Summary
AGenshin Impactleak has brought bad news for all players who want to pull for the upcoming five-star character Skirk.Genshin Impact’s official social media accounts have already confirmed the arrival of the long-awaited Cryo sword user, Skirk, who is expected to join the roster in update 5.7.
Skirk won’t be the only addition to the roster, as HoYoverse has also confirmed the inclusion of a new four-star character, Dahlia. Both characters have already made appearances inGenshin Impact’s main storyline, which generated a lot of hype around their potential release.
Before a new update character arrives,Genshin Impacttypically makes numerous tweaks during the beta phase to prepare them for their official launch. This is one of the reasons why HoYoverse very rarely makes adjustments to characters once they officially join the roster.MostGenshin Impactcharacters rely on Energy Particlesto use their Elemental Burst. However, Skirk is said to be an exception, as she uses a different stacking system that requires players to acquire Serpent’s Subtlety points. A newposton the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed that Skirk won’t be able to carry her Serpent’s Subtlety stacks over to the next chamber, which has caused a lot of frustration in the community. Many players claim that this will significantly hurt her potential in the Spiral Abyss, which is typically the most challenging domain in the game.
Genshin Impact 5.7 Leaks: Skirk Receives Unexpected Nerf
Some comments have pointed out that Mavuika has a similar energy system and is allowed to carry over her points. This change might have been introduced to balance the fact thatGenshin Impactrecently buffed Skirk’s constellations. A number of players have already begun comparing these Skirk nerfs to the infamous Dehya incident, when HoYoverse had to include the long-awaited Pyro user in the Standard Banner due to her underwhelming kit compared to most other five-star units.
Fans have also pointed out that Skirk actually has a much bigger issue than the Serpent’s Subtlety nerfs: her heavyreliance onGenshin Impact’s Escoffier. The game’s recently released Cryo support character will apparently have a huge impact on Skirk’s ability to dish out significant damage. This has not been well received by the community, as it limits the character’s flexibility and players’ creativity when it comes to assembling the best team composition.
However, considering that Skirk’s release is still a couple of weeks away, Travelers hope that HoYoverse will make further adjustments to address some of these issues. As for her exact release date, assuming she arrives in the first banner cycle ofGenshin ImpactVersion 5.7, players can expect Skirk to join the roster on June 17.
