- Buffs and damage aren’t locked to enemies being Frozen
- Consolidates RES Shred, off-field damage and healing
- Her healing is nothing to Escoff at
Cons
- Primarily single-target damage

- Outside of her Freeze, Mono Cryo, and Melt teams, she offers little compared to current alternatives
Playstyles
Pure Cryo — Hydro Teams
Escoffier provides up to 55% Hydro and Cryo RES Shred in teams consisting of only those two Elements, with excellent uptime. Her Elemental Skill deals high single-target damage while her Elemental Burst heals all party members. Since her damage and debuffs don’t rely on enemies being Frozen, she can also be used against non-Freezable enemies without issue.
Melt
Escoffier’s off-field Cryo application can enable Melt reactions for other teammates, or let Escoffier Melt some of her damage. She doesn’t provide nearly as much Cryo RES Shred to these teams.
Talents
Talent Priority
Skill > Burst
The vast majority of Escoffier’s damage comes from her Skill, so it should be prioritized. Leveling Escoffier’s Burst is important too, as it improves her healing even though its damage share is much smaller.
Talent Overview
Normal Attack | Kitchen Skills
Talent Description
Normal Attack
Performs up to 3 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward thrust.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Escoffier uses her tail to dexterously attack enemies in a 3-hit combo. Though nice to look at, she will rarely use her Normal Attacks in combat.
Elemental Skill | Low-Temperature Cooking
Talent Description
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.
Hold
Activates her All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek’s Off-the-Cuff Cookery Mode.
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’s Skill is her main source of damage. Her Tap Skill summons a Cooking Mek, which deals high single-target damage and will constantly apply her A4 debuff onto enemies she hits. The Cooking Mek will also follow the active character.
When using Escoffier’s Tap Skill, she will also proc an Ousia-aligned Arkhe hit, which can temporarily paralyze or break the shields of Pneuma-aligned Fontaine enemies. Escoffier generates 4 Cryo Particles when her Tap Skill hits an opponent.
The Hold version of Escoffier’s Elemental Skill has no in-combat application. Instead, it deploys the Cooking Mek to make a limited amount of unique dishes, with the dish limit resetting at the weekly reset.
Elemental Burst | Scoring Cuts
Talent Description
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 deals one instance of AoE Cryo damage and heals all party members based on Escoffier’s ATK stat. It also activates her A1 Passive’s healing over time.
Ascension 1 Passive | Better to Salivate Than Medicate
Talent Description
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.
After Escoffier uses her Elemental Burst, she will provide one instance of healing to the active character every second for 9s.
Ascension 4 Passive | Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning
Talent Description
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’s most impactful Talent for both teambuilding and personal damage. Upon hitting enemies with her Skill or Burst, Escoffier will decrease the enemy’s Hydro and Cryo RES for 12s. The RES Shred scales with the number of Hydro and Cryo characters on the team: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 Hydro or Cryo teammates reduce an enemy’s RES by 5% / 10% / 15% / 55%. While Escoffier’s RES Shred activates regardless of what Elements her teammates are (unlike Chevreuse, for example), the massive jump from 15% RES Shred to 55% RES Shred heavily incentivizes running only Hydro and Cryo teammates.
Although Escoffier’s Skill only has a small AoE, the Hydro and Cryo RES Shred lasts for 12s, and her Skill attacks every second for a total of 20s. This helps mitigate any issues she might encounter with applying her debuff in multi-target scenarios. Additionally, the RES Shred is applied on Burst hit, so Escoffier can — if necessary — ensure her RES Shred is applied to a specific enemy before the team’s main damage window begins. Her Elemental Skill’s long uptime also allows her to continuously trigger the RES Shred across multiple waves of enemies.
Constellations
Constellation 1 | Pre-Dinner Dance for Your Taste Buds
Constellation Description
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.”
Escoffier’s Constellation 1 offers a teamwide Cryo CRIT DMG buff in teams that are composed of only Hydro and Cryo characters. A simple yet powerful teamwide increase to her teams that are focused around the Cryo characters, as long as they fulfill its trigger condition.
Constellation 2 | Fresh, Fragrant Stew Is an Art
Constellation Description
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.
Cold Storage 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.
This Constellation gives 5 Cold Dish stacks, which are an Additive DMG Bonus to Cryo damage (similar to Shenhe’s Icy Quill), and scales with Escoffier’s ATK. Note that Cold Dish stacks are shared by the team, so Escoffier should go on-field right before the team’s Cryo DPS’s field time. Escoffier herself doesn’t benefit from this Constellation.
