Escoffier, the newest Genshin Impact 5-star character, is a very powerful, yet niche, sub-DPS. She has extraordinary buffs but she is also very restrictive when it comes to her teams.
Escoffier can only synergize with two elements, Cryo and Hydro, due to her kit. Therefore, finding out the best teams for Escoffier in Genshin Impact is a great way to ensure she performs at her best.
Escoffier Genshin Impact best teams
Escoffier truly shines in Freeze teams in Genshin Impact. This is because her second passive provides a 55% Hydro and Cryo RES Shred, which is a huge debuff for enemies.
With this in mind, Escoffier’s best teams in Genshin Impact include:
- Ayaka/Escoffier/Furina/Yelan
- Ayaka/Escoffier/Furina/Shenhe
- Neuvilette/Escoffier/Furina/Citlali
- Wriothesley/Escoffier/Furina/Shenhe
- Ganyu/Escoffier/Furina/Yelan
- Wriothesley/Escoffier/Furina/Citlali
- Skirk/Escoffier/Furina/Yelan (based on leaks)
Escoffier works best in teams where only Hydro and Cryo characters are included. This means that DPS characters like Ayaka, Wriothesley, and Ganyu will highly benefit from Escoffier’s buffs.
Ayaka, in particular, has lagged behind many DPS characters in Genshin Impact over the years. With Escoffier introduced in the mix, Ayaka should compete much better in terms of DPS and solidify her place in the meta as a powerful Freeze DPS.
Furina is easily Escoffier’s best sub-DPS partner, as she provides huge attack buffs and off-field damage. To round out teams, opting for supports like Yelan, Shenhe, or Citlali is a good choice.
There is a lot of discourse regarding Escoffier overshadowing Kazuha and Xilonen in Neuvilette’s best team. While Escoffier does work very well with Neuvilette, Kazuha and Xilonen will continue to perform great with Neuvilette.
However, the best Escoffier team in Genshin Impact might not come till Version 5.7, as this is when Skirk is rumored to be released according to leaks.
Skirk is speculated to be a Cryo DPS character that gains huge damage bonuses when only Hydro and Cryo characters in her team.
This could synergize perfectly with Escoffier’s passive, making her the best sub-DPS choice for Skirk in Genshin Impact.
