Skirk is a playable Sword user in Genshin Impact. She needs Swords that buff her Normal ATK DMG and Crit value. This list will rank the best weapons for Skirk in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Tier List
Here's a Genshin Impact tier list to help players see who's in the meta and who isn't.
8 Sturdy Bone
|
Primary Stat |
565 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
27.6% ATK |
|
R5 Effect |
Sprint or Alternate Sprint Stamina Consumption decreased by 15%. Additionally, after using Sprint or Alternate Sprint, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 32% of ATK. This effect expires after triggering 18 times or 7s. |
Starting from Sturdy Bone, Skirk can use the 4-star’s high Base ATK and ATK% Sub-stat. The weapon also increases her Normal Attack DMG when she sprints. It’s a good choice, but it doesn’t come close to other options since it doesn’t offer more than that.
7 Absolution
|
Primary Stat |
674 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
44.1% Crit DMG |
|
Effect |
CRIT DMG increased by 20%. Increasing the value of a Bond of Life increases the DMG the equipping character deals by 16% for 6s. Max 3 stacks. |
Absolution is a good 5-star choice for Skirk since it offers a high amount of Crit DMG alongside a really high Base ATK. However, she doesn’t benefit from the rest of the effects, which lowers Absolution’s ranking among Skirk’s best weapons in Genshin Impact.
6 Primordial Jade Cutter
|
Primary Stat |
542 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
44.1% Crit Rate |
|
Effect |
HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% of the wielder's Max HP. |
Primordial Jade Cutter grants Skirk a massive Crit Rate upgrade, but that’s where the benefits stop. Primordial’s Base ATK is low for a 5-star weapon, on top of having a passive that barely increases Skirk’s ATK%.
Ineffa Team Composition Guide In Genshin Impact
Ineffa provides damage bonuses for Lunar-Charged reaction in Genshin Impact, so including Hydro characters in Ineffa team comps is highly recommended.
While Primordial Jade Cutter is not an ideal option for Skirk, it’s a solid choice if players don’t have any of Skirk’s best weapons in Genshin Impact.
5 Calamity of Eshu
|
Primary Stat |
565 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
27.6% ATK |
|
R5 Effect |
While characters are protected by a Shield, DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks is increased by 40%, and Normal and Charged Attack CRIT Rate is increased by 16%. |
Calamity of Eshu is almost a perfect 4-star weapon for Skirk in Genshin Impact. The weapon offers a lot of benefits for Skirk, such as increasing Skirk’s ATK% while having a high Base ATK for a 4-star Sword. Not only that, but Skirk also gets up to 16% Crit Rate and 40% DMG increase on her Normal Attacks from Calamity’s passive, which is a lot for a 4-star. The only downside is that players need to pair Skirk with a shielder in Genshin Impact.
4 The Black Sword
|
Primary Stat |
510 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
27.6% Crit Rate |
|
R5 Effect |
Increases DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks by 40%. Additionally, regenerates 100% of ATK as HP when Normal and Charged Attacks score a CRIT Hit. This effect can occur once every 5s. |
When talking about the best 4-star weapon for Skirk in Genshin Impact, The Black Sword is the one. Unfortunately, it’s not an F2P weapon for Skirk as it’s in the battle pass. The Black Sword grants Skirk a decent Base ATK with a Crit Rate Sub-stat, alongside a buff to Skirk’s Normal Attack DMG.
3 Mistsplitter Reforged
|
Primary Stat |
674 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
44.1% Crit DMG |
|
Effect |
Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for all elements and receive the might of the Mistsplitter's Emblem. At stack levels 1/2/3, Mistsplitter's Emblem provides a 8/16/28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the character's Elemental Type. The character will obtain 1 stack of Mistsplitter's Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal Attack deals Elemental DMG (stack lasts 5s), casting Elemental Burst (stack lasts 10s); Energy is less than 100% (stack disappears when Energy is full). Each stack's duration is calculated independently. |
Mistsplitter Reforged is another good 5-star Sword for Skirk in Genshin Impact. The weapon massively increases Skirk’s Elemental DMG, which is what she will deal when she uses her Normal Attacks. It also buffs her Crit DMG while having a higher Base ATK than most 5-star weapons in Genshin Impact.
Ineffa Build In Genshin Impact
Ineffa may look like a support, but her Genshin Impact build is so offensive that she could be a main DPS, if not for her poor Normal Attack scalings.
Considering Skirk will replace Ayaka in every Morgana team in Genshin Impact, it only makes sense to steal her Signature weapon too.
2 Haran Geppaku Futsu
|
Primary Stat |
608 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
33.1% Crit Rate |
|
Effect |
Obtain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. When other nearby party members use Elemental Skills, the character equipping this weapon will gain 1 Wavespike stack. Max 2 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the character equipping this weapon uses an Elemental Skill, all stacks of Wavespike will be consumed to gain Rippling Upheaval: each stack of Wavespike consumed will increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 8s. |
Skirk doesn’t only use Ayaka’s Signature weapon; she can also use Ayato’s Signature weapon, Haran Geppaku Futsu. Having access to this amount of Crit Rate Sub-stat and a decent Base ATK is good enough for Skirk’s gameplay. On the other hand, Skirk will get extra Elemental DMG and Normal Attack DMG when she uses Haran Geppaku Futsu. It’s a decent amount that makes Ayato’s Signature weapon one of the best Swords for Skirk in Genshin Impact.
1 Azurelight
|
Primary Stat |
674 Base ATK |
|---|---|
|
Secondary Stat |
22.1% Crit Rate |
|
Effect |
Within 12s after an Elemental Skill is used, ATK is increased by 24%. During this time, when the equipping character has 0 Energy, ATK will be further increased by 24%, and CRIT DMG will be increased by 40%. |
When it comes to Skirk’s best weapon, Azurelight is easily her best Sword in Genshin Impact. Just like most offensive Swords on this list, Skirk gets a good amount of Base ATK and Crit Rate from Azurelight’s stats. In addition to that, Azurelight greatly buffs Skirk’s ATK% and Crit DMG, which is exactly what she needs to dominate every combat with her DPS.
