Developer HoYoverse is back with a new Genshin Impact video dedicated to Skirk, the latest 5-star Cryo Sword damage dealer to join the roster. She makes her debut in the upcoming Version 5.7 alongside the new 4-star, Dahlia.
“Usually, nobody would dare ask Skirk about her daily meditation, and what goes through her mind during these sessions. Perhaps, just like the Abyss, the flow of time in her heart differs from that of the outside world, granting her a solitary, silent perpetuity.”
Skirk, the mysterious swordswoman that wields Abyssal powers masked as Cryo. She is Surtalogi’s disciple and Tartaglia’s master, and the first character that we actually saw crossing the firmament.
She has two distinct playstyles: one relies on enhanced Normal Attacks for sustained damage, while the other uses her Elemental Burst to deal a powerful Cryo AoE attack. Both modes draw on Serpent’s Subtlety, a unique resource generated from Skirk’s Skills and Talents, instead of Elemental Energy.
Skirk also brings valuable synergy to teams with only Hydro and Cryo characters, granting an extra level to their Elemental Skills and a significant damage boost to herself.
