Best Genshin Impact Skirk Build Guide 2025

Best Genshin Impact Skirk Build Guide 2025 – Prontt.com, Skirk is a unique 5-star Cryo Sword character in Genshin Impact. Like Mavuika, his Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy, but instead uses a special resource called Serpent’s Subtlety. This makes him a character with a different mechanism than most other DPS characters.

Skirk has two main playstyles:

1. Normal Attack Focus  — By pressing Elemental Skill, Skirk enters  Seven-Phase Flash mode , allowing normal attacks to be strengthened by consuming Serpent’s Subtlety.

2. Focus Burst  — Skirk can use all stacks  of Serpent’s Subtlety  to launch  Elemental Burst: Havoc: Ruin . The more stacks used, the greater the damage.

Skill Skirk Level Priority Order

Skirk has three main skills:

• Normal Attack: Havoc: Sunder

• Elemental Skill: Havoc: Warp

• Elemental Burst: Havoc: Ruin

Recommended skill upgrade order:

1. Elemental Skill  – Top priority as it significantly increases DPS output while the Skirk is in Seven-Phase Flash mode.

2. Elemental Burst  – Deals massive burst damage based on the number of stacks.

3. Normal Attack  – Can be upgraded later if you have more resources.

Tips:  Make sure  the passive talent  is open first so that Seven-Phase Flash mode can be activated.
