With Genshin Impact Version 5.7 approaching fast, the hype surrounding Skirk, one of the game’s most anticipated characters, is reaching a boiling point. But according to Xiao Eats Snow on YouTube, much of what you may have seen online about Skirk’s kit—especially on YouTube and social media—is completely fake.
From false leaks to mistranslated text dumps, let’s break down what’s real, what’s not, and what you should actually believe about Skirk ahead of the 5.7 beta.
🚫 Most “Leaked” Skirk Kits Are Fake
One of the most widely circulated leaks was originally in Chinese and then hastily machine-translated into English. While many content creators quickly jumped on the bandwagon to speculate and farm views, the original leaker themselves later confirmed that the information was false.
Key Points:
- The now-debunked leak claimed to detail Skirk’s full kit, including her skill, burst, and passives.
- The same leaker who released it later admitted it was fake.
- The actual origin of the fake leak traces back to a new leaker named “Kcomi” or “Home Djat”, not to be confused with the trusted leaker HomDGCat.
❌ If you saw flashy videos with “full Skirk kit” in the title—it’s fake.
✅ Only a very limited part of Skirk’s actual design is confirmed via legitimate sources.
✅ What Do We Know for Sure?
So far, the only trustworthy leak about Skirk comes from the text map of the 5.6 beta, where two of her passive talents were briefly visible. These entries are developer-added data and are considered legitimate.
These passive talents are still vague, but they provide some insight into Skirk’s Cryo-based mechanics, likely tied to energy regeneration and reaction-based bonuses—though the exact mechanics remain under wraps.
📅 When Will We Know More?
You won’t have to wait much longer for verified information.
- 5.7 beta is expected to begin in less than two weeks (around mid-May 2025).
- Once the beta goes live, gameplay footage, stats, and full kit details will start circulating.
- That’s when we’ll finally have reliable insights into how Skirk plays, what her multipliers are, and what kind of teams she will thrive in.
🧊 Until then, any full skill description, C1-C6 constellation list, or “meta analysis” is speculative at best—and fake at worst.
🧃 Why You Should Be Skeptical of Fake Leaks
Xiao Eats Snow also points out that many creators will go the extra mile to make the leaks look official—including using stylized fonts, adding developer-style commentary, or even fake UI elements to mimic Genshin’s in-game text. But without legitimate sources, these are nothing more than fan-made mockups.
If you’re unsure whether a leak is real, check:
- The original leaker’s reputation (e.g., HomDGCat is credible. “Home Djat” is not.)
- Whether the leak is sourced from the beta test server or just “text leaks”
- Whether trusted datamining communities or translators have cross-verified the leak
📌 TL;DR – What’s Real About Skirk?
| Information | Status |
|---|---|
| Passive talents (2) seen in 5.6 text map | ✅ Confirmed |
| Full kit leak (Skill, Burst, Constellations) | ❌ Fake |
| Skirk is a Cryo Sword character | ✅ Confirmed |
| Skirk pairs well with Escoffier | ✅ Supported by reliable theorycraft |
| Skirk’s release in Version 5.7 | ✅ Likely, based on multiple leak sources |
| Any numbers, multipliers, or full gameplay previews | ❌ Fake (until 5.7 beta) |
🧊 Final Thoughts: Wait Before You Pull
Skirk is real and she’s coming soon, but her kit is still largely under wraps. If you’re planning to spend your Primogems or prepare a team around her, it’s better to wait for the official 5.7 beta or trusted gameplay leaks.
In the meantime:
- Ignore flashy “full kit revealed” videos
- Follow verified sources like HomDGCat, hxg, or team China leak collators
- Stay skeptical of any “translation” that hasn’t been verified by the community
