Summary
- A leak reveals Escoffier's upcoming signature weapon, a five-star polearm with powerful ATK buffs.
- The weapon increases ATK by 12% and grants additional effects like Berry Ode, making it ideal for off-field support.
- Fans speculate on Escoffier's synergy with future characters like Skirk, hinting at potential team compositions.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed the signature weapon for the upcoming five-star Cryo user, Escoffier. This Genshin Impact character has been rumored for a couple of months now, and it seems like HoYoverse is finally going to add her to the roster, as she was recently teased in Varesa's character trailer.
Weapons, alongside artifacts, play the biggest role in every character's build in Genshin Impact, and every new five-star unit receives a signature weapon. These specially designed items appear on the game's Limited Weapon Banner, which usually lasts as long as the character banner.
Genshin Impact Leak Shows Escoffier's Synergy With Neuvillette, Furina, and Citlali
A new Genshin Impact leak reveals how well Escoffier performs when placed in a team composition that revolves around the Frozen elemental reaction.
While Genshin Impact's signature weapons are usually designed to synergize with the kit of the character they belong to, they can also be used by other playable units in the game. For example, a powerful bow such as the Aqua Simulacra was released alongside Yelan, but it can also be a great choice for multiple different bow users, such as Ganyu, Childe, and Yoimiya. Genshin Impact's recent beta leaks have all but confirmed that the upcoming Version 5.6 will feature the long-awaited chef character, Escoffier. The recent character trailer only showed Escoffier for a few seconds, but it confirmed that she wields a Cryo Vision. A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit shows details about a new five-star polearm that will serve as Escoffier's signature weapon.
Genshin Impact Leaks Stats for Escoffier's Signature Weapon
- Weapon Type: Polearm
- Weapon Rarity: Five-star
- Base ATK: 608
- CRIT Damage: 66.2%
- Passive Effect: Increases ATK by 12%. If the character is not on the field, ATK is increased by an additional 12%. When healed, the equipped and healed characters receive an effect called Berry Ode, which increases ATK by 32%. This effect can be triggered even when the user is off the battlefield, making it a great choice for off-field supports in Genshin Impact.
Players seem satisfied with the weapon's power, claiming that it could be a decent choice for several different characters. However, some comments have pointed out that the ATK buffs from the passive effect may not be as effective for Escoffier's team composition, as it will likely include at least two Hydro users. The damage output for most Hydro characters in Genshin Impact scales with HP rather than ATK.
Some fans speculate that granting such high ATK boosts might indicate that Escoffier will have great synergy with a future character. The primary candidate for this is likely Genshin Impact's mysterious character known as Skirk, who was teased by HoYoverse a long time ago. Recent leaks suggest she might finally join the roster in the upcoming months.
