As a Sub-DPS
A great Cryo Applicator with superb off-field damage and 100% uptime while also being incredibly simple to use, Escoffier is our brand new core member for Freeze teams. While she has a comparable personal damage as an Emilie or Chiori in their best conditions, Escoffier also provides offensive utility and healing that makes her a must-have for Freeze in comparison.
You can also use Escoffier as an off-field Cryo Applicator for Melt or other Cryo reactions. Her playstyle and consistency in uptime is accessible enough to make use of her kit even outside of her intended teams.
As a Support
Has restrictions in having Cryo and Hydro in the team similar to Chevreuse to fully utilize her debuffs. Escoffier does have the benefit of allowing the player to substitute one Cryo or Hydro for another, and while it won't be as effective, it also wouldn't outright disable her RES Shred. She elevates Freeze teams, who are currently underrepresented and way behind our current meta. For players with Ayaka or future Freeze carries, she currently exists as both a niche and a must-have character who enables the team archetype back into relevance. We're conservatively placing her at the top of the S-tier for now until the meta shifts drastically to Cryo.

Escoffier Ascension and Talent Materials
Strengths | |||
---|---|---|---|
• Simple one-button-rules-all playstyle due to her Elemental Skill being her most consistent damage tool with 100% uptime, also making her the best Cryo applicator in the game as of now. • Effective even at low investments due to her RES shred being tied to a passive that only scales with the number of Hydro and Cryo teammates. • Provides good burst healing that scales with ATK. • Elemental Skill has an alternate function that allows her to cook up 4 unique dishes. |
|||
Weaknesses | |||
• Essentially glued to Freeze teams as her RES shred's effectiveness drastically goes down if she is placed anywhere else. |
Escoffier can be built as a Sub-DPS with CRIT Stats, or as a RES shred support, focusing on ATK and Energy Recharge for comfortable Elemental Bursts.
As for the rest of her build, Escoffier benefits the most in both roles by utilizing Golden Troupe, but can opt to specialize into Blizzard Strayer as a Freeze DPS, or Noblesse Oblige as a Support.

Escoffier can be built for dealing damage thanks to her RES shred passives, indirectly increasing the amount of damage of every Hydro and Cryo member in the party.
With that in mind, building CRIT with Escoffier becomes an option, but do take note that you still want a comfortable amount of ATK% and Energy Recharge to keep her supportive capabilities enabled.

Escoffier as a Support prioritizes her Elemental Burst's effectiveness with her Elemental Skill only being used for brief Cryo application and particle generation.
Should you wish to focus on her heals, go for more ATK% instead of CRIT as that generally results in more healing. You can also choose to use ATK% Main Stat for the Sands if your Energy is already enough to use it off-cooldown.
Escoffier's general best-in-slot artifact set would be the 4-pc. Golden Troupe that fulfills both her roles as a Sub-DPS and Support, as it offers her the highest personal DMG increase while keeping build flexibility.
If you want to specialize into her Support role however, then utilizing Noblesse Oblige or Tenacity of the Millelith could help her support her team with ATK buffs.

List of Artifacts and Set Bonuses
Escoffier can use a wide variety of Polearms depending on her use case, with Support Escoffier utilizing ER or ATK-boosting weapons like Calamity Queller or Favonius Lance, and Sub-DPS Escoffier using weapons like Staff of Homa or Engulfing Lightning.
Narrowing it down, Escoffier's weapon choices will depend entirely on which stats she is lacking from her artifact rolls, so that makes nearly every utility Polearm a good option for her.

Maximizing Escoffier's effectiveness demands putting her in a Freeze team as her RES shred potential is stunted if she is placed anywhere else.
However, that does not fully limit Escoffier's use cases, and she can still be placed into other teams as a general-use Support with shred capabilities for any Hydro or Cryo ally.

Escoffier's potential is maximized if solely placing her in Freeze teams with only Hydro and Cryo characters as it enables her to shred Cryo and Hydro RES by 55%.
For Hydro, Furina perfectly complements Escoffier's heals and off-field Hydro application, making her a must have for Escoffier and their carries' best teams.
This makes her the perfect teammate to be paired with the likes of Wriothesley, Ayaka, and Neuvillette which all have their own Freeze team variants.

Escoffier can also function in Fridge teams with a Hydro DPS, as her shred passive already gets triggered just by themselves. Note that these teams only get 10% RES shred due to her restrictions, but should function decently as Hyperbloom is good in AoE.

An lesser alternative yet not unusable team if you wish to make her flexible outside of Freeze. You can use a Pyro carry for Melt, typically paired with another Cryo unit like Citlali to enable at least 10% of her RES shred.

