Skirk is a strong Cryo DPS chracter with 2 playstyles: Normal Attack Main DPS or Burst Sub DPS. She gets damage amplification when set up with only Cryo and Hydro teammates, with up to 170% increased Normal Attack DMG and 160% Burst DMG. So it's quite important to meet that requirement to get the most out of her talent.

Best Artifacts

(2) Cryo DMG Bonus +15%
(4) When the equipping Character has 0 Elemental Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 60% and Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 60%. After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the aforementioned Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the aforementioned Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.
Best and most consistent set specifically designed for Skirk, with up to 75% applicable DMG Bonus for her.
(2) ATK +18%.
(4) If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.
Provides 35% DMG Bonus for Normal Attack Skirk.
(2) Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15%.
(4) When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.
IMPORTANT: Only use with Furina in the team. Otherwise, you won't be able to consistently get the 4-pc effect. Also, this provides CRIT Rate for CRIT consistency, but with much lower DMG Bonus from the set, you need more CRIT DMG rolls to get equivalent performance from Finale.
(2) Cryo DMG Bonus +15%
(4) When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.
An alternative for getting more effective CRIT Rate, but only fully works with freezable enemies.
(2) Cryo DMG Bonus +15%
(4) When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.

After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the aforementioned Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the aforementioned Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.
Temporary set if you really don't have better options. The total of 30% DMG Bonus applies to both Normal Attack and Burst playstyle at least.

Skirk doesn't need ER because of her unique Burst mechanics, nor does she need EM because she wants to be in Freeze teams.

Good craftable alternative. Need a healer to clear the BOL and get the ATK buff.