Constellation 3 | The Bakery Magic of Caramel Browning
Constellation Description
Increases the Level of Low-Temperature Cooking by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
A straightforward increase to Escoffier’s Skill Talent level. Given how her Skill is her main source of damage, this Constellation is very impactful for her personal damage.
Constellation 4 | Secret Rosemary Recipe
Constellation Description
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.”
This Constellation increases Escoffier’s A1 healing duration and the average healing per instance. It also restores a small amount of Energy per proc, with the proc chance following her CRIT Rate. Given how Escoffier naturally wants CRIT Rate for her personal damage, you should reliably get the maximum of 7 procs for an extra 14 Energy per rotation.
Overall, a solid improvement to her already plentiful healing, while also giving her Flat Energy which reduces her ER requirements. This Constellation’s value is dependent on the team, with it gaining value when Escoffier’s ER requirements are high.
Constellation 5 | Symphony of a Thousand Sauces
Constellation Description
Increases the Level of Scoring Cuts by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
A straightforward increase to Escoffier’s Burst Talent level. Since her Burst is a minor part of her personal damage and her healing is already high, this Constellation is pretty lackluster.
Constellation 6 | Tea Parties Bursting With Color
Constellation Description
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.
Cold Storage 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.
Escoffier’s strongest Constellation for personal damage, as it adds 6 powerful instances of AoE Cryo Skill damage per rotation that require your active character to perform Normal / Charged / Plunging Attacks.

| EQ | Escoffier’s default combo. She catches her own Skill particles to battery her Burst. |
| QE | Escoffier can use her Skill after her Burst to battery a teammate. While this reduces her Burst’s damage, as she will not shred the opponent’s Cryo RES, her Burst only makes up a small portion of her total DPS output. |
Artifacts
ER Requirements
Calcs for ER requirements can be found here (last updated for Version 5.6).
The following table already assumes a reasonable amount of Favonius procs when it is desirable for the team. Additional Favonius procs lower Escoffier’s ER requirements by 10–30%. Escoffier’s C4 is assumed to provide 14 Flat Energy to herself.
In Solo Cryo teams, Escoffier should be equipped with Favonius Lance or Burst every other rotation.
| C0 | C4 | |
| Triple Cryo | 115-150% | 100-115% |
| Double Cryo | 130-165% | 100-125% |
| Solo Cryo | 160–195% | 135–160% |

Artifact Stats
 Sands |  Goblet |  Circlet |
| ATK% / Energy Recharge | Cryo DMG Bonus ≥ ATK% | CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG |
Stat Priority: ER (until requirements) > CRIT > ATK%
Escoffier can forgo her Burst if her healing is not needed and instead focus on building for damage.
Escoffier can utilize either a Cryo DMG% or an ATK% Goblet. A Cryo Goblet performs slightly better overall, but with plentiful external sources of DMG% (e.g., from 4pc Golden Troupe and Furina) an ATK% Goblet can perform fine. An ATK% Goblet also provides additional healing, but this isn’t a high priority. When paired with Shenhe, a Cryo Goblet becomes better.
Artifact Sets
 4pc Golden Troupe | Golden Troupe is Escoffier’s Best-in-Slot against enemies that aren’t Frozen and a close second against Frozen enemies. As a primarily off-field Elemental Skill damage dealer, this set has excellent synergy with her. |
 4pc Blizzard Strayer | Blizzard Strayer can situationally perform slightly better than 4pc Golden Troupe when facing Freezable opponents. Against enemies that cannot be Frozen, however, it loses out on 20% CRIT Rate and thus performs significantly worse, making it overall less consistent than 4pc Golden Troupe. Escoffier both ascends with CRIT Rate and often has access to extra CRIT Rate from Cryo Resonance or a CRIT Rate weapon, so this set’s CRIT Rate buff can be difficult to build around. |
  4pc Tenacity of the Millelith, 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City | These 4pc sets are focused around buffing the team’s damage at the price of Escoffier’s own. As such, they are only used in teams where Escoffier’s personal damage is a minor part of the team’s damage, either because her ER requirements are too high or she doesn’t have access to many buffs. Escoffier can maintain excellent uptime on 4pc TotM, and she can give 12% DMG Bonus to the Elements she reacts with using 4pc Scroll. |
