With Skirk now fully released, the Genshin meta has evolved again—and she’s at the heart of it. Whether you’re looking for the most powerful compositions with her or need flexible teams that don’t rely on Escafier, creator JJJackal has provided a complete breakdown of Skirk’s best setups across all playstyles and team budgets.

Let’s dive into her best comps, why they work, and how to build around her for maximum damage.

The Best Skirk Team: Escafier + Fina Core

The most powerful Skirk team starts with a tried-and-true duo: Furina and Escafier. This combo unlocks Skirk’s full potential by providing:

  • Fina’s fanfare: Consistent teamwide buffs and passive damage
  • Escafier’s Cryo/Hydro res shred: A massive 50% reduction, with personal DPS and healing baked in

This core makes up the foundation of the current strongest Skirk team.

For the fourth slot, JJJackal recommends several top-tier options:

1. Seatlali

  • Brings the Cinder City artifact set bonus (Cryo + Hydro DMG bonus)
  • Uses Thrilling Tales to boost Skirk’s ATK by 48%
  • Provides shielding, enabling Skirk to run the Calamity of Esu, which boosts her Normal/Charge Attack DMG and crit rate

2. Shenhe

  • Provides Ice Quill buffs to Normal/Charge Attacks
  • Pairs perfectly with Ayaka and Skirk together, though removes shield option, limiting weapon flexibility

3. Yelan

  • Adds passive burst damage and buffs Skirk’s personal damage via her skill
  • Enables Hydro Resonance with Furina for bonus HP scaling

💡 All three variants perform extremely well, and the clear time difference between them is minimal. Choose based on your account and preferences.

Dual DPS: Skirk + Neuvillette

Looking for high burst potential and rotation synergy? Pair Skirk with Neuvillette.

  • Skirk’s quick burst fits perfectly between Neuvillette’s long charge attack windows
  • Both units benefit from Furina and Escafier
  • Skirk collects Void Rifts and unloads massive burst damage quickly, allowing Neuvillette to dominate the rest of the rotation

This team feels fluid, fun, and devastating against single-target bosses or Onslaught content.

Escafier-Free Skirk Teams

Don’t have Escafier? You still have plenty of viable team comps. Here’s how to structure them:

Core: Skirk + Furina
Then add:

Shielders and Buffers

  • Seatlali: Still a top option with TTDS and Cinder City
  • Layla or Dalia: Add shielding plus extra buffs (Layla boosts NA/CA, Dalia gives ATK speed)
  • Mona: Burst DMG amp, TTDS, and Hydro resonance enabler

Sub-DPS Options

  • Yelan: Passive damage + personal buff (Hydro resonance with Furina)
  • Xingqiu: Slightly worse than Yelan but still solid
  • Cryo units: Rosaria, Guuji, even Ayaka can all apply Cryo and deal good damage passively

Healers

  • Charlotte: The standout 4-star pick. Thrilling Tales + Cinder City + healing = ideal Skirk support
  • Mika: Offers healing and attack speed, but more niche and less impactful than Charlotte

Top combos without Escafier:

  • Skirk + Fina + Seatlali + Charlotte
  • Skirk + Fina + Yelan + Charlotte
  • Skirk + Fina + Mona + Layla

These teams are safe, synergistic, and still deliver excellent results in Abyss and Onslaught modes.

Skirk as a Sub-DPS

Skirk’s value isn’t limited to main carry. She excels as a burst-focused sub-DPS too, especially for Ayaka teams.

  • Ayaka + Skirk + Furina + Escafier is now one of Ayaka’s strongest teams
  • Skirk brings a massive nuke with her burst, setting up Ayaka’s own burst for total screen-clearing mayhem
  • In Ayato teams, Skirk increases his Elemental Skill level, boosting his personal DPS

She also fits surprisingly well in teams with Du or even Chongyun, depending on your roster.

Final Thoughts

Skirk is a DPS powerhouse who thrives in flexible comps. Whether you use her as a main on-field carry or off-field nuke unit, her synergy with top-tier supports like Fina, Escafier, and Seatlali creates devastating team rotations.

Even without premium units, options like Charlotte, Mona, and Layla keep her teams competitive and versatile. If you’re investing in her, you’ll find no shortage of strong setups to dominate Genshin’s toughest content.
