Base Stats

Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo Character that wields a Polearm in Genshin Impact. She mainly functions as an Off-Field damage dealer on Hydro and Cryo teams providing powerful damage and shred Resistance to Hydro and Cryo. In Genshin Impact's Lore, Escoffier was an ex-chef at Hotel Debord and has created various famous pastries in Fontaine.

Escoffier's Tier & Rating

Escoffier, in-battle, mainly serves as an Off-Field Character and a Survivability character. She can deal powerful damage with instant damage with Elemental Burst and provides consistent but powerful damage on single enemies with Elemental Skill. She works amazing on Freeze (Hydro + Cryo) Teams with characters that gets their damage from Attack Stat.

Basics Of Using Escoffier

Escoffier is relatively easy to use as compared to other Sub-DPS.When using her you just need to take note of 2 things: Cold Storage Mode and Team Composition.

Use Elemental Skill (Tap) to Enter Cold Storage Mode

Cold Storage Mode is simply the "summon" of Escoffier. Tap the Elemental Skill button and it will summon a Tray that will constantly shoot opponents with attacks dealing constant Cryo damage. After Ascending to unlock level 40 you will unlock the Passive Ability, Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning, allowing the attacks from Cold Storage Mode will gain another ability to reduce Resistance of the enemies hit by the attack.

Reduced Resistance is Based on Hydro & Cryo Characters in the Team

The amount of Cryo and Hydro Resistance shred that the Elemental Skill of Escoffier provides depends on the number of Hydro and Cryo characters in the team. If you do not have a full Hydro and Cryo team, the amount of shred gets reduced by 40% or more so we highly recommend using only Hydro and Cryo in Escoffier teams.

Best Build for Escoffier

The main source of damage from Escoffier is from her Elemental Skill. We find that increasing the damage of Escoffier's Elemental Skill will give the most contribution to the team and is the best method of building for Escoffier.

Best Build Set for Escoffier Details

Substitute	1. Staff Of Homa 2. Lumidouce Elegy 3. Tamayuratei No Ohanashi (F2P)
Best	Golden Troupe x4
Main Stat	Sands: ATK% Goblet: ATK% or Cryo DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate / DMG
Priority Sub Stat	CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > Energy Recharge > ATK%
Premium Team

Stat Goals For Escoffier

To increase the damage of Escoffier's Elemental Skill, we recommend using Golden Troupe set for its ability to increase Elemental Skill Damage. Escoffier is often off-field making the damage bonus from the artifact increase by 75%. Because of this high amount of DMG Bonus to Elemental Skill, you can opt to use ATK% goblet instead of Cryo DMG Bonus goblet.

Since Escoffier is often paired with the same element, the Energy Recharge is reduced to 130% for consistent activation of Elemental Burst. This can be ignored if Escoffier is in a team that does not require frequent healing.

Best Weapon for Escoffier

The weapon choices for Escoffier are mostly weapons that increases CRIT Rate, CRIT Damage, and ATK Statuses. Many options work but the damage of Escoffier varies based on the weapon used.

Premium Weapons for Escoffier

	Weapon	How to Get Review
Best	Symphonist Of Scents	Get from Limited Banners - Signature weapon of Escoffier. - Greatly increases the ATK of Escoffier. - Also allows Escoffier to buff other teammates' Attack greatly.
2nd	Staff Of Homa	Get from Limited Banners - CRIT stat is good for increasing Escoffier's damage. - ATK Bonus based on Max HP is good for Escoffier's healing and damage.
3rd	Lumidouce Elegy	Get from Limited Banners - CRIT stat is good for Escoffier's damage. - While Escoffier will be unable to trigger any Dendro and Pyro reactions, the ATK increase buff and the high ATK stat is good for Escoffier's damage and healing.
4th	Deathmatch	Get from Premium Battle Pass - Deathmatch serves a similar purpose to Lumidouce Elegy's effect to Escoffier. - ATK buff is improved when against one enemy only. - At R5, this weapon is competitive to 5 star options.
5th	Skyward Spine	Get from Weapon / Normal Banners - This weapon provides much needed Energy Recharge and has a high Base ATK + a bit of CRIT making it a decent pick for Escoffier.

Symphonist of Scents is the best weapon for Escoffier. This does not only give plenty of ATK buff for Escoffier, allowing her to focus on DMG Bonus on Artifacts, it also provides an additional ATK Bonus for the on-field character furthering the support capabilities of Escoffier. The weapon having CRIT Sub-Stat also helps on making it easier to build Escoffier. For other premium options, any 5 Star Polearm can work especially if they have CRIT Stats or huge attack bonus.

Free To Play Frienly Weapon (F2P) Options for Escoffier

	Weapon	How to Get Review
Best	Tamayuratei No Ohanashi	Get from Limited Event - Event-limited weapon that is great for increasing ATK and Energy Recharge. - While it's not a CRIT weapon, Escoffier can still use the ATK buff and Energy Recharge to help in ER management.
2nd	Missive Windspear	Get from Limited Event - Great for the massive ATK buff given by substat and Weapon Skill when Escoffier triggers an Elemental Reaction.
3rd	Favonius Lance	Get from Weapon / Normal Banners - Good for Energy management. - Needs CRIT Rate from artifacts to consistently trigger the Energy Particle generation Skill. - This weapon allows Escoffier to give energy to the team but weakens her damage.

