Emilie is a strong Dendro sub-DPS and she will feature in the 2nd phase banners of Genshin Impact 4.8. Her kit is connected with the Burning reaction, dealing a ton of increased damage when enemies are burning nearby. However, there are many great Sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact, so players are questioning whether it is worth pulling for Emilie. If you are unsure of whether to Pull for Emilie or not, here is the complete guide on her strengths and weaknesses, alongside comparisons with other Sub-DPS units.
Genshin Impact Emilie Kit
Emilie’s kit is connected with theBurning elemental reactiontriggered by Pyro characters. Her elemental skill places a Dendro pod, which constantly deals single-target Dendro damage on nearby enemies, even without Emilie being active on the field. When the allies trigger the Burning reaction on enemies near the pods,the Dendro pods level up and deal more damage.
This way, Emilie’s entire kit is focused on dealing a high amount of off-field Dendro damage, while nearby enemies are burning.Her main damage source comes from her high Attack multiplierstriggered when enemies are burning nearby. Emilie completely scales on Attack, and she can only deal damage to enemies and cannot provide any buffs to the allies. One thing to note is that Emilie doesn’t increase the damage of the Burning reaction, but increases her own damage while Burning is triggered nearby.

Emilie is a good sub-DPS character for Pyro teams in Genshin Impact. Now, let’s see how she compares to other Sub-DPS units in the game.
Emilie doesn’t have a lot of versatile use, even though she is an off-field Dendro applier. Her kit is geared towards the Burning reaction, which forces players to play her in Mono-Pyro teams to get the best out of her. She can also do decent in Aggravate, Vape, and Melt teams, but those teams need much closer attention to her Skill use, taking away the ease of playing her.
If you have strong pyro characters likeLyneyorArlecchino, then pulling Emilie might be worth it. She deals a ton of damage when enemies are burning nearby, and also provides a lot of on-field time to main DPS units like Lyney and Arlecchino.
Emilie’s signature weapon is very good for her kit and enables her touse her Elemental Burst every two rotationswithout any extra energy. Her signature weapon increases her damage output and ease of usage by a lot and is more important than her first constellation. However, you technically don’t need it to get the best out of her kit as there are some other good weapon options for Emilie in the game.
But if you want to make Emilie one of the strongest Sub-DPS units in the game, thenher signature weapon almost becomes a necessity. If you are planning to get Emilie and build her completely,especially for theupcoming Natlan characters, then I would suggest you go for her signature weapon as well if you have the spare Primogems.
Now that you have taken a look at everything Emilie provides, let’s boil everything down to her strengths and weaknesses.

Overall,I won’t recommend pulling for Emiliein Genshin Impact 4.8, unless you have some strong Mono-Pyro teams. Her kit is decent and she is a good off-field damage dealer, but there is nothing special in her kit for a 5-star character.
