Azurelight is Skirk's signature weapon, which automatically makes it her best-in-slot weapon. This 5-star sword is tailor-made for Skirk's kit, as it increases the user's ATK and CRIT DMG when they have zero energy. Due to Skirk's unique Energy refilling mechanism, she can take full advantage of this effect, and boost her overall damage.

Players can pull for Azurelight from the weapon banner in the first half of Genshin Impact 5.7.

This free-to-play weapon is one of Skirk's best 4-star weapons. Finale of the Deep is a Fontaine craftable sword, and can provide a huge ATK% buff for Skirk. Since the passive effect of this sword creates a Bond of Life for the user, make sure that you have a good healer on your team who can quickly clear this Bond of Life.
