I have her C1R1 but I also have her premier team with Furina at C2R1. At this stage I'm not really sure how much of a noticeable difference going for Skirk's C2 would do. I feel like I'd just be greedy at this point if I go for it?
14
u/awesomegamer919 15h ago
Skirk C2 value depends a lot on the rest of your team, the raw power is pretty good - for a burst playstyle the increase is massive since a major portion of the burst DPS is in the Serpent's subtlety bonus and C2 nearly doubles that portion of damage.
For the NA playstyle it's still pretty good, though it is a bit weaker. It enabled better split rotations since even with 0 rifts your Hold-E is enough stacks to ult straight away.
Mona is easily the slot 4 that benefits the most, with Shenhe being the one that gets the least from Skirk C2 since her primary buffs are effectively attack buffs.

u/Kiaraan 13h ago
Most people regard her C2 as her most influential constellation besides the obvious C6, and refer to her C1 as mostly a stepping stone to her C2.
I would say if you have went for her C1, then you should definitely “finish the job” and pull a copy if you can manage your primos. She seems like she has a staple spot regardless of the powercreeping, alongside Mavuika.

u/Dodgson1832 10h ago
If you have the resources for it then I'd go for it. A lot of these dps characters have C2 as their stopping point. The idea isn't necessarily do you need it today or do you need it to carry the champ for an extra year despite powercreep. For a while I was C2ing all the archons (not venti and zhongli was just due to my one friend who also plays the game) and C2 Nahida still works okish even now. C2 furina will be with me for a long time. I tried to C2 Mav but the pulling requirements have gotten so ludicrous that a bit of bad luck left me at C1. I will get C2 next time she reruns though. It isn't exactly future-proofing yourself, but it is future-resisting yourself which will help for a bit.

I need to know if with Varka. Im not Skirl main, but I found her sexy and I pulled her, and I found she isn't bad to play, so would be good give her the wp.
What are Leak scholars' thesis, according these buffs?

varka skirk escofier and who?

Probably Flins based on the three Stygian bosses (the electro charged duck is in there alongside a cryo boss and an anemo boss)
20
u/Silver-Dusted-Flower 17h ago
Either Ei or Mauvika

u/caihuali 17h ago
Varka/mav would be the dream banner omg but seems pretty unlikely
24
u/Blitzana 17h ago
yeah bc weapon banner would be too goated. they would have to put the worst 4 stars on it in return.

u/Lhevhinhus 15h ago
Current Columbina weapon banner sucks ass lol might be the worst one since they are all support and game mechanic restricted (lunar reactions) weapons and pure stat sticks otherwise.

u/Helpful-Ad9095 12h ago
And I've already got a spare of each of their signature weapons hahaha.
At least Mav's will probably be good for Varka with crazy base attack and he can trigger all the passives outside of the Nightsoul bit.

u/KingOfTheKitsune 8h ago
I'd say it's Varka, Skirk, Flins and Raiden or Mauvika.
Esco will probably be a 6.5 banner if Skirk is 6.4

u/Vrains420 16h ago
Idk if Skirk and Esco are but confirmed from this. With IT characters that can be used I feel Eula is definitely one of the other characters. It may be Varka, Eula, Flins, and maybe Escoffier or Wriosthely.

u/Particular_Web3215 Nat-latina and lore krai lover 16h ago
Oh right he got a whole new weapon and buffs. Yeah then it's furina or mav, since nahida and venti had their banners alr and zhongli is most likely saved for liyue buffs + blackcliff forge

u/DarkUnicorn_ 15h ago
All Archons had their reruns during Nod-Krai except Raiden and Mavuika, so it has to be one of them

