"How incredible. I can perceive emotions through water, which humans cannot, yet they are capable of using it to regulate their mood… And they accomplish this with a fragrance in liquid form? I see. I believe I have a better understanding of this concept now."

Emilie’s Background and Characteristics

Emilie is a renowned self-employed perfume designer from Fontaine and has gained popularity across the Hydro nation. In addition to her perfume-making skills, she is known as a ‘forensic cleanser,’ with the ability to restore spaces to their original state and erase any signs of decay. She often collaborates with Chevreuse, another Fontaine character, to solve complex cases.

Emilie’s Weapon and Gameplay

According to recent leaks, Emilie wields a polearm, making her the first five-star character with this weapon and element combination in Genshin Impact. Rumors suggest that her signature weapon will increase her ATK and provide significant damage buffs during the Burning elemental reaction. This reaction occurs when Dendro interacts with Pyro, indicating Emilie’s synergy with the game’s Pyro users.

Upcoming Updates and Expectations

Emilie’s arrival in Genshin Impact coincides with the release of the Pyro nation, Natlan, in late August. Update 4.8 is expected to host the annual Summer event, which comes with numerous exciting activities. At the moment, there are no credible leaks about her kit, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the 4.8 beta for more information about Emilie’s abilities.

Emilie vs. Nahida: The Dendro Debate

The Genshin Impact community hopes that Emilie will offer an appealing alternative to Nahida, the most powerful Dendro character in the game. With the Sumeru Archon’s strength and popularity, fans are curious to see if Emilie can rival her power and usher in new possibilities for Dendro users.
