Source: IGGMEmilie is a brand new 5-star Dendro character coming in Genshin Impact 4.8.
In this build guide, I’ll cover her kit, the best Artifacts, including Deepwood Memories, Unfinished Reverie, and Golden Troupe. Then Stats you should look for, Attack or Elemental Mastery. And finally, the weapons she can use.
Keep in mind that Emilie is still in beta, and the information we cover here may change by the time of the official release. Without further ado, let’s get started with her kit.
Kit
Emilie is a 5-star Dendro damage dealer that can be used off-site. She wields a Polearm when attacking and has a Critical Damage Boost bonus.
Emilie’s normal attacks deal 4 physical damage, with little impact on other skills. Unleashing elemental skills deals AoE Dendro damage and creates a Lumidouce Case. Lumidouce Case is a turret, similar to Yae Miko’s ability. This Lumidouce Case will periodically deal Dendro damage to opponents within a large radius.
When nearby opponents are currently affected by Burning, they will generate scents every 2 seconds. These scents can be collected by Lumidouce Case, and every 2 scents will cause Case to upgrade, increasing its damage and radius.
Lumidouce Cases start at level 1 and can be upgraded up to level 2. However, please note that only 1 Lumidouce Case can exist at a time.
Emilie’s Elemental Burst creates a level 3 Lumidouce Case that deals Dendro damage within a certain radius, similar to Ganyu’s Burst.
Level 3 Elemental Burst does not collect any scents. Once the duration expires, a level 1 Lumidouce Case will be created. If there is an existing Lumidouce Case before Emilie’s Burst is used, Case will be recreated and its duration reset. This Burst has an energy cost of 50.
Passive
Speaking of her Passives, Emilie’s first Passive will trigger once a level 2 Lumidouce Case has collected 2 scents. Once triggered, Lumidouce Case will release a stream of Cleardew Cologne that deals AoE Dendro damage equal to 600% of Emilie’s attack power. It’s worth noting that this damage is not considered elemental skill damage.
Her second Passive will increase the damage dealt by burning to the opponent. Emilie will increase her damage by 15% for every 1,000 attack power she has, up to a maximum of 36% damage this way.
To get the most out of this Passive, you’ll need 3,000 or more attack power, which can be achieved by using an attack buffer like Bennett in your Genshin Impact Account and activating Pyro Resonance.
Finally, in lieu of a Utility Passive or Exploration Passive, Emilie has another Passive that protects your teammates from burning damage. When Lumidouce Case is present, all teammates will gain 85% Pyro resistance to resist burning damage.
Talent Priority
Before introducing Artifacts, we need to understand Emilie’s Talent priority: upgrade skills first, then Burst. Because level 1 and 2 Lumidouce Case will create scale according to skills, and her Burst will do good damage. But Emilie’s normal attacks don’t contribute much. You don’t have to upgrade them.
Artifacts
Speaking of Artifacts, the new Burning Set, Unfinished Reverie, will be her best choice.
Unfinished Reverie
The 2 piece bonus of this equipment increases attack power, and the 4 piece bonus increases damage by up to 50% when there are burning enemies nearby. If there are no burning enemies for 6 seconds, the damage bonus will be reduced until it reaches 0.
This equipment set is very suitable for Emilie because both require nearby enemies to be affected by burning to work. When this set was first announced, I thought it might be designed for a future character, and that future character turned out to be Emilie.
Deepwood Memories
Deepwood Memories is also a good choice if there are no other current party members. This set provides a Dendro damage bonus, and when the user’s skill or Burst hits the opponent, their Dendro resistance is reduced by 30%.
Deepwood Memories is good choice for Emilie, but it is a better choice for other party members. Any party member can use Deepwood, and simply hitting the enemy with a Burst or skill will provide a Dendro resistance reduction.
Golden Troupe
Golden Troupe does not perform as well as the other two sets because it only provides an elemental skill damage bonus. While Emilie is able to deal a lot of elemental skill damage, her first Passive accounts for a large portion of her damage, and the damage caused by her Passive does not count as elemental skill damage.
Although Golden Troupe provides the most elemental skill damage, the other sets perform better because of the increased damage of Passives.
Stats
Before discussing stats, let’s talk about Energy Recharge. Emilie’s Burst creates a level 3 Lumidouce Case, deals quite a bit of damage, and then creates a level 1 Lumidouce Case. So it’s even possible to rely on her Burst alone to create a Lumidouce Case.
Overall, her Burst is useful, but Energy Recharge required can be a bit high. Since Emilie has a 50 Energy cost and is off the field without a second Dendro unit on the team, Emilie needs about 160% to 180% Energy Recharge to sustain Burst. If you add another Dendro unit, Energy Recharge drops by 30% to 40%. However, I wouldn’t recommend charging Emilie that much, as you might start to lose damage.
While her Burst still deals decent damage, sacrificing skill damage to sustain Burst isn’t worth it. However, these are just estimates and don’t take into account the fact that multiple waves of enemies.
Therefore, for the main stats, it is not worth choosing Elemental Mastery to increase her burning damage. Ideally, choose Dendro damage, which you can use if your attack goblet has better substats and allows you to get extra stacks for her passive.
Weapons
When it comes to weapons, Emilie doesn’t have the most outstanding choices.
So, as always, her signature weapon, Lumidouce Elegy, will be her best weapon. The weapon has base attack damage of 608 and a 33% increase in critical strike rate.
As for its effects, it increases attack damage by 15%, and when the wielding character triggers burning or deals Dendro damage to a burning opponent, the damage dealt will be increased by 18%, up to 2 stacks.
Once 2 stacks are reached, 12 energy will be restored, which can be triggered every 12 seconds. These effects can also be triggered off-field. This weapon provides Emilie with many powerful properties. It can even reduce your energy consumption by about 30% because it will provide additional energy.
The other 5-star weapons are pretty good too, and not too far off from her signature weapon. Calamity Queller, Staff of Homa, and Staff of the Scarlet Sands are all good choices.
Overall, Emilie does have some options available, including multiple 5-star weapons and some 4-star weapons, but seems to lack a strong free option.
That’s all for this guide. Keep in mind that Emilie is still in beta, so the information in this guide may differ from the final version. Regardless, let’s look forward to her arrival!
