Genshin Escoffier build - Talent Priority 

Refer to our table below discussing Escoffier's talent priorities, and their recommended level.

Talent	Priority	Recommended level
Normal Attack	★ ★	1+
Elemental Skill	★ ★ ★ ★ ★	10+
Elemental Burst	★ ★ ★ ★	7+

In this Genshin Escoffier build guide, we recommend upgrading and prioritizing her elemental skill first. Escoffier is a sub-DPS with respectable personal damage through the tap mode of her elemental skill, and upgrading this talent will increase its damage multipliers. Next is her elemental burst; this also boosts her personal damage output slightly, thanks to the increased damage multipliers on her burst damage during her ult. It also increases her healing output.

Genshin Impact Escoffier build - Best Artifacts set

For the best Escoffier build, we recommend equipping 4-piece Golden Troupe and 4-piece Blizzard Strayer. Since Escoffier doubles as a sub-DPS that deals respectable personal damage, and a debuffer

Golden Troupe

Golden Troupe is Escoffier's best-in-slot artifact set. This leans into an offensive Escoffier build, making her personal damage through her elemental skill skyrocket. A total of 45% elemental skill damage can be received by Escoffier just by equipping it. This increases further when she's off-field to 70%, which is her intended playstyle.

Golden Troupe

2-Piece Bonus Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 20%. 4-Piece Bonus Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 25%. Additionally, when not on the field, Elemental Skill DMG is further increased by 25%. This effect is cleared 2s after taking the field.

Blizzard Strayer

As a sub-DPS, you can also use Blizzard Strayer. Picking this over Golden Troupe sacrifices elemental skill damage for crit rate and cryo damage bonus. This has the potential to be better than Golden Troupe, though it’s not always the case.

Blizzard Strayer provides Escoffier 15% cryo damage bonus, and 40% crit rate against enemies affected by Freeze. Since Escoffier highly favors the freeze team, and since she has 100% uptime on her elemental skill, she won't struggle that much in keeping the uptime of this set. However, you may lose 20% of the crit rate buff when fighting against larger enemies that cannot be frozen.

Blizzard Strayer

2-Piece Bonus Cryo DMG Bonus +15% 4-Piece Bonus When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.

Noblesse Oblige

Now if you want to focus on using Escoffier as a support, you can pick up Noblesse Oblige. This gives her elemental burst more damage, and provides teamwide partywide 20% ATK buff. Note though only Attack-scaling units such as Ayaka, Skirk and Ayato can benefit from this. Additionally, only one character per team can unit Noblesse Oblige as the 4-piece effect does not stack.

Noblesse Oblige

2-Piece Bonus Elemental Burst DMG +20% 4-Piece Bonus Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.

Main stats priority:

• Flower: HP
• Plume: ATK
• Goblet: ATK% / ER%
• Sands: Cryo DMG Bonus / ATK%
• Circlet: CRIT Rate > Crit Damage (Furina team) > ATK%

Sub-stats priority:

• 130-200% ER > Crit rate > Crit damage > ATK% >

Best Escoffier weapons for Genshin Impact Escoffier build

Escoffier's best weapons are Symphony of Scents, Calamity Queller, Primordial Jade Spear, Staff of Homa, Lithic Spear and Deathmatch.

Escoffier is an ATK-scaling unit, who just as other DPS, requires ATK, Crit, and ER. By stacking ATK, Escoffier can also increase her healing output.

Symphony of Scents

Symphony of Scents not only matches with Escoffier's aesthetic as it is also tailor-made for her. This weapon gives a whopping 66.2% crit damage, which does magic to her damage output. Besides that, it also increases her ATK%, especially when off-field.

• Base ATK: 608
• CRIT DMG: 66.2%

Symphony of Scents

ATK is increased by 12%. When the equipping character is off-field, ATK is increased by an additional 12%. After initiating healing, the equipping character and the character(s) they heal gain the "Sweet Echoes" effect, increasing ATK by 32% for 3s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is off-field.

Calamity Queller

Calamity Queller is Escoffier's next best weapon. This gets even better if you can get decent crit stats on your artifacts sets. This weapon has the highest base ATK for all polearms with ATK% as its main stats. Additionally, this gives you elemental damage bonus, another ATK increase for using elemental skill which also doubles when you're off-field.

• Base ATK: 741
• ATK: 16.5%

Calamity Queller

Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain Consummation for 20s after using an Elemental Skill, causing ATK to increase by 3.2% per second. This ATK increase has a maximum of 6 stacks. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation's ATK increase is doubled.

