2. Yeah…alright. They’re running out of Cryo ideas. Why they’re not letting a 4* Cryo unit be a Cryo support for once is an odd choice. Two 5* Cryo supports weren’t enough.
   “So…y’all rolled for C2 Citlali.? Yeah…about that…”

   • another missed opportunity from a braindead fucking team
     at least she does a very good damage, but she is NOT a cryo SUPPORT, because the only thing she does is
     1) conditional to freeze teams
     2) it’s just shred

     she’s not “better than shenhe” (unfortunately) and plus she’s not from natlan, so she can’t take full advantage from CC set

     she’s good? she’s more than good
     BUT
     she could be much well rounded

     but this team is made of idiots and we know it, i give up and i’m slowly playing more and more games
     im sick to see this shit work

     • Yeah. Mark my word, by the time Nod Krai rolls in, they’ll go “oh shit, we gave everyone so much shred resistances mean nothing anymore! Everyone, meet Pingas, our brand new Unshreddable enemy class! Have fun! (And give us your money.)”

     • What I meant was how Geo/Electro/Anemo have Gorou/Kujou Sara/Faruzan to buff their respective elements specifically as 4* characters, while Cryo just has Shenhe—a 5* who buffs the element. Mika could’ve been the 4* Cryo buffer, but they chose the Physical buffer niche for him. Lately they’ve been just opting for Hydro/Pyro resistance shred in 5* Cryo characters instead of just giving those two elements their own 4* buffers. Next, a Dendro 5* is somehow going to buff Cryo and/or shred Cryo resistance again (looking at whatever that IR buff is), and the next 4* Dendro will just buff Burgeon damage etc instead of Dendro damage itself.

       Not complaining at all. It’s just odd that they’ve suddenly stopped doing 4* element-specific buffers after doing four of them. But, then again…still no Hydro Claymore in sight. The only combination yet to be released.

       But, at the end of the day, new toy to pull for, unless they decide to lock her 55% shred behind cons.

3. Why they make escoffier kit looks like a Sub-DPS from her elemental skill? the multiplier looks so small compare to other sub-DPS charaxter multiplier.

   Also her BiS weapon don’t have energy recharge kit which mean she is energy issue (if her elemental skill don’t give instant elemental particles from casting the skill) and her heal is important if you want to use it with furina

   • It’s important to note how quickly attacks from Sub-DPS characters trigger.

     For example, Escoffier’s skill triggers a damage hit every second. On the other hand, Mavuika’s tap skill triggers every 2 seconds. Despite having nearly identical scalings (Escoffier’s skill at level 10 is 216% of attack, Mavuika’s is 230% of attack), Escoffier does almost double the raw damage due to attacks triggering twice as fast.

     In damage over time off field, Escoffier is among the best in the game. I’m not sure on exact numbers but I think only Emilie, Furina, and Yelan are even modestly stronger. And that is out of roughly 20 characters that I consider to be Sub-DPS units. So I would not describe it as “small”.

     In terms of her energy teams, Escoffier will likely be in team composition considering of either 3 Cyros + 1 Hydro or 4 Cyros. That should help quite a bit in getting the needing energy she needs to user her burst reliably.

       • Yes, you can proc the 12% elemental damage bonus from the 4-piece effect, but they won’t recover energy (2-piece effect) nor they’ll give the additional 28% elemental damage bonus (4-piece bonus effect). I use it on Albedo.

   • Golden troupe Is gonna be BiS

     for mainstat Atk atk healing with Furina or atk atk crit without

     dmg Is the best choice on circlet by far since you get 5+19.2+15 rate (base, ascension rate and cryo resonance)

     we have no data for now about ER requirements, but isnt gonna be High as Furina thanks to the 2nd/3rd cryo in the party that feed particles to her

     keep in mind that cryo dmg Is slightly worse or equal than atk%

     • With any 4 star weapon and fully levelled feather, ATK sands, and ATK goblet, she should have at the minimum 1800 ATK, which translates to 8000 healing for everyone on ult cast. When built properly she would have 2000~2700 ATK and her ult will heal 9000~10000 hp, which is usually enough unless her other three teammates are Furina, Neuv, and Layla.

       Note that with double hydro, Escoffier herself will have at least 21465 hp (at lv. 90 with lv. 20 flower), so she might not be able to overheal herself (for Furina’s passive) without healing bonus, which bodes ill for stacking fanfare, since the squishier teammates generally have similar max hp. So healing hat, or an unholy amount of ATK, or C1 on Furina which provides more incoming healing bonus (in particular the base 150 fanfare before it starts building up).

6. Shenhe is about to get power creeped. I mean, you can use Escoffier and Shenhe; don’t get me wrong, but from what their kit offers, Escoffier wins by a landslide.

   • wait, but it is not a direct power creep, they do not fit the same slot and provide different things. You cannot run Escoffier with anemo so it would probably fit that specific slot and their buffs are complimentary (at c0 at least). Shenhe provides 15% cryo dmg bonus, 15% bonus damage for a duration and a % of atk of per cryo proc (77% at rank 9) for x procs, while she should have in team an anemo character to provide the resistance shred – Escoffier just replaces the anemo character providing resistance shred (and can heal buff for furina).

