Genshin Impact 5★ Cryo Polearm Main DPS
Energy Recharge (ER) is the focus until hitting the required value.
How much Energy Recharge Escoffier needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | 0 Favonius Procs | 1 Favonius Proc |
|---|---|---|
| Solo Cryo | 265-285% | 230-250% |
| Double Cryo | 220-240% | 200-220% |
| Triple Cryo | 140-160% | 130-150% |

Escoffier’s damage comes almost entirely from her Skill, making it the priority to level. Her Burst levels only scale her healing, so can be levelled as far as the player feels is needed for survivability. Note that her first Ascension passive’s healing is independent of her Burst’s talent Levels.
The only requirement to playing Escoffier is that you need to Tap her Skill when she takes the field.
Her Burst can be used if healing is needed. Using it after her Skill allows Escoffier to collect her own Energy particles, while using it before her Skill allows Escoffier to swap off immediately after casting Skill to funnel the particles to a teammate who might want the Energy more.

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.
C3Increases the Level of Low-Temperature Cooking by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4Rehab 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.

Escoffier's outfit. Befitting the "Patissiere Supreme," the finely sewn flying sleeves on Escoffier's work uniform are as refined as the cakes she bakes, inevitably evoking thoughts of pure, exquisite sweetness.
Names, descriptions and art from the game data. Pick an outfit on the stage to see it full size.
Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo character from Fontaine who uses a polearm, released in version 5.6.
Escoffier's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Symphonist of Scents is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Lithic Spear is the best 4-star alternative.
Blizzard Strayer. Its 2-piece bonus is: Cryo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: 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%.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Justice among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
