Does a team with Skirk, Xingqiu (C2), Charlotte, and Citlali work?

If so, could you guys help me with the rotations?

I ended up pulling Skirk on her last banner, but now she feels pretty much useless on my account since I don’t have Furina or Escoffier.

Yes it the sense that was her inital f2p baseline (minus Cit for Rose/Kaeya) its just it pales in comparison to other 5 star dpses that aren't so dependant on their 5 star supports.

And with how abyss/stygian keeps getting higher at a baseline objectively it isnt a great team but it works so there's that I guess.

Tbh I still dont even have a great 3rd slot for Skirk besides Furina as well and freeze has historically been an expensive team to get going.

You don't have another hydro to use there instead of Charlotte?

I also have Mona, Dahlia, Barbara and Aino

Run Mona. You don't need a healer when you have Citlali as your sustain.

Mona Dahlia Citlali Skirk could be the better team actually now that I think about it, since those guys won't extend your rotation like XQ would.

Won't there be an issue with rifts generation in this team ?

babangelsin2026-01-04 03:17

Nope

Ok 100% there's rift generation issues with that team for me lmao. Even putting Mona on TTDS instead of citlali and having her E after ult, it doesn't quite hit enough times to comfortably do a full rotation in Skirk (could be skill issue but if it is I wouldn't recommend that team regardless)

I actually had a pretty good time with Dahlia-Skirk-Xingqiu-Citlali. Going XQ -> Dahlia -> Citalit -> Skirk was super comfy and all of the cooldowns lined up decently well

Does it work? Yes. It's a fully functional team. Will it reach the heights that Skirk is known for? No. You'll need Escoffier and Furina for that.

Having both Charlotte and Citlali is redundant.

While waiting for Escoffier, use Mona instead of Charlotte.

Then you will have :
- High Dmg bonus while Omen is active (Mona ult), and it lasts while the enemy is frozen that's huge.
- Noblesse buff
- TTDS atk buff
- Hydro resonance.

With Citlali you have also scroll buff, good cryo application a shield for sustain (and it also enables Calamity of Eshu) and hydro shred.

I use exactly this team and my rotation is :
XQ EQE > Citlali EQ > Mona EQ > Skirk

It works very very well. I think it is the best Furina-less and Escoffier-less Skirk team you can get at low cost.

yes but it's not great. You don't need both charlotte and citlali.

Use Mona instead of Charlotte.

Ttds Mona to be more precise.

It "works" as in you at least don't impede on skirk's passives and Xingqiu helps with the freezes, but it's not a good team. Charlotte and Citlali do nothing, healing and shielding is useful but in terms of contribution to the damage charlotte is effevtively 0 and citlali only has her own damage. Xingqiu already provides some interruption resistance so you shouldn't need Citlali's shield on top unless you're really bad at dodging.

Citlali does not shred cryo resistance, only hydro and pyro. Xingqiu doesn't do enough damage to noticeably benefit from it, and Skirk gets nothing out of it. That means half your team are survivability supports that don't or barely affect damage output.

That's why people say Escoffier is pretty much mandatory for skirk. She is the only cryo/hydro character that can provide defense shred for her (and a massive one at that, 55%!). And she brings good damage of her own plus healing, meaning you no longer need charlotte (she takes her place), and you can then replace Citlali with another character that will bring more useful buffs or damage (but with Escoffier's debuffs, Citlali is fine honestly).

TLDR: if she feels useless now she'll feel just as useless with that team. Escoffier is mandatory for Skirk to be strong, anyone claiming otherwise is lying.
