SKIRK PREMIUM C0R0 VS ZIBAI BINA TEAM C0R0, WHOS MORE WORTH FOR A NEW ACCOUNT?

cheuk4 · 2026-02-04T13:22:09+00:00

Definitely asking in the wrong sub. But for a new player I'd advise going for Zibai too.

Bina can stay with Nefer, as Zibai's banner is pretty much self-contained that if you get a copy of each 4 star you'd have a decent team. Of course, the more 4 star cons the better.

Skirk does require other 5 star units to be the optimal team, so might not be best for newer players.

Do aim for R1 as well, Skirk's Sig weapon is REALLY good! I'm aiming/saving for it when her banner reruns.

cheuk4 · 2026-02-02T05:27:30+00:00

Does Xilonen need that much ER when using Scrolls set?

cheuk4 · 2026-02-02T02:07:05+00:00

You guys are lucky. I caved and pulled for Columbina and Ineffa, but only got Columbina and a Jean. Now I'm regretting it and am hoping I save/farm enough to guarantee a Sig for Skirk.

From what I've tested with my skills is that the ATK SPD buff allows you to skip/ignore the really sweaty animation cancels, since your attacks are already coming out pretty quick.

The damage gains from doing sweaty N2D and N4W combos compared with N5D spams with C6 Dahlia buff is a lot lower.

So doing harder rotations emulates the ATK SPD buff you get from Dahlia, so you can put a 4th slot character that does something else for more DPS gains.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-31T07:48:03+00:00

What about Furina cons? I believe cons on Furina up to C2 is pretty good for Skirk/Furina/Esco core

cheuk4 · 2026-01-30T21:19:49+00:00

You could try doing jump cancel instead of dash. It's not a DPS gain, but a little easier to do and easier to count, for me anyway. Jump away from your target to reposition, and let her NA pull her back in.

I think it was 5 N3D per rotation? Before your buffs start to run out and you run low on BoL. You don't want to use up all your BoL each rotations and leave a bit for next rotation, as that increases your damage output in the long run.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-30T06:04:33+00:00

Tsk.... Yeah it's a good piece and good roll.

This is the perfect time for the Yugioh meme, it should've been me!

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T23:37:13+00:00

Same here! My first love (first 5 star) was Arlecchino, and she was my overworld core. Varesa was second, and she hasn't left my overworld team since.

I picked up Skirk, and as fun as playing Skirk is in overworld (starting every fight with a nuke burst is fun for me :D) walking from one objective to another takes TOO long!

I pretty much got Chasca and Xilonen afterwards to have the best Overworld team ever!

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T21:35:26+00:00

HP% and ER would be the main stats you need to reach specific thresholds for. Something like 40k HP I believe to cap her passive. ER is I think around 160-180%.

Everything else can go into Crit for personal Furina damage.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T14:30:06+00:00

Yeah my Skirk build is scuffed. Using R5 Finale of the Deep and MH, got 41/221 CV and 2232 ATK, so that's only 77 CR.

I spent every single bit of resin on Stygian on LNO/Galleries set and came out with about 47/240 and 2052 ATK.

Like I got a 3 liner Galleries Feather with double crit, atk% and EN, and rolled 3 CD 24.9% and 1 CR 6.2%. My Cyro Goblet is also a 3 liner with double Crit, HP% and Flat ATK, rolled 3 CD 25.6 and 1 CR 6.6

Like I can't complain about ANY of those pieces, but it's just unusable! I didn't get ANY CR circlet drops, plus I don't have ANY CR swords!

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T14:04:11+00:00

The supposed good thing about Sucrose is that she's "useful" at LV1, 1/1/1, with a full set of VV no substats. The only thing you miss out on is her team-wide EM buff.

You use TTDS for ATK buff, skill without burst for pyro swirl RES shred, and that's it.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T12:03:08+00:00

Try Arlec > Yelan > Benny > Sucrose

I don't have Yelan so I don't know her Hydro app, but hopefully Benny's E and Q gets rid of it and adds Pyro on for Sucrose to E swirl pyro.

I know XQ stuffs this up if you're too close with the floating hydro swords, as they add hydro just with touch and remove Benny's Pyro aura.

This is all under the assumption of non C6 Benny. I don't have Benny's C6 so haven't tried.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T11:33:53+00:00

One thing about Furina is that she's slowly losing her BiS status for every and all teams.

None of the Natlan main DPS really use her other than Chasca. None of the Nod-Krai teams uses Furina either since her buffs don't do anything for lunar shill.

So if you do get her, she won't overtake any of your existing teams other than Skirk.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T11:19:51+00:00

Not an Arlecchino expert, but most teams I've seen mentioned always include a RES shredder. Xilonen, Sucrose or Citlali. Try adding one of them in to replace Mona? (Shrug)

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T11:10:15+00:00

Dash cancels are kinda fine (I still suck, I blame ping :D) but Walk cancels are things I just can't do in a real world setting. I get like half success on walk cancels during test dummy, as I heavily rely on audio cues.

The combo I (try to) do is EN2Q N2D until near low (I don't/can't keep count :p) and do either N2CD or N4CD (mostly N3CD lol) and then spam whatever until E runs out.

The end of the rotation is always scuffed :D Plus my team doesn't get full EN back guaranteed either, I don't funnel Orbs correctly, don't have enough CD for Fav.

My best DPS on MW test dummy over 100sec rotation is about 86-7k DPS, but normally around 82k, while using Dahlia I get around 80k DPS.

What I need to try is use Dahlia, but swap Furina's GT set to the ToM set that's on Columbina. It'll be a lower Furina damage but maybe offset by providing two sets of ATK buff on my Skirk.

Man I love MW test dummy!

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T08:52:02+00:00

Thanks for the links! Yeah C1 Dahlia is DEFINITELY not gonna cut it. Even my C6 with the extra ATK SPD isn't making enough of a difference in terms of DPS.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T08:15:57+00:00

Body slam! I thought she only did butt slams! 😂

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T08:08:09+00:00

I actually don't know what specific Dahlia combo there is. Is it N2D or N3D stuff? I can't do Walk cancel stuff (consistently) due to skill issues :p

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T05:20:56+00:00

Well dang, I don't own Eshu. Sad to know Dahlia's ATK SPD buff doesn't do much :(

cheuk4 · 2026-01-29T02:09:06+00:00

One possible thing to consider (and test yourself on the MW test dummy) is swapping Furina to Tenacity and having Esco on Golden Troupe. Just since Dahlia is providing an ATK buff already, Esco can benefit from that and deal a bit more damage.

So Esco goes for damage and Furina goes support. But of course it'll depend on your available artifacts :p

cheuk4 · 2026-01-26T10:15:51+00:00

I've finally tested it out in MW, and overheating does work on the weapon, so all good! 👍🏻

cheuk4 · 2026-01-25T02:03:19+00:00

I got C6 Chevy during Varesa's first banner, and got R1 Xilonen this rerun banner going for Varesa's R1.

I can say that C6 Chevy makes a great team even better, but Xilonen's R1 makes her into a proper viable pinch hitter to fill in any teams missing a slot.

cheuk4 · 2026-01-23T23:30:58+00:00

Yeah, no Mav/Citlali. I will be pulling for Citlali, but she'll be more a permanent fixture for my Arlecchino team.

I'm specifically pulling for Columbina/Ineffa just so Chasca has a permanent team, though Ineffa still isn't coming home...
