1. Give me the reasons why someone sane of mind should choose her instead of Kazuha,Citlali or Xilonen? she is Shenhe 2.0 and will break the record of how fast she will die.

   • First of all, chill mate.
     Second, because she can work together with all the three you mentioned much better than Shenhe, given that she gives an unconditional hydro+cryo RES shred just by being in the team in a similar fashion as Xilonen does and, unlike Shenhe, Escoffier base perks are basically always active.

   • She deals nice dmg, she can use Shenhe quills, she heals team wide so pair well with Furina, she free your Kazuha or Xilonen for another team.

     She will better in ST scenarios than all the unit you mentionned. For freeze team and mono cryo, she will be better than Xilo and Citlali, but Kazuha will stay better in AoE because of swirl dmg and grouping.

     But you are right about the pull value for a new player, if you don’t have any of the four unit mentionned, Kazuha or Xilo will be more versatile.

   • thank the lord we have someone with a brain, also she demands a very specific team element spread for her max shred. its turbo cap bs. somone who only brings dmg to the table for the most part isnt interesting. also people have this weird idea that a signature should just be inherently counted as part of her kit. this is dumb af

     • I mean… its called their signature for a reason. With that logic, just run Beginner’s Protector or something.

       Weapons are a VERY vital part of a characters kit – its stupid to think otherwise. Take the Favonius series as an example, 90% of the time u want at least 1 user on ur team because of its effect. Fav sword is basically Furina’s 4star sig anyway – the same could be said for ANY buffer.

       • If signature is a vital part of a character, then Hoyo should make them guaranteed like WUWA and stop being greedy

         • why like wuwa? why not make them guaranted on 30 pull?
           both of them are greedy dev!

         • genshin, unlike wutheMID graves also gives nice 4* options. And you cna find way to either work around or mitigate the problems that come with not using signature. Also said signature weapons still work in some way or the other with other existing characters.

           Meanwhile wuwa has none of that, it makes their weapon be what is essentially HSR lightcones. Also the game is overall slop or unpolished mediocrity.

         • i think you should actually play games andre

2. boring design. you can assume Natlan design team made this character.

   • Contrary to you. I find Natlan character designs are very interesting and eyecatching, really. Also add their exploration devices or rides.

     I have no idea how is your taste if you say Natlan char design is boring. 😄

   • Escoffier is literally the first Fontaine 5-star character design that I like! Aside from a few 4-stars like Lynette and Charlotte, Fontaine has had my least favorite designs out of any nation in Genshin Impact. (I skipped almost every banner in the 4.X patches for this exact reason.)

     I’m glad to see a 5-star from Fontaine that I’ll actually be willing to spend money on. Planning to go for at least C1R1, but I might go C4 if the 4-stars on her banner are good. We’ve been having some crazy awesome 4-star lineups recently, so I hope Escoffier can continue that trend. (I’m hoping for Lan Yan, Kuki, Yao Yao, and/or Charlotte personally) =^-^=

   • The multipliers on her E is not that bad, and given that her healing incentivises Furina as a teammate, she will deal non-neglegible damage. She also has a much higher base ATK than lets say, Charlotte or Jean; and her all-hydro/cryo requirement means she has less (if not none) energy problem, so she will be able to provide plenty of healing despite her healing multipliers being lower than Charlotte (and Escoffier has a 15s CD rather than Charlotte/Jean/Sayu’s 20s, so it’s barely lower depending on the team). The higher base ATK and lower energy requirement also means she can easily invest more into damage, maybe ATK/ATK/Crit artifacts.

       • And why not?

         If you used your eyes, then your brain, u’d realise that just because character can do damage, doesn’t mean you should use personal damage orientated sets.

         In a team Revolving around: Escoffier, Furina and Shenhe/Citlali supporting 1 main-field dps, I’d choose to further buff the Main-field dps rather than boost Escoffier’s personal damage. Why? Because they’re supports first and foremost. You, the player, aren’t using Escoffier with the initial idea of her personal damage, but for the support she provides – same w/ Furina and any other support.

