Genshin Impact Version 5.7 is finally here, and with it come two brand-new characters: Skirk, the long-awaited Cryo swordmaster, and Dahlia, a new Hydro support from Mondstadt. If you plan on pulling for them, our in-depth build guides are now available to help you get the most out of each character!
Skirk Build Guide – Cryo DPS Elite
Skirk is a powerful Cryo Main DPS with incredibly strong single-target potential and high scaling damage. She excels when paired with specific supports like Escoffier, but can also function without her. She is currently the second-best DPS in the game after Mavuika! Here Elemental Burst does not use energy meaning Skirk has no ER requirements, and she is able to raise the Elemental Skill levels of everyone in the party.

Skirk Guide and Best BuildsDahlia Build Guide – Niche Support With Small Utility
Dahlia is a Hydro support who brings shielding and an ATK SPD buff. Sadly, he does fall behind compared to the other available support options. Dahlia struggles due to split scaling, low elemental application, and very little personal damage.
Unless he’s intended as a free-to-play synergy option specifically for Skirk, Dahlia is often a downgrade compared to existing support alternatives.
Check out the best gear, teams, and how to play him despite his weaknesses:
