Genshin Impact Emilie Sub DPS Build Guide

Rarity	5-star
Element	Dendro
Weapon Type	Polearm
Strengths	• Can trigger off-field Dendro reactions. • Provides extra damage in Burning teams. • Provides Pyro RES to teammates for survival in Burning teams.
Weaknesses	• Elemental Skill has single-enemy targeting and struggles against mobs. • Output falls off in non-Burning teams.

Emilie is a perfumer from Fontaine who is one of the best Dendro Sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact. Using her Elemental Skill summons a Lumidouce Case to the field that can deal Dendro DMG to enemies even when the character is off-field. This allows her to trigger reactions without requiring much field time. Furthermore, it can perform additional attacks on enemies by collecting ‘Scents,’ which are generated when enemies take damage from the Burning reaction.

Emilie’s Elemental Burst is also quite powerful. It deals a lot of off-field damage to enemies and summons or resets the Lumidouce Case on the field. Her passive talents are also quite strong. They enable her to deal extra damage, which scales off her ATK, and increase the Pyro RES of teammates by 85% to reduce self-damage caused by the Burning reaction.

Emilie’s Talent Priority in Genshin Impact

As mentioned above, Emilie’s Elemental Skill is the most important aspect of her gameplay as it enables her to deal off-field damage. As such, you must prioritize it when upgrading her talents. After that, you can opt to level up her Elemental Burst. When it comes to Emilie’s Normal Attacks, it isn’t recommended to spend resources on them.

Best Artifacts for Emilie in Genshin Impact

Depending on how you are using Emilie, her recommended Artifact Set will vary. If you are using her in a Burning team comp, Unfinished Reverie turns out to be the best set for her. However, Deepwood Memories is a strong option otherwise.

Artifact Set	How to Get	Effects
Unfinished Reverie	Faded Theater Domain, Petrichor	• 2-Piece: ATK+18%. • 4-Piece: After leaving combat for 3s, DMG dealt increases by 50%. In combat, if no Burning opponents are nearby for more than 6s, this DMG Bonus will decrease by 10% per second until it reaches 0%.
