Genshin 5.7 Kicks Off With Skirk and Fresh Surprises
Genshin Impact Version 5.7 just dropped, and fans have a lot to look forward to. Alongside Skirk’s long-awaited banner, Hoyoverse launched new in-game events, fresh challenges, and a web event packed with rewards. Whether you're hunting for Primogems, leveling up your favorite characters, or diving into the latest Abyss mode, this guide walks you through everything new.
Skirk’s arrival is accompanied by unique rewards, including a surprise browser-based event, a new Abyss challenge called Stygian Onslaught, and even exclusive weapon skins—though not all rewards are permanent. Here’s how to unlock these features, earn Primogems, and make the most of what Version 5.7 has to offer.
Skirk’s Web Event: Easy Primogems for Logging In
To celebrate Skirk’s banner, Hoyoverse launched a limited-time web event that rewards players with Primogems. By logging in through the event page and connecting your Genshin account, you can track your personal journey across Teyvat—including your start date and play duration.
How to Join the Event:
-
Access the event via the official Genshin Impact website or the link shared in-game.
-
Log in using your Hoyoverse credentials.
-
View your gameplay stats and receive free rewards just for checking in.
Don’t miss the bonus promo code hidden in the event description—it grants extra rewards directly via your in-game mail.
Track Your Adventure Time in Teyvat
One neat feature of the web event is that it shows exactly when you first started playing Genshin Impact. It also displays how many days you’ve spent exploring the world of Teyvat. It’s a small detail, but a nostalgic touch for long-time players.
This stat screen is part of the browser event, and after checking your account’s play history, you'll be prompted to share it—which is optional, but sometimes rewarded with bonus Primogems.
How to Unlock the New Abyss Mode: Stygian Onslaught
A major highlight in Version 5.7 is Stygian Onslaught, a brand-new twist on the traditional Spiral Abyss. While it’s not available at launch, it unlocks eight days after the update goes live. That means the mode officially opens on June 25.
Where to Access It:
-
You’ll find the new Abyss through the event tab once it unlocks.
-
It will run for 5 weeks per cycle, offering a fresh layer of content beyond the main Spiral Abyss.
Abyss Difficulty Levels: Co-Op Options & Restrictions
There are six difficulty tiers in Stygian Onslaught, and they’re divided into co-op-friendly and solo-only levels:
-
Levels 1–3 can be completed with friends. Whether you're helping someone clear a level or working as a team, all participating players will earn the same rewards.
-
Levels 4–6 are strictly solo-only, meant to test your individual team-building and combat skills.
These higher levels come with significantly tougher enemies and mechanics that require strategy and resource management.
Earn Up to 450 Primogems Quickly
Just clearing the first three levels of Stygian Onslaught grants you a total of 450 Primogems. You don't need top-tier characters to claim this—just bring a decent team and coordinate with your co-op buddies for maximum efficiency.
Completing all three stages can typically be done in a single session, making it one of the best ways to grab Primogems in the current version without heavy grind.
New Reward: Enlightenment Dust Explained
One of the most talked-about rewards in the new Abyss mode is Enlightenment Dust. This material allows you to re-roll sub-stats on already-upgraded artifacts. It's especially useful if you've taken a piece to level 20 and got zero Crit Rate or Crit Damage upgrades.
Here’s what it can do:
-
Used only on artifacts upgraded to +20.
-
Lets you modify sub-stat results without losing the level.
-
Helps make high-investment gear actually viable again.
Artifact Rewards by Set Choice
Besides Dust, completing higher Abyss tiers lets you choose a specific artifact set for your reward pool. It’s a game-changer if you’re targeting hard-to-farm sets like Gladiator’s Finale or Emblem of Severed Fate.
Artifact rewards scale based on the level you complete:
-
Mid-tier difficulty: Random 5★ pieces.
-
Highest tiers: Chosen set + chance at ideal sub-stats.
You won’t find a faster way to farm tailored endgame gear.
Weapon Skins Are Back—But There's a Catch
Clearing the sixth difficulty level unlocks limited-time weapon skins, modeled after the aesthetic of “Sinner’s Weapons.” These are available for certain 4★ and 5★ weapons and are awarded based on your completion time—the faster, the better.
However, there’s one drawback:
👉 The skins are not permanent. Once the event ends, they disappear from your inventory.
This decision sparked debate among players, but it still offers a short-term reward worth chasing if you love customization.
Are the Weapon Skins Worth It? What You Should Know
While the new weapon skins look visually striking, many players are questioning if they’re worth the grind, especially considering they’re time-limited. The skins only apply to a select list of weapons and do not offer stat boosts or passive effects—purely cosmetic.
If you're a completionist or enjoy visual flair, it’s a fun reward. But for players focused on power progression, Enlightenment Dust and artifacts may hold more long-term value.
What to Expect After Skirk’s Event Ends
Once the current web and Abyss events expire, some of the exclusive rewards—like weapon skins—will be gone. However, Enlightenment Dust and selectable artifact sets might become a recurring feature in future Abyss rotations if feedback is positive.
Hoyoverse often experiments with new systems before making them permanent. If player engagement stays high, we could see Stygian Onslaught becoming a long-term alternative to the Spiral Abyss.
Conclusion: New Version, New Goals
Genshin Impact 5.7 brings more than just a new banner. With Skirk now playable, fresh systems like Stygian Onslaught provide new endgame content. The event-based rewards offer generous Primogems, gear upgrades, and cosmetic flair—even if some of it is temporary.
To recap:
-
Use the web event to earn easy Primogems and track your Genshin history.
-
Unlock Stygian Onslaught on June 25 and aim for level 3 for the 450 Primogem reward.
-
Farm Enlightenment Dust and tailored artifact sets from higher tiers.
-
Consider chasing the weapon skins for limited-time fun—just don’t expect them to stay forever.
Whether you’re in for the story, the grind, or the style, Version 5.7 gives something to every kind of player.
