Summary

• Skirk is expected in Version 5.7 as a high-cost character needing a Hydro and Cryo team.
• The forthcoming endgame feature will introduce a six-floor boss gauntlet, requiring multiple teams due to the bosses’ massive HP.
• Skirk will synergize well with characters like Furina and Escoffier, reinforcing her unique place in Freeze strategies.

Recent leaks about Genshin Impact offer insights into Skirk’s mechanics and the operations of a new endgame mode. In Version 5.5, players enjoyed the release of Natlan’s second map expansion, featuring two new characters along with the completion of its reputation system. The game’s development for the Pyro Nation is nearing completion, with Mare Jivari remaining as the last addition.

Version 5.6 will shift the narrative back to Mondstadt, showcasing key figures such as Varka, Durin, and the Hexenzirkel, and will introduce Escoffier alongside Skirk. Players are encouraged, though it comes with the challenge of character acquisition, as these prominent characters are 5-Star, necessitating an average of 280 pulls for optimal team builds. The new mode is anticipated to launch on June 18, 2025, leading to speculation on character investments and team capabilities.
