Skirk's Information

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ｜ Element：Cryo ｜ Weapon:  Sword

The formidable Skirk makes her grand debut as a main DPS in Genshin Impact Version 5.7, bringing a unique energy mechanic similar to Mavuika according to trusted leaker HXG.

Skirk is said to be the mysterious swordswoman who was Tartaglia's master during his time in the Abyss. She first appeared during the Fontaine Archon Quest—right after the Traveler and Neuvillette took down the All-Devouring Narwhal. She made a big entrance, showing off her insane combat skills—and dropping hints about the mysterious “Outlanders from beyond this world.”

 

V3 Changes Overview

Leaked Adjustment Summary:
1.Increased Elemental Burst Multiplier: The final multiplier for the elemental burst has been increased from 6099.87% to 6363.66%. However, the base multiplier has been weakened, indicating that it now relies more on attack power bonuses.
2.Significant Strengthening at Constellation2: Skirk's attack power is increased by 60%, which compensates for the previous lack of attack power. When combined with the high base attack value of the signature weapon, the benefits are even greater.
3.Reduced E Skill Cooldown: The cooldown for the E skill has been reduced by one second, slightly improving the skill loop.
Overall Analysis:The new changes generally indicate that Skirk has been strengthened. This also means that the constellation 2 is a key milestone for Skirk, and the benefits of Escoffier's signature weapon for Skirk have increased significantly! Is this a strategy by the HoYoverse?

Kit Overview

Here's what we currently know about Skirk's V3 kit based on HomDGCat. 

While the information remains incomplete, you can trust LDShop to deliver the fastest updates and most reliable news! So be sure to follow us for all the latest developments!

Normal Attack -- Foul Art: Rend

• Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 consecutive attacks.
• Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to throw a revolving crystal pole, dealing DMG to opponents in front.
• Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Serpent's Subtlety

Skirk can consume Serpent's Subtlety to maintain Seven-Phase Flash and cast Elemental Burst Foul Art: Ruin.

Skirk can gain Serpent's Subtlety via the following:

• After casting Elemental Skill Foul Art: Flash;
• Absorb Void Rifts via Talent Reason Beyond Reason.

When Skirk is switched off-field during Seven-Phase Flash, or when Seven-Phase Flash ends, removed all stacks of Serpent's Subtlety.

Seven-Phase Flash

After casting Elemental Skill Foul Art: Flash, Skirk will switch to this mode for some time. It has the following properties:

• Guadually consumes Serpent's Subtlety;
• Increases the AoE of and DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks, and increases Skirk's interruption resistance;
• Normal Attack, Charged Attack and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Cryo DMG that cannot be overriden by infusions;
• Elemental Burst Foul Art: Ruin will be replaced by Foul Art: Decimate;
• Skirk can move on water when she sprints;
• When Serpent's Subtlet is depleted or duration expires, Skirk exits this state and her Elemental Skill enters CD.

Elemental Skill -- Foul Art: Flash

Imitates The Foul's combat style. Has different effects when Tapped or Held.

Tap:

Skirk gains 45 stacks of Serpent's Subtlety, and enters the Seven-Phase Flash mode.

Hold:

Skirk gains 45 stacks of Serpent's Subtlety and engages in continuous, swift movement, during which Skirk's resistance to interruption is increased.

During this time, Skirk can control this rapid movement and move on water,she also can end it by using this Skill again.

Elemental Burst -- Foul Art: Ruin

Skirk's Elemental Burst is not reliant on Energy, but instead, on Serpent's Subtlety.

When Skirk has at least 50 stacks of Serpent's Subtlety, Skirk can use Elemental Burst, consuming all Serpent's Subtlety stacks, ripping apart the space in front of her and dealing consecutive slashes of Cryo AoE DMG.

The DMG dealt by this Elemental Burst is increased based on the Serpent's Subtlety stacks over 50 when casting this skill. A maximum of 12 stacks can be counted.

When Skirk is under the Seven-Phase Flash mode, Elemental Burst Foul Art: Ruin is replaced by Foul Art: Decimate.

Elemental Burst -- Foul Art: Decimate

A special Elemental Burst that does not consume Serpent's Subtlety.

