Skirk kit
As a playable character, Skirk is a 5-star Cryo Sword character.
Basic Attack - Havoc: Sunder
This is a usual basic attack Talent. Her Charged Attack has her hurl a spear forward.
Elemental Skill - Havoc: Warp
Skirk imitates the combat style of “The Foul.” This skill has different effects on Tap and Hold. On either cast, she will gain Serpent’s Subtlety.
Switch to the Seven-Phase Flash mode.
Hold
Continuously move at a high speed and increase her interruption resistance. Recast to end rapid movement.

Elemental Burst - Havoc: Ruin
This Elemental Burst does not rely on Energy, but instead on Serpent’s Subtlety.
When Skirk has enough Serpent’s Subtlety, she expends all of them to unleash her Elemental Burst, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. Any Serpent’s Subtlety past the minimum needed to cast will also be expended to increase the damage dealt, but this is capped.

Elemental Burst - Havoc: Extinction
This can be cast if Skirk is in the Seven-Phase Slash state and does not consume Serpent’s Subtlety. She will gain the “All Shall Wither” effect as long as she is in Seven-Phase Slash.
Skirk Passive Talents
Mutual Weapons Mentorship
When the party is composed of only Hydro and Cryo characters, and there is at least one Hydro and one Cryo character, increase all members' Elemental Skill level by 1.
Reason Beyond Reason
A Void Rift will be created near an opponent when Frozen, Superconduct, Cryo Swirl, or Cryo Crystallize is triggered against them by any party member. This has a short cooldown, and there is a maximum count of how many Void Rifts can exist on the field at once.
Each absorbed Void Rift also grants Serpent’s Subtlety points.
Return to Oblivion
When Hydro party members deal Hydro DMG or when Cryo party members, apart from Skirk, deal Cryo DMG, she gains a “Death’s Crossing” stack. Each character can only grant one stack, effectively capping this at three stacks.
Each stack increases the damage dealt by Skirk’s Normal Attack while in Seven-Phase Flash and Elemental Burst - Havoc: Ruin.
