Emilie is a 5-star Dendro polearm user from Fontaine and a renowned perfumer who manipulates fragrance to inflict decay upon her enemies.

With her unique “Dry-Fired Thorns” mechanic, Emilie applies delayed Dendro damage that triggers reactions after a short fuse. She excels as an off-field Sub-DPS or reaction enabler in Hyperbloom, Bloom, and Burgeon teams.

Her damage scales with Elemental Mastery and her ability to create strong reaction chains makes her an ideal fit in many Dendro-focused team comps.

Her rotations are quick, making her ideal for quickswap and reaction-heavy teams. Focus on maintaining reaction uptime and Energy regeneration for repeated Skill cycling.
