HoYoverse has officially released the long-awaited character teaser for Escoffier, the five-star Cryo polearm wielder debuting in Genshin Impact Version 5.6. Titled “Escoffier: The Knife That Cuts Through Time”, the teaser gives fans their first in-game cinematic look at the Fontainian chef—and it’s nothing short of dazzling.
Set in the snowy elegance of Mondstadt’s outskirts, the teaser showcases Escoffier’s composed demeanor and sharp skills in both culinary mastery and combat. Seamlessly blending grace with precision, she narrates her philosophy of cooking as a way of preserving memory and emotion. The teaser underscores her central role in the upcoming freeze-focused team archetypes, hinting at her synergy with other Cryo and Hydro units.
What stands out most is the teaser’s emotional undertone—Escoffier is portrayed not only as a chef, but as someone deeply reflective of her past and the people she’s lost. Her combat preview shows graceful Cryo-infused slashes and what appears to be her signature off-field damage skill, subtly nodding to her upcoming impact on the meta.
With a resistance-shredding kit, strong sub-DPS potential, and teamwide healing capabilities, Escoffier is shaping up to be a powerful and flexible support. Her teaser adds a poignant depth to her character, making her more than just a stat-stick: she’s a story-rich addition to the Genshin cast.
Version 5.6 launches soon, and Escoffier’s banner will headline the first phase. For those planning their pulls, this teaser likely just sealed the deal.
