Skirk Permafrost – S+ Cryo-Hydro Permafrost Team
Skirk Permafrost — Void Rift Hydro‑Cryo Team
Skirk Permafrost Freeze Team
#1 Skirk Permafrost Freeze Team
Tier SSSkirk is the main DPS focused on Cryo-infused Normal Attacks and an Elemental Burst that scales with Serpent’s Subtlety. The team uses Hydro supports to generate Void Rifts and enable Permafrost/Cryo interactions while providing ATK buffs, healing, and burst uptime.
Core synergy: Skirk (DPS) + Shenhe (ATK buff / Cryo RES shred) + Furina (continuous Hydro, HP-based DMG buff) + Escoffier (Cryo application & healing / resistance shred).
CryoSkirk: Elemental Burst uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of energy; Burst damage increases if Serpent’s Subtlety > 50. Serpent’s Subtlety is generated by her Skill or by absorbing Void Rifts (created when allies trigger Cryo-related reactions). Skill can switch to Seven-Phase Flash mode, infusing Normal Attacks with Cryo and increasing damage; enhanced Burst further increases Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts.

Symphonist of Scents#2 Skirk Permafrost — Serpent's Subtlety SS Team
Tier SSTeam focus: A Permafrost-style team built around Skirk as the main DPS. Skirk uses Serpent’s Subtlety and can enter a Cryo-infusing mode to trigger powerful Cryo-related reactions; teammates provide shields, consistent Hydro application and healing while lowering enemy resistances to maximize Skirk’s damage.
Playstyle notes: Keep Serpent’s Subtlety high (>50) before bursting, use Citlali for shields and Void Rift interactions, Furina for continuous Hydro application and Furina-driven burst amplification, and Escoffier for healing + additional Cryo application and resistance shred.
CryoSkirk’s Elemental Burst uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of elemental energy. Burst damage is increased when Serpent’s Subtlety > 50. Serpent’s Subtlety is gained from her Skill or by absorbing Void Rifts spawned when allies trigger Cryo-related reactions. She can switch to Seven-Phase Flash mode: Normal Attacks become infused with Cryo and deal increased damage; using the enhanced Burst further boosts Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts.

#3 Skirk Permafrost — SS Team #3
Tier SSPermafrost-focused team built around Skirk as the main DPS. The comp uses multiple Hydro supports to enable frequent Freeze/Permafrost procs while providing healing and damage amplification. Skirk uses Serpent’s Subtlety to power her Burst and can switch into a Cryo‑infused attack mode to maximize Permafrost uptime and Void Rift absorption.
Playstyle: Keep Skirk in her Seven‑Phase Flash mode when possible, use Furina for sustained Hydro application, Charlotte to heal and provide Cryo uptime for Freezing, and Escoffier to lower enemy Cryo/Hydro RES and heal.
CryoMain DPS. Uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of conventional Energy — Burst scales with Serpent’s Subtlety and is stronger above 50. Skill can switch Skirk into Seven‑Phase Flash mode: Normal Attacks become Cryo‑infused and deal increased damage. Enhanced Burst absorbs nearby Void Rifts and further boosts Normal Attack damage.

#4 Skirk Permafrost – S+ Cryo-Hydro Permafrost Team
Tier SSkirk is the Main DPS. Team focuses on creating and absorbing Void Rifts / Permafrost windows to amplify Skirk's enhanced Burst and Cryo-infused Normal Attacks. Uses off-field Hydro from Yelan/Furina and healing/support from Escoffier to sustain reactions and generate Serpent’s Subtlety.
CryoSkirk is the team's main damage dealer. Her Burst uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of Energy; higher Serpent’s Subtlety (especially >50) increases Burst damage. Her Skill can switch her to Seven-Phase Flash mode, infusing Normals with Cryo and increasing damage; the enhanced Burst further raises Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts.

#5 Skirk Permafrost — Void Rift Hydro‑Cryo Team
Tier SSOverview: Skirk is the Main DPS who scales with Serpent’s Subtlety and Void Rifts (from Cryo reactions). The supports (Dahlia, Furina, Escoffier) provide Hydro application, Cryo application, healing, shields and team buffs so Skirk can absorb Void Rifts frequently.
Build notes: prioritize Skirk crit stats and Cryo DMG on goblet; supports focus on ER/HP and team utility.
CryoSkirk notes: Elemental Burst uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of energy; Burst DMG increases when Subtlety >50. Serpent’s Subtlety is gained from her Skill or by absorbing Void Rifts generated when allies trigger Cryo‑related reactions. Skill can switch to Seven‑Phase Flash mode, infusing Normal Attacks with Cryo and boosting their damage; enhanced Burst further boosts Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts.

#6 Skirk Permafrost Freeze Team
Tier SSSkirk is the main DPS. This team revolves around generating Cryo-related reactions (Freezing/Permafrost) to feed Skirk's Serpent’s Subtlety and Void Rifts so her Burst scales higher. Skirk can switch to Seven-Phase Flash mode to infuse Normal Attacks with Cryo and absorb Void Rifts; her Burst does not consume Energy and is stronger above 50 Serpent’s Subtlety. Charlotte provides healing/protection and Cryo application for Freeze procs, Furina adds continuous Hydro and HP-based Burst scaling, and Candace supplies shields and Normal Attack buffing.
Recommended play: apply Hydro frequently (Furina/Skirk/Candace) and trigger Cryo reactions to generate Void Rifts, keep Skirk in Seven-Phase Flash when possible, and use Charlotte to sustain HP and enable Furina’s HP-based Burst synergies.
CryoSkirk’s Elemental Burst uses Serpent’s Subtlety instead of Energy; damage increases when Serpent’s Subtlety > 50. She obtains Serpent’s Subtlety from her Skill or by absorbing Void Rifts (generated by allies triggering Cryo-related reactions). She can switch to Seven-Phase Flash mode to infuse Normal Attacks with Cryo and increase damage; the enhanced Burst further boosts Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts.
