Skirk Gameplay
Skirk is a 5-star Cryo Sword character. Like Mavuika, her Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy, but instead consumes a special resource known as Serpent's Subtlety. Skirk has two main ways to deal damage.
- The first focuses on her Normal Attacks. By tapping her Elemental Skill, Skirk enters Seven-Phase Flash mode, allowing her to consume Serpent's Subtlety to perform enhanced Normal Attacks.
- The second approach emphasizes burst damage. Skirk can consume all available Serpent's Subtlety to unleash her Elemental Burst — Havoc: Ruin. The damage of this ability scales with the amount of Serpent's Subtlety consumed.
