Skirk is a character who uses the power of the Abyss instead of a Vision, characterized by starry sky effects throughout her body. Overall, she exudes an elegant and beautiful atmosphere, giving off a dangerous vibe befitting a master of Childe. Her normal attack motion is unique, slightly floating in the air, and the weapon transforming into a sword shape in the 3rd attack motion is impressive. It goes well with dark backgrounds, especially the background colors of the Spiral Abyss.

Leveling Materials: It is important to farm the Mimetic Plant boss, and the Chess Match new weekly boss subjugation materials, which are the Natlan's Wed/Sat talent materials. Talent Priority: Elemental Skill and Burst are the most important, and Normal Attack is invested in as needed. Elemental Skill (Short Tap/Hold): - When used, gains 45pt of the Serpent's Stratagem gauge, slightly increases resistance to interruption, and changes outfit. - Short Tap: Continuously consumes Serpent's Stratagem, Seven Light Flash mode (grants Ice Infusion, powerful Ice Normal Attacks). - Hold: Charges 45pt of Serpent's Stratagem without consuming it, recovers normal stamina (useful for field exploration). Elemental Burst: Deals a large amount of Ice Elemental damage to surrounding enemies. Passives: - Oblivion of Flow: Gains stacks (up to 3) when attacking with Hydro/Cryo characters in the party, increases Skirk's Ice Normal Attack/Burst damage (Hydro/Cryo party composition is essential). - Truth Beyond Truth: When a party character triggers an Ice-related reaction, creates a Void Rift (up to 3), Skirk recovers Serpent's Stratagem when absorbed. Burst Activation Condition: Requires 50 or more Serpent's Stratagem, requires Void Rift absorption (utilize ally Freeze reactions). Special Burst: Provides a normal attack damage buff without Burst judgment damage.

Gameplay: - Normal Attack One-Trick DPS Time: Operate Skirk after off-field character skills. - Burst and Normal Attack Utilization Cycle: Utilize Chongyun with C1 or higher, or utilize off-field characters with short cooldowns (Ayato, Ayaka, etc.). Recommended Team Compositions: - Replace Chongyun with Shenhe: A method to increase both Burst/Normal Attack damage. - Replace Shenhe with Royal Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers Mona: An extreme damage composition utilizing the entire party's Burst duration.
