The leaked special/event abyss changes are wild.
Only characters with pyro/electro/anemo allowed in, but you can borrow a character from a friend
Every season of this special abyss gives 620 primos for completion
Regular abyss went from 600 primos to 800 primos too.
Primo rewards both sound fine. I'm good with that.
Does the new mode mean only certain elements allowed, or locked to mono-element? Because while at this point either is fine due to the age of my account and how many characters I have, I'm kind of opposed to "you need these kinds of character to play this mode" kind of stuff. It's fine if it's "these kind of characters excel", like how in Star Rail for Pure Fiction AoE characters do better than single target, but when it's "only ice characters allowed" it really sucks for newer accounts if there isn't a Trial kind of system in place.
Like I play the DMC mobile game and I actually enjoy it, but the elemental bullshit is very limiting. There aren't many characters, some elements have very few (or no) 4* equivalents and there is a mode locked to teams of each element (Physical Realm, Ice Realm etc) and the boss hunt stuff heavily favours teams of x type against each boss (better have an Ice team on hand to chill the fire spider boss or else you're not going to get past that part of the fight meaning a very low score). Genshin has always been MUCH better about monetisation, team building and limited modes so I don't really worry too much, just I'd hope for newer accounts there are things in place so they can participate.
