Emilie, the latest addition to the Genshin Impact roster in version 4.8, arriving as a versatile Dendro support character, perfectly timed with the conclusion of the Fontaine arc and the game's transition to the Natlan region. Her primary role involves applying Dendro to enemies through her Elemental Skill, which has a long duration and decent intervals making her a strong off-field support option.
All 34 5-Star Genshin Impact Characters Ranked by Power
The 5-star characters in Genshin Impact are likely the most notable highlight when playing this gacha game. However, it’s always important to remember that the current most powerful character may be overshadowed by a flashier one in the future.
Unique to Emilie is her focus on the Burning reaction particularly with her passive abilities. This makes her an excellent choice for Burning-centric team compositions. To fully harness her potential, players should consider this select her weapons, as they play a crucial role in optimizing her DPS output. Despite there aren't any Burning specific option for her except for her signature, Emilie's best weapon choices should still focus on increasing her desired stats, such as ATK or Crit Values, or elemental DMG. Despite being an off-field oriented character however, her best weapon options are unfortunately quite difficult to get with most being limited options, but here are the best polearm options in Genshin Impact that suit Emilie the best.
7 Favonius Lance
- Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 30.6% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: CRIT Hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
The Favonius Lance stands out as the best 4-star standard Gacha weapon for Emilie, making it the most accessible option for players if other weapons are unavailable. Although it performs worse than other weapons on the list, it is a practical choice due to its wide availability. Favonius Lance helps Emilie activate her Elemental Burst frequently, but it requires building a high Crit Rate, a stat she already benefits from. However, it doesn't offer the same level of performance as weapons that provide ATK or Crit values, and can complicate her build due to its focus on Energy Recharge. For a 4-star weapon, atleast Favonius Lance has a good ATK Base stat.
Instead of relying solely on an Energy Recharge-oriented weapon like the Favonius Lance, players might find it more advantageous to include a battery character in their team composition or prioritize Energy Recharge sub-stats on Emilie's artifacts.
6 Missive Windspear
- Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 41.3% ATK
- R5 Effect: Within 10s after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, ATK is increased by 24% and Elemental Mastery is increased by 96.
The best entirely F2P weapon for Emilie is Missive Windspear, which offers a significant boost to her ATK. This event-limited weapon, for those who obtained it, can provide utility similar to the 5-star Calamity Queller, primarily focusing on enhancing ATK. With the Missive Windspear, players can prioritize Crit Values in Emilie's artifact set, while also allowing room for other important stats like Energy Recharge to be featured in the main stats.
5 Deathmatch
- Primary Stats: 454 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 36.8% CRIT Rate
- R5 Effect: If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 32% and DEF is increased by 32%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 48%.
Deathmatch is the best overall 4-star weapon for Emilie, particularly if players have max refined it through the Battle Pass. Its high Crit Rate and ATK% buff make it versatile and effective across various content, regardless of whether there are more than two enemies present. The Crit Rate it provides simplifies Emilie's build, allowing players to focus more on optimizing other stats. However, for those with access to 5-star weapons that offer Crit Value stats or effects, these options generally provide greater benefits, functioning as superior stat sticks and enhancing Emilie's overall damage potential.
4 Staff of Homa
- Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 66.2% CRIT DMG
- Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder's Max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.
Staff of Homa is one of the top DPS-oriented polearms in Genshin Impact, making it a highly effective choice for Emilie among the 5-star options. This is largely due to its significant Crit DMG bonus, which boosts Emilie's damage output considerably. Although Emilie doesn't directly benefit from the HP increase provided by Staff of Homa, the weapon's ability to convert HP into ATK still offers a valuable ATK buff, enhancing her overall performance.
It's important to note that while this list highlights Staff of Homa and Staff of the Scarlet Sands as the best 5-star options for Emilie, alongside her signature weapon and Calamity Queller, other polearms with Crit Value stats can also be excellent choices. These particular weapons are considered the best fits due to their effects and synergy with Emilie's kit, offering the most optimal benefits for her role as a sub-DPS character.
3 Staff of the Scarlet Sands
- Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 44.1% CRIT Rate
- Effect: The equipping character gains 52% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect will be gained for 10s: The equipping character will gain 28% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. Max 3 stacks.
While Elemental Mastery isn’t typically a primary stat for Emilie, it can still be valuable if players plan to use her in teams outside of the Burning Elemental Reaction. Building some Elemental Mastery on Emilie can enhance other Dendro reactions and convert a portion of it into ATK, which can be quite beneficial. This is particularly effective given that Emilie's kit activates upon hitting with her Elemental Skill, allowing her to maintain high stats almost continuously. Additionally, the Staff of the Scarlet Sands offers a significant Crit Rate boost, which lets players prioritize Crit DMG in their build. This focus on Crit DMG, combined with the weapon's Elemental Mastery conversion, allows Emilie to have a more unique build.
2 Calamity Queller
- Primary Stats: 741 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 16.5% ATK
- Effect: Gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain Consummation for 20s after using an Elemental Skill, causing ATK to increase by 3.2% per second. This ATK increase has a maximum of 6 stacks. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation's ATK increase is doubled.
Calamity Queller is a relatively niche weapon, primarily used on Shenhe, but it also stands out as an excellent option for Emilie. Despite lacking any Crit Value, it remains one of Emilie's top choices due to its substantial ATK boost and high base ATK stat, along with an Elemental DMG Bonus. This weapon helps Emilie easily reach her ATK requirements, allowing her to fully benefit from her passives and optimize her performance in Burning-oriented teams. Its ability to enhance Emilie's overall damage output makes it a valuable alternative, particularly if players have gained desired crit values while building her.
1 Lumidouce Elegy
- Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 33.1% CRIT Rate
- Effect: ATK increased by 15%. When the equipping character triggers Burning on an opponent or deals Dendro DMG to Burning opponents, the DMG dealt is increased by 18%. This effect lasts for 8s, max 2 stacks. When 2 stacks are reached or when the duration is refreshed at 2 stacks, restore 12 Energy. Energy can be restored this way once every 12s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is off-field.
Lumidouce Elegy is unsurprisingly the best weapon option for Emilie, given that it is her signature weapon. It offers nearly all the stats Emilie needs, excluding Crit DMG, while including a significant amount of Crit Rate through its secondary stat, as well as ATK, DMG, and Energy Recharge through its effects. These stat boosts make this weapon an excellent choice for Emilie, while allowing her to benefit from all aspects of her kit, including activating her Elemental Burst more often.
However, for players aiming to enhance Emilie's utility and damage output even further, her first constellation provides more value compared to her signature weapon. Therefore, if players already have other strong weapon options from the list (especially 5-star limited weapons), it may be more useful to save Primogems and invest in her first constellation instead.
