka's CAs. They auto target multiple enemies once you start the CA, so by timing it well on the start, you can get a lot of cores down. Getting the last core or two just requires to pull off the same timing on his 2nd rotation. That allowed me to not sacrifice her burst daamge, or any of my support's abilities.

Your channel is criminally underrated man. I managed to 36* the abyss myself with a yae team, but couldn't manage with any other teams so this helped a lot.

[NadPhavichy]

You've saving my life. I've played like a fool without realized there are 4 blocks of weakness !!

[narwhale]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Got my first ever 36 stars with the help of this omg

Thanks for sharing this with all the community I hope more people can take a look at it. I'm having a hard time with this abyss ngl. The first floor is hard already. I like it though it gives you that feel of I want to pass this untill I get it

[acardoza]

This is a great guide! Thanks for making this. I've been looking for tips on this exact thing since the abyss dropped lol. The serpent boss is suuuuch a time waster for every second counts for my account. I'll try playing around with your suggestions!

I haven't tried this abyss yet, but after seeing the lineup all I can say is:

"Oh boy, I really don't want that Serpent to ruin me..."

[xmirabelle]

I was able to stun it from time to time as I farm for Heizhou and do abyss though I didn't know how. Lmao. But I just watched this vid and I did it on my first try. 😊 Thanks! Btw, Mona E + Ayaka CAs worked for me.

[Dartheomus]

Apparently now Keqing is actually closer to meta thanks to dendro. Might be worth a shot. Thanks for the explanation. I kept looking at this thing and trying to figure out why sometimes it got stunned and sometimes it didn't!

[tsYui]

THANKS, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? I got 3 stars 2 times, with few secs left bc I didn't know that, thank you

[marselherdian]

Damn bruh, u give me really important information, thx for this one even i already full star the spiral abyss. Idk why but my yelan burst + xingqiu burst + yoimiya hit always take him down while charging, at least i know that is its weak point from now.

[Icredivm]

It came back for 4.4 and boy howdy had serpent sniper Keqing a glow-up

[ArielWangGuzheng]

ty for the guide! I didn't know you could do this...
Here's something that works without having to aim:
I used Ayaka/Kokomi/Ganyu/Venti in this chamber with Ganyu on favonius bow (lots of energy), and when it started spinning Kokomi E (to trigger freeze for 4pc blizzard), Ganyu E (for energy particles), Ayaka Q, Ganyu Q, Venti (dash backwards) E-->Q almost instantly stunned it haha

[xuanucho]

The best way for me to stun it is by throwing a black hole at the boss then watch it suffers :)). Yes, the character I've never expected to be useful here but do a very great job at stunning the boss: Venti. Just standing at a distance from the boss, not too close, not too far, press Q, then do anything I want before the job is done.

Thanks man, nice explanation, really helped!

[ArcherNoElle]

very nice finding! You explain it very clearly. Thank you.
