Developer HoYoverse is back with a new Genshin Impact character teaser. It focuses on Escoffier, the new 5-star Cryo Polearm arriving in Version 5.6. In addition to being an overpowered Cryo buffer, she’s also a famous Fontaine chef. Escoffier’s image as one meticulous in both the kitchen and its management has proved long-lasting, while her merciless critiques of both colleagues and apprentices have made her quite the hot topic in the culinary world.
“Only by having a good foundation can one even start to think of innovating upon it. This is what Escoffier expects of her students. Even occasional mistakes can become a wellspring of inspiration… However, after the fact, everyone will have to face an iterative loop stricter than ever before.”
Escoffier’s combat style blends culinary flair with elemental power. Her Elemental Skill allows her to summon the All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek, which can either stay in place to absorb Elemental Attacks and prepare food items, or follow the active character to serve up continuous blasts of Cryo DMG. Beyond dishing out damage, Escoffier also brings reliable support to the table.
Her Elemental Burst heals allies, and both her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst reduce enemies’ Hydro and Cryo RES, an effect that strengthens with more Hydro or Cryo teammates.
