Genshin Impact drip marketing: Skirk revealed as the 100th playable character

Skirk is one of the most anticipated playable characters in Genshin Impact since her introduction as Tartaglia's master in Abyss. She proved fearless and very powerful. Her leaked kit might be proof of that.

Abyss was all she knew. Skirk the Void Star was once a girl plucked from the hands of fate by one who rejected destiny. She grew to embody the same defiant spirit, saving a child ensnared by providence, none other than Tartaglia (Childe). According to the lore, Tartaglia fell into the Abyss as a young boy and encountered Skirk, who became his mentor. She trained him in the art of combat and survival in the abyssal depths.

Skirk's past is a tale of survival and defiance, a testament to the haunting truth that venturing into the abyss is much like reaching for the stars.

Skirk is from the cryo element and possibly the next meta of cryo hyper carry characters. She will be a sword user. You can already start to pre-farm for her ascension materials. Note that the guide below sources from unofficial information and is subject to change.

Skirk appeared for the first time a year ago, and fans are very excited to see her as a playable character. Our Abyss master is coming to Genshin Impact on version 5.7, which is expected to drop on June 18, 2025. If you want to have her, you still have around a month to farm her materials as well as gather primogems with the events available until the end of the version.

There is still no information about which characters will come with Skirk's banner. We will have to wait for the next official live stream. Counting the Traveler and excluding their different element forms, Skirk will be the 100th playable character in Genshin Impact.

That's all for now. Stick around for more Genshin Impact news, guides, and updates on esports.gg.