         Now, I won’t and can’t fix all stupidity in the world, but I can at least try to inform the misinformed:

         “Song of Days Past” buffs your active character based on the amount of healing the user has dished-out, including over-healing. Escoffier is a healer & debuffer, so it goes to say that “Song of Days Past” is probably her best and intended set. She wouldn’t heal otherwise

         The devs plan things out months, or even years ahead. It’s no coincidence that when an artifact set releases with seemingly no-one to use it effectively, a character that releases in the future could have/want that set as their preferred option.

   • Forward Melt teams, Wriothesley, Ayaka, idk

     If you’re pairing her with Wriothesley or Ayaka, C1 could be good to maximise DMG albeit with the all Cryo/Hydro team restriction.

9. so for one, surprise surprise people are claiming she’s bad, of course lol.

   And second I remember how so many people was complaining about freeze teams needing a buff, you basically have a healer, of field cryo dmg dealer with Hydro and Cryo resistance. yet you’ll see people people trying to downplay her as if no one wouldn’t pull for her for Furina’s teams or Neuvillette teams. Heck maybe Wriothesley teams would be better with her in the teams.

   It’s just another case of people reading and just saying “Nahh must be bad cause no big dmg”

   • It’s not that hard to get why she’s “not good”. She definitely is good in her niche, but doesn’t seem worth it, probably she’ll be a support for Skirk more than the current freeze meta.

     Freeze has the current meta of Xilonen and Furina, Furina C0 has always had the problem of needing half your rotation to fulfill that fanfare’s cap, then, Furina is there for her damage than the buff itself, ’cause she’s one of the best SubDPS in the game, since Kokomi does literally nothing, Furina is by far the best choice. And frozen/permafreeze teams no longer matter, ’cause Abyss, the only content in the game where there is a reason to build your character, is full of bosses and enemies that don’t give a shit about being frozen, so yeah…

     If you play Escoffier, you can only use Cryo and Hydro characters, meaning you need to play Shenhe, Escoffier, Furina. The problem there is that Escoffier (just for now), we don’t know what types of buffs the food she cooks with the E gives, or if they give any buff at all or just heal, ’cause you’re loosing a massive damage buff from Xilonen (40%), even if Scoffier has more resistance shred, the damage buff that you loose for using her is MASSIVE, you in the case of the current freeze meta, you’re loosing more damage than what you’re gaining.

     Or well, you can just pull for her C1 and don’t care ’cause that gives 60% Cryo DMG… yeah… not P2W at all.

     • If you don’t count Escoffier’s personal damage, and that she can instantly cap Furina’s fanfare (unless everyone starts at full hp, which does happen in abyss but only on the beginning of the first chamber), then yes she would be weaker than Xilonen by ~23% assuming 10% res enemy (higher res goes in Escoffier’s favour but only slightly):

       Escoffier: 55% shred = 122.5% damage
       Xilonen: 36% shred × 40% dmg bonus = 158.2% damage

       However, when Furina’s fanfare is capped as soon as possible:
       Escoffier: 55% shred × 75% dmg bonus = 214% damage
       Xilonen: 36% shred × (40% + 75%) dmg bonus = 243% damage
       As you can see the gap already lessened to ~12%, and will close further with more dmg bonus in the team. Generally the team will have at least 50% more dmg bonus from artifacts and etc., which means the remaining difference (less than 8%) is easily supplemented, or even overcome, by Escoffier’s own damage (which, also benefits from Shenhe and all the forementioned buffs).

    • “a character that looks great” and it’s a female cook wearing an apron and high heels.

      The only technically fontanian characters that looks slightly eye-catching is Arlecchino, and Chiori i guess. The rest is monotonous slop that rivals mediocre character design with wuthemid graves