 2pc Mixed Sets | 2pc Set Bonuses: Cryo DMG Bonus, Skill DMG Bonus, ATK%, Energy Recharge Alternative budget options that should only be used while farming for a dedicated 4pc set. |
Weapons
 5★ Symphonist of Scents | Escoffier’s Best-in-Slot weapon by a significant margin. Symphonist provides both plenty of CRIT for her and an ATK% buff for herself and the active character whenever she heals. This requires Escoffier to use her Elemental Burst. This weapon’s 3s ATK% buff is maintained by Escoffier’s A1 Passive, which periodically heals the active character, and has particularly great synergy with characters whose attacks snapshot, such as Ganyu or Ayaka. |
 5★ Calamity Queller, Staff of Homa, Lumidouce Elegy | Great 5-star Polearms that perform above the rest thanks to their secondary stats and useful passives. |
 5★ Engulfing Lightning | Engulfing Lightning’s performance heavily depends on Escoffier’s ER requirements. It is on par with her best 5-star options at higher ER requirements but performs only similarly to her 4-star options at low ER requirements. Its massive ER stat lets her easily meet her ER needs. |
 4★ Deathmatch | Escoffier’s best 4-star weapon. At high refinements in single-target scenarios, it outperforms some 5-star Polearms. Its high CRIT Rate secondary stat can make it hard to build around. |
 5★ Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, Crimson Moon’s Semblance, Staff of the Scarlet Sands | Other 5-star Polearms that are overall decent options due to their base stats. Their CRIT Rate secondary stat can make it hard to build around Escoffier’s CRIT Rate Ascension Stat and Cryo Resonance. |
 4★ Prospector’s Drill, Mountain Bracing Bolt | These limited banner 4-star weapons are decent options at high refinements; however, getting refinements on them can be challenging since they are only available through the weapon banner. With Prospector’s Drill, Escoffier should use her Burst before her Skill on the first rotation in order to activate its passive. This, however, will make you need slightly more Energy, as Escoffier won’t be catching her own particles. Note that the passive lasts for 10s, which will not cover all of Escoffier’s damage. The ER secondary stat of Mountain Bracing Bolt can make it more powerful in teams where Escoffier’s ER requirements are higher. |
 4★ Blackcliff Pole | Blackcliff Pole is Escoffier’s best accessible weapon, although by a small margin, even when you don’t account for its passive. Unless this weapon is already owned or the other alternatives are inaccessible, it’s not recommended to purchase this weapon. |
 4★ Missive Windspear, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi, Wavebreaker’s Fin | Missive Windspear and Tamayuratei no Ohanashi are event 4-star weapons. Missive performs slightly better on average due to Tamayuratei’s limited 10s uptime. However, Tamayuratei’s ER secondary stat helps Escoffier reach her ER requirements easier. Wavebreaker’s Fin performs similarly due to its high Base ATK. |
 5★ Skyward Spine | As a 5-star stat stick, it performs on par with Missive Windspear if Escoffier’s ER requirements are low. At higher ER requirements, it performs on par with the above 5-star stat sticks. |
 4★ Favonius Lance | Favonius Lance is not a good option for Escoffier’s personal damage, but it can be used in teams where the Energy from its passive is needed. If Escoffier’s ER requirements are high, it also helps her meet her ER requirements more easily. |

Freeze / Mono Cryo
Escoffier’s main niche; her Freeze teams pair her with exclusively Cryo and Hydro teammates to maximize her A4 Passive’s debuff. She covers the team’s sustain role through the party-wide healing from her Elemental Burst, which can be beneficial against opponents that can’t be Frozen or to stack Fanfare in teams with Furina.
Most of Escoffier’s teams will pair her with a second Cryo character to take advantage of Cryo Resonance’s CRIT Rate buff and to lower her ER requirements, but she can also run as the only Cryo unit — at the price of high ER requirements.
Escoffier can also run in a pure Mono Cryo team, but there is currently a lack of good Cryo off-field damage dealers or buffers to fill the last teammate slot. As such, forcing a team of four Cryo characters is rarely worth it over simply running a Freeze team.
