Since she needs Hydro and Cryo characters in her team, Skirk teams might face some limitations inGenshin Impact. On the other hand, there are a lot of Cryo and Hydro units that can join Skirk teams. So, here’s a list of thebest teams for Skirk inGenshin Impact.
The teams listed below are not in any particular order.
1Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Ayato
Ayato’sElemental Burst inGenshin Impactcontinuously applies Hydro in a large area, even when he’s off-field. Not only that, but Ayato’s garden of purity increases Skirk’s Normal Attack DMG by 20% with a near 100% uptime, which is more than enough when considering the team’s rotation.Furinaalso helps with the Hydro application while she’s notably buffing the entire team’s DMG.
Of course, to pull Furina’s buff, players need a healer in this Skirk team, which isEscoffier. She’s not only a sufficient healer who quickly meets Furina’s requirements, butEscoffier also greatly reduces enemies’ resistanceto Hydro and Cryo while dealing a lot of off-field Cryo DMG.
Players can also replace Ayato withShenheto team three strong Supports with Skirk, orMonato hold Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. EvenMualanican help Skirk if she holds the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact. Basically, the fourth slot is flexible; as long as the team has only Cryo and Hydro buffers and debuffers, it will maximize Skirk’s buffs from her kit and allow her to deal maximum DMG.
Team Roles
2Skirk + Citlali + Shenhe + Yelan
To add more variety and showcase how easy it is to build a Skirk team inGenshin Impact, this team will have three different Hydro and Cryo characters. In this team, Skirk’s Normal Attacks also triggerYelan’s coordinated Hydro Attacks, which create an endless amount of Frozen reactions. AlthoughYelan is the only Hydro unit, she’s more than capable of fulfilling her role as a Hydro Enabler.Citlaliutilizes her strong Cryo application to trigger more Frozen reactions while shredding enemies’ resistance to Yelan’s Hydro. As forShenhe, she operates as a buffer for Skirk’s Cryo DMG while further reducing enemies' resistance to Cryo.
All in all, as long as there are Cryo and Hydro characters dealing off-field DMG and offering decent buffs and debuffs, Skirk teams will always shine inGenshin Impact.
3Skirk + Escoffier + Furina + Kazuha
Skirk operates at her best when she’s teaming with Hydro andCryo characters inGenshin Impact. That gives players a lot of freedom when building Skirk’s team, as there are a lot of useful characters that can join her team. At the same time, it also restricts Skirk from teaming with other elements since it’s not easy to compensate for the DMG loss.
The only charactersoutside Hydro and Cryothat can effectively team up with Skirk inGenshin ImpactareKazuhaandXilonen, since their buffs and debuffs are universally useful. Kazuha giving Skirk ~40% extra Cryo DMG alongside shredding enemies' resistance to Cryo DMG by 40% is worth it.
On the other hand, team Skirk withEscoffierandFurinato maximize the buffs and debuffs Skirk can get from this team. Kazuha also has good Crowd Control, where he’ll collect enemies in one spot to make the most of Skirk’s Normal Attacks.
4Skirk + Nahida + Shenhe + Thoma
Skirk works best with Frozen reactions, but she can still work inMelt teams inGenshin Impact, although it’s more of a fun comp sinceMelt is not included in her A1. The idea is to add one Dendro and one Pyro character to Skirk’s team so they can trigger the Burning reaction. The reaction will continuously apply Pyro on enemies as Skirk consumes them to trigger Melt, greatly increasing her DPS.
First, Skirk needs a strong Dendro Enabler likeNahidaorEmilieinGenshin Impact. After that, adding a decent Pyro Enabler completes the task and sets the field ready for Skirk to dominate it. The downside to this Skirk team comp is the massive DMG buff Skirk loses when her team isn’t fully made of Cryo and Hydro units.
5Skirk + Xingqiu + Dahlia + Layla
For an F2P Skirk team inGenshin Impact, team Skirk withXingqiuto allow both to continuously apply their elements when she’s attacking. BothDahliaandLaylaoperate as shielders with a small buff to Skirk’s DPS. Dahlia increases Skirk’s Attack SPD, which notably improves her Normal Attacks. As forLayla inGenshin Impact, her fourth Constellation increases Skirk’s Normal Attack DMG based on her Max HP. Although this Skirk team is not comparable to the previous ones, it’s still a sufficient team that can get the job done.
