Escoffier’s complete gameplay kit inGenshin Impact5.6 has leaked, and based on the information that has been shared so far, the new playable character may be precisely what we’ve needed for years.Escoffier has been confirmed to be a new playable unit in Version 5.6 after a series of leaks– developer HoYoverse confirmed her upcoming release through drip marketing posts on social media, showcasing that she is both a character from Fontaine and that she is in possession of a Cryo Vision. This means that Escoffier will join the considerably short list ofCryo characters inGenshin Impact.
Until now, the developer has not provided more details about Escoffier, such as her rarity, her weapon of choice, and her role in team comps. These details will likely only be confirmed by HoYoverse during the Version 5.6 livestream, but that is still about a month away from happening considering the game’s regular schedule. Nevertheless,the Version 5.6 beta tests have already started, and, because of them, several leaks about the patch are arising. There had already been someleaks about Escoffier inGenshin Impact5.6, but now a more substantial set of leaks has emerged, fully detailing her kit.

Every Detail About Escoffier’s Gameplay Has Been Revealed
According to information provided by the leaker known as HomDGCat, who is a fairly reputable leaker,Escoffier’s complete gameplay kit has leaked, highlighting all the details about her abilities, including her Constellations. The leak was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. As seen in the leak, Escoffier is a Cryo polearm character who has a CRIT Rate sub-stat. Based on the leak, it seems like Escoffier’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks don’t have anything different about them, such as the Charged Attack inVaresa’s build inGenshin Impact, which throws her into the air.

Escoffier’s Kit In Genshin Impact 5.6 Explained
The Character Seems To Operate As A Cryo Sub-DPS & Support
As was previously mentioned, Escoffier’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks don’t feature anything necessarily special, but that changes drastically with her Elemental Skill. According to the leak, Escoffier’s Skill has two distinct forms inGenshin Impact: Tap and Hold. When used in the Tap version, Escoffier allegedly creates the All-Spectrum Multi-Use Cooking Mek in the Cold Storage mode, which deals AoE Cryo DMG to nearby enemies upon being summoned. After that,the leaked Cooking Mek follows the team comp’s active character and fires Frosty Parfaits at nearby enemies at fixed intervals, dealing Cryo DMG to them.
As seen in the leak, the Cooking Mek’s Cold Storage mode has a duration of 20 seconds.
Furthermore, Escoffier’s Skill will also be connected to theArkhe system inGenshin Impact. At fixed intervals of 10 seconds,Escoffier will summon a Surging Blade when activating her Cooking Mek in the Cold Storage mode, which will deal Ousia-aligned AoE Cryo DMG. The Hold version of her Elemental Skill will allegedly see Escoffier create her Cooking Mek in the Off-the-Cuff Cookery mode. In this mode, which is defined by her third leaked passive Talent, Escoffier places the Cooking Mek on the field and it can absorb elemental attacks. When enough energy has been gained, the Cooking Mek creates food dishes.
The Off-the-Cuff Cookery mode has a cooldown of seven days. As such, Escoffier will only be able to craft dishes with her Skill once a week. The leak also highlights Escoffier’s Elemental Burst. When triggered at a cost of 60 Energy, Escoffier deals AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP to all nearby allies based on her ATK. Her first leaked passive Talent is said to interact with her Burst inGenshin Impact5.6: after using the ability, Escoffier gains the Rehab Diet effect for nine seconds, restoring HP for the nearby active characters at intervals based on her ATK.
According to a leak by UncleBalls, which was shared onReddit, Escoffier’s passive healing effect has a trigger interval that is shorter than one second, meaning players can get up to nine healing ticks from the effect.
Escoffier’s second leaked passive Talent is what had originally been leaked.When the team comp has 1/2/3/4 Hydro or Cryo characters, Escoffier will decrease the Hydro RES and Cryo RES of any enemies hit by her Skill or Burst by 5%/10%/15%/55% for 12 seconds. Because Escoffier is a Cryo character herself, at least 5% Hydro RES and Cryo RES shred should be available at all times following her Skill or Burst, but this passive seems to incentivize the usage ofperma-freeze team comps inGenshin Impact.
Based on these early leaks, Escoffier’s perma-freeze team comp could work well with characters like Neuvillette, Wriothesley, Furina, Mualani, Yelan, Citlali, Ayato, and Kokomi.
Regarding Constellations,the leak says that Escoffier’s C1 will increase all nearby allies’ Cryo DMG CRIT DMG increased by 60% within 15 seconds after she uses her Skill or Burst if all allies are Hydro or Cryo. Her leaked C2 says that when she uses her Skill’s Tap mode, she gains Freshly-Prepped Delicacy for 15 seconds. With this effect, Escoffier gains 5 Cold Dish stacks. When allies (excluding Escoffier) deal Cryo DMG, they spend 1 Cold Dish stack to increase their DMG dealt by 240% of Escoffier’s ATK inGenshin Impact.
If multiple targets are hit with a single instance of Cryo DMG, stacks are consumed based on the number of hit enemies. Escoffier’s leaked C3 increases her Skill’s level 3 and its upgrade cap to 15.Her C4 makes Rehad Diet last six seconds longer, and while active, she has a chance of healing 100% extra HP and restoring 2 Energy to Escoffier when healing is triggered via Rehab Diet. The chance corresponds to her CRIT Rate, an effect that can be triggered seven times during one Rehab Diet rotation.
Genshin Impact 5.6 Leaks: New Free Event Weapon Explained
A new free event weapon has leaked for Genshin Impact 5.6, and while it may initially seem good, it could be a worse option than some 3-star bows.
Escoffier’s leaked C5 boosts her Burst by three levels and increases the maximum upgrade level to 15. Lastly, her leaked C6 is applied to her Skill’s Tap version.When the active character’s Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit enemies, the Cooking Mek fires another Special-Grade Frozen Parfait, dealing 350% of Escoffier’s ATK as AoE Cryo DMG, which is considered Elemental Skill DMG. This effect can be triggered every 0.5 seconds up to six times during each usage of Cooking Mek’s Cold Storage mode inGenshin Impact.
Why Escoffier’s Leaked Kit Is So Precious To Genshin Impact’s Future
Escoffier’s Release Could Address The Lack Of Cryo Sub-DPS & Prepare For The Rumored Cryo Meta
If the leaks are true, Escoffier’s kit is what players have been needing for a long time.It’s valuable to mention that the game does not currently have any reliable Cryo sub-DPS capable of providing off-field Cryo application on enemies. Players can use the 4-star Kaeya, but a 5-star unit dedicated to this task has been absent, and Escoffier could fix that. This character’s kit seems to match other Cryo-based mechanics arriving soon, such as theworld boss inGenshin Impact5.6, whose power can be obstructed by Cryo hits.
Genshin Impact 5.6’s New Weekly Boss Leaks Prove The Update Will Be A Strange One
New Genshin Impact 5.6 leaks have revealed an upcoming weekly boss, but there may be more about their inclusion than what it may initially seem.
Furthermore, new leaks about the weekly boss in Version 5.6, which were shared in a post onReddit, also indicate that Cryo hits will play an important role in mitigating the opponent’s incoming damage. With Escoffier and the two leaked bosses for Version 5.6, it seems like the game is heading into a much-needed Cryo meta, and Escoffier’s release is likely a way to address the absence of a role that has long been needed inGenshin Impact, which could make her extremely valuable as the game goes further into this supposed Cryo meta period.
