Genshin Impact – Escoffier build and materials guide

It’s time to get cooking with the best Genshin Impact Escoffier build and serve your foes a menu they won’t soon forget. Escoffier is a 5-Star Cryo character wielding a Polearm and she brings a versatile kit to the table that makes her welcome at any dinner party.

Escoffier’s Elememental Skill, Low-Temperature Cooking, has two activation modes. The first is triggered by tapping the Skill and activates her Cooking Mek, dealing Cryo DMG in an area of effect. The Mek follows the active character around and continues to deal Cryo DMG in intervals. The second Skill mode is activated by holding the button. This will place the Cooking Mek on the field and allow it to absorb elemental attacks. After absorbing a certain number of attacks, it will convert the stored energy into special dishes.

Her Elemental Burst, Scoring Cuts, deals Cryo DMG in an area of effects and heals Escoffier’s party based on her ATK.

One of Escoffier’s Passive Skills enables her Skill and Burst to reduce the Cryo and Hydro RES of hit targets depending on the number of Cryo and Hydro characters in the party, so she prefers Freeze compositions.

Unlocking Escoffier’s Constellation by obtaining duplicates of her provides additional bonuses.

Best Escoffier weapons – Genshin Impact

Escoffier wants some additional punch from her weapon and her signature gear, Symphonist of Scents, delivers just that: It comes with additional CRIT DMG and ATK with the latter effect even increasing further when the wearer is off-field. When healing an ally, both the wearer and the ally receive a temporary ATK buff.

Best weapons for Escoffier in Genshin Impact:

• Symphonist of Scents (5-Star)
• Calamity Queller (5-Star)
• [With Shielder] Vortex Vanquisher (5-Star)
• Primordial Jade-Winged Spear (5-Star)
• Missive Windspear (4-Star)
• Prospector’s Drill (4-Star)

Best Escoffier artifacts – Genshin Impact

ATK and CRIT Rate are your main priorities when building Escoffier, especially on Constellation 4. In that case, CRIT Rate not only boosts her damage output, but helps her regenerate Energy and saves you from having to use up a main stat on Energy Recharge — which you might want to do if you don’t have C4 unlocked, though consistent Energy Recharge sub stats should carry you quite far.

Best Artifact Sets for Escoffier in Genshin Impact:

• Golden Troupe (4) – +20% Elemental Skill DMG, +25% Elemental Skill DMG and another +25% Elemental Skill DMG if the wearer is off-field.
• Blizzard Strayer (4) – +15% Cryo DMG, +20% CRIT Rate when the wearer attacks an enemy affected by Cryo and another +20% CRIT Rate if the enemy is Frozen.

Best stats for Escoffier in Genshin Impact:

• Flower: HP (main stat), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge
• Plume: ATK (main stat), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge
• Sands: ATK % (main stat), CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, ATK
• Goblet: Cryo DMG (main stat), ATK %, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge
• Circlet: CRIT Rate (main stat), ATK %, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge, ATK

Best Escoffier teams – Genshin Impact

Escoffier is a potent Sub DPS / Support for three reasons: First, her own damage output is pretty high, especially when built with CRIT stats. Second, her Cryo and Hydro RES shred increases her entire team’s damage output. Third, her consistent off-field Cryo application helps keep enemies Frozen, allowing the Main DPS to reign supreme without interruption.

• Wriothesley (Main DPS), Furina (Sub DPS), Shenhe (Sub DPS), Escoffier (Support)

In addition to supporting the team’s damage output, Escoffier can serve as its main healer, such as in this composition with Wriothesley at the helm.

• Neuvillette (Main DPS), Furina (Sub DPS), Escoffier (Sub DPS), Layla (Support)

The Escoffier and Furina core duo is a fantastic one, as both are strong off-field characters. This variation puts Neuvillette at the forefront and brings in Layla as a Support to provide shields.

• Ayaka (Main DPS), Escoffier (Sub DPS), Citlali (Sub DPS), Kokomi (Support)

Escoffier doesn’t need to be paired up with Furina — or any other Fontaine characters. She’s perfectly viable in any Freeze team you can think of, such as this mixed line-up from Inazuma, Fontaine, and Natlan.
