Genshin Impact 5.7 Features Skirk and Dahlia Characters

Upcoming Characters in Genshin Impact: Skirk and Dahlia

The highly anticipated update 5.7 of Genshin Impact is set to introduce two intriguing characters: Skirk, the mentor of the well-known character Childe, and a newcomer named Dahlia. While both characters will debut in this update, the order of their release remains under wraps. Current speculation leans towards Skirk being a five-star character, though Dahlia’s classification as either a four-star or five-star unit is yet to be confirmed.

Introducing Skirk: The Void Star

Skirk’s backstory is intertwined with the lore of Fatui Harbinger Tartaglia (Childe).Having found him in the Abyss during his childhood, she took him under her wing and became his mentor. As a Cryo character, Skirk holds the title of “Void Star, ”and her Constellation is known as Crystallina. A notable detail from her social media introduction hints that she was selected for her role during the catastrophic events surrounding Khaenri’ah’s fall.

Dahlia: The Herald of Barbatos

In contrast, less information is available about Dahlia, making his upcoming release a fresh reveal for many fans. He marks the return of new characters from Mondstadt after a significant hiatus. Serving as a deacon within the church, akin to Barbara and Rosaria, Dahlia is identified as a Herald of Barbatos, known as the Ode and Oblation. This Hydro character’s Constellation is called Cantus Choralis, and he is reported to participate in drinking contests to help others navigate their troubles, as mentioned by Jean.
