Best Escoffier teams in Genshin Impact

Escoffier is best utilized in a team with Skirk, Citlali, and Vodyanitsa - but you can use Escoffier anywhere a Cryo support is needed. Such as teams built around Sandrone, Wriothesley, Mavuika, or even Arlecchino and Ayaka.

As you can see, even though Skirk and Escoffier are an excellent duo, Escoffier can actually be used in better teams - like Sandrone and Wriothesley's Stellar Glimmer teams - to great effect. She might not be a 'must pull' outside of Skirk teams, but she's certainly versatile enough to withstand the power creep that's emerged with the Stellar Glimmer meta.

Best Escoffier weapons in Genshin Impact

Here's a list of Escoffier's best weapons in Genshin Impact:

Symphonist of Scents Escoffier's signature 5-star polearm boosts her personal Crit Damage and attack, with even more attack is gained when she's off-field. Also, when Escoffier heals, this polearm will boost the attack of all those she heals. Skyward Spine A nice 5-star Energy Recharge 'stat stick' that also increases Escoffier's attack, and normal/charged attack damage. Fractured Halo A Crit Damage 'stat stick' that also increases Escoffier's attack when she Bursts. Favonius Lance An excellent 4-star option to help with Escoffier's Energy Recharge needs, as her Crit Hits generate Energy particles when equipped. Deathmatch A good 4-star alternative that increases Escoffier's Crit Rate and attack.

Other Crit Damage/Crit Rate/Energy Recharge 'stat sticks' can be used. But Ideally, it's preferable if the passive effect can also be utilized by Escoffier for more teamwide damage gains.

Best Escoffier Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Escoffier's best Artifact set in Genshin Impact when not in a team with Skirk is the 4-piece Golden Troupe, as it maximizes her personal damage by boosting her Skill - even more if she's off-field.

If you are running Escoffier with Skirk, however, there are a few 4-piece support set options that you should use instead:

• Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City - Escoffier's best support set if nobody else on the team is using it, as it boosts the team's Elemental Damage.
• Tenacity of the Millelith - Good for its increase to the team's attack, but better utilized on Vodyanitsa/Furina instead.
• Noblesse Oblige - A nice support option for its increase to the team's attack when Escoffier uses her Burst.

The main stats you should aim for on Escoffier's Artifacts are:

• Sands - Energy Recharge/Attack
• Goblet - Attack/Cryo Damage
• Circlet - Crit Rate/Damage

If you've already met Escoffier's Energy Recharge needs, you should aim for an attack Sands.

The substats you should be looking for with any of these Artifact sets are:

• Energy Recharge
• Crit Damage
• Crit Rate
• Attack

When considering Escoffier's Energy Recharge needs, generally, you'll need to aim for the 220 - 240% range in a double Cryo team. But if you're using the Favonius Lance, or have another Cryo team member, this requirement is significantly lowered.

How to play Escoffier in Genshin Impact

Although building Escoffier takes a little work to get her perfect for your particular team, she's thankfully much easier to play. All you need to know is:

• Escoffier's Skill deals AOE Cryo Damage to nearby opponents.
• Her Burst deals AOE Cryo Damage and restores HP to all nearby party members, scaling off her attack.
• The more Cryo/Hydro characters on your team, the more Cryo/Hydro Resistance shred Escoffier performs when using her Skill and Burst.

So essentially, you're just using Escoffier's Skill and Burst when available to constantly apply Cryo, and keep Cryo/Hydro Resistance shred on enemies to increase your teamwide DPS.

When levelling her up, prioritize Escoffier's Skill first, then her Burst if you want to improve Escoffier's healing capabilities - normal attacks can be ignored.

All the best building Escoffier in Genshin Impact!
