Her passive abilities look like a dream come true. You don't want to skip this limited-time character. But how can you get her? And why should you care about her?Let's look at how to get Escoffier and why people say she's the best all-around support since the game started.

Let's start with the basics: You can get Escoffier through special character banners. This means you won't find her in the Standard Banner or Beginner's Wish, your only chance is during the event banners when she's featured.

Why all the buzz? Escoffier isn’t just an average Cryo support. She works like a multi-purpose tool that can heal, boost allies, weaken enemies, and deliver solid Cryo damage from off the field. Imagine blending Fischl, Jean, and Shenhe into one refined character dressed as a chef.

Cryo Damage from Afar: Her turret-style Skill stays active all the time. It dishes out constant Cryo damage making her ideal to freeze enemies in Freeze teams.
Teamwide Healing: Her Burst does heavy damage while restoring a big chunk of health to the whole team. The healing grows stronger based on her ATK.
Resistance Debuffing: One standout ability is her power to reduce Cryo and Hydro resistance, a feature tied to Anemo characters using Swirl reactions. Escoffier skips the tricky Elemental Mastery setups and debuffs enemies instead.
Boosting the Team: By giving her the right build, her passive talents alongside chosen artifacts can enhance your team's overall damage.

To sum it up, Escoffier has the potential to take on the job of two or even three other roles in a team, which makes her useful when tackling higher-level Spiral Abyss challenges where every team spot counts.

How to build the perfect Escoffier

Weapon: Pick polearms that give lots of Energy Recharge to keep her Burst active often. Favonius Lance works well as an early choice. Players willing to invest more might prefer weapons like Engulfing Lightning.
Artifacts: Aim for a 4-piece Noblesse Oblige or Ocean-Hued Clam set. Look for Energy Recharge, ATK%, and either Healing Bonus or Crit stats as sub-priorities.

Focus on upgrading her Elemental Skill and Burst first. Do not bother leveling up her Normal Attack talent.

Team compositions

Escoffier works in Cryo Hydro core teams because her kit suits Freeze compositions. She pairs well with:

Ayaka or Ganyu (Cryo main damage dealers)
Xingqiu or Yelan (Hydro units to trigger Freeze)
Kokomi or Mona (extra Hydro support or utility)

Her ability to reduce resistance helps amplify the performance of characters who might have trouble dealing with tougher enemies.
