Emilie was created with Burning Teams in mind. Her damage can truly shine when she’s used in Burning Teams. She can also be used in some Quicken or Bloom teams, but her damage falls off.

Most of Emilie’s damage comes from her lantern, which, if used correctly, can have a 100% uptime and constantly deal Dendro damage and re-apply the Burning reaction, making Emilie so great in Burning Teams.

She is primarily aimed at single-target fights, and her AOE potential is lacking, to say the least. As of right now, Emilie struggles to find a place in the meta due to the lack of great Burning Teams. Burning is one of the reactions that still does not have dedicated teams for it, and although Emilie is starting to bring more light to it, as of right now she simply lacks the ideal team to pop off.

Although not weak by any means, Emilie may truly show her potential down the line when there is a solid core for a good Burning Team.

Emilie Best Weapons

Emilie’s best-in-slot weapon is her signature weapon, Lumidouce Elegy. This weapon not only gives Emilie a decent chunk of ATK, which she needs to get the most out of her kit, but it also restores her energy and increases her damage after applying Burning or dealing Dendro DMG.

That being said, Emilie also has some good 4-star options that she can use, such as the Missive Windspear and The Catch for the F2P players.

Rank	Weapon	Weapon Details
1	Lumidouce Elegy	Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: 33.1% CRIT Rate Skill Effect: ATK increases by 15%. After the equipping character triggers Burning on an opponent or deals Dendro DMG to Burning opponents, the DMG dealt is increases 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.
2	Calamity Queller	Base ATK: 741 Bonus Stat: 16.5% ATK Skill 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.
3	Staff of the Scarlet Sands	Base ATK: 542 Bonus Stat: 44.1% CRIT Rate Skill 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.
4	Missive Windspear	Base ATK: 510 Bonus Stat: 41.3% ATK Skill Effect: Within 10s after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, ATK is increased by 12% and Elemental Mastery is increased by 48.
5	“The Catch”	Base ATK: 510 Bonus Stat: 45.9% Energy Recharge Skill Effect: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 16% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 6%.

Emilie Best Artifacts

Emilie’s best artifact is the Unfinished Reverie. This artifact set increases the equipping character’s damage by up to 50% when fighting against burning enemies, which is what Emilie is all about. Its two-piece also gives ATK%, which is the stat that Emilie needs the most to deal the most damage. All in all, this set is tailormade for Emilie.

Other good alternatives include the Deepwood Memories if you’re going to use Emilie outside of Burning Teams.

Rank	Artifact	Artifact Effect
1	Unfinished Reverie	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%. When a Burning opponent exists, it will increase by 10% instead until it reaches 50%. This effect still triggers if the equipping character is off-field.
2	Deepwood Memories	2-Piece: Dendro DMG Bonus +15% 4-Piece: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.

Emilie Best Teams

As we’ve already mentioned, Emilie excels when used with Burning Teams. Although Burning Teams are lacking a bit right now, there are still some decent characters that you can use to make Emilie work.

Additionally, thanks to the Dendro application from her Elemental Skill, Emilie can also fit into some Hyperbloom and Quicken teams. That being said, this will not bring out the most of her potential, but it is still a viable choice if you do not have the characters needed for Burning Teams.