Notable Teammates
Cryo On-Fielders
 Ayaka | Escoffier can take the place of Anemo supports in Ayaka’s teams to provide Cryo RES Shred. She also deals high off-field damage, can stack Fanfare in Furina teams through her healing, and enables Ayaka to fully activate Finale of the Deep’s condition, which is Ayaka’s strongest 4-star weapon. |
 Wriothesley | Escoffier’s high uptime on her RES Shred and personal damage has great synergy with Wriothesley’s extensive field time. While Escoffier’s healing sustains his enhanced Normal Attacks’ HP drain, it will result in Wriothesley getting fewer enhanced Charged Attacks since his HP will remain high. Nonetheless she is an excellent teammate for him. |
 Ganyu | Escoffier’s buffs and personal damage make Ganyu’s Freeze teams powerful in single-target scenarios. However, while Escoffier easily compensates for losing 4pc VV, she lacks the synergy Anemo groupers like Venti or Kazuha have with Ganyu’s quadratic scaling. |
 Eula | While Eula’s damage is mainly Physical, Escoffier can benefit from Eula’s own Cryo RES Shred to amplify her damage. She also provides healing to stack Fanfare in Eula’s teams with Furina. In order to further reduce Eula’s ER requirements, a third Cryo option like Rosaria, Shenhe, or Mika is strongly recommended. |
 Freminet | Freminet has two distinct playstyles: as an on-field Cryo or Physical DPS. He fulfills Escoffier’s A4 condition while dealing damage and driving teammates’ skills. |
Cryo Off-Fielders
 Shenhe | Shenhe is a great off-field support that provides multiple buffs to Cryo (and Physical) teammates, including her Icy Quill effect and, through her Elemental Burst, Cryo and Physical RES Shred and Cryo DMG%. In Escoffier’s teams, Shenhe will usually use her Tap Skill twice per rotation, which results in Escoffier and the rest of her Cryo teammates getting 10 instances of their damage buffed by her Icy Quill. |
 Citlali | As a Natlan character, Citlali is capable of triggering the full effect of 4pc Scroll to buff both Cryo and Hydro units with a 40% DMG Bonus. Additionally, as a Catalyst user, she can hold TTDS or Favonius Codex to further support the team. While Citlali cannot shred Cryo, Escoffier already covers Cryo RES Shred, and the additional 20% Hydro Shred Citlali provides is helpful to teammates like Neuvillette, Furina, or Ayato. |
Other Cryo characters can provide off-field damage, defensive utility and lower ER requirements.
Hydro On-Fielders
 Neuvillette | While Neuvillette traditionally prefers to run different Elemental types, Escoffier strongly incentivizes him to exclusively run Cryo and Hydro teammates, consequently only getting one stack of his A1 Passive. However, Escoffier’s RES Shred and high single-target damage compensate for this damage loss, making her a powerful teammate for him. |
 Ayato | Ayato is an on-field Hydro DPS who can perform well in multi-target scenarios thanks to his AoE horizontal slashes. Escoffier’s high uptime on her buffs and damage are welcome in his teams, as his rotations can be long and her healing is helpful to stack Fanfare with Furina. |
 Kokomi | Kokomi can be played as an off-field source of AoE Hydro application and healing, or she can take the field to deal damage and drive other teammates’ abilities like Yelan or Xingqiu through her Normal Attacks. Since she provides plenty of healing, she can let Escoffier forgo her Burst if her ER requirements are high. |
 Mualani | Mualani traditionally prefers Pyro teammates who can let her amplify her damage through the Vaporize reaction. While not her best teams, Escoffier’s buffs and her synergy with other powerful Cryo and Hydro teammates like Citlali and Furina make Mualani’s Freeze teams a viable alternative to her Vaporize teams if Pyro options are unavailable. |
Hydro Off-Fielders
 Furina | Since Escoffier is a healer, she naturally synergizes extremely well with Furina, who actively needs a source of healing to stack Fanfare and offset her HP drain. Furina also benefits from Escoffier’s Hydro RES Shred for her personal damage, and Escoffier in turn benefits from Furina’s DMG Bonus. |
Example Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.
Sample Rotation (Shenhe)
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Shenhe Q tE > Ayaka ED (N1)1 Q N2CD 2[N2C] > Shenhe N2 tE > Ayaka ED N1C
1If Ayaka is using Mistsplitter Reforged.
Sample Rotation (Rosaria)
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Rosaria EQ > Ayaka ED (N1)1 Q N2CD N2C > Rosaria E > Ayaka N2C ED N2C
1If Ayaka is using Mistsplitter Reforged.
Sample Rotation (Shenhe)
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Shenhe tEQ > Wriothesley combo > Shenhe tE N31
1To let Shenhe catch her own particles and trigger Favonius Lance.
Sample Rotation (Yelan)
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Yelan Q N1E N1 > Wriothesley combo > Yelan E N31
1To let Yelan catch her own particles and trigger Favonius Warbow.
Sample Rotation (Xingqiu)
Xingqiu EDQ N1 > Furina ED N1 Q > Escoffier EQ N1 > Wriothesley combo
Citlali provides 4pc Scroll and a shield that Neuvillette greatly appreciates, while Shenhe offers her Icy Quill to Escoffier, a Charged Attack buff to Neuvillette, and a Skill DMG buff to both Furina and Escoffier (albeit late in the rotation).
