Summary

  • Emilie, a Fontaine character in Genshin Impact, will likely focus on Burning as a Dendro sub-DPS, complementing a new Artifact set.
  • Dendro teams in Genshin Impact could benefit from Emilie's self-sufficient abilities, allowing for more versatile team compositions.
  • Expect Emilie to be a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst in upcoming patches in Natlan, featuring a pastel color scheme and possibly a Medium or Tall Female model.

A reliable source in the Genshin Impact community has revealed details on what players can expect from Emilie, an upcoming Fontaine character whose release got moved to Natlan. While Emilie was long rumored to be on the banners for Version 4.8, Genshin Impact will likely have another Summer Event without a new 5-Star character making a debut. Version 4.7 is expected to have Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos as highlights, with all three characters being released in a single patch.

If they aren't making use of the HP fluctuation or Bond of Life mechanics, characters released during the Fontaine patch cycle tend to transform or expand upon a niche reaction or gameplay style. Navia in Genshin Impact famously revolutionized Crystallize in Version 4.3, whereas Xianyun enabled Plunge Attacks for a wide array of characters. Chevreuse made Overload teams viable, and even represents one of the best support options for Arlecchino.

Emilie Is Likely a Burning Character in Genshin Impact

According to FouL, one of the oldest and most reliable voices in the Genshin Impact Leaks community, Emilie will carry on this Fontaine tradition, even if she may end up releasing after Version 4.8. Namely, FouL claims that Emilie will be a Dendro sub-DPS with a focus on Burning. Though it was technically the first Dendro reaction introduced to Genshin Impact, Burning has since been left behind in favor of better reactions such as Hyperbloom and Burgeon. Given that Version 4.6 also added a new Artifact Set that revolves around Burning, it makes sense for Emilie's ability kit to complement it.

Though Dendro teams in Genshin Impact are very popular, a majority of them rely on having Nahida. Players are hoping that Emilie's Dendro application will be self-sufficient, and that she will free up the Dendro element to feature more versatile team compositions for endgame content like the Spiral Abyss. It should be noted that though the current order of characters is unknown, Emilie is expected to be released within the first few patches of Natlan. Her weapon type remains a topic of frequent speculation, with most players believing that she is either a Dendro Catalyst or a Dendro Sword user, as befits her backstory as a perfumer from Fontaine.

Given that upcoming Natlan characters in Genshin Impact are rumored to feature two Catalysts and a Claymore user, recent leaks are more favorable towards Emilie being a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst, joining the esteemed company of Nahida and Baizhu. Her concept art was leaked in 2023, along with the other cast members of Fontaine, and though the concept art featured different looks, players can expect to see a pastel color scheme for Emilie, who will either have a Medium Female or Tall Female model.