     • Think about it right, Overload is good cause u can save units like Furina, Xilonen, Kazuha, etc – Escoffier will also fulfil this niche aside from the fact the Furina is going to be used with her 100% of the time – ur literally throwing if u don’t.(provided u own Escoffier, that is)

8. I don’t get this character. Like, on “what were they thinking” level. So, what is this new 5* unit is bringing to the table huh?
   Button one, plays very pretty NA animations, does nothing else because she’s an off-field support, too bad.
   Button two, a cryo turret with full uptime that maybe hits harder than Fischl on a good day; oh, and it doubles as a Parametric Transformer, because why the fuck not?
   Button three, tosses out some area damage and a party heal, wow never saw that one before.
   And that’s our new limited 5* unit, everyone, break out your credit cards. I’ve seen 4*s with better kits than this. Oh wait, she also has a passive that shreds Res and scales off party comp without limiting it. So, they want me to roll for a 5* whose main contribution to the party is EXISTING? Are you for real?

   • I will tell you something many people knows: you can skip and not wishing for a character you dislike (read: dislike). It saves you more primogems for any new character in future that you like (read: like).

     If you dislike a new character, skip it, don’t pull. There will always be new character in future that you might like or dislike.

     Believe. I skipped many character I dislike before, and for many reasons.

     • Oh, go ahead and miss the point some more (read: my point). The question is not “should I roll for this char” (hell, that’s clear as day). The question here is “when the hell will MHY finally release something worth rolling for”. Because I got one meaningful addition to my roster in the entire region. Everything else so far is either fugly as hell or is shackled to an awful kit. Or both. This is rapidly approaching the point where gems simply have no meaning anymore, because everything you can get for them is either years obsolete or just plain awful. And now we get a glorified artifact set on legs at competitive prices… And no, I don’t trust the game enough to wait a year for another archon only to have them fuck up again. This company has more money than they know what to do with, and the quality of their main IP is going steadily down. That wasn’t the case before, and that’s unfortunate (read: very sad).

       • I just feel you wanna vent and you chose this place lol. The natlan kits were some of the most spectacular ones we had in a long time. What do you even want from an off-fielder to do?

         She basically frees the anemo/healer slot for furina freeze comps, so you can have more versatility in those comps, womp womp. Imagine Furina+Escoffier in open world, you just sit there and watch the opponent slowly dying while they are unable to move due to the freeze lol. Usually freeze teams were underwhelming nowadays, having a lot of fixed slots (furina+healer+anemo for shred+main dps). Now you actually can have versatility in team comps – as someone that was a big fan of cryo in early versions, i cannot wait to experiment with her lol.

       • And even if the majority of players don’t agree that version 5 has been full of unappealing characters, your experience is still valid and worth sharing/discussing. I don’t expect every character to appeal to everyone, but having a whole region full of unappealing characters can’t be anything but disappointing.

         I like the Natlan designs in a vacuum, but I am not a fan of them in the context of Genshin. They feel out of place, to say the least. I’ve skipped most of the version 5 characters, and will probably skip Skirk/Escoffier. Yeah Escoffier is strong, but I am not a fan of the “chef’s bridal lingerie” visuals, even if she’s only on-field for mere seconds per rotation.

         I’m sitting on a pile of saved wishes, waiting for good characters, and if I miss out on some Primogem rewards because IT or Abyss or this rumored endgame mode is overly indexed on Escoffier/Skirk, I’ll just make peace with it. Better to save 75-150 wishes than to spend them just to get a few hundred primogems. Meanwhile, I’ll just try to enjoy the parts of this game that are good: music, some events, exploring new areas… yeah that’s about it for me. And the rest of the time, I’m enjoying other games. Played quite a bit more in 2025 thanks to reducing my Genshin efforts.

   • Are you a tourist?
     Beautiful NA animations on off-field characters happens a lot, they’ll have a C6 that makes NAs good. (e.g. Chiori, Furina, etc)
     Cryo turret deals a lot of damage, coupled with her passive that’s a gigantic RES debuff. Have you not seen how Chevreuse teams completely mog Dendro down into the gutter? Aggravate’s dead.
     Burst is to heal. Great that our debuffer brings a heal like Chevreuse.

     She’s incredible and will be meta defining.

   • recycle impact. game rated for 13 year olds. kids and retards actually prefer same press q, e switch out shit than different mechanics for different characters. plus it takes brains to innovate. so devs just change the visual and description. minimum effort = devs happy, retards and kids are the same. so win-win.

10. I’m kind of on the fence about this one. On one hand, Escoffier could be the push my Ayaka and Ganyu need to finally be good since, despite having 5-star weapons and both Shenhe and Kazuha to buff them, they don’t even come close to beating my Arlecchino team of her and three 4-stars in terms of damage.

    But on the other hand, she seems to be a dedicated support for Skirk and, honestly? I don’t care for Skirk at all. I was expecting her to look a LOT cooler considering what Childe says about her only for her to show up in Fontaine looking like a Star Rail character that’s barely a day older than the guy she trained from child(e)hood. I’ll just wait to see if Esco gets nerfed or something, I guess.

    • True! for current existing cryo, we don’t have many good (idk about wrio since i dun have him). So I’m really looking forward to skirk…many has been a fan of her and I’m one, but I’m so hoping for a new cryo meta! Nowadays, I only have ayaka and she struggles in both abyss or theater that design to use cryo.

      I use Xilo, Furina, Shenhe, and Ayaka…and if I replace Shenhe -> Benny and Ayaka to any pyro from 2.0, the team is stronger than Ayaka against their respective enemies.

      Still love Ayaka, but it’s frustrating to not full stars on first try (I’m too lazy to attempt many times)
