She is quite straightforward to use and provides significant value to other Cryo and Hydro Main DPS characters. After unlocking all of her passive talents, you will be able to use Escoffier’s Elemental Skill to deal off-field Cryo DMG and reduce enemy RES to Cryo and Hydro depending on the number of characters belonging to these elements on the team.
Moreover, you can also trigger the RES shred with Escoffier’s Elemental Burst, which also restores HP for all party members based on her total ATK. This allows her to fill the slots of a Sub-DPS and healer in many team comps built around damage dealers like Skirk and Ayaka.
