Escoffier's best weapon is Symphonist of Scents, her signature weapon. To fully take advantage of this weapon however you do need to ensure you use Escoffier's Elemental Burst every rotation which places a slight emphasis on her Energy Recharge requirements when building Escoffier. There are many good 5-Star options such as Calamity Queller, Staff of Homa or Lumidouce Elegy.
Golden Troupe is Escoffier's best artifact set that you should build and is great for her personal DPS. That being said, you can build Escoffier with Blizzard Strayer instead and has the potential to be comparable in damage output.
Build Escoffier with ample amounts of ER as well as CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK %. Escoffier's Energy Recharge requirements heavily depend on your team composition and the amount of Cryo characters.
Escoffier's Energy Recharge Requirements
The amount of ER for your Escoffier Build depends on her team. While the below information can provide you with rough estimates, they can differ depending on the exact characters used, your rotation and any ER-centric weapons used.
Team | ER Required |
---|---|
1 Cryo | 200%+ |
2 Cryo | 155-175% |
3 Cryo | 120-130% |
Mono Cryo | 100%~ |
Escoffiers Best Team Compositions
Escoffier's best teams focus on the Freeze reaction however she can work in other team archetypes too but non-Cryo/ Hydro characters will remove stacks from Escoffier's passive ability.
Escoffier Freeze Teams
Main DPS | Support | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Kamisato Ayaka | Furina | Escoffier | |
Wriothesley | Furina | Yelan | Escoffier |
Escoffier's best teams pair her with Furina due to how easily Escoffier can generate Fanfare and then a powerful SubDPS such as Yelan or a Cryo support such as Shenhe or even Citlali. This core can then support a wide range of Hydro or Cryo Main DPS.
Kamisato Ayaka is one of the older characters who benefits most from Escoffier, while Wriothesley and Ganyu can work, but generally melt is still stronger for these 2.
Escoffier Neuvillette Freeze Teams
Main DPS | Support | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Neuvillette | Furina | Citlali | Escoffier |
Neuvillette is another character who can benefit significantly from Escoffier and is a contender for one of his best teams. On paper, Escoffier teams are best however because Neuvillette's personal damage is lower with Escoffier meaning that your investment into Neuvillette doesn’t scale as well. Ultimately, it depends on the content and characters you have available.
Non-Freeze Teams With Escoffier
Main DPS | Support | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Mavuika | Escoffier | Xilonen | Bennett |
Arlecchino | Escoffier | Citlali | Bennett |
These teams are generally worse than Freeze-based options however they can still be decent or simply alternate ways to play Escoffier depending on the Spiral Abyss/Imaginarium Line-up. Pyro DPS such as Mavuika and Arlecchino tend to be the best choices however Hu Tao or Yoimiya are also good options.
