Enemy Updates in Version 2.2

Spiral Abyss Optimization

Genshin Impact's Development team are working on a way to display the list of enemies before proceeding to the next floor. This change is said to come in subsequent versions, so no promises of it being available in Version 2.2 yet!

Enemy Skill CD Optimization

Some enemies' cooldowns don't pause when your game is paused, and this will be fixed in Version 2.2. Some enemy attack phases will also be fixed, so the enemies don't enter the next attack phase too quickly after unpausing.

	Enemy and Bug Fixes
1	The Primo Geovishap will no longer use its Primordial Shower too quickly.
2	The Maguu Kenki will no longer use its high-damage skills too quickly.
3	Childe will also no longer use his high-damage skills too quickly.
4	The Oceanid will no longer enter its next attack phase too quickly.

Gameplay and Feature Updates in Version 2.2

Co-Op Mode Optimization

	Enemy and Bug Fixes
1	The default party members will be restored after leaving Co-Op Mode.
2	If a Co-Op member leaves, characters from the host's default party will replace them.

These optimizations to Co-Op mode will be available in future versions, but not in Version 2.2 yet.
