Genshin Impact Skirk kit leaked: Skills, talents, and Constellations

Skirk is an upcoming playable character in Genshin Impact and is expected to be released in version 5.7. As her potential release window gets closer, new leaks are surfacing online, sharing info on her kit—including her skills, talents, and Constellations.

This article briefly discusses all of Skirk’s abilities in Genshin Impact.

Skirk kit in Genshin Impact leaked

Skirk is one of the characters in the silhouettes shown during the version 5.3 livestream. She is expected to be released in version 5.7 as a Cryo character.

According to the leaks via Kokomi (HomDGRat) and reshared by Seele, Skirk is likely to be a Sword user. This shouldn’t be surprising since she is usually referred to as the “mysterious swordswoman” and Childe’s master in the game. The leaker also claims that Skirk is a pure main DPS unit that scales with ATK.

Next, let’s take a look at Skirk’s abilities, as per the info shared by Kokomi and Seele:

Elemental Skill

Upon casting Elemental Skill, Skirk gains a special energy bar. In addition, she switches to a new combat stance, and her Normal Attacks are enhanced.

Elemental Burst

Casting Elemental Burst consumes all the special Energy and deals multiple instances of Cryo damage, similar to Keqing’s burst animation. When the party members hit the enemies, they drop a “sphere” (max 3). Upon using Charged Attack, Skirk can absorb these spheres and restore the special energy.

Talents

Listed below are Skirk’s potential talents in Genshin Impact:

• When party members deal Hydro or Cryo DMG to enemies, Skirk gains a stacking effect, max 3 stacks. This effect boosts her Normal Attack and Elemental Burst DMG.
• Each character on the team can only provide 1 stack. Furthermore, stacks from different characters are counted independently.

Considering Skirk’s talent relies on Cryo and Hydro DMG, having more characters from these elements in the team will likely boost her damage.

Constellations

Here are some of Skirk’s Constellations:

• C1: Charged Attacks that collect spheres after Elemental Burst deal additional AoE DMG.
• C2: Increases the special energy gained from Elemental Skill. Additionally, the Normal Attack DMG bonus is increased.

Based on Skirk’s leaked kit, it is safe to say that she relies on her Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst to deal DMG. Furthermore, unlike other characters in the game, her Elemental Burst depends on her special energy bar instead of the regular Elemental Energy.

This also makes sense since the new Finale of the Deep Galleries artifact set is expected to be Skirk’s best-in-slot set, and the equipping unit must have 0 Elemental Energy to trigger all the bonus effects.

Since Skirk’s abilities are only based on leaks, it is subject to change. You will have to wait a little longer for more in-depth info.