After casting this skill, Skirk gains Withering, lasting until Seven-Phase Flash ends. After unlocking the Talent Reason Beyond Reason, Skirk can also absorb nearby Void Rifts.

During Withering, every 0.1s, when Skirk's Normal Attack hits an enemy, the DMG dealt by this Normal Attack is increased. If Void Rifts are absorbed when casting Foul Art: Decimate, the DMG dealt by this Normal Attack is further increased based on the number of Void Rifts absorbed. This can trigger max 10 times.

Passive Talent -- Giver of Weaponry

When all party members are Hydro or Cryo, and there is at least 1 Hydro and 1 Cryo party member, all party members' Elemental Skill level increases by 1.

Ascension Talent -- Return to Oblivion

When nearby Hydro party members deal Hydro DMG, or when nearby other Cryo party members deal Cryo DMG, Skirk gains 1 stack of Death's Crossing, lasting 20s, max 3 stacks. Each stack is counted independently. Each party member can only grant Skirk 1 stack of Death's Crossing.

When Skirk has Death's Crossing stacks, Normal Attacks under the Seven-Phase Flash mode will deal 110% / 120% / 170% of the original DMG, and Elemental Burst Foul Art: Ruin will deal 105% / 115% / 160% of the original DMG.

Ascension Talent -- Reason Beyond Reason

When nearby party members trigger Frozen, Superconduct, Cryo Swirl, or Cryo Crystallize reactions against opponents, a Void Rift will be created near this opponent. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s. At most 3 Void Rifts created by Skirk herself can exist on the field at once.
Skirk will absorb nearby Void Rifts via the following:

• Hitting an opponent with Charged Attack under the Seven-Phase Flash mode;
• Casting the special Elemental Burst Foul Art: Decimate under the Seven-Phase Flash mode;
• Moving swiftly during the Hold mode of Elemental Skill Foul Art: Flash.

Each Rift absorbed will grant her 8 Serpent's Subtlety stacks.

 

Additional Info

• Best team comps: Skirk + Escoffier+ Furina + Yelan or Shenhe
• She persisrs off-field, but still decays over time even when she's not active

Base ATK: 674 | CRIT Rate: 22.1%

Skirk's weapon boosts both ATK and CRIT DMG.

Skirk Artifact Set

2-Pc: Cryo DMG Bonus +15%

4-Pc: When you have 0 Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 40% and Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 40%. After dealing one of these kinds of DMG, the effect corresponding to the other kind will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.

 

Skirk Constellation

Constellation 1: The Talent Reason Beyond Reason is enhanced: After absorbing Void Rifts, will summon a crystal blade, dealing Cryo AoE DMG equal to 500% of Skirk's ATK. This DMG is considered Charged Attack DMG.

 (Note: This effect is removed immediately if Skirk exits the Seven-Phases Flash mode.)

Constellation 3: Elemental Burst Level +3

Constellation 4: Death's Crossing stacks increase Skirk's ATK by 10% / 20% / 50%.

Constellation 5: Elemental Skill Level +3

Constellation 6: Whenever Skirk absorbs a Void Rift, she gains 1 stack of Foul Art: Slash (lasting 15 seconds, max 3 stacks). Each stack’s duration is tracked independently.While in Seven-Phase Flash mode, consuming these stacks allows Skirk to unleash coordinated attacks and reduces damage taken during the stance.

 

Foul Art: Slash

• When casting Elemental Burst Foul Art: Ruin, consumes all Foul Art: Slash stacks to perform extra attacks. Each stack consumed deals Cryo DMG equal to 600% of Skirk's ATK. This is considered as Elemental Burst DMG.
• Under the Seven-Phase Flash mode, when Skirk's 3rd or 5th Normal Attack hits an opponent, will consume 1 Foul Art: Slash stack to perform 3 extra attackss, each dealing Cryo DMG equal to 150% of Skirk's ATK. This is considered as Normal Attack DMG.
• Under the Seven-Phase Flash mode, when Skirk takes DMG, will consume 1 Foul Art: Slash stack to decrease DMG taken in this hit by 80%, and perform 3 extra attacks, each dealing Cryo DMG equal to 150% of Skirk's ATK. This is considered as Charged Attack DMG.
