Meet Escoffier: Fontaine’s Cryo Chef
Escoffier, a 5-star Cryo Polearm user, is set to dazzle in Genshin Impact 5.6 with her La Chanson Cerise banner, running from May 7 to May 27, 2025. Hailing from Fontaine, this ex-Head Chef of Hotel Debord brings a unique culinary flair to the battlefield.
Known for her “precision gastronomy,” Escoffier’s Elemental Skill deploys a Cooking Mek for off-field Cryo damage, while her Burst unleashes AoE Cryo damage and heals allies based on her ATK. Her kit excels in Freeze teams, offering Hydro/Cryo RES shred that scales with team composition.
Whether you’re a fan of her strict yet passionate personality or her synergy with Cryo DPS units, Escoffier is a game-changer for players looking to spice up their roster.
“The Fairy of Fondant Felicity? Oh, Escoffier’s hardly the terror the papers make her out to be. She simply loves cooking, and she can be a bit… strict about it. Like cinnamon and vanilla!” — Navia
