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 SeeleLeaks and HomDGCat have already given fans a possible glimpse and a rough idea about Skirk’s role as a playable Genshin Impact character.
Note: Information in this article is based on leaks and should be taken with a grain of salt until official confirmation.
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:
Havoc: Warp (Elemental Skill)
- Press: Gain 45 Serpent’s Subtlety and enter the Seven-Phase Flash mode.
- Hold: Gain 45 Serpent’s Subtlety and enter a rapid movement state, gaining enhanced resistance to interruption.
Serpent’s Subtlety
- When Skirk leaves the field in Seven-Phase Flash mode or when the mode ends, all remaining Serpent’s Subtlety will be removed.
Seven-Phase Flash
Continually consume Serpent’s Subtlety to provide the following effects:
- Increased Normal and Charged Attack range
- Improved resistance to interruption
- Converts Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks to Cryo damage that cannot be overridden by infusion
- Can sprint across water surfaces
Havoc: Ruin (Elemental Burst)
- When having 50 Serpent’s Subtlety, Elemental Burst can be used — dealing AoE Cryo damage.
- For each point of Serpent’s Subtlety beyond 50 consumed during the activation, the damage of the Elemental Burst increases, up to a maximum of 12 additional points.
- When in Seven-Phase Flash Mode, the Elemental Burst is replaced with Havoc: Extinction that does not consume Serpent’s Subtlety. Skirk gains the All Shall Wither effect until Seven-Phase Flash mode ends.
- After unlocking her first passive, Skirk will also absorb all Phantom Rifts with Havoc: Extinction
All Shall Wither
- While active, each Normal Attack that hits an enemy increases its own damage.
- If Phantom Rifts were absorbed during activation, the damage is further enhanced based on the amount of Phantom Rifts absorbed.
- This effect can stack up to 10 times and is removed after reaching maximum stacks.
Passive Talents
Reason Beyond Reason
- When the team triggers Cryo Crystallize, Superconduct, Cryo Swirl, or Freeze reactions, a Phantom Rift will spawn (a maximum of 3 can exist, with a 2.5 second cooldown).
- Skirk can absorb these Phantom Rifts by landing a Charged Attack on an enemy when in Seven-Phase Flash mode, activating the special Elemental Burst or by holding the Elemental Skill.
- Skirk gains 8 Serpent’s Subtlety per Phantom Rift absorbed.
Return to Oblivion
- When other characters in the team deal Cryo or Hydro damage, Skirk gains a stack of Styx Severance (maximum of 3 stacks that last 20 seconds)
- Skirk’s normal attacks are buffed by 110%/120%/170% during her Seven-Phase Flash mode, and Elemental Burst damage by 105%/115%/160%. One character can only provide one Styx Severance stack. Stacks obtained from multiple characters are independent from each other.
Mutual Weapons Mentorship
- When all party members are either Hydro or Cryo characters, all characters have their Elemental Skills increased by one level.
Constellations
- C1: After absorbing a Phantom Rift, Skirk summons a Crystal Blade to damage enemies, dealing Cryo damage equal to 500% of her ATK. This is considered as Charged Attack damage.
- C2: Skirk gains additional 12 Serpent’s Subtlety after using Elemental Skill. Her Elemental Burst is also enhanced — the damage bonus gained based on Serpent’s Subtlety above 50 is now calculated up to an additional 12 points.
- C4: Each stack of Styx Severance increases Skirk’s ATK by an additional 10%/20%/50%
- C6: Each time Skirk absorbs a Phantom Rift, she gains a stack of Havoc: Sever, lasting 15 seconds. Up to 3 stacks of Havoc: Sever can exist at one time, with an independent duration for each.
Havoc: Sever
- When Skirk casts her Elemental Burst, all stacks are consumed to unleash coordinated attacks with each stack dealing Cryo damage equal to 600% of her ATK. This damage is considered as Elemental Burst damage.
- While in Seven-Phase Flash mode, when the third or fifth hit of her Normal Attack hits an enemy, one stack is consumed to perform three coordinated attacks, dealing Cryo damage equal to 150% of her ATK. This damage is considered as Normal Attack damage.
- When Skirk takes damage in Seven-Phase Flash mode, one stack is consumed to reduce that instance of damage by 80%. Three coordinated attacks are also triggered, dealing Cryo damage equal to 150% of her ATK. This damage is considered as Charged Attack damage.
