This is the definitive guide to building the strongest Emilie in Genshin Impact – optimized weapons, artifacts, talents, and team comps.
With the upcoming arrival of Genshin Impact‘s Version 4.8, players are eagerly anticipating the debut of Emilie, the game’s newest 5-star Dendro character. As Fontaine’s most renowned perfumer, Emilie brings an intriguing blend of lore, personality, and combat potential to the table.
When equipped and built properly, Emilie can enable powerful Dendro reactions in a variety of team compositions!
Before looking into the specifics of Emilie’s build, let’s first find out Emilie’s character details. This is Emilie’s complete character information:
Emilie | |
Rarity | 5-Star |
Element | Dendro |
Weapon | Polearm |
Strengths | Emilie excels at enabling and triggering Burning, Burgeon, and Quicken reactions. She provides teamwide buffs to Pyro RES and DMG against Burning targets. |
Weaknesses | Her damage ceiling is not quite as high as premier Dendro carries like Nahida or Alhaitham. |
As a Dendro Sub DPS, Emilie heavily focuses on dealing Dendro DMG both on and off-field with her Skill and Burst. She particularly excels at enabling and triggering Burning-related reactions like Burgeon while providing defensive utility for the team.
Emilie’s choice of polearm greatly impacts her overall damage potential and playstyle. Here are her top picks, from her signature 5-star weapon to viable 4-star alternatives:
Weapon | Image | Description |
Lumidouce Elegy | – | Emilie’s signature weapon. Offers a substantial CRIT Rate substat and an Elemental Mastery stat bonus. |
Staff of the Scarlet Sands | Has a high CRIT Rate substat and ATK% bonus based on the wielder’s total ER%. | |
Deathmatch | Has a high CRIT Rate secondary stat, ATK% boost, and conditional DMG Bonus. | |
Kitain Cross Spear | A strong F2P pick thanks to its EM substat and Energy restoration effect. |
Other top options include Primordial Jade Winged-Spear and Dragon’s Bane.
Emilie’s ideal Artifact sets focus on maximizing her Dendro DMG, Reaction DMG, and overall stats. Here are her best options:
Artifact | Image | Description |
Unfinished Reverie | Provides a massive 50% DMG Bonus after leaving combat that lingers as long as Burning is triggered consistently. | |
Deepwood Memories | Provides a sizable 15% Dendro DMG Bonus, while the 4-piece reduces opponents’ Dendro RES by 30% for the whole team. |
Before acquiring 4-pieces of the above sets, 2-piece combinations of Deepwood Memories (+15% Dendro DMG), Wanderer’s Troupe (+80 EM) and Tenacity of the Millelith (+20% HP) can work as temporary alternatives.
These 2-piece mixes offer decent stat bonuses to enhance Emilie’s Dendro DMG and Reaction DMG until her ideal sets can be farmed.
Thanks to Emilie’s strong off-field Dendro application, EM sharing, and Burning synergy, she slots well into a variety of teams. Here are some of her strongest compositions:
Emilie Best Team Composition 1 | |||
Emilie | Bennett | Kazuha | Fischl |
This team maximizes Burning and Overload DMG by combining strong Pyro and Electro applications with Emilie’s Dendro.
Emilie Best Team Composition 2 | |||
Emilie | Dehya | Xingqiu | Nahida |
For a Burgeon-focused composition, pair Emilie with Thoma or Dehya for strong Pyro, Xingqiu or Yelan for Hydro, and Nahida for additional Dendro.
Emilie Best Team Composition 3 | |||
Emilie | Nahida | Bennett | Yaoyao |
Emilie can also function well as an off-field Dendro support for teams built around other Dendro carries like Nahida or Yaoyao.
So that’s all the key info you need to get the most out of Fontaine’s charming new perfumer! While Emilie may not be a hypercarry on the level of someone like Nahida, her strong Dendro application, Burning synergy, and team buffs make her a valuable pickup for players looking to vaporize the competition.
Will you be wishing for Emilie when patch 4.8 drops? Planning to make her your new Main DPS or slot her into an existing Dendro team?
