Genshin Impact Skirk: Talent and Passives

Skirk’s kit has finally been revealed and it is fairly strong when she is played in a Hydro or Cryo team. Her Ultimate ability doesn’t charge from Elemental Energy by based on Serpent’s Subtlety, which she gains from using her Skill. Let’s take a closer look at Skirk’s kit in Genshin Impact.

• Basic Attack (Havoc: Sunder)
  • Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 consecutive attacks.
  • Charged Attack: Hurls a spinning crystal by consuming a certain amount of Stamina, dealing damage to enemies ahead.
  • Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Damage upon impact.
• Elemental Skill (Havoc: Warp):
  • Tap: Skirk gains 45 Serpent’s Subtlety and switches to Seven-Phase Flash mode.
  • Hold: Skirk continuously moves at high speed and gains 45 Serpent’s Subtlety. She gets a buff to her interruption resistance is increased in this state. During this time, Skirk can control her movement direction and move atop water. She can also use this Skill again to end rapid movement prematurely.
• Elemental Burst (Havoc: Ruin): Skirk recharges her Elemental Burst based on Serpent’s Subtlety and not Elemental Energy. When Skirk has at least 50 Serpent’s Subtlety, she can expand all her Serpent’s Subtlety to unleash her Elemental Burst, ripping the space before her apart and using rapid consecutive slashes, dealing AoE Cryo damage. At the same time, the Damage dealt by an instance of this Elemental Burst will 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 Seven-Phase Flash 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 Damage. If she absorbed any Void Rifts while using Havoc: Extinction, this Normal Attack’s Damage will be further increased based on the number of Rifts absorbed. This effect will be canceled when it has triggered 10 times.
• Passive 1 (Mutual Weapons Mentorship): When all party members are either Hydro or Cryo, and if there is at least 1 Hydro and 1 Cryo character, party members’ Elemental Skill Level is increased by 1.
• Passive 2 (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 2.5 seconds. 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.
• Passive 3 (Return to Oblivion): When nearby Hydro party members’ Hydro attacks hit opponents, or when nearby Cryo party members apart from Skirk hit opponents with Cryo attacks, Skirk will gain the “Death’s Crossing” effect for 20 seconds. Max 3 stacks, each stack’s duration is counted independently. Each character can grant Skirk at most 1 “Death’s Crossing” stack by this means. Each “Death’s Crossing” stack increases the Normal Attack Damage dealt by Skirk in Seven-Phase Flash mode to 110%/120%/170% of its original Damage and the Damage dealt when using her Elemental Burst Havoc: Ruin to 105%/115%/160% of its original Damage.
