Escoffier

Cryo Polearm Tier S Sub-DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Escoffier worth building?

Escoffier is an extremely worthwhile Cryo sub-DPS, close to the perfect puzzle piece for any Freeze, Melt, or Mono Cryo team since she applies Cryo, shreds Cryo and Hydro RES, and heals all at once. What matters most is enough Energy Recharge to cycle her Burst, then CRIT and a Cryo goblet. On artifacts: 4pc Golden Troupe is strongest against non-frozen enemies, while Blizzard Strayer fits better when you can keep foes frozen. The weapon is relaxed: a 4-star Deathmatch is plenty, so skipping her signature is fine. Farm your ER and a CRIT circlet first.
