A new Genshin Impact leak reveals more details about Effie, including an appearance possibly similar to Pecorine.

Effie may be an ideal teammate for Skirk and Furina, supporting Freeze teams with group healing.

The trend of introducing characters together risks displeasing players but aims for profitability.

A recent leak in the Genshin Impact community has given players a detailed description of Effie and Skirk – two upcoming 5-Star characters. While Version 5.5 is set to be an exciting update to Genshin Impact, many players see the second half of Natlan as Skirk's time to shine. As the mentor of Tartaglia, and the apprentice to Surtalogi, Skirk is perfectly positioned to connect the Traveler and Paimon to the darkest secrets of Khaenri'ah and the Abyss.

From a gameplay standpoint, Skirk in Genshin Impact is assumed to be a Cryo Sword character, and the developers have teased that she will become playable by the end of Spring 2025. On the other hand, Effie is a complete unknown. She is rumored to be a chef from Fontaine, but her element and weapon type are a mystery. According to datamined information, Effie is expected to launch in Version 5.6, but Skirk could feasibly make her debut in the same patch as well.
