A new Genshin Impact leak reveals the kit details for the upcoming Anemo user Ifa who is expected to join the roster in update 5.6.
Escoffier was also teased in the recent character trailer for the newly released five-star, Varesa. The scene showed the back of Escoffier’s model, confirming that she holds a Cryo Vision. Before each new update, Genshin Impact hosts a beta test server that includes most of the upcoming content for the next update. The current beta version for Genshin Impact Version 5.6 features all the key details about new characters, including Escoffier. According to beta leaks, Escoffier is expected to be a support character, as her effects remain active even when she leaves the field.
Genshin Impact 5.6: Escoffier Complete Kit Revealed
- Escoffier’s Normal, Plunging, and Charged Attacks are fairly simple and do not include any special effects.
- Elemental Skill – Tapping this skill activates Low-Temperature Refrigerator Mode, dealing AoE damage to surrounding enemies. During this effect, a Culinary Mechanism follows the active character and periodically attacks nearby enemies. Holding this skill makes Escoffier enter Improvised Cooking Mode.
- Elemental Burst – Escoffier demonstrates her knife skills, dealing AoE Cryo damage and restoring HP to all nearby allies, scaling with ATK.
- Talent 1 – Using her Elemental Burst grants a 9-second effect that periodically restores HP to the active character.
- Talent 2 – When there are Hydro or Cryo characters in Escoffier’s party, she decreases enemies’ resistance to these elemental damage types. The amount of elemental shred depends on the number of Cryo and Hydro characters in her team, making her an excellent choice for Genshin Impact’s Freeze teams.
Overall, many fans believe Escoffier could become a top choice for players who enjoy Hydro and Cryo team compositions. Some have praised HoYoverse for giving more attention to the Cryo element in the recent updates, as Cryo characters have gradually become less popular in Genshin Impact.
However, others dislike that Escoffier’s full supportive potential is limited to Hydro and Cryo teams. Some players wish HoYoverse would make her more flexible and able to adapt to many different team composition types in Genshin Impact. Since Escoffier is still in beta testing and there are around six weeks until Genshin Impact Version 5.6 arrives, there is a chance that HoYoverse could adjust her kit based on player feedback.
