Genshin Impact Skirk Ascension & Talents Walkthrough ~ HaploGamingChef

Introduction: Skirk Ascension & Talents Walkthrough

Skirk is one of the most intriguing characters introduced in Genshin Impact, known for her mystique and raw power. To fully unlock her potential in battle, you'll need to gather specific materials for her ascension and talent upgrades. This guide breaks down everything—from where to find Skirk’s ascension items to how to efficiently farm her talent materials. Whether you're preparing her for Spiral Abyss or your main exploration team, this walkthrough ensures you're leveling her efficiently without wasting time or resources.

Skirk’s Role and Gameplay Overview

Skirk functions as a high-damage sub-DPS with unique elemental mechanics. She excels at fast, burst-style combat, allowing you to rotate her in for high-impact damage before switching out. Her elemental abilities scale impressively with talent level, making her an investment-worthy character for long-term builds.

Optimizing her potential requires leveling her talents and ascension stat boosts, both of which involve farming specific in-game materials.

What Materials Are Needed for Skirk’s Ascension?

To ascend Skirk from level 1 to level 90, you'll need a mix of regional specialties, boss drops, elemental gems, and common enemy drops. Here's a quick breakdown of the required categories:

Elemental Gemstones (Aligned with her element)
Local Specialty (region-specific item tied to her lore)
Common Enemy Drops (from daily mobs)
Weekly Boss Drops (mid/high-tier resources)

You’ll collect these across Teyvat, with certain materials locked behind higher World Levels or specific domains.

Where to Find Skirk’s Elemental Gemstones

The type of gemstones required depends on Skirk’s element. If she's Hydro, for instance, you’ll need Varunada Lazurite fragments, chunks, and gemstones.

You can obtain these by defeating Hydro bosses like:

Oceanid
Hydro Hypostasis
Weekly Hydro Shouki no Kami

Using Alchemy benches, you can also convert other elemental stones into the ones needed for her ascension.

How to Collect Skirk’s Regional Specialty

Each character is linked to a region—Skirk’s is likely to be Fontaine. Her ascension item might be a unique flower or crystal found only in this area.

To speed up farming:

Use the Teyvat Interactive Map.
Set up custom pins for material routes.
Collect while doing daily commissions nearby.

Pair your runs with characters that have a passive specialty detection (e.g., Qiqi or Yanfei), to highlight nearby specialties.

Best Routes for Enemy Drop Farming

Skirk needs standard mob materials, such as Slime Condensate, Whopperflower Nectar, or possibly a new drop exclusive to her storyline.

To gather these efficiently:

Use Adventurer’s Handbook > Enemies > Navigate to pinpoint spawns.
Rotate through daily condensed resin runs with a farming party.
Visit high-yield zones like Stormterror’s Lair, Liyue outskirts, and Fontaine’s wilds.

Remember, drops scale with World Level, so optimize your AR progression for better returns.

Farming Talent Books for Skirk

Skirk's talents are leveled up using domain-exclusive talent books that rotate by weekday. Her book series may be from a new Fontaine domain (e.g., "Justice," "Equity," or another abstract theme).

Check which days the books are available.
Farm in Domain of Mastery dungeons.
Use Condensed Resin for double rewards.

Books can also be crafted using the Crafting Bench if you have spare lower-tier ones.

Weekly Boss Drops for Talent Upgrades

Skirk requires one unique weekly boss drop per talent path, just like other 5-star characters. These drops typically come from Fontaine’s weekly bosses.

Each run costs 30 resin (discounted to 20 for the first three per week). Use Dream Solvent to convert unused boss drops into the ones she needs.

Run bosses like:

The new Fontaine World Boss
Aether’s Shadow (if applicable)
Any limited event boss available

Efficient Daily Resin Use for Skirk

Resin is your limiting resource, so plan wisely:

20 Resin for Bosses
20 Resin for Talent Books (Condensed = 40 Resin for 2x rewards)
40 Resin for Elite enemies

Start your week with talent and boss farming. Then pivot to specialties and mob drops on weekends. Prioritize her talents over ascension past level 70+ unless she’s your main.

Crafting Tips and Material Conversion

You’ll often have excess low-tier materials. Use crafting benches in major cities to:

Upgrade 3x lower-tier items into 1x higher-tier item.
Use Alchemy to convert elemental stones (with Dust of Azoth).
Exchange Talent books in the same series (using Philosophies items).

Don’t let your inventory pile up—convert unused materials often.

Skirk Team Composition and Build Synergy

Skirk synergizes well with characters that enhance her burst windows or shield her. Pair her with:

Xingqiu or Yelan for Hydro resonance.
Zhongli for shields.
Bennett for healing and ATK buffing.

Artifacts should focus on her core damage type—likely crit rate/damage, elemental bonus, and energy recharge depending on her skill kit.

Skirk Ascension Priority Order

You don’t need to ascend everything at once. Here’s a good upgrade order:

Ascend to 70 (most value vs. resin cost)
Level Skill & Burst first
Ascend to 90 only if she’s in your Abyss team
Weapon upgrades and artifact leveling next

With this flow, you’ll use your resources efficiently without wasting mora or resin.

Conclusion

Preparing Skirk for battle in Genshin Impact takes time, but with the right farming plan, you can maximize her potential efficiently. From weekly boss fights to daily material runs, each component of her build contributes to making her a powerful addition to your team. Focus on leveling her talents, collect regional materials regularly, and schedule your resin use around high-yield days. With this guide, you now have a clear roadmap to build Skirk quickly and smartly without wasting resources.
