New Characters in Genshin Impact 5.7 Version

Silkork

Silkork will make her debut in version 5.7 as a new Ice-element character. She wields a one-handed sword and has a unique combat style with complex skill mechanics. Let’s get to know this mysterious Ice-element warrior.

Silkork’s Combat Role

According to reliable leaker Full Stop Chan, Silkork is an Ice-element character who uses a one-handed sword. Her skill mechanics revolve around Ice-element reactions and team synergy, making her highly suitable for players who focus on Ice-element teams.

Silkork’s Skills

Principle Beyond Phenomena

When a nearby character in the party triggers Freezing, Superconduct, Cryo Elemental Spread, or Cryo Elemental Crystallization, a rift in the virtual realm will be created near the enemy. This effect can be triggered at most once every 2.5 seconds, with a maximum of 3 rifts present on the field.
Silkork can absorb these rifts in the following ways:

Through a heavy attack in the Seven-Phase Flash mode
By casting her Elemental Burst, “Eternis”
By performing a quick movement via the charged Elemental Skill, “Flas”

Each absorption grants Silkork 8 points of Serpent’s Cunning.

Flow Returning to Silence

When a nearby Hydro character deals Hydro damage or an Ice character deals Ice damage, Silkork gains a layer of “River Crossing” effect that lasts for 20 seconds, with a maximum of 3 layers. Each layer’s duration is calculated independently.
Each layer of the “River Crossing” effect enhances Silkork’s abilities in the Seven-Phase Flash mode:

Normal attacks deal 110%/120%/170% of their original damage
Elemental Burst “Eternis” deals 105%/115%/160% of its original damage