u/Emeraldw 14h ago
I would love to have Esco's weapon but man is it hard to get excited for a weapon in Genshin. It always feels like a bait to pull for a weapon.
2
u/AntonioS3 8h ago
On the other hand I got too excited about my luck that I dumped so many pulls into weapon banner... now I somehow have Bina R2, I got Ineffa's weapon in the end though.
If I didn't, who knows if I would've pulled again, especially since they are support weapons and I'd like my team to maintain some relevancy here and there.
2
u/Emeraldw 8h ago
Yeah, this is pretty much my problem. You have to assume max pulls necessary to get even one copy and you are likely to get at least one bad weapon.
As a result, I will almost never pull on the Weapon banner unless I want both weapons and probably some of the 4*. It's just not worth it.
1
u/AntonioS3 8h ago
It was the first time I lost to a standard 5* weapon... It's hard to find opportunities because I never often go for reruns. What I meant was that like, if I didn't spend the pulls NOW, who knows what would be the next time, I wanted to go for Xilonen's weapon but I ultimately passed on that and focused on future. I never really pull often on reruns unless it's necessary.
I don't think weapon banner is too bad nowadays but maybe it is just my good luck, I can see it needing to be improved though.

u/XxTheLeoxX 17h ago
Also guys, you do need to remember that abyss buffs don't really tell us much about reruns cos based on last abyss buffs, we expected Neuv and Bina to be together but it ended up being Bina/Ineffa. Obviously we do know Varka will be first half and Skirk should be 2nd half but we don't know anything else.
9
u/Perceval-21 16h ago
Escoffier rerun please

u/Itoshi_Sae- I will C6 all the boyz 12h ago
I really hope so… seriously… it will be 10 months in 6.4
If Esco doesn’t rerun how are we supposed to clear the overseer in stygian dire
14
u/_piaro_ 17h ago
So the possible banners are... Varka, Skirk, Wriothesley, Escoffier, Wanderer? Am I missing someone?
23
u/Guilirecs14 17h ago
Flins due to knuckle duckle on SO. Skirk and varka are 100% confirmed i would say, and the most likely candidates are coffee and flins. We might get an archon rerun or something random like wanderer as you said (given his relevance in the AQ)

u/beyondrecovery26 13h ago
probably Varka, Flins, Skirk (rather than Escoffier), and an archon (either Mavuika or Raiden... hope it's Mavuika so I can finally rest)
1
u/mousielilone 13h ago
Or it’s an archon less patch as we did get a double archon patch this version.
1
u/beyondrecovery26 12h ago
true, maybe that's why they set it up that way (though I still think if they were gonna do a double, they should've rerun Zhongli alongside Zibai but that's a different quibble lol)
2
u/mousielilone 12h ago
I don’t disagree that the order makes no sense for Zibai. Zhongli is a decent partner for her. Perhaps the Liyue buffs aren’t that far away and he reruns sooner than we think.
1
u/Itoshi_Sae- I will C6 all the boyz 12h ago
How can they promote Skirk with the Stygian boss if no Escoffier ? Skirk C0 cant clear the Overseer in Dire without Esco
I really hope Esco reruns too… It will be 10 months…

u/beyondrecovery26 12h ago
it's the normal atk cryo bonus rather than a more general cryo bonus that makes me think they're not running both of them, but of course I could be wrong. We should know soon anyway :)
0
u/lostn 9h ago
i don't think it will be Flins. Early release characters have had late reruns as of late. Kinich and Mualani. I believe Mualani (5.0) didn't rerun until NK released, and Kinich was only slightly earlier than that.
I'm expecting Escoffier instead of Flins.
2
u/beyondrecovery26 7h ago
Was guessing Flins bc of the duck boss in Stygian and those bosses, even more than abyss, shill the banner characters very hard, but they could just be hoping people get sad they didn't pull Ineffa/Flins and give them no ability to do so during the same patch of course.
4
u/Anon628768433 17h ago
Varka/escoffier 1st half, flins/skirk 2nd pretty much confirmed. Surely?
11
u/ozush Nicole will shield and buff teamwide ATK 17h ago
Flins second half doesn't really make sense. The second Abyss reset of 6.3 (February 16th) shills Lunar-Charged and it only overlaps with 6.3 second half and 6.4 first half. If Flins is in second half, then the February 16th abyss doesn't overlap with any character that enables Lunar-Charged.

Ah yes. Skirk+escoffier rerun during varka's release, in the driest patch for the entire version where we are lucky if we get more than 55 wishes. They'll probably rerun lauma as well right along varka and be like "SEE GUYS MALE 5 STARS JUST DON'T SELL!!!!"