For free to play option, the event weapon Tamayuratei No Ohanashi is the best choice. It does not only provide Energy Recharge allowing easier build, at R5 (which is obtained by most people who has the weapon) it increases ATK by 40%.

Best Artifacts for Escoffier

Escoffier's Best Artifact set is without a doubt, Golden Troupe Set. Based on our plays with Escoffier, Elemental Skill damage is the part of Escoffier's kit that contributes the most to the team and the other aspects of Escoffier's kit like healing is powerful enough without the support of artifact sets. If you do not have a complete set, see artifact list below for substitute or temporary sets while farming for Golden Troupe.

Artifact Options for Escoffier

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Golden Troupe	★★★★★ - Massive buff to Elemental Skill damage. - Skill damage buff increases when off-field.
Blizzard Strayer	★★★★・ - Buffs Cryo DMG & CRIT Rate if the enemy is affected by Cryo or Frozen. - Good against enemies that can be Frozen. - This does not work against un-freezable enemies like World Bosses making it situational.
Noblesse Oblige	★★★・・ - Good for Buffing the team but decreases the power of Elemental Skill of Escoffier. - Other characters use this better than Albedo.
	★★★・・ - Good for increasing the damage of Escoffier and is easier to farm compared to others. - You can use this while you are still farming 4 piece Golden Troupe.

For Goblet, The Main Stats Depends On The Weapon Used

Golden Troupe provides plenty of damage bonus already allowing you to focus on ATK. However, if you have the Signature Weapon of Escoffier, it will provide plenty of attack allowing you to use Cryo DMG Bonus as a main status. Choose the Goblet with better sub-stats.

Best Team Composition for Escoffier

Escoffier Is Best Used As Sub-DPS

Sub-DPS	DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Escoffier	Ayaka	Furina	Shenhe
Details
- Escoffier's healing from her Burst can be used for Furina's fanfare stacking. - Freeze team with only Hydro and Cryo to max out Escoffier's RES shred debuff.

In our trials in using Escoffier, we find that Furina and Escoffier works amazing together because of Escoffier's healing and Hydro Resistance Shred. Both are off-field characters so you can slot an on-field character like Ayaka or Wriothesley and support like Shenhe or another Hydro or Cryo Sub-DPS like Yelan.

Team Rotation of Escoffier & Combos

Basic Rotation of Escoffier

Escoffier is very easy to use. You just need to tap Elemental Skill and switch to other characters. The Elemental Burst of Escoffier is a powerful move if you want huge damage to happen right away. Make sure to use Elemental Skill first then leave it running for the Elemental Shred to happen then use Elemental Burst. You can also use Elemental Burst as an emergency healing button.

Rotation With Furina

When using Escoffier with Furina, the timing of Elemental Burst is important for "Fanfare Stacks" of Furina to gain faster. Use the Elemental Burst of Escoffier then use Furina's Elemental Burst for continues Fanfare generation.

You can also opt to delay the Elemental Burst of Escoffier and use the skills of other characters in the middle for a quicker Fanfare Stacks built up but this has a lot of risk. The rotation above is the safer method of using Furina and Escoffier.

Elemental Skill and Burst of Escoffier

What Kind of Character is Escoffier?

Freeze Support That Reduces Enemies’ Elemental Damage Resistance

Escoffier is a Freeze support and sub-DPS who can reduce enemies' Elemental Damage RES for Hydro and Cryo. She needs a team of Cryo and Hydro to improve her debuff. Hits from her Elemental Skill will apply the debuff on the enemy.

Elemental Skill of Escoffier

Elemental Skill for Off-Field Damage and Random Dishes

Escoffier's Elemental Skill summons a Mek with two (2) modes. The Tap version deals damage to enemies while the Hold version makes it work like the Parametric Transformer to give a random dish.

Elemental Burst of Escoffier

Elemental Burst for Instant Healing

Escoffier's Elemental Burst deals AoE Cryo damage and instantly heals the team. Activating the passive Better to Salivate Than Medicate, using Elemental Burst will be followed by continues heals. This Elemental Burst, even without investments in Artifact, is enough to heal the whole team even with Furina's Self Damage.

Should You Pull for Escoffier's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

For Buffing Cryo, We Recommend C1

Constellation VS Signature Weapon
C1 ≧ Symphonist Of Scents > C2

If you want to further the Cryo DMG of Escoffier and other Cryo DPS in your team, we recommend pulling for the Constellation1 of Escoffier. While the buff is only limited to Cryo Attacks, it is able to give 60% CRIT Damage by just having Hydro and Cryo characters in the team.

If You Want To Buff Outside Cryo Characters, Signature Weapon Is Better

However, if you want to focus on buffing non-Cryo characters with Escoffier, prioritizing her Signature Weapon is recommended. This buff, however is limited to ATK so it does not work with characters that does not scale from it like Neuvillette.
