Might be one of the best bursts in the game. Next to Columbina's imo
Cheese_Grater1012026-01-27 12:37
I used to dislike Columbina's burst animation since it's just her opening her eyes.
But then after finishing the Archon Quest, I appreciate it more as her burst really shines with the details in the background.
thisbigdiamond2026-01-27 13:30
Her burst is her aura farming what else can u want
goldroger022026-01-27 14:07
I think bina's burst sound was nerfed. In the first days she launched her burst did a hard bass surround sound.
But maybe it was patched and I can't ear it anymore. It feels like her burst is really silent now. Can someone confirm this?
Lemonade_Boy_072026-01-27 15:21
I think its still there, but less prominent. I remember when I got her one of the first things i did was mute all sfx and music and kept all dialogue up to hear her singing voice during attacks. During her burst I recall hearing a real low bassy sound. Might have to recheck it.
TeaseBunBun2026-01-27 16:08
i also wish her normal attack singing was a little louder too
noodlesandrice12026-01-27 13:32
Less is more I suppose.
Keeping Columbina’s movements to a minimum helps highlight the background more.
SectorApprehensive582026-01-27 13:40
only thing i dislike is how gigantic the moon is in the background. The moon only looks good if you have a super ultra wide monitor, ultrawide doesn't cut it
Cheese_Grater1012026-01-27 13:45
She is designed with ultrawide in mind 🤣
Honest_Milk_82742026-01-27 13:49
I originally thought she would have two modes, because of the reference to the flowers' colors: red, for DPS, and blue, for support.
Kuuhenkhi also comes in two colors.
In the end, it seems they scrapped the idea completely.
Just_Roll_Already2026-01-27 15:03
Her burst being associated with that cutscene was so perfect. I really wish that they used the climax from [this song](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1n3s0ot/nodkrai_main_theme_live_performance_genshin_impact/?tl=hi-latn&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Specifically the note that Aurora hits at 3:30 is just beautiful. Imagine syncing her sudden appearance with that...

So good that I regret not pulling Escoffier. And now I’m waiting for a rerun that probably won’t happen until god knows when, because Cryo.
Draoken2026-01-27 14:41
Not sure if leak discussions are allowed but escoffier is supposed to run 6.4, most likely second banner
HiRedditOmg2026-01-27 14:52
Escoffier is rerunning next patch along with Skirk, Varka and Flins.
bibicrave1772026-01-27 13:51
Clorinde burst is a masterpiece as well. Bring me back to genshin
Skirk tearing open the firmament before it was cool.
Nero_PR2026-01-27 13:25
Funny because she couldn't do it herself and Surtalogi was the one who let her in in Teyvat.
Mi5tman2026-01-27 13:27
Well, she came to Teyvat to get stronger. Seems like it's working.
snitch222026-01-27 13:53
Skirk probably learned that from Surtalogi.
Nero_PR2026-01-27 14:33
Surtalogi seems to be the type of threat or an unlikely ally that will only come into play after the Teyvat chapter ends. HoYo has slowly but surely building up that Teyvat will inevitably be discovered by the Abyss main forces and finally be truly invaded as it is one of the few remaining planets somewhat thriving in a dying universe.
It's possible we could even see the planet being moved or flung (transported/teleported) somewhere far away into the universe next to some other system if things become that dire.
gareth_gahaland2026-01-27 14:43
Didn't someone say in the last AQ that the shit Dottore caused made Teyvat detectable by the outside universe ?
Neospartan_1172026-01-27 14:46
Nicole said that, and given her position you can belive her.
Physical-Command21302026-01-27 15:20
I believe nicole more than anything at this, both abyss, fatui, HP are just too sus. Only Archons and Hez can only be trusted.
Darkclowd032026-01-27 18:57
Even Rhinedottir?
Nine9breaker2026-01-28 00:13
I think Rhinedottir has been getting sanewashed by the story recently. Its probably going to turn out she had some altruistic reasons once her banner gets closer.
But no, she still shouldn't be trusted.
I don't think Alice should be fully trusted either.
She's like, the platonic ideal of an unreliable narrator. Since you know, she's aware she's narrating and can thus say or withhold information at will *directly to us*.
iamonlyslightlysalty2026-01-28 04:42
I really, REALLY hope they don't try to make us empathise/side with Rhinedottir.
I don't really concern myself with Hexzenzirkel lore too much, but I'd find it really interesting if we reach a point where Albedo and During actually OPPOSE her worldview and outright act against her. Frankly there's no redeeming what she's done.
iamonlyslightlysalty2026-01-28 04:39
even among the Hexzenzirkel, the only witches I trust for sure are Nicole and Barbeloth. I have never once had even the slightest bit of faith in Alice beyond the belief in her love for Klee
JunWasHere2026-01-27 17:58
Maybe the Genshin Impact is the Star Rails we Honkai along the way.
NetNGames2026-01-27 23:44
Actually curious if Teyvat is in an Amphoreus sort of situation.
megustaALLthethings2026-01-28 03:59
I wouldn’t be surprised to find it was ANOTHER cosmic experiment.
Snoo-101402026-01-28 04:51
Lol imagine the climax of Genshin, surrounded on all sides by the Abyss, when all hope seems lost, then suddenly a glimmer in the night sky, turns into a light, out comes the Astral Express to provide assistance and reinforcement.
Komiisimp2026-01-27 13:49
Where can I read her lore? (Yes I didn't pay attention during quests)
DarkAlatreon2026-01-27 14:08
You can literally google "skirk lore" and the first result will bring you to the genshin wiki.