Sample Rotation (Citlali)
Neuvillette E > Furina ED > Citlali E N1 > Escoffier EQ > Furina Q > Neuvillette C Q E C > Citlali N21 > Neuvillette 2[C]
1To trigger Favonius Codex.
Sample Rotation (Shenhe)
Neuvillette E > Furina ED > Shenhe hEQ > Escoffier EQ > Furina Q > Neuvillette C E C Q > Shenhe tE N2 > Neuvillette 2[C]
Ayato or Kokomi can act as an on-field DPS and driver for Yelan. With Ayato, Escoffier needs to Burst every rotation for Fanfare, resulting in high ER requirements as she’s the only Cryo character. With Kokomi, Escoffier forgoes ER to build purely offensive stats as she’s not required to Burst every rotation when Kokomi already provides enough healing.
Sample Rotation (Ayato)
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Yelan Q N1 E N1 > Ayato E N15 Q N1 > Escoffier N2 > Yelan N1 E N1 > Ayato E N15
Sample Rotation (Kokomi)
Furina ED > Kokomi E > Furina Q > Escoffier (Q)1 E > Yelan Q N1 E N1 > Kokomi N1 Q 5[N3D] > Yelan E N2
1Use Escoffier’s Elemental Burst if it’s available.
Freminet acts as an on-field Cryo DPS while fulfilling Escoffier’s team condition. Shenhe provides Cryo RES Shred and other buffs to Escoffier and Freminet.
Sample Rotation
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Shenhe Q N1 tE > Freminet E Q E 4[EE N2] EE > Shenhe tE N2
An affordable alternative Escoffier Freeze team with flexible field times. Rosaria uses her Elemental Skill when available to deal damage and lower the team’s ER requirements.
Melt
Alongside a second Cryo character, Escoffier can provide Cryo Resonance and enable Melt for on-field Pyro damage dealers. Citlali is the preferred second Cryo option, although other Cryo units such as Rosaria or Kaeya can work. Even in teams where Citlali applies enough Cryo on her own, Escoffier still brings personal damage, and the extra Cryo application helps make Melt uptime more consistent. Although Escoffier’s A4 RES Shred is not maximized and does not benefit the team’s Pyro DPS, Escoffier still contributes plentiful off-field damage.
High Pyro application or Burning can enable Melt for Escoffier, but Escoffier prefers Freeze teams for her own personal damage due to her A4 Passive.
Notable Teammates
Pyro
 Mavuika | Mavuika is the premier on-field Melt DPS available and can deal massive damage through Melting most of her attacks. In addition to extra Cryo application, Escoffier brings her own personal damage and the ability to buff Mavuika with supportive gear like 4pc Tenacity. |
 Arlecchino | Paired with a second Cryo character, Escoffier makes Arlecchino’s combos in her Melt teams more forgiving. Escoffier’s 15s cooldowns and short field time are appreciated as Arlecchino tends to run short rotations. |
 Gaming | Gaming is a powerful on-field DPS who amplifies his enhanced Plunging Attacks through Melt. Escoffier pairs well with his pre-existing Cryo teammates and can enable more Melt Plunges through her extra Cryo application and long Skill uptime. |
Cryo
 Citlali | Citlali is an excellent second Cryo option thanks to her Pyro RES Shred and ability to activate the full 4pc Scroll DMG Bonus. Additionally, she provides supplemental Cryo application for the on-field DPS while enabling Cryo Resonance. Her shield also provides quality of life. |
Example Teams
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any given team does not necessarily reflect its power level.
A Double Cryo Melt team where Escoffier enables Cryo Resonance and deals damage from off-field. Citlali buffs the team’s Pyro DPS with her Pyro RES Shred, and the whole team with 4pc Scroll.
Sample Rotation (Mavuika)
Mavuika E > Escoffier E > Bennett EQ > Citlali EQ N1> Mavuika Q combo
Sample Rotation (Arlecchino)
Arlecchino E > Bennett EQ > Escoffier E > Citlali EQ > Arlecchino C combo
Rosaria and Escoffier provide sufficient Cryo application to let Gaming Melt his damage.
Sample Rotation
Escoffier E(Q) > Bennett EQ > Rosaria EQ > Gaming Q 7[EP] > Bennett E > Rosaria E > Gaming EP
Escoffier covers the role of a healer for Furina while letting Hu Tao Melt most of her Charged Attacks against Freezable enemies.
Sample Rotation
Furina ED Q > Escoffier EQ > Yelan Q N1 E N2 > Hu Tao E combo > Yelan E N21
1Wait for Yelan to catch her own particles.
A Burnmelt team built around Kinich’s damage. Mavuika holds 4pc Scroll in order to buff Kinich and Escoffier.
