Skirk, Childe’s master, is a playable Cryo-Sword character inGenshin Impact. Here’sSkirk’s best build, including her best weapons and artifact sets inGenshin Impact.
Skirk Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
When building Skirk inGenshin Impact, the best artifact set for her is theFinale of the Deep Galleriesset. Most of Skirk’s DMG comes from her Elemental Burst and Normal Attack, which explains why Finale of the Deep Galleries works best with her. It raises her Cryo DMG by 15%, in addition to 60%extra Elemental Burstand Normal Attack DMG.
Skirk can work with other artifact sets, likeEchoes of an OfferingandBlizzard Strayer. Echoes of an Offering massively increases her Normal Attack DMG, but doesn’t give her any Elemental Burst DMG. As for Blizzard Strayer, it increases Skirk’s Cryo DMG and Critical Rate in Freeze teams, which is her best team comp. You can also build Skirk withVermillion HereafterorMarechaussee Hunterif Furina is in her team. Both sets grant Skirk ATK% or Crit Rate while she’s losing HP via Furina’s Elemental Skill.All these sets are solid choices for Skirk’s buildinGenshin Impact, butthey don’t come close to how useful the Finale of the Deep Galleries set is for her kit.
Like any classicalDPS inGenshin Impact, Skirk needs ATK% on her Timepiece, Cryo DMG on her Goblet, and Crit DMG on her Circlet. As a Cryo unit, it’s easier to manage Crit Rate on Skirk, so it’s always better to add more Crit DMG when you get a chance.
Skirk Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
The best weapon for Skirk inGenshin Impactis her Signature weapon,Azurelight. After using her Elemental Skill, Skirk will get extra ATK% and Crit DMG bonuses. These buffs greatly increase her value as a main DPS and allow Skirk to shine during combat. The amount of ATK% Skirk gets from her signature weapon complements the high Base ATK Azurelight has. Additionally, Azurelight also has a decent Crit Rate Sub-stat, which serves Skirk’s build by increasing her Crit value.
Skirk also works withAyato’s best weapon inGenshin Impact,Haran Geppaku Futsu. The 5-star Sword grants Skirk Crit Rate Sub-stat in addition to an extra Elemental DMG and Normal Attack DMG when she casts her Elemental Skill. It’s a very close weapon to Azurelight that can work with Skirk’s build inGenshin Impact.
As for the rest of the 5-star weapons, build Skirk withMistsplitter Reforged,Absolution, orPrimordial Jade Cutter. They’re not a perfect option, but each one of these weapons slightly improves Skirk’s gameplay. The best one among them is Mistsplitter Reforged, as it grants Skirk a high Base ATK, Crit DMG, and Elemental DMG bonus.Absolution also has a high Base ATKand notably increases Skirk’s Crit DMG through its Sub-stat and passive, but she doesn’t synergize with the rest of its effects. As for Primordial Jade Cutter, while it greatly adds to Skirk’s Crit Rate, it suffers from a low Base ATK, which is not good for her.
For 4-star weapons for Skirk inGenshin Impact, build Skirk withThe Black Sword. It provides a decent Base ATK for a 4-star Sword, Crit Rate sub-stat, and a Normal ATK buff from its passive. Skirk can really use it effectively and can perform better than some 5-star options.Calamity of Eshualso works well as long as Skirk isprotected by a shield inGenshin Impact. That means only give her the 4-star weapon if there’s a shielder in the team.
