Emilie's Tier & Rating

What Kind Of Character Is Emilie?

A Dendro Sub-DPS That Uses Burning to Increase Her Damage

Emilie is an Off-Field Dendro Sub-DPS who deploys a Lumidouce Case on to the field through her Elemental Skill. The Lumidouce Case is her main source of damage, and it can upgrade from Level 1 all the way to Level 3 by collecting Scents from Burning enemies. Increasing the level of the Lumidouce Case increases its damage, range and rate of fire.

Emilie is decent in her niche, but she doesn't really add more to the Burning reaction unlike Nilou, or redefined the strength of the reaction like Escoffier did with Freeze. She's average at best, and is often replaceable even in her stronger teams due to the lack of buffing capabilities.

Basics Of Using Emilie

Emilie is an Off-Field Dendro Sub-DPS who gains increased damage when an enemy is affected by the Burning reaction. This is the reaction that results from combining Dendro and Pyro together. This makes her best teammates be Pyro characters or other Dendro characters that can help maintain the Dendro aura.

Lumidouce Case, the Core of Emilie's Kit

Emilie's kit revolves around her summoned entity, a Lumidouce Case that can deal Dendro damage to enemies. It starts from a Level 1 state and can be upgraded to Level 3 when it collects "Scents." Scents are dropped every 2s by enemies affected by burning. Upon leveling up, the Case gains increased AoE, damage and attack frequency.

Both Elemental Skill and Burst can Summon a Lumidouce Case

Emilie is one of the rare Sub-DPS characters that are able to use both Active Skills to summon their Off-Field damage dealing entity. Dehya is another similar character with this unique mechanic.

Elemental Burst summons a Level 3 Lumidouce Case

Only Emilie's Elemental Burst can summon a Lumidouce Case at Level 3 immediately. It has greater range and damage compared to Level 1 and 2 Cases. If there are existing Cases when her Burst is used, it will be stowed away and stored, to be used later when her Burst ends.

Resummons the Case or Returns the Level 2 Case

At the end of Emilie's Elemental Burst, it creates a new Level 1 Case or it returns the Level 2 Case stored earlier. The duration of the Case will be reset as well. As such, her Elemental Burst is more preferred to be used compared to her Skill when it comes to summoning her Lumidouce Case.

Can Lower Burning Damage on Allies

Burning is one of the reactions that can cause damage to your party if you are within range. Emilie has a passive that lowers the damage taken from the reaction, which increases the survivability of her team.

Roles & Playstyle of Emilie and Her Strengths and Weakness

Off-Field Sub-DPS Emilie

Emilie performs at her best from an Off-Field position as a Sub-DPS. She favors teams where she can prolong the duration of the Burning reaction with Pyro characters and with an On-Field DPS that can take advantage of the consistent Pyro application, such as Melt, Vape, Mono-Pyro or Burning-oriented damage characters.

Pros and Cons of Off-Field DPS Emilie

Best Build for Emilie

Emilie is a Dendro Sub-DPS who prefers to be Off-Field and has a majority of her damage coming from her Elemental Skill and enhancing Burning damage. She has clear artifact preferences regarding 4-piece sets according to what her kit wants to do. See below for the recommendations.

Emilie Performs at Her Best with Pyro Characters

Weapon	Lumidouce Elegy
Best Artifact	Unfinished Reverie x 4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Dendro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate or DMG
Priority Sub-Stat	CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ER%
Recommended Team

Stat Goals For Off-Field Emilie

Though Emilie does amplify Burning damage, she does not need Elemental Mastery as the amplification scales with her ATK. Since she prefers Off-Field Burning play, Unfinished Reverie is her best Artifact Set as it boosts her ATK and overall DMG. You can also have a bit of Energy Recharge since her Burst provides high damage output.

Best Weapon for Emilie

Emilie's Signature Weapon is a strong weapon with Crit as its main stat, and it also gives her everything she wants for her to perform well: increased overall DMG and Energy.. The additional Energy gained from the weapon allows for cosistent Burst uptime. Emilie can still make use of other stat-sticks, but there are clear outliers.

Premium Weapons for Emilie

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Lumidouce Elegy	Get from Limited Banner - All the bonuses given by the passive is very effective on Emilie. - Crit Rate main stat makes building Crit DMG easier.
2nd	Calamity Queller	Get from Limited Banner - Provides large amounts of ATK. - Good for her off-field damage.
3rd	Staff of the Scarlet Sands Staff of Homa	Get from Limited Banners - Other limited 5-star polearms are usable as Crit stat sticks. - Perform similarly with small differences in damage. - Can be used if you have them.
4th	Deathmatch	Get from Battle Pass - Crit main stats makes balancing crit rate and damage easier. - May be underwhelming unless you fully refine it.

