Genshin Impact Skirk: Talent and Passives Leaked
Skirk’s initial kit leaks have started appearing on Reddit from several different leakers. It reveals her as a main DPS who deals increased damage based on the Cryo or Hydro characters in a team.
Based on leaks, it’s clear that Skirk will be best in Freeze teams. However, her initial kit leaks also hint at Superconduct teams, known to be one of the worst elemental reactions in Genshin Impact. Here is a quick overview of Skirk’s kit in Genshin Impact leaked so far:
- Elemental Skill: Grants a special energy bar that enhances Skirk’s Normal Attacks and makes her swap to a new combat stance.
- Elemental Burst: Consumes all of her special energy and deals a ton of damage in a burst animation. When allies hit enemies, a sphere is dropped (max 3) with a cooldown.
- Passive 1: When nearby party members trigger Frozen, Superconduct, Cryo Swirl, or Cryo Crystallize reactions against opponents, a Void Rift will be created near the opponent. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5 seconds. 3 Void Rifts created by Skirk can exist on the field at once. When Skirk hits an opponent with a Charged Attack in her Seven-Phase Flash mode, she will absorb the Void Rifts around her in a fixed AoE. Each Rift absorbed will grant her 8 Serpent’s Subtlety stacks.
- Passive 2: When allies in the party deal Hydro or Cryo damage to enemies, Skirk receives one stack of Styxian Crevice, which can stack up to 3 times, lasting for 18 seconds. This effect boosts her Normal Attack and Burst Damage by a percentage based on the number of Cryo and Hydro Genshin Impact characters in the team. Each ally can only provide 1 “Fallen Grace” stack, and stacks from different characters are independent.
Genshin Impact Skirk: Signature Weapon Leaked
Skirk’s signature weapon also leaked recently, and it is expected to be a 5-star Sword with a Crit Rate Bonus stat. Here is everything we currently know about Skirk’s signature weapon:
- Name: NA
- Rarity: 5-star
- Weapon Type: Sword
- Base Attack: 608
- Bonus Stat: 33.1% Crit Rate
- Effect: NA
Genshin Impact Skirk Constellation Leaked
Some of Skirk’s constellations have also been leaked recently through Reddit. We only have initial information on the C1 and C2 of Skirk’s kit. Her Constellations would likely change completely over the course of time up to her release, which we will update here:
- C1: Charged attacks that are used to collect the Spheres now deal additional AoE damage
- C2: Increases the special energy gained from Skirk’s elemental Skill and enhances her Normal Attack damage by a specific percentage
So, that’s everything we know about Skirk’s kit in Genshin Impact through trustworthy leaks right now. Her kit is only in the earliest of stages, so it will likely go through some iterations ahead of the official release. However, we can be sure that Skirk is going to be a Cryo character who works best on Freeze teams and gets a buff based on Hydro and Cryo allies. Did we miss any recent leaks for Skirk?
