What New Characters Will Genshin Impact Version 5.7 Bring? - Skirk Preview
Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game in 2020. The story revolves around an interstellar adventurer named Traveler. At the beginning of the game, he and his twin brother were separated on the continent of Teyvat.
Later, accompanied by a guide, Traveler embarked on a journey to the continent of Teyvat to find his lost brother.
Along the way, the two met all kinds of people, got involved in the disputes of various countries, experienced many difficulties and tests, and then gradually unveiled the mystery of this land.
Since the game was first released in 2020, it has received widespread attention and love. At present, after years of precipitation and forging, the game has gained the love of countless fans and players, and has been released on multiple platforms and updated many versions.
New Character
According to reports, Genshin Impact has announced the latest character in version 5.7 - Skirk. At the beginning of the game, there were only 22 characters available for players to choose from. With the influx of many players, new characters have also been added. The problem that comes with it is that it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a fair and balanced banner schedule in the game, which has led to many characters being marginalized.
Genshin Impact released the new Chronicled Banner in version 5.6, which has solved some problems relatively well, but it also has some side effects. That is, the stacking of Event Banners has become more and more serious.
This trend is most obvious with the new character Skirk, because in version 5.7, her best teammates are arranged around her debut banner.
For example, Escoffier is her best healing hero so far, so I recommend Skirk fans to get this famous Fontanian chef in the first half of version 5.6.
Who Is Skirk?
- Name: Skirk
- Title: Void Star
- Rarity: Five Star
- Attribute: Ice
- Weapon: Sword
- Constellation: Crystal
She is the mentor of Childe Tartaglia and has taught him to master the power of Foul Legacy Transformation.
Now, you can also experience her fighting style in the abyss! As a five-star ice elemental one-handed sword character, Skirk has a unique form switching mechanism, suitable for freezing teams and mixed element teams. Her background story is closely related to the abyss, and her skill set is also full of abyss style.
As early as version 1.1, this character was mentioned by his students, but it will officially appear in the upcoming version 5.7. Players will meet Skirk in Archon quest in Fontaine. As a Cryo hypercar, her goal is to become the core of the freezing team.
Skirk Team Comb
Best Combination
- Skirk: Stand on the field ice damage output core.
- Furrina: Stable water hanging triggers freezing, while accelerating Fleuve Cendre Ferryman.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: Maintain the pause state, provide additional damage or treatment.
- Shenhe, Escoffier: Shenhe strengthens ice damage, Escoffier provides good effects according to the skill set.
- Advantage: Freeze and control the enemy throughout the process.
Other Combination
- Skirk: Stand on the field ice damage output core.
- Raiden Shogun/Kuki shinobu: Trigger superconductivity to reduce enemy resistance.
- Furrina: Maintain pause reaction and Fleuve Cendre Ferryman stack.
- Layla/Diona: Shield with additional ice element dressing.
- Advantages: Sacrifice some placement control in exchange for items that resist shearing, suitable for matching physical output or changing the rhythm of battle.
These combinations make Skirk one of the most expensive characters in Genshin Impact. Although expensive, his skill combination is definitely worth the money. What is a good way to get it?
Players can first unlock new characters by completing activities and tasks, or by obtaining Genshin Impact genesis crystals and using them to make wishes to obtain new characters.
Second, the more Primogems a player saves in the game, the greater the chance of getting the best combination. Each Genshin Impact account can only get 115 Intertwined Wishes during this period, which makes Primogems extremely precious.
Therefore, in order to survive Event Banners of Skirk's best lineup, fans should be prepared to spend 540 Intertwined Wishes in the worst case.
It should be noted that the latest version 5.7 is expected to be launched in June 2025. Players do not need to add Skirk's teammates immediately because they can be obtained at any time when replaying.