Lumidouce Elegy is a viable pull-choice even if you don't have Emilie or just plan to get her in the future. But only consider pulling if you have funds to do so.

Free To Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Emilie

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P (Event)	Missive Windspear	Reward From Past Event (Of Ballads and Brews) - Provides a lot of ATK% that Emilie appreciates. - No longer obtainable if you weren't active during the event.
2nd F2P	Blackcliff Pole	Purchased From Paimon's Bargain - CRIT DMG main stat can make getting the ideal crit ratio easier. - Passive requires enemies to be defeated, which can be hard to maintain in both single target and multi-target scenarios.
3rd F2P	Kitain Cross Spear	Inazuma Forgeable (Craftable) Weapon - Can give Emilie Energy, which she does need to use her Burst on demand. - Elemental Mastery is not good on her at all since her damage doesn't come from the Burning reaction itself. Her personal DPS scales with ATK%. - The bulk of the damage of the Lumidouce Case is from her Lingering Fragrnance passive, which isn't Skill DMG, this makes half of the weapon's effect suboptimal.

For Free-to-Play options, Missive Windspear is going to be her best option thanks to its ample amounts of ATK%. However, because its an event spear, there may be Travelers who do not have it. In this case, the next best option is the polearm from Paimon's Bargain by virtue of being a stat-stick. The Kitain Cross Spear isn't the best by any means, but if you have no other option, it's the one that has the most usability out of the other craftables due to the Energy and decent ATK amount it has.

Emilie Best Artifacts

Emilie's kit is very straightforward and has clear strengths and weaknesses. Her Artifact choices are going to align with what her kit normally wants to achieve in specific teams. See the recommendations below:

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Unfinished Reverie	★★★★★ - Increases Emilie's damage after leaving combat and when there are Burning enemies. - Best option to maximize Emilie's personal DPS. - Her strongest option if you want to keep her a Burning-focused Sub-DPS.
Deepwood Memories	★★★★・ - Allows Emilie gain Dendro DMG bonus and provide Dendro RES shred for a Dendro DPS like Kinich - Compromises Emilie's personal DPS, but is going to be the better option if no one else can hold this set in the team. - Better on other supports so Emilie can also benefit from the Dendro RES shred.
2pc. ATK 2pc. Dendro DMG	★★★・・ - A 2 piece combination of the above can be competitive with very good substats. - Use this setup when you're still farming for your 4pc. set.
Gilded Dreams	★★・・・ - This set or a combo of 2 piece Elemental Mastery is the choice if you plan to use Emilie for Nilou teams. - Not the most ideal usage of her kit, but because her Burst does apply AoE Dendro, it can be worth considering if you really want to.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: Flat HP Sub: CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: Flat ATK Sub: CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: DEF% Sub: CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: Dendro DMG Bonus Sub: CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate / ATK% / Energy Recharge
	Main: CRIT Damage / Rate Sub: CRIT DMG / CRIT Rate / ATK% / Energy Recharge

Emilie will typically want the usual offensive stats alongside some Energy Recharge% to get better Elemental Burst uptime. You want to avoid committing to Elemental Mastery for her since her damage doesn't directly come from the Burning reaction itself, but from the Lumidouce Case's attacks.

Best Team Comp Emilie

Burning Team with Kinich

Sub-DPS	DPS	Support	Support
Emilie	Kinich	Bennett	Mavuika
Details
- Emilie will have lots of Burning to pick-up Scents from thanks to Mavuika, and can also take advantage of Bennett's ATK buff. - Kinich gains Nightsoul Points to charge his Scalespiker Canon faster with this team due to Burning and Mavuika. - Bennett is the main sustain and provides a large ATK boost that all the other 3 can use. - Mavuika will apply Pyro, has a decaying DMG% boost after using her Burst, and can equip Deepwood Memories to shred Dendro RES for both Kinich and Emilie.

This team is very synergistic with what Emilie wants in a team. Her On-Field teammate will be Kinich, who also wants to have Burning maintained. This is likely one of Emilie's stronger teams, but it may not be Kinich's strongest lineup.

