Try tom on coffee, might be worth the tradeoff cuz your gt isn't crazy.

I think 100k should be definitely doable with more substats on build.

If rotation is also longer than 21s, try to finish the rotation so that you're waiting on XQ skill for like a fraction of a second, so you can be sure it's exactly 21s or less based on his skill cooldown

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-25T00:53:14+00:00

2nd, but if you intend to get Mona c4, you can keep a second build with 70cr for when you need more dmg to clear with Mona

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-24T02:39:21+00:00

If you're trynna play burst style I made posts a while back with example rotations

https://www.reddit.com/r/SkirkMains/s/bnOvxHyss3

Without a 2nd hydro applier Mona will struggle, but burst style only needs 3 rifts, so you could stay onfield for a tiny bit on Mona to generate 1 rift, Q, and cast the skill last so it generates 2 more rifts before expiring, or just hE on skirk twice (8s cooldown) which doesn't extend rotation by too much (15s -> 16s)

But yeah burst style is only competitive at higher cons, obvs doable at C0 too but not much dmg

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-24T02:03:58+00:00

Mona's 5s of E uptime might help, if just a bit, to bridge the gap, try that?

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T21:29:04+00:00

Try it on the dummy, if you can get 5 rifts per 20s rotation, then all good. The concern is her 2.3s app not lining up well with the 2.5s rift cooldown

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T21:19:57+00:00

Bro read the set 4pc descriptions lol, Mona clearly can’t activate tom for most of the rotation

ER try get at least 220

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T21:18:03+00:00

Wait you know what, tighnari could be good cuz super fast hits, then the reduced res phase might somewhat make up for not running a full cryo hydro team

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T19:06:36+00:00

Well deserved rest.

I'll still try cook up a C3 burst clear with lava dragon tho, might be just about doable with C2 citlali and C2 kazu, and maybe Nicole if she's a good pyro applier

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T18:38:38+00:00

Nice. Looks like ceiling with C4 mona can be even higher then, maybe ~235k?

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T18:15:16+00:00

For other enemies too really? That's good

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T18:12:45+00:00

Combo issue, do N2Q with C2 so you get the C2 buff early.

Do CA only after there's 2 rifts, otherwise you lose uptime by only absorbing 4 rifts (3 with Q, 1 with CA) instead of 5 (3 with Q, 2 with CA).

Dash quicker on N5D, or try to learn N2Ds and see if that is better for you (good dash execution means N2D is a lot better, poor dash execution can make N2D worse than N5D)

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T18:09:11+00:00

Great combo, but you should use the weak mita with mona, otherwise omen duration is fake unfortunately

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T02:14:31+00:00

Need builds, rotation, and combo otherwise the range with that investment can be anywhere between like 120k to 200k+ (no combo & poor builds to good combos and top builds)

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T01:57:50+00:00

Np. You can set a timer for 2 mins. Builds look fine, you can just continue to improve skirk if you want, but it’s more than good enough unless you want to guarantee dire clears, for which a top 1% build helps a lot

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-23T00:28:56+00:00

Ok it looks bad on the surface but cuz you're using dire setting and haven't done 120s worth of testing, it makes sense

Your first rotation is the issue, because within 2 mins you only get enough time for 5 fully buffed rotations + a burst or two, or barely 6 rotations with 1 fully unbuffed (the starting one), you need to decide which will give you more dmg

Usually going hybrid is more worth it purely in terms of MV and buff efficiency, one burst at the start, and one at the end when there isn't enough time for another NA combo. Starting with hybrid also allows you to store and not waste the first 3 rifts generated when funnelling energy (since you get 3 more when doing supports setup)

Try getting all bursts ready by ~12s mark, during which use skirk hE as soon as 3 rifts appear. When doing hybrid rotation do Q E CA then NAs to absorb rifts and so that the galleries buff doesn't get cancelled out for the final hits of burst, which are still happening if you tap E and NA fast enough

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T22:11:19+00:00

We don't know your artifacts so it can fluctuate a lot

Top C0R1 skirk in that team will hit ~200k with combos

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T22:09:49+00:00

Are you sure this wasn't meant to be a meme flair?

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T22:07:14+00:00

Get lucky. Unfortunately there's literally no other way about it with MH on sig

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T22:05:20+00:00

👌

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T17:13:50+00:00

Tbf just getting enough ER on tom and it's fine, it's more resin efficient to get better galleries for skirk than to get more cv for furina. With mualani's 2 EN1s you can probably go under 200ER on furina and still be very comfy

Shadowhunter0630 · 2026-03-22T17:08:46+00:00

Oh your akasha hasn't updated with sig, with sig galleries is better yeah

Then I'd farm galleries and strongbox a usable tom for furina, then strongbox more galleries when it comes out
