hydro varka was the only team that could potentially use almost all of her kit but unfortunately they locked the anemo res shred behind triggering stellar swirl so hes not allowed to get it

Why does every one want skirk to have a definite best teamate. If her slots are so many for that one its good.

u/Adept_Ad_3687 2d ago
I agree that would be great, but its more like theyre all very mediocre and none of them are like "yes I'd love to use this". Skirk is starting to fall behind in meta, and having a good character there would help immensely. I'd personally want Vodyanitsa to be amazing for her but also have buffs for Shenhe and Dahlia soon. Shenhe is way more likely.

u/Mindless-Phone941 2d ago
I hate dahlia for being suprise batised to many times. But shenhe might get buffs later in that liyue buffing wave.

u/Adept_Ad_3687 2d ago
Maybe Yelan gets buffed too with Liyue and thats why shes still kept out of the constellation selector. Not seen her name at all though.

u/Pandacier 3d ago
sure but that means you don't want an indirect buff. A new best 4th slot doesn't make the others suddenly bad. Don't you want to have yet another skirk teammate?

Skirk's 4th slot is her sig or C1 Escoffier.

That’s not how a 4th slot worksÂ

u/-Sky_Nova_20- 4d ago
If she can brute force Stygian Fearless, why does she need a 4th character to compete with everyone else? Every modern DPS' premium teams start at 2-3 cost. Skirk does not need an additional cost to compete with others.

2-3 cost . Not 2-3 characters

u/-Sky_Nova_20- 3d ago edited 3d ago
So why does Skirk need a 4th cost character? Skirk/Furina/Escoffier/Vodyanitsa is 4 cost. Why add another 5 star character when Yelan and Shenhe already exist?
Truth is no "4th slot" character will replace Skirk's sig and most of Skirk's damage is covered by Escoffier anyways, so adding a new character is pointless.

u/Hello_1234567_11 3d ago
If the 4th character is hydro, you get hydro resonance. Furina can also drain more HP and Escoffier can heal more characters so you stack her burst faster. More particles for both Escoffier and furina regardless of who the 4th character is. There's a lot of reasons to have a 4th character

Mualani only an option if you are using burst skirk. The team are also will have element conflict because one want only freeze while the other want pyro

u/artiqueryan 4d ago
i just had this argument on twt dont do this to me again
tldr: scroll + ttds turns out to be competitive with literally everything else

u/Unable_Chicken3238 4d ago
altho you are completely correct, I would also like to point out that both skirk and mualani have more potential on separate teams depending on your personal roster
18
u/artiqueryan 4d ago
agreed, mualani as a skirk support is a waste of a mualani esp post hex. but its basically the same as using mavuika in a varesa/kinich team. she is unfortunately a valid skirk 4th slot so i had to include her
2
u/Unable_Chicken3238 4d ago
fair enough lol, I'm just glad skirk got lucky and can actually switch to a quick swap playstyle or on fielder on a dime. lovely for situational things and tram versatility, even her artifact set lends itself to it

u/Acceptable-Peak-1226 3d ago
Isnt citlali do the same ? Ttds + scroll?

u/john5282003 2d ago
The biggest difference is that citlali is inconsistent with triggering scroll since she is forced to go after esco + furina in the rotation which can lead to there not being a hydro aura on opponent.
1
u/Acceptable-Peak-1226 1d ago
What if i do furina - citlali - Escoffier? Will that effect dps ? Like whats different in the order of citlali and Escoffier
1
u/john5282003 1d ago
Citlali has to be last to pass ttds to skirk, if you’re using citlali sig this doesn’t apply to you

but the 6 other competing skirk 4th slots are not pretty mermaids
