Why Is There Such A Big Sales Difference Between Escoffier And Navia In Version 5.6 Of Genshin Impact?
Genshin Impact has been using double banners for a long time. Each character has a separate Limited Character Banner, and players can use Genesis Crystal from Genshin Impact Top Up to obtain the character.
The first to appear in this Version 5.6 is Navia and the new character Escoffier from Fontaine. They are the banners that need to be extracted in Phase 1. Phase 1 of Version 5.6 was updated from May 7 to May 27, which means that if you want to get one of these two five-star characters, you need to hurry up.
According to reliable data, we can see the extraction data of Escoffier and Navia in this version. Unexpectedly, Escoffier’s extraction data reached an astonishing 85%, while Navia, who is widely regarded as the strongest Geo attribute and a favorite character among players, was not chosen by many people.
This difference in the extraction ratio is very surprising, so why is there such a big difference?
Navia: A Returning Character
As a rerun character, Navia was picked by many players when she was launched before. She is a Geo attribute, and the elemental reaction of Geo attribute is very limited. Although Navia’s single damage is high, the team is relatively simple, and the playability is not that high.
In addition, she does not appear much in the current version. There is no corresponding plot as a guide, so the players’ willingness to pick her may not be very high. Moreover, since Geo attribute has always been an element with limited reaction, Navia’s team flexibility will be much lower.
Escoffier: A New Character
As the only new five-star character in Version 5.6, Escoffier’s attribute is Cryo, which is suitable for playing the role of sub-DPS or support in a team centered on Freeze.
Freeze has always been a relatively strong and highly used elemental reaction in Genshin Impact. For example: Kamisato Ayaka, Yelan and other Hydro or Cryo elements have a high ownership and extraction rate for a long time because they can produce Freeze and cause considerable damage.
As a Cryo healer, Escoffie’s combat mechanism is also well designed. She can restore the team’s HP, and as long as there are Hydro and Cryo characters on the team, she can trigger her passive, which is very suitable for the Freeze team.
One of Escoffier’s most conspicuous advantages is that she can produce excellent damage with Neuvillette, the strongest Hydro element character at the moment, which quickly established her as one of the components of the strongest team.
At the same time, her ability is not limited to Hydro synergy, but can also react with Pyro, allowing her to perform well in the melt team.
Another possible reason is that according to some information, Skirk, a character that may be launched in subsequent versions, may be a very powerful Cryo DPS character, and Escoffier may be one of the best choices for Skirk’s team, and Genshin Impact also admitted that Skirk will be launched as a new character in Version 5.7.
So, how will you choose? Whether it’s the powerful Navia or the more flexible Escoffier, it all depends on your preferences and needs. After all, in Genshin Impact, it has always been believed that paying for your favorite characters is more important than any other reason.
Choosing a character you really like will always produce the greatest satisfaction. Good luck, traveler!
