Genshin Impact: Skirk and her Azurelight Weapon

05/08/2025 RPG

Get ready, Genshin Impact players! Leaks suggest the upcoming 5.7 update will introduce a new playable character: Skirk, a sword-wielding powerhouse. Even more exciting are the leaks surrounding her signature weapon, the Azurelight.

Azurelight's Stats and Abilities

Based on leaks, the Azurelight, at level 90 and refinement rank 1, boasts impressive stats. It offers a base ATK of 608 and a secondary stat of 33.1% CRIT Rate. Its passive effect is a game changer: casting the Elemental Skill increases the wielder's ATK by 24%. But that's not all – when the wielder has zero Elemental Energy, their ATK is boosted by another 24%, and CRIT DMG gets a massive 40% increase! This makes it a potentially game-changing weapon for the right build.

Farming Azurelight Materials

Leveling up the Azurelight requires several materials. You'll need various tiers of Night-Wind's Mystic artifacts (obtained from the Natlan's Ancient Watchtower domain), Refractive Buds, Bewildering Broadleaf, and Illusory Leafcoil (dropped by the Tenebrous Mimesis), and different types of Whistles (from Saurian Warriors). Remember to check the domain availability days. Masterless Stardust and Starglitter from the in-game shop can also help you acquire these resources.

With its high base ATK, significant CRIT Rate, and powerful passive effect, the Azurelight promises to be a highly sought-after weapon. However, the conditional nature of its passive – requiring zero Elemental Energy – means it might not be optimal for every character. Nonetheless, the ATK and CRIT Rate bonuses alone make it a strong contender for many builds.