nope look carefully, she creates it from her tail
Nexius_2026-01-27 13:16
she does not do that
Gervh2026-01-27 13:23
She creates it from the shards of broken reality, that is basically what she told Tartag to do in the next step of his training, after he mastered the tangible weaponry
Relevant_Milk62752026-01-27 13:25
and her tail is basically made of that.
Gervh2026-01-27 13:30
Yes but in this case, she doesn't use it for that, she still has it when the sword is already formed

The false sky gets covered in giant r\*nova's eyes with camera sliding down and back to show more of it, until it gets behind Capitano's back.
Camera circles around him and gets away, showing him standing alone on a dead scorched rocky plain, then zooms back to him giving the indomitable khaenriah middle finger to the sky.
*"Unleashes the power of one with the strength to surpass a god to annihilate even the strongest foes. Enemies in 50-meter radius take 150% of target's max hp as pure damage.

Don't forget about Ayaka's! It still gives me chills when I use the burst to finish a boss in abyss

It also gives the boss chills
Adventurous-Day-67382026-01-27 13:43

xBetrayer2026-01-27 13:13
This! I had pulled her solely for the burst
Adventurous-Day-67382026-01-27 13:40
She's number 6 for me it's honestly so well animated especially when you see it from a 3rd person pov. People calling it a "keqing" burst are doing it an absolute disservice.
Just_Roll_Already2026-01-27 14:43
The delivery that Yui Ishikawa gives for Clorinde's burst animation is perfect too. The way she delivers the line shows Clorinde's perfectionism and control over a really chaotic attack.

BoneArrowFour2026-01-27 17:44
I actually love Raiden's burst WITHOUT the cut-in. Just a simple, static, no-nonsense movement that (used to) causes a lot of damage.
jyusatsu2026-01-27 14:32
Fr he's the reason I played Genshin
ThrowawayAdvice18002026-01-27 22:57
I love Zhongli's just because him sitting there all calm and mildly annoyed while summoning a friggin' asteroid never stops being awesome. I don't care if it's a DPS loss, every time it's ready to go I hit the apocalypse button.
Reminds me of that time Fry asked the giant brain what killed the dinosaurs and it goes "ME!"

I know it's a DPS loss, but playing burst Skirk just feels and looks so much better
NekonecroZheng2026-01-27 13:32
It's not really. You can play burst skirk and still skill. So long as you skill on all supports (ideally furina, shenhe and escoffier), then hold skirk skill, and then go back to supports and burst. Then by the time you go back to skirk, you can burst fully buffed and then your skill should be ready to NA.
IS_Mythix2026-01-27 13:59
Yes tho it is a dps loss because of extending rotations, however u can use burst nuke skirk with another dps for a dual dps comp and it’s pretty fun
NekonecroZheng2026-01-27 14:36
It really depends. If you need lots of dps in a short time frame (enemy vulnerability) then its very useful. In SO, you have no energy, so this rotation is better so that your supports have time to get burst up. In abyss, you already have skirk's burst up, so its good for a first rotation, and you don't loose any time.
kaeporo2026-01-27 15:05
This. Sustained DPS is only relevant when hoyo says it is. Skirk is fortunate to have options.
DarkFuryKH2026-01-27 15:19
That's what I love about Skirk, her playstyle is very flexible and6 some situations, burst then skill can be very useful for short damage windows against bosses or finishing off enemies
Lycanthoss2026-01-27 14:19
It's also pretty convenient to save some seconds on farming content. My stygian artifact farming and some domains consist of just dropping Furina E -> Escoffier E -> Citlali E -> Skirk Q, so the clears are just 8 seconds.
h2odragon002026-01-27 19:51
Burst Skirk is really nice to do on weekly bosses.
You drop all of your skill, walk around a bit, then drop a BIG ult, use skill to charge up your ult again, and walk around until your ult goes off cd.
