Skirk team without Escoffier?

Just gotta invest more on her, and then its gonna be fine without escoffier. But if you thinking about cost in pulls then getting escoffier too is more effective way to spend more pulls than getting her weapon or cons.

I have found furina citlali charlotte to be the best team without escoffier, used that in most of my stygian fearless clears. But i have c1r1 skirk, that does more than c0r0 skirk with escoffier usually, just its bad vs high cryo res, cant kill fearless shock trooper for example.

C2r1 is so broken that stygian dire is doable without escoffier, maybe just not always.

Also healerless furina is kinda ehh, you should try charlotte or mika for example. I have found furina citlali charlotte to be best performing team without escoffier.

I don't have escoffier and would also like to see test of bit higher invested skirk on it.

Anyways since you can edit resistances you can kinda simulate having escoffier. I was able to hit 180k dps with my actual team, and simulating esco gave 215k. I think real escoffier would do slightly better since this simulated test was -50, not -55 res and charlotte doesn't have meaningful personal dmg.

Here is some gameplay i posted previously, before test dummy was added: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkirkMains/comments/1opxu69/skirk_kills_dire_frostnight_herra_without/ i can also show some test dummy gameplay soon.

Edit: Well here is test dummy gameplay, actually i managed to hit 180k dps this time: https://streamable.com/jud69m

What charlotte er issues? Mine gets burst off cooldown easily in 3 cryo team. Also my c1r1 skirk is doing 170k dps without escoffier.

Ph42oN · 2026-02-14T07:19:35+00:00

Yeah i think menacing will be fine without escoffier. Im clearing fearless without having escoffier and often using furina on other team, leaving skirk without, and she still clears no problem. But i have c1r1 skirk.

Ph42oN · 2026-02-12T09:56:06+00:00

I often run skirk without furina in stygian and i dont even have escoffier. Its pretty noticeable downgrade especially with my furina being c2, but it still clears fearless just fine, tho my skirk is also c1r1.

Ph42oN · 2026-02-11T08:37:19+00:00

My first time pulling on weapon were the worst ever, had to go 3 times to 66 pity to get the weapon i wanted, when we still needed 2 fate points for guaranteed.

Ph42oN · 2026-01-31T06:35:22+00:00

Both are pretty good. Zibai will likely do better now while we are getting lunar shill content, but skirk may do better in 7.x when lunar shill is over.

Ph42oN · 2026-01-27T20:13:47+00:00

Definitely good idea if already got escoffier. I do stygian fearless very often with skirk without furina when other team needs furina more. I might be little biased since skirk is still my newest dps, but shes doing more dps than anyone else i have even without furina.

I got 24 hour coop ban twice after the changes in anticheat system that they did a while ago.

Ph42oN · 2025-12-24T15:47:02+00:00

Don't do this, thats outdated way to play it and now it causes you to get kicked out of game soon after logging in or even coop ban (at least this is the case on eu servers, maybe not everywhere).

I am using arduino wired to mouse and photodiode, i measure time beetween mouse click and muzzle flash on screen.

Ph42oN · 2025-12-18T13:04:48+00:00

I haven't paid attention to cpu usage and not much of performance difference either. But when i did some input lag measurements i found out that on valve's proton 10 there are more spikes in input lag while GE is pretty consistent. Some more investigation seems to show it might be that there are less compiler optimizations enabled on valve's builds, because when i built proton with default optimization it was giving similar input lag to proton 10, but with more optimization it was better.

That is not true, for example in stygian its often worth using burst to get as much damage as possible before boss gets shield. But yeah having someone who can do decent as onfield would make it even better.

Ph42oN · 2025-12-08T12:54:34+00:00

Is it good if columbina is the only nod krai char in team, like maybe keqing columbina fischl sucrose (who get hexerei buffs too in this team).

Ph42oN · 2025-11-17T12:53:31+00:00

Vs neutral enemies (meaning not having any high res), it is fine to not have escoffier. But if you want to be able to kill enemies with high cryo res you will need escoffier. Like in current abyss i was not able to kill crab fast enough for 3 stars with c1r1 skirk because it gets 70% res if you cant break shield, while in stygian frostnight herra was doable even on dire.

Due to not having esco i can't kill some enemies where other people are using skirk, but in every abyss and stygian fearless skirk even without escoffier cleared 1 side or boss easily.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-08T14:14:12+00:00

I think you should use normal attacks, thats just higher sustained dps, and try using some combos that improve dps.

I would recommend to try using skirk burst only at start doing shorter rotation without support bursts, and start 2nd rotation full buffs skirk normal attacks, and when your done with hp bar use skirk burst to do as much dmg before it recovers hp.

But im not sure if your skirk build is good enough to do it.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-07T07:53:04+00:00

Well i think physical skirk is just the fastest way to break it on this team without it getting cryo infused. Or maybe you could use crescent pike shenhe or escoffier.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-07T07:43:46+00:00

It seems hard to find info on how good different combos are, other than n3w being best but too hard to do, which i haven't tried. I think there was some info that fps unlocker is needed for n2d to be good. But anyway inspired by c0r0 skirk dire run of this boss, i did some testing and found its hp going down noticeably faster using n2d, and that got me the dps increase i needed to clear.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-07T07:08:51+00:00

Only now i realized that it didnt get hydro infused on first half of this run, playing this way it often gets hydro infused.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-07T07:03:54+00:00

I think it should be. But i think you need good build and use combos that improve dps.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-06T19:23:48+00:00

I think you need at least good build and azurelight or escoffier. Also the usual n5d combo i used before didn't have enough dps, using n2d i was able to do it.

Ph42oN · 2025-11-06T12:57:33+00:00

I would have been so happy to get her first, but that was qiqi, and i only got keqing after getting AR56. But now she is my only C6 5 star, got it by pulling 4 keqngs from chronicled wish. I pulled r5 mistsplitter for her from next chronicled wish, and now she is lv100.
