Skirk is a Cryo DPS that specializes on dealing damage on field through Normal Attacks, while also being able to take the role of a Burst Nuke. Skirk's Ascension 4 Passive provides her with a big Base Damage Modifier, therefore it is important to run her with only Cryo and Hydro Teammates to maximize this passive.
Skirk uses "Serpent's Subtlety" instead of Energy. She does not benefit from Energy Recharge, and her "Elemental Energy" is always 0.

Regarding Artifact Choices:
Sets
Blizzard Strayer (4): This set is only useful against fully freezable enemies, in which case it becomes Skirk's best in slot. However, this setup makes it easy to overcap on CRIT Rate with certain weapons.
Marechaussee Hunter (4): This set should only be used with Furina on the team, in which case it performs the same as (4). If Skirk is [C1] or higher, this set consistently outperforms for the Normal Attack playstyle.
