Genshin Impact Symphonist Of Scents

Symphonist of Scents: A Detailed Guide

The Genshin Impact Symphonist of Scents is an upcoming 5-star polearm weapon in Genshin Impact, first revealed through leaks from the Version 5.6 beta. It is noted as the signature weapon for the new 5-star unit, Escoffier, a Cryo Chef from Fontaine. The weapon’s lore connects to the ancient Remuria, adding depth to its in-game presence.

Weapon Overview

General Details

Type: Polearm
Rarity: 5-star
Signature Character: Escoffier
Base Attack (Lvl. 90): 608
Additional Stat (Lvl. 90): CRIT DMG 66.2%

Weapon Effect: One, Two, Three, Narukami / Seasoned Symphony The weapon’s skill, known as “One, Two, Three, Narukami” or “Seasoned Symphony”, provides significant ATK boosts:

Base ATK Increase: The equipping character’s ATK is increased by 12%.
Off-Field ATK Increase: When the character is off-field, their ATK is increased by an additional 12%.
“Chanson de Baies” / “Sweet Echoes” Effect: Upon initiating healing, the equipping character and any healed character(s) will gain the “Chanson de Baies” or “Sweet Echoes” effect. This effect increases their ATK by 32% for 3 seconds. This healing-triggered buff can occur even if the equipping character is off-field.

This weapon scales with CRIT DMG and provides a substantial ATK% boost. However, its full potential is tied to a healing mechanic, which can make it “a bit tricky to use”.

Usability and Recommended Characters

General Usability The Symphonist of Scents is primarily a CRIT DMG scaling weapon that significantly boosts its wearer’s ATK%. It also offers a team-wide ATK% buff that is activated through healing. It is considered an “S Tier” weapon for support due to its significant benefits for multiple characters.

Specific Character Recommendations The sources suggest several characters who can effectively utilize this polearm:

Escoffier: As the signature weapon, it is designed to greatly increase Escoffier’s damage and benefits directly from its ATK buffs.
Mika: Although Mika doesn’t benefit from the ATK stat itself, this weapon allows him to provide a powerful ATK buff to healed teammates, making it a strong support option.
Chevreuse: This weapon can increase Chevreuse’s personal damage and further supplement the buffs she provides with more ATK. She can also trigger the 32% ATK buff effect through her healing, which can last for 15 seconds per Elemental Skill use and affect snapshotting teammates like Fischl or Xiangling with her burst.
Xiangling: Xiangling scales well with ATK and CRIT Damage, which this weapon provides, making it a viable option for her despite not maximizing its full effect.
Iansan: The Symphonist of Scents is “amazing for maximizing the buff of Iansan”. Since Iansan has healing abilities, she can utilize the weapon’s effect to further enhance her buffs, although the CRIT DMG stat might be less efficient for her as she deals minimal personal damage.
Yaoyao: Can also make good use of the weapon, provided she has enough HP and Energy Recharge.

Weapon Lore

The Symphonist of Scents is deeply tied to the lore of Remuria, an ancient civilization in Genshin Impact’s world.

One of the four Harmosts of Remuria, Euergetia, played a song that allowed people who had lost their homes to “taste the home’s food again” through magic.
This act by Beneficent (Euergetia), an Harmonist, created a “harmony of all the memories” to maintain the morale of people who were soon to be converted into stone golems and would no longer feel thirst or hunger.
Despite Remuria’s eventual fall, this “love for food” continued into present-day Fontaine.
Euergetia was also responsible for forging the chains that bound Scylla.
There are connections to the “Athanatoi,” possibly a military formation or a general term for their golem-soldiery, with potential references to Byzantine or Persian groups.

This magical connection between music, memories, and the taste of food is a recurring theme, as seen in the alchemical traditions. This also links to the lore of characters like Diona, who was blessed by an Oceanid named Callirhoe (a spring fairy), which is why every drink she makes tastes good.
