Skirk's signature weapon just got leaked, and it has massive DPS Potential in Genshin Impact 5.7

A fresh Genshin Impact leak has just pulled back the curtain on Skirk’s long-rumored signature weapon, and it’s everything fans were hoping for: powerful, stylish, and perfectly tailored to her high-octane playstyle. With Genshin Impact 5.7 on the horizon, this latest reveal adds even more hype to what’s shaping up to be a loaded update. Let’s break it down.
A Sword That Screams “Main DPS”According to the latest leak, Skirk’s weapon is a five-star sword built to push her damage ceiling through the roof.

Leaked Stats:

• Base ATK: 608
• Sub-Stat: 33.1% CRIT Rate
• Passive Ability: After using an Elemental Skill, the user gains +24% ATK for 12 seconds. If the user has no Elemental Energy, they gain another +24% ATK, and their Ultimate DMG increases by 40%.

It’s clear: this sword isn’t just strong—it’s made to fuel an aggressive, burst-heavy combat style that rewards skill timing and energy management.


How It Fits Skirk’s KitIf leaks are accurate, Skirk’s playstyle is fast, flashy, and unconventional.

• Her Elemental Skill puts her in a Sevenfold Flash state, with both tap and hold mechanics—perfect for burst trades.
• Her Elemental Burst doesn’t use energy but consumes special Serpent’s Cunning stacks, making the sword’s passive bonus (triggered when she has no energy) even more effective.

This synergy confirms what many suspected: Skirk is designed as a Cryo DPS powerhouse, and her weapon only sharpens that edge.
Perfect Pairing: Skirk + Escoffier?Fans are already theorizing about team comps, and Escoffier seems like the perfect partner-in-crime. Both characters are expected to drop in the same patch, and their kits could complement each other in reaction-heavy lineups, especially with Skirk relying heavily on Cryo-based damage bursts.

If you're planning to pull for Skirk, saving Primogems for her sword banner might be just as important.

When Can We Expect Her?While HoYoverse hasn’t officially confirmed anything, credible sources suggest Skirk is set to arrive in mid-June, most likely in the first phase of Version 5.7. Alongside her, a new four-star character named Dahlia from Mondstadt is also expected to debut.
Final ThoughtsSkirk’s signature weapon isn’t just another five-star sword—it’s a core part of what makes her kit tick. From energy-based buffs to CRIT-focused scaling, it’s shaping up to be a must-have for anyone planning to main her. With more leaks likely to surface in the coming weeks, one thing’s for sure: Genshin Impact 5.7 is going to be wild.
