Dear readers, welcome another key member of Fontaine’s society to the playable roster – Genshin Impact’s Emilie, renowned perfumier of the Court of Fontaine, is now officially confirmed to be a playable character in an upcoming version. Here’s what we know about her build and who she is.
While you’re here, check out our Genshin Impact tier list, then grab the new Genshin Impact codes, and see what the next Genshin Impact banner is and whether you want to pull for the five-stars featuring on it.
Genshin Impact Emilie release date
Emilie will release in Genshin Impact’s version 4.8, in the second half of the banners, on August 6, 2024. She’s joined by Genshin Impact’s Yelan as a rerun banner.
What do we know about Emilie’s build?
Emilie is a five-star dendro user, who wields a polearm. Upon release, Emilie’s signature weapon – Lumidouce Energy – will release with her. Her kit focuses on allowing dendro reactions to happen, specifically burning, by deploying a Lumidouce Case onto the field.
This Case collects ‘scents’ from any opponents that are burning, and can increase from level one to two to increase damage. Using Emilie’s elemental burst creates a level three Case, and overtakes existing Cases. When the duration of this level three Lumidouce Case ends, a level one Case replaces it.
Given that we’re heading to Natlan, the nation of fire, Emilie’s kit should pay dividends once we start getting more pyro characters. We did also get a set of artifacts – Unfinished Reverie – in version 4.6 that pertained to the burning reaction, so perhaps this could be for her, too.
Who is Genshin Impact’s Emilie?
If you’ve spent much time wandering around Fontaine, you’ve probably heard of Emilie, the master perfumier creating scintillating smells for those who can afford it. Below Chioriya Boutique, there’s a store with a staff member outside who talks to you about Emilie.
We haven’t seen or met her in the game just yet, but Genshin Impact’s Chevreuse, Genshin Impact’s Charlotte, and Genshin Impact’s Lyney among other characters have voicelines about her. Judging by Charlotte’s line stating that a perfume she got also acts as an insect repellant and antiperspirant, it seems that Emilie really knows what she’s doing with alchemy.
As you travel through Teyvat, don’t forget to build key characters like Genshin Impact’s Xiangling, Genshin Impact’s Zhongli, Genshin Impact’s Yelan, and Genshin Impact’s Raiden Shogun.
