Skirk will release in Genshin Impact 5.7

Genshin Impact developers have finally confirmed that Skirk will be released as a playable character in version 5.7. She is a new Cryo character, which shouldn’t come as a surprise if you’ve been following the latest leaks. Skirk also had a slight model update, which some may or may not like because most of the black clothing around her upper chest was removed.

The drip marketing post also features a small exchange between Vedrfolnir “The Visionary” and Surtalogi “The Foul.” The former states:

“Sin infests the firmament, calamity unfurls across the universe. You are free, and none now may proscribe you — yet your destiny remains bound to that of this world. Indeed, you shall send your disciple here in the near future.”

To which Surtalogi replies:

“What? Me, a student? Such misfortune — for them, I mean… whenever they show up.”

This conversation seems to have happened before Surtalogi accepted Skirk as their student. “The Visionary” mentions that despite being free, Surtalogi’s destiny is still bound to their world, and he will send his disciple here in the future. Interestingly, “The Foul” looks surprised about taking in a disciple but also considers this a misfortune for the student.

Hopefully, we will learn more about Skirk and her master in the upcoming update.

Skirk rarity, weapon type, and playstyle

The latest beta leaks suggest that Skirk will be a 5-star unit, and her weapon type is a Sword. Moreover, she can be seen holding a sword in her character card, so it seems like the most obvious option.. Furthermore, Skirk is hinted to be a main DPS unit that relies on her enhanced Normal Attacks and Elemental Burst to deal damage.
