In short: Escoffier is the best support for Freeze. She deals solid off-field damage, heals the whole team and heavily shreds enemy Hydro and Cryo RES. Both her damage and healing scale with ATK, so the build revolves around ATK and crit, while Energy Recharge keeps her Burst up consistently.
How she plays: tapping Low-Temperature Cooking summons the Cooking Mek in Cold Storage mode. It follows the active character and fires Frosty Parfaits, keeping Cryo on enemies at all times. Holding the Skill sets up the Mek for cooking food and isn't used in combat. Her Burst, Scoring Cuts, deals AoE Cryo damage and heals the whole team, then keeps healing the active character for 9 more seconds.
Team composition is everything: her passive Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning lowers enemy Hydro and Cryo RES by 5/10/15/55% with 1/2/3/4 Hydro or Cryo characters in the team. The gap between three and four is huge, so the whole team should be Hydro and Cryo. Freeze itself isn't required: the shred applies on any Skill or Burst hit.
Stats: ATK 2000+, Energy Recharge 160–180% (less with other Cryo characters in the team), Crit Rate 60–70%, Crit DMG 120%+.
Partners: she shines most with Skirk. Ayaka, Neuvillette and Wriothesley also fit. Furina is in almost every team: Escoffier's healing fills Furina's gauge quickly. Shenhe and Citlali add Cryo and boost damage, and Vodyanitsa adds a second RES shred.
Constellations: signature weapon or C1 first. C1 is one of the strongest constellations for Freeze: with four Hydro and Cryo characters, the whole team gets +60% Cryo Crit DMG. C2 adds damage to allies' Cryo attacks, C6 adds extra parfaits from the active character's attacks.
Weaknesses: outside Hydro/Cryo teams her RES shred almost disappears, and Escoffier becomes an ordinary healer with off-field damage.
On the banners: Escoffier returns in the second phase of 7.1, from October 13, together with Skirk and her polearm Symphonist of Scents.

Is it worth pulling team damage gain, gcsim simulation
How much the whole team's damage grows compared to C0 with Kitain Cross Spear (R5). Gains are cumulative: C2 includes C1.
If you pick one, the weapon gives more — and weapon banner pulls don't use up your character pity either.
How we calculated
The team comes from the open gcsim simulation database — the one closest to the teams in this guide. Only this character was changed: constellation and weapon. Teammates, artifact sets and rotation stay as in the original simulation; the whole team's substats are optimized to KQM standards separately for each weapon. C0 with Kitain Cross Spear: 90,088 damage per second.
The gain depends on the team and investment: treat it as a guideline, not an exact number for your account. Original simulation · gcsim 4eda9fc, 2026-10-17
