With her long-awaited debut finally here, Skirk has made a powerful entrance into Genshin Impact as a Cryo sword wielder steeped in lore and mystery. Known as Childe’s enigmatic master and a key figure in Fontaine’s Archon Quest, Skirk is a character that fans have eagerly anticipated both for her narrative significance and her powerful in-game capabilities.

If you’re planning to add this formidable Cryo swordswoman to your team, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about her ascension and talent materials—including where to find them, what quantities you’ll need, and how to prepare your resources for full level and talent upgrades.

🌟 Skirk Ascension Materials Overview

To bring Skirk from level 1 to 90, you’ll need a hefty supply of materials sourced from Natlan, Fontaine, and various world bosses. Here’s the complete breakdown:

🔹 Cryo Gemstones (Shivada Jade)

👾 Boss Drop: Ensnaring Gaze

Dropped by the Tenebrous Papilla world boss.