Primordial Jade Spear

You could also opt for Primordial Jade Spear, another ATK-based polearm that gives decent amount of crit rate.

• Base ATK: 674
• CRIT Rate: 22.1%

Primordial Jade Spear

On hit, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.

Staff of Homa

With Cryo Resonance active, building Crit Rate for Escoffier becomes much easier, making Crit Damage weapons like Staff of Homa well worth considering. It can be a good stats stick, with its passive effect adding a bit of ATK.

• Base ATK: 608
• CRIT DMG: 66.2%

Staff of Homa

HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder's Max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK Bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.

Lithic Spear

Lithic Spear is also a good option. It provides a much higher crit rate, albeit lower base ATK. You could increase the said stats by 3% and 7% respectively by adding one Liyue member like Shenhe, Chongyun, Ganyu, Yelan and Xingqiu.

• Base ATK: 454
• CRIT Rate: 36.8%

Lithic Spear

For every character in the party who hails from Liyue, the character who equips this weapon gains a 7% ATK increase and a 3% CRIT Rate increase. This effect stacks up to 4 times.

Deathmatch

This BP-exclusive weapon can also be a great pickup. This gives you crit rate, and ATK. Best used when there's only a single enemy or boss.

• Base ATK: 454
• CRIT Rate: 36.8%

Deathmatch

If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 16% and DEF is increased by 16%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 24%.

Genshin Impact Escoffier Constellations - Should you pull?

Learn more about Escoffier constellations in this Genshin Impact Escoffier build guide.

If you've saved up for Escoffier, we recommend the following constellations: C1, C2 and C6.

01. Pre-Dinner Dance for Your Taste Buds

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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 Ascension Talent "Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning." Reason: This constellation is a massive boost in damage, provided that you can cast your elemental skill off cooldown, and elemental burst, and if you're exclusively using a mono-cryo or freeze team. This is an excellent cons, but is useless when used with other elements.

02. Fresh, Fragrant Stew Is an Art

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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. Reason: Another great constellation that improves Escoffier's supportive capabilities. This allows active DPS to gain damage increase depending on Escoffier's ATK.

03. The Bakery Magic of Caramel Browning
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of Low-Temperature Cooking by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: Increases the damage dealt by Escoffier's elemental skill.

04. Secret Rosemary Recipe

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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 Ascension Talent "Better to Salivate Than Medicate." Reason: Does not bring any damage buff at all. Only pull for this if you're always in need of healing, or when pulling for C6.

05. Symphony of a Thousand Sauces
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of Scoring Cuts by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: Increases her healing during ult.

06. Tea Parties Bursting With Color

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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. Reason: C6 is unsurprisingly Escoffier's best constellation, essentially doubling or tripling Escoffier's personal damage.

Genshin Escoffier teams

Listed below are all of Genshin Impact Escoffier teams.

Escoffier is a sub-DPS, support, and healer. She’s currently the strongest Cryo support, but her talents come with some restrictions on team composition. To maximize her resistance shred, Escoffier should only be paired with Cryo or Hydro teammates. Below is a list of all recommended Genshin Impact Escoffier teams.

Skirk Freeze team - Skirk, Escoffier, Furina and Shenhe

Escoffier's best team composition is a Freeze team. Ideally, the team should look like this: one on-field Cryo/Hydro DPS, Escoffier herself, a Hydro off-field applicator, and a Cryo/Hydro flex.

One example of such a team is the Skirk Freeze team. Out of all the Cryo DPS in the game, Skirk is considered the strongest. She can dish out tons of damage, even more with the presence of Furina, Escoffier, and Shenhe.

Furina, Escoffier, and Shenhe work hand in hand to maintain Freeze uptime while providing their own respective buffs. Additionally, Escoffier triggers the necessary healing for Furina's fanfare buffs.

Ayaka Freeze team - Ayaka, Escoffier, Furina and Shenhe

Another great option to have besides Skirk is Ayaka. Ayaka is another strong DPS that can dish out massive damage even at C0.

Wriothesley Freeze team - Ayaka, Escoffier, Furina and Shenhe

Alternatively, you could also try the Wriothesley Freeze comp.

Neuvillette Freeze team - Neuvillette, Furina, Escoffier and Citlali

Of course, Escoffier not only functions with Cryo DPS but with Neuvillette as well. Neuvillette is a powerful on-field DPS whose damage can be buffed by Escoffier, Furina and Citlali with 4-pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City or TTDS. Citlali's shield also allows uninterrupted charged attack for Neuvillette at C0.