Escoffier's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Pre-Dinner Dance for Your Taste Buds When 4 party members are Hydro or Cryo, all nearby party members will have their Cryo DMG CRIT DMG increased by 60% for 15s after Escoffier uses her Elemental Skill Low-Temperature Cooking or Elemental Burst Scoring Cuts. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning." |
C2 |
Fresh, Fragrant Stew Is an Art When Escoffier activates her Cooking Mek in its Cold Storage Mode, she will gain the "Freshly-Prepped Delicacy" effect for 15s. During this time, Escoffier will gain 5 Cold Dish stacks. When nearby active characters apart from Escoffier deal Cryo DMG with a Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attack, or an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, they will expend 1 Cold Dish stack to increase their DMG dealt by 240% of Escoffier's ATK. If you hit multiple opponents with a single instance of Cryo DMG, Cold Dish stacks will be consumed based on the number of opponents hit. |
C3 |
The Bakery Magic of Caramel Browning Increases the Level of Low-Temperature Cooking by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Secret Rosemary Recipe Rehab Diet lasts 6 more seconds. While it is active, you have a chance of healing 100% extra HP and restoring 2 Energy to Escoffier when you trigger healing through Rehab Diet. This chance corresponds to Escoffier's CRIT Rate. You can trigger this effect 7 times during any one Rehab Diet's duration. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Better to Salivate Than Medicate." |
C5 |
Symphony of a Thousand Sauces Increases the Level of Scoring Cuts by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Tea Parties Bursting With Color Cooking Mek: Cold Storage Mode is enhanced: · When your party's active character's Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit opponents, Cooking Mek: Cold Storage Mode will fire off another Special-Grade Frosty Parfait, dealing 500% of Escoffier's ATK as AoE Cryo DMG. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s, and this effect can be triggered 6 times within the duration of one Cooking Mek: Cold Storage Mode. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★★ |
• Increases Cryo CRIT DMG by 60% for 15 seconds after Escoffier uses any of her abilities. |
C2 | ★★☆ | • Gives 5 instances of Cryo DMG from other party members a damage buff that scales with 240% of Escoffier's ATK. |
C4 | ★★☆ |
• Increases Elemental Burst's healing up time to 100%. • Provides even more burst healing potential and energy regen that scales with Escoffier's CRIT Rate. |
With how much of a complete unit C0 Escoffier is, there are only a few quality of life improvements that you would really need for her, with C1's additional CRIT DMG increase for Cryo units being one of them.
C4 is another noteworthy Constellation to strive towards, but it is entirely optional to Escoffier's already effective kit due to how much investment is needed to get there.

Due to Escoffier's passives being a core fundamental part of her gameplay, her passives are listed here first as they make up a good bulk of her impact in most teams and accounts.
Better to Salivate Than Medicate |
---|
After using the Elemental Burst Scoring Cuts, Escoffier will obtain the Rehab Diet effect for 9s: Restores HP for nearby active characters every 1s based on 138.24% of Escoffier's ATK. |
Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning |
---|
When there are 1/2/3/4 Hydro or Cryo characters in the party, Escoffier will decrease the Hydro RES and Cryo RES of any opponents hit by her Elemental Skill, Low-Temperature Cooking, or her Elemental Burst, Scoring Cuts, by 5%/10%/15%/55% for 12s. |
Escoffier excels at amplifying the damage of Freeze teams in particular, as she lowers the Hydro and Cryo RES of opponents whenever she hits them with her Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst.
This RES shred appears to scale with the number of Hydro and Cryo allies she has, with a full Freeze team likely applying the max amount of shred percentage to enemies.
One thing to note is that Escoffier's RES shred talent works even if the enemy is not Frozen. She only needs to hit them with her abilities while there are one or more Hydro and Cryo members in the party, including her.
Constant Off-the-Cuff Cookery |
---|
When using the Hold form of her Elemental Skill Low-Temperature Cooking, Escoffier will activate her All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek in its Off-the-Cuff Cookery mode.
Cooking Mek: Off-the-Cuff Cookery Mode · Places the Cooking Mek on the field. The Cooking Mek can absorb elemental attacks. When the absorbed elemental energy hits a certain limit, Escoffier can convert the ingredients placed within it into wonderful food. · Escoffier needs time to purchase new ingredients, so she can only make a certain number of dishes like this each week. The number of dishes Escoffier can make resets every Monday at 4:00 AM. |
Escoffier can trigger her Elemental Skill's alternate mode by holding down the skill button, granting access to a unique cooking passive that only Escoffier herself is capable of right now.
You can generate food by deploying this Cooking Mek and treating it similar to the Parametric Transformer, striking it with Elemental Attacks until it yields either a dish that may be unique from Escoffier or a generic dish.
This mechanic was balanced out by limiting the food generation ability to 10 times per week, which resets on the same time as every weekly reset in Genshin.
Escoffier currently has 4 known unique dishes that can be made from this Cooking Mek mode, and these are the following:

Performs up to 3 consecutive spear strikes.
Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward thrust. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
Low-Temperature Cooking |
---|
Behold the true meaning of "cooking"! Escoffier will demonstrate different cooking techniques when you Tap or Hold this skill, but rest assured, each of them is Fontaine's pride and joy.
Hold Attack: Activates her All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek's Off-the-Cuff Cookery Mode. Tap Activates her All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek in its Cold Storage mode and deals AoE Cryo DMG to nearby opponents. Cooking Mek: Cold Storage Mode Follows the current active character and fires Frosty Parfaits at nearby opponents at intervals, dealing Cryo DMG. Arkhe - Ousia At intervals, Escoffier will summon a Surging Blade when activating her Cooking Mek in Cold Storage mode, dealing Ousia-aligned AoE Cryo DMG. |
Tapping Escoffier's Elemental Skill causes her to summon a special cooking mek that follows the active character and shoots opponents with Cryo projectiles, dealing damage and applying Cryo to them.
It is worth noting that if Escoffier is in her intended Freeze team niche, the RES shred from her talent might allow her Elemental Skill to deal considerable damage to the enemies, making her a possible Sub-DPS.
Alternatively, holding her Elemental Skill allows her to put down her cooking mek. The mek must then be hit with Elemental attacks in order to charge up its meter, similar to the Parametric Transformer.
Once this is done, the mek will cook a dish without using any ingredients, making this a good way to always have consumables on the ready. This has a certain limit that resets every week on Mondays.
Scoring Cuts |
---|
Displaying her exceptional knife skills, Escoffier deals AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP to all nearby party members based on her ATK. |
Escoffier's Elemental Burst causes her to inflict the area around her with Cryo, dealing damage to any enemies in the area.
However, the real use case of this ability is that it can heal all allies in the party, which allows her to fulfill the role of both a Debuffer and Healer support with her on-demand Burst healing.
