Genshin Skirk Build Guide

Skirk is the newest character to be added in Genshin Impact’s 5.7 update. The Genshin Skirk leaks revealed a lot about her powerful kit and abilities, and players have long awaited her arrival! However, many may not know about the best builds to have with her, so here’s a detailed overview of the best weapons, artifacts, and teams for Genshin Skirk! We’ll even gloss over Genshin Impact Skirk’s base and upgraded stats for those unaware.

Skirk Genshin Impact’s Stats, Strengths, & Weaknesses

Since Skirk is a newer character, not as many players may be aware of her kit and stats. Skirk is a 5-star Cryo sword user with an emphasis on her Freeze abilities. She is an on-field Main DPS character, as her elemental skill Seven-Phase Flash mode dramatically increases her speed and resistance to interruption. She will also gain Serpent’s Subtlety points, which fuel her elemental burst. Her bursts not only launch crazy amounts of Cryo AOE (Area of Effect) damage, but also create Void Rifts to build up more Serpent’s Subtlety points. 

Below are Genshin Skirk’s base and max upgraded stats:

Skirk Genshin Impact’s Strengths

Despite Skirk build Genshin being so strong base-wise, she is surprisingly easy to pick up and play. This is mainly thanks to her built-in interruption resistance and her very fluid combat style and elemental skills. Speaking of said skills, Genshin Skirk’s elemental skills can last for quite a while thanks to her Void Rifts that she deploys. Skirk overall is very versatile as a Main DPS with both her strong Normal Attacks and AOE bursts.

Genshin Impact Skirk’s Weaknesses

Genshin Impact Skirk build thankfully doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses. However, she unfortunately primarily shines in Freeze-based teams. Otherwise, her passives and abilities are a bit restricted, so you won’t be playing to her full potential. This makes creating the perfect team revolving around her more critical than for other DPS characters.
