Genshin Impact Skirk leaks continue to surface across various social media platforms ahead of her potential arrival in the Version 5.7 patch update.
While Version 5.7 is still two months away, beta testing for the patch will start relatively soon and will provide a lot more information about Skirk and her potential kit.
However, the current leaks from HomDGRat, also known as Kokomi, and textmap have already given fans a possible glimpse and a rough idea about Skirk’s role as a playable Genshin Impact character.

Latest Genshin Impact Skirk leaks hint at her possible abilities and constellations
The recent Genshin Impact Skirk leaks have given the community a rough outlook at her potential role in a team and the abilities she might have.
She is rumored to be a main DPS that scales off of the Attack stat. Additionally, she uses a Sword in combat.
Skirk’s C1 and C2 constellations have also been leaked, which might give players an understanding of whether to pull for her multiple times or not.
According to the Skirk leaks, her abilities could potentially function as follows:
Elemental Skill (E)
- Casting this ability will give Skirk a unique energy meter called Serpent’s Guile which buff her normal attacks, while transforming to the Sevenfold Flash mode.
Elemental Burst (Q)
- Casting Skirk’s ultimate will consume all Serpent’s Guile and deals damage akin to a Keqing Elemental Burst.
- When the team triggers Cryo Crystallize, Superconduct, Cryo Swirl, or Freeze reactions, a Phantasmal Rift will spawn (a maximum of 3 can exist, with a 2.5 second cooldown). Skirk can use charged attacks to regenerate 8 Serpent’s Guile for each Phantasmal Rift absorbed.
Passive Talent
- When other characters in the team deal Cryo or Hydro damage, Skirk gains a stack of Styx Severance (maximum of 3 stacks that last 18 seconds), which boost her normal attacks by 10%/20%/70% and Elemental Burst damage by 5%/15%/60%
- One character can only provide one Styx Severance stack. Stacks obtained from multiple characters are independent from each other.
Constellations
- C1: Charged attacks that collect Phantasmal Rifts will deal bonus AoE damage.
- C2: Increases the amount of Serpent’s Guile gained from Elemental Skill, and increases normal attack damage.