Other Team Comps For Emilie

Melt with Wriothesley

Team		Detail
Emilie	Wriothesley	- This one of Wriothesley's stronger Melt compositions with Emilie allowing Burning to exist on enemies, which lets Wriothesley trigger Melt pretty consistently. - The Burning is triggered with Mavuika who also provides the Cinder City set buff. - Bennett is the main sustain and gives the ATK% that all three of them need.
Bennett	Mavuika

F2P Friendly Team Comp

Team		Detail
Emilie	Bennett	- A F2P friendly team comp that uses free characters or easily obtainable ones. - Sucrose can be your On-Field character, but this team is more quickswap-oriented, where you swap between them to quickly get Elemental Bursts activated. - The Bennett and Xiangling core is very strong, so the DPS of the team is decent, but will still not compare to the top meta teams.
Xiangling	Sucrose

Team Rotation of Emilie and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Off-Field Sub-DPS Emilie

Emilie will want to have Pyro already applied beforehand so her Lumidouce Case can start collecting Scents as soon as possible. This rotation should still apply to most of her team archetypes since she's fairly easy to pilot.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Emilie

How To Use Emilie Skills & Passives

Burning Sub-Dps With Good Damage Potential

Since she also deals damage, Emilie wants to take advantage from any buffs that the team can give beforehand. Applying Pyro to an enemy first will also ensure her Lumidouce Case collects a Scent immediately when it's placed on the field. You will always want to use her Elemental Burst whenever it comes up, and its even possible to forego using her Skill and just use her Burst.

Elemental Skill Needs Scents From Burning Enemies

The Lumidouce Case is Emilie's primary source of DPS and it can be initially deployed through her Elemental Skill. It will first be summoned as a Level 1 Lumidouce Case.

When an enemy is Burning, they drop a Scent. The Case will absorb the Scent and after collecting 2 Scents, the Case is upgraded to Level 2. At this level, the Lumidouce Case fires an additional attack while also having its range increased.

Elemental Burst Is Important for More Range, Damage and Uptime

Emilie's Elemental Burst is key to improving the damage potential of the Lumidouce Case. After using it, the Case is upgraded to Level 3, further increasing its range and damage. Instead of collecting Scents, the Level 3 Case will cause Scented Dews (strips of green smoke) to descend on to nearby enemies, which deal Dendro DMG. This ability is her most important one due to the significant DPS increase from the Level 3 Case.

You cannot use Emilie's Elemental Skill while the Level 3 Case is on the field. Any exisiting Lumidouce Case is 'stowed away', which will be redeployed once the duration of her Burst expires. If there was no Case on the field beforehand, a Level 1 Case is generated instead. The Level 2 Lumidouce Case that is redeployed this way has its duration refreshed, so it's also a viable option to favor using her Elemental Burst always to refresh the Lumidouce Case over her Skill.

Best Paired With Pyro

Emilie's ideal teams include a Pyro character to help her maintain the Burning reaction, which she needs for her Lumidouce Case to collect Scents. Though she is usable in other non-Burning teams, (such as in Nilou Bloom), Emilie was designed to be paired with strong Pyro supports like Bennett or an Pyro DPSes like Xiangling or Lyney.

Majority of Her DPS Is Not Skill Dmg

The Lumidouce Case is summoned using Emilie's Skill, but the bulk of the damage comes from the Cleardew Cologne released by the Case, which is thanks to her passive, Lingering Fragrance. The Cleardew Cologne is a long stream of green smoke that deals AoE Dendro DMG, and is not considered Sklll DMG. This is why Emilie does not fully benefit from Golden Troupe.

Aim for 2,400 ATK If Possible

The damage Emilie deals to Burning opponents will be increased depending on Emilie's ATK. To maximize it, you need at least 2,400 ATK.

Should You Pull for Emilie's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Emilie's Constellations Will Generally Be Better

Signature VS Constellation
C2 > C1 or Lumidouce Elegy

C2 is a Good Stopping Point

In most cases, the improvement to her performance that Emilie's C1 provides is about the same if not better than having her Signature Weapon. Going from C0 to C1 to even C2 provides a significant increase in her personal damage and team damage, this increase comes from buffing her skill damage and A1 passive (C1) to giving her Dendro RES shred whenever she attacks (C2). If you would like to further invest in her potency as an off-field character, then going for her early Constellations is recommended. If the other weapon on the weapon banner is ideal or useable for you, however, then can you can still consider pulling for weapon, especially if you would like to use her burst often.

Recommendation if You Have Calamity Queller or Deathmatch
C2 > C1 > Lumidouce Elegy

Having any high Attack polearm like Calamity Queller or even a high refinement Deathmatch further increases the value of her constellations on your account.
