Best Weapons for Escoffier

1. Symphonist of Scents (5★)

Her signature polearm.High CRIT DMG, ATK-boosting passive, and tailor-made to amp up both her healing and Cryo output. No brainer if you’ve got it.

2. Calamity Queller (5★)

Excellent off-field synergy. Grants massive ATK when not on-field—perfect for Escoffier’s backline playstyle.

3. Staff of Homa (5★)

For those craving more CRIT DMG. While it’s better on HP-scalers, Escoffier can still capitalize on the stat boost if built for burst damage.

Great Battle Pass option. Boosts CRIT Rate and ATK depending on enemies nearby—reliable and consistent.

5. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi (4★, F2P)

A solid freebie. Decent Energy Recharge and ATK, ideal for smooth burst uptime and team healing.

Best Artifact Sets

She scales with Elemental Skill DMG, and this set maximizes it — especially off-field. With up to 70% Skill DMG boost if she stays off-screen, it’s perfect for her playstyle.Main stats to aim for:
  • Sands: ATK%
  • Goblet: Cryo DMG Bonus
  • Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

2. Blizzard Strayer

A great fallback for Freeze teams. More CRIT Rate, more Cryo DMG — just make sure your team can consistently freeze enemies.

3. Tenacity of the Millelith

If you’re focusing on her support side, this one’s worth trying. Buffs the whole team’s ATK and helps shielders too.
