A little glad I accidentally skipped Escoffier and no longer need to plan for Skirk, or go for the latter without feeling pressured to metaproof my investments. This leaked character, if true, speaks more to me.
Said character functions like Nilou without the restrictions. Looks like Hoyo is learning from its mistakes for team comp restriction. Honestly though, I think it's simply a matter of, if you run X/X/X members of a specific element, you get Y/Y/Y buffs, and if you don't, you're not penalized, which is more or less the same, because you won't get to play the character at optimal levels. Semantics matter.
Battle 3 Different Boss Levels with 3 Different Teams
Selectable Artifact Rewards
New Reward, Dust of Enlightenment (Basically Artifact Reroll Item) - 3 from Stygian Onslaught (This new endgame event) per Version - 1 from RM40 Paid BP - 1 from RM80 Paid BP upgrade - 2 from In-Game Mail (One time only)
TLDR; Guarantees 2 Substat Rolls Across 2 Selected Substats
Skirk really that good? I'm torn between pulling for Skirk, or Mavuika R1 or future Nod-Krai characters. Not enough primos
Without Escobar her damage comparable to Razor. And her teammate is very restrictive. Escobar, Furina, Shenhe. Replacing them with any other will affect her damage.
So my take is: She'll probably end up just like cryo DPS before her, gets out of spotlight very fast and goes into cryo jail while future cryo supports abandoning her.
Don't get me wrong, I like her a lot. But considering what she will become I decided not to draw even I have Escobar. I better wait for incoming Nod-krai characters.

even without escoffier her damage is still not that bad. Skirk is only bad if the enemy is the type that you cannot freeze and other water/hydro reactions etc to create void rifts so her elemental skill can't be extended (for example natlan's talent material domain).
