Stat Priority	ATK > ER > CRIT
Tier	S (Premium Support)

Escoffier is the former Head Chef of Hotel Debord and a master of precision gastronomy. She revolutionizes Cryo teams by offering ATK-scaled Teamwide Healing and consistent off-field damage through her "Cooking Mek," freeing up slots usually taken by healers or shielders.

Pros

Consolidates Sub-DPS, Healer, and RES Shred roles.
Turret (Skill) has 100% uptime (20s duration).
Shreds Hydro/Cryo RES without needing Swirl (Anti-VV).
Healing scales on ATK, increasing her personal damage.

Cons

High Energy Cost requires 200%+ ER in solo Cryo teams.
Single-target focus on Skill (Cooking Mek).
Passive restricts teams to Cryo/Hydro for max buffs.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (Support/Buff).
Alt Artifact: 4pc Noblesse Oblige or 2pc ATK / 2pc ER.
Best Weapon: Calming Cookware (Signature) or Engulfing Lightning.
F2P Weapon: The Catch (R5) or Favonius Lance.
Main Stats: SANDS: ATK% or ER | GOBLET: Cryo DMG or ATK% | CIRCLET: CRIT or ATK%.
Talent Priority: Elemental Skill = Elemental Burst > Normal Attack.
Top Team: Escoffier + Wriothesley + Furina + Kazuha (Premium Freeze).

Pro Tip: Unlike other healers, Escoffier scales purely with ATK. Do not build HP or Healing Bonus unless necessary. High Base ATK weapons (like Skyward Spine) are exceptionally good on her.

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Low-Temperature Cooking

Tap: Summons the "Cooking Mek" turret. Deals AoE Cryo DMG periodically to nearby enemies for 20s.
Hold: Repositions the Mek and targets a specific enemy, dealing increased damage.
Effect: The Mek follows the active character slightly (like Yae Miko's totems), ensuring consistent off-field Cryo application for perma-freeze.

Elemental Burst: Scoring Cuts

Cost: 80 Energy | Cooldown: 18s
The Heal: Instantly restores HP to the entire party based on Escoffier's ATK.
The Damage: Deals a large instance of AoE Cryo DMG. Excellent for clearing mobs or triggering a massive Melt nuke.

Passive: Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning

Res Shred: When the party contains at least 1 Hydro and 1 Cryo character, Escoffier shreds enemy Hydro and Cryo RES by 20% when her Mek hits. This effectively acts as a mini-VV set without needing Anemo.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Skill (Level 10) - Primary damage source.
Elemental Burst (Level 9) - For healing strength.
Normal Attack (Level 1) - Ignore.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Escoffier needs significant ATK for both damage and healing, but do not neglect Energy Recharge.

Team Context	Weapon	ER Requirement
Solo Cryo (Support)	Favonius Lance	210% - 230%
Double Cryo (w/ Wriothesley)	Offensive Weapon	160% - 180%
Triple Cryo (Mono)	Any	130% - 140%

Substat Priority:

Energy Recharge (Until requirements met)
ATK% (Scales DMG and Healing)
CRIT Rate / DMG (For personal damage)
Elemental Mastery (Only for Melt teams)

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City	BiS Support	Assuming she counts as a Natlan character (mechanically), this provides massive party elemental DMG buffs.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	General Buffer	Standard 20% ATK buff. Reliable if Scroll mechanics don't apply or you lack the set.
4pc Golden Troupe	Sub-DPS	Maximizes her Turret (Skill) damage. Use this if you have enough healing and want her to deal significant damage off-field.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Engulfing Lightning	ER%	S+	Provides massive ER and converts it to ATK. Perfect for her ATK-scaling healing and high burst cost.
Skyward Spine	ER%	S	High Base ATK (674) boosts her healing significantly while providing needed ER.
Favonius Lance	ER%	S (Support)	Excellent for battery roles. Lower Base ATK means less healing/damage, but better team consistency.
The Catch	ER%	A (F2P)	Decent ER and boosts Burst CRIT. Good if you want her to contribute more damage.

Constellation Value

Escoffier is feature-complete at C0, but C1 and C2 offer substantial damage increases.

C1: Pre-Dinner Dance - (Buff) When party is Hydro/Cryo, Skill/Burst use increases Party Cryo CRIT DMG by 60%. Huge for Freeze teams.
C2: Fresh, Fragrant Stew - (Damage) Cooking Mek generates "Cold Dish" stacks. Consuming stacks increases Party Cryo DMG by 240% of Escoffier's ATK. Adds massive coordinated burst damage.
C6: Tea Parties Bursting With Color - (Sub-DPS) Cooking Mek fires additional Cryo projectiles when the active character attacks. Transforms her into a Cryo Xingqiu/Yelan.

Verdict: C0 is excellent. C1 is the best stopping point for support.

Top Team Compositions

1. Premium Freeze

Main DPS: Wriothesley / Ayaka
Sub-DPS: Furina
Support: Escoffier
Anemo: Kazuha

Why it works: Escoffier consolidates the Healer + Cryo Resonance role perfectly. Her teamwide heal maxes Furina's Fanfare instantly. Her passive shreds Cryo RES, allowing Kazuha to focus on grouping or double-swirling.

2. Mono Cryo

Main DPS: Wriothesley
Sub-DPS: Shenhe
Support: Escoffier
Anemo: Kazuha / Jean

Why it works: In unfreezable content (Bosses), this team pumps out raw Cryo damage. Escoffier benefits massively from Shenhe's Quills because her turret hits frequently.

Rotations & Combos

Standard Support Rotation:
Furina E Q > Kazuha E Q > Escoffier Q (Heal/Buff) E (Turret) > Main DPS

Tip: Always use Burst *before* Skill if you have C1/C2 to ensure the buffs are active for the turret's duration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is she better than Charlotte?
Yes. Escoffier offers RES Shred (Passive) and Crit buffs (C1) that Charlotte lacks. Her damage contribution is also significantly higher. However, Charlotte is 4-star and easier to obtain.

Why ATK% artifacts?
Unlike HP-scalers (Kokomi/Furina), Escoffier's healing and damage both scale with **ATK**. Building HP does nothing for her.
