Genshin Skirk's abilities and backstory revealed in shocking leak

A fresh Genshin Impact leak has dropped thrilling details regarding a highly anticipated character called Skirk. She was initially discussed in Tartaglia's history and briefly appeared in Version 4.2.

Some rumours suggest that Skirk could finally be playable in Version 5.7, and fans can't wait to find out.

The leak states that Skirk will be a Cryo character with strong abilities such as Void Rift and Serpent's Subtlety. Her ability, Reason Beyond Reason, applies a Void Rift when an ally has reactions such as Frozen, Cryo Swirl, or Crystallise.

These rifts can be sucked in by her charged attack to cause AoE damage. She gets stacks of Serpent's Subtlety each time, increasing her strength.

Another skill, Return to Oblivion, is triggered when an ally Cryo or Hydro player inflicts elemental damage. This provides Skirk with a temporary boost to her standard attacks and Elemental Burst, again hinting that she is a Cryo player. T

These skills indicate she will be an excellent support and damage character.

Beside from her skills, Skirk is also bound to the enigmatic Abyss. She taught Tartaglia while he was there and can possibly provide more information on this dark place. She's also connected to Surtalogi, the owner of the All-Devouring Narwhal.
