Escoffier's Hold Skill can provide you with up to 10 special delicious dishes per week, but does not help you with cooking your enemies, so avoid using it during combat.
To maximize the use of Escoffier's Skill, consider the following:

  • Use it in a safe location, away from enemies and danger.
  • Combine it with other cooking methods to obtain a variety of dishes.
  • Keep in mind that Escoffier's Skill has a weekly limit, so plan your cooking accordingly.

Escoffier
OFF-FIELD DPS: Escoffier functions as an off-field DPS who delivers consistent off-field damage via her Elemental Skill, while her Ascension 4 Talent provides significant Cryo and Hydro Resistance shred. Her Elemental Burst and Ascension 1 Talent also contribute to team sustain by providing healing and nourishment.

  • Artifact Set Choices
    • Blizzard Strayer (4): Against freezable enemies this set edges out Golden Troupe (4) for personal DPS. Without reliable Freeze uptime it performs much worse and can be tricky to build around if you rely on Crit Rate-focused weapons.
    • Tenacity of the Millelith (4)/Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4): These sets substantially reduce Escoffier’s personal damage but grant useful team buffs and utility.

HIGH ENERGY REQUIREMENT (1-2 CRYO TEAM MEMBERS)
  • Weapon Choices
    • Deathmatch: Ranking assumes a single target. At R5 this weapon outperforms Staff of Homa for Escoffier’s personal damage.
    • Favonius Lance: Lower personal damage compared to many options, but provides team Energy generation and can be very valuable for team uptime.
    • Sacrificer's Staff: At R5 performs similarly to Engulfing Lightning for her personal output while offering extra burst uptime benefits.
    • Prospector's Drill: Escoffier can reliably attain high stacks from the second rotation onward; at R5 it performs close to Lumidouce Elegy.
    • Mountain-Bracing Bolt: At R5 it performs slightly better than similar ranking options in the same tier.

LOW ENERGY REQUIREMENT (3-4 CRYO TEAM MEMBERS)
  • Weapon Choices
    • Deathmatch: Ranking assumes a single target. At R5 this weapon performs the same as Lumidouce Elegy for Escoffier’s personal damage.
    • Sacrificer's Staff: At R5 its performance is close to Calamity Queller.
    • Prospector's Drill: Reliable high stack generation from the second rotation onward; at R5 it outperforms Staff of the Scarlet Sands.
    • Mountain-Bracing Bolt: At R5 it sits slightly above comparable options in this bracket.
    • Favonius Lance: Extremely detrimental to Escoffier’s personal damage if she lacks sufficient Energy Recharge (ER), but can increase overall team damage by providing frequent particle generation.
