CD15s

Skirk’s Elemental Burst is not reliant on Elemental Energy but instead on Serpent’s Subtlety.
When Skirk has at least 50 Serpent’s Subtlety, she can expend all her Serpent’s Subtlety to unleash her Elemental Burst, ripping the space before her apart and using rapid consecutive slashes that deal AoE Cryo DMG. At the same time, the DMG dealt by an instance of this Elemental Burst can be increased by every point of Serpent’s Subtlety over 50 when it is unleashed. Up to 12 points can be counted for this purpose.

When Skirk is in the Seven-Phase Slash mode, Havoc: Ruin will be replaced by Havoc: Extinction.

Havoc: Extinction

A special Elemental Burst that can be used even without consuming Serpent’s Subtlety.
After using it, Skirk will gain the “All Shall Wither” effect, which will last until Seven-Phase Flash ends. After unlocking the Passive Talent Reason Beyond Reason, she can also absorb nearby Void Rifts.
While “All Shall Wither” is active, every 0.1s, after Skirk’s Normal Attack hits an opponent, that Normal Attack will deal increased DMG. If she absorbed any Void Rifts while using Havoc: Extinction, this Normal Attack’s DMG will be further increased based on the number of Rifts absorbed.
This effect will be canceled when it has triggered 10 times.

Skirk — Reason Beyond Reason

Reason Beyond Reason

Utility Passive

When nearby party members trigger Frozen, Superconduct, Stellar-Conduct, Cryo Swirl, Stellar 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. 3 Void Rifts created by Skirk herself can exist on the field at once.

Skirk can use the following methods to absorb nearby Void Rifts:
· When she hits an opponent with a Charged Attack in her Seven-Phase Flash mode.
· When she uses the special Elemental Burst Havoc: Extinction while in Seven-Phase Flash mode.
· When she Holds her Elemental Skill Havoc: Warp to engage in rapid movement.

Each Rift absorbed will grant her 8 Serpent’s Subtlety points.

Each character can grant Skirk at most 1 “Death’s Crossing” stack by this means.
Each “Death’s Crossing” stack increases the Normal Attack DMG dealt by Skirk in Seven-Phase Flash mode to 110%/120%/170% of its original DMG and the DMG dealt when using her Elemental Burst Havoc: Ruin to 105%/115%/160% of its original DMG.

What are the best Skirk teams?

Top & Best Skirk Team

Skirk Best Team

Skirk is a DPS in the team. Skirk Fast-Swap DPS build is used.

Main DPS

Skirk

Element Cryo

Skirk’s Elemental Burst does not consume Elemental Energy but instead uses Serpent’s Subtlety. The Elemental Burst’s damage is increased when Serpent’s Subtlety exceeds 50.
Serpent’s Subtlety can be obtained through her Elemental Skill or by absorbing Void Rifts, which are generated when allies trigger Cryo-related reactions.

Skirk can use her skill to switch to Seven-Phase Flash mode. During this mode, her Normal Attacks are infused with the Cryo element and deal increased damage. Her Elemental Burst is also enhanced. When Skirk uses the enhanced Elemental Burst, her Normal Attack damage is further increased, and she absorbs nearby Void Rifts.

Support

Mona

Genshin Hydro

Mona’s Elemental Burst can provide DMG increase, and she attaches Hydro element to enemies with aid of Venti.

Support/Healer

Escoffier

Element Cryo

Escoffier summons a small “Cooking Mek” that follows the active character and shoots Frosty Parfaits at enemies. Her Burst hits a wide area with Cryo damage and heals the team. Both her Skill and Burst lower enemies’ Cryo or Hydro resistance, and the amount lowered increases based on number of Cryo and Hydro characters in the party.

Sub DPS

Furina

Genshin Hydro

Furina’s Elemental Burst can provide DMG increase based on the change of HP of Furina’s allies. This can be achieved as Fruina’s Elemental Skill can burn allies HP and the HP lost is restored by Healer
