Genshin Impact: Emile Quick Character Guide

Emilie is an off-field DMG dealer who can provide continuous Dendro DMG.

Emilie's Elemental Skill creates a Lumidouce Case, which will attack enemies at intervals. While nearby enemies are Burning and certain conditions are met, the Lumidouce Case's DMG AoE, DMG dealt, and the number of attacks will increase, and also deal additional DMG.

Her Elemental Burst creates a Level 3 Lumidouce Case, which will continuously attack nearby enemies for a period of time, and a new Lumidouce Case will be created when it expires.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

Skills Overview

Normal Attack: Shadow-Hunting Spear (Custom)

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Fragrance Extraction

Creates a Lumidouce Case that deals AoE Dendro DMG.

Lumidouce Case
- Fires Puffs of Puredew at nearby opponents at intervals, dealing Dendro DMG.
- When nearby opponents are affected by Burning, they will give off Scents at intervals, and 1 Scent can be created this way every 2s. The Lumidouce Case collects nearby Scents. The Lumidouce - Case will level up after gathering 2 of them, after which it will fire 1 extra Puff of Puredew when firing, while the DMG dealt by and DMG AoE of the above attack will also be increased.
- 1 Lumidouce Case created by Emilie herself can exist at any one time. The Case starts at Level 1 and can go up to Level 2. If the Case does not collect any Scents for 8s while it is on the field, it will go back to Level 1.

Arkhe: Pneuma
At intervals, after Emilie creates a Lumidouce Case this way, a Spiritbreath Thorn will descend in front of her and pierce her opponent, dealing Pneuma-aligned Dendro DMG.

Lumidouce Case Duration: 22 seconds
Spiritbreath Thorn Interval: 10 seconds
Skill CD: 14 seconds

Elemental Burst: Aromatic Explication

Guiding the fragrances collected within the Case, Emilie converts them into pure Dendro energy, creating a Level 3 Lumidouce Case and stowing existing Cases away.

Level 3 Lumidouce Case Duration: 2.8 seconds
CD: 13.5 seconds
Energy Cost: 50

While it exists, the Level 3 Lumidouce Case will not gather nearby Scents, but it will continuously cause Scented Dew to descend, attacking opponents within range and dealing Dendro DMG. During this time, 1 drop of Scented Dew will descend every 0.3 seconds, and 1 opponent can become the target every 0.7 seconds.
When the duration ends, a Level 1 Lumidouce Case will be recreated. If a Lumidouce Case was stowed away when using Aromatic Explication, then the Case that was stowed away will be deployed instead, and its duration will be reset.
While Aromatic Explication is active, the Elemental Skill "Fragrance Extraction" will not create a Lumidouce Case.

Ascension 1: Lingering Fragrance

Each time it collects 2 Scents, the Level 2 Lumidouce Case will consume Scents and release Cleardew Cologne that deals AoE Dendro DMG equal to 600% of Emilie's ATK to opponents. This DMG is not considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Ascension 4: Rectification

Emilie deals increased DMG to Burning opponents based on her ATK, with every 1,000 ATK increasing DMG dealt by 15%. The maximum DMG bonus that can be gained this way is 36%.
Tips: You will need 2400 ATK to max out this passive.

Passive Talent: Headspace Capture

When the Lumidouce Case created by Emilie is on the field, all party members gain 85% Pyro RES against Burning DMG.

TLDR / Rotation

If you realize by now, Burning is the best reaction for Emilie. Without this reaction, her DPS will drastically drop. However, despite this restriction, Emilie can also fit to quite a lot of different teams thanks to her rapid continuous Dendro DMG.

Emilie does not use the Burning reaction as her primary source of damage, but rather she uses the reaction to help her continuously deal Dendro damage. Thus, Emilie would rather build offensive stats rather than focus on building around the Burning reaction.

The rotation is simple, drop Emilie's Skill before swapping to another character to deal reactions (preferably Burning). Once Emilie's Lumidouce Case upgraded to Level 2 and she has sufficient Energy, use her Burst before swapping to another character again to deal reactions.
Remember that her Skill's duration last for 22 seconds; it's a long duration and have a short cooldown so if you want to relocate the Lumidouce Case, you can either use her Skill again once the CD is over or use her Elemental Burst as once the Burst is over, a new Lumidouce Case Lvl 1 will be created at the Burst's location (or Level 2 Lumidouce Case if you have it before the Burst).

Talent Priorities

Skill > Burst

Despite how long her Skill and Burst explanation are, the priorities are quite simple. All you need to do is trigger Skill and Burst before switching to other characters for them to deal damage.
Normal Attack is not recommended because Emilie is an off-field DPS in the first place, thus, NA is usually never needed.

Constellations

Best Constellations: C1 & C2

C2: Lakelight Top Note ⭐
