Genshin Impact Emilie kit and materials list
Everything you need to know about Emilie
Emilie’s kit in Genshin Impact lets her function in multiple roles depending on the team she's in. The 5-star Dendro character can take the stage as your main DPS or support someone else - ideally a Pyro someone else - with Dendro application.
None of that matters if she's not leveled up enough to meet the challenge, of course. Emilie's materials include several common Fontaine items, including one she shares with Furina, and Dendro gemstones from bosses in Sumeru, bosses who don't drop anything else Emilie needs.
Our Genshin Impact Emilie kit and materials guide lays out how Emilie works and what you need to get her to level 90. If you're after more help, check out our Emilie build guide for tips on her best setup.
Genshin Impact Emilie kit explained
Emilie’s kit is built for burning, with special buffs and even an extra attack that trigger only when that reaction occurs. However, if you don’t have Nahida and need someone to apply Dendro while off-field, you can make Emilie function well in that role instead. Sure, it’s not ideal, but her Lumidouce Case stays around for a while after she exits the field and applies Dendro, which you can use for other, non-burning reactions if you want. Burning is definitely best, but if Xiangling or your other Pyro sub-DPS is on another team, plain Dendro application Emilie is a solid enough choice.
Emilie normal attack: Shadow-Hunting Spear
This is the usual set of polearm attacks – four consecutive strikes for the basic, a decently powerful strike for the charged, and a moderately strong plunge attack.
Emilie elemental skill: Fragrance Extraction
Emilie places a Lumidouce Case on the field that deals Dendro damage in an area of effect with Puffs of Puredew. If burning enemies are nearby, the case extracts Scent from them every two seconds and levels up from level one to level two after collecting two Scent stacks. A powered-up case fires one additional Puredew, and its damage increases.
The case stays active for 22 seconds, and the skill’s cooldown is 14 seconds, which means you can keep it going continuously as long as Emilie remains conscious.
Emilie elemental burst: Aromatic Explication
Emilie creates a level three Lumidouce Case and removes any existing cases from the field. This case collects no Scent, but it does puff out Scented Dew every 0.3 seconds that affects nearby targets. Once the burst’s duration ends – after about three seconds – Emilie automatically creates a level one Lumidouce Case without using her skill.
Emilie passive talents
Emilie’s passives encourage you to play to her burning style and to keep her on-field as a main-DPS, at least for a little while.
- First passive – Headspace Capture: Grants the party an 85 percent burning damage reduction while a Lumidouce Case is active
- Second passive – Lingering Fragrance: When a level two Lumidouce Case collects two Scent stacks, it releases Cleardew Cologne – a cloud of Dendro that deals Dendro damage equal to 600 percent of Emilie’s attack to nearby enemies
- Third passive – Rectification: Emilie deals additional damage to burning enemies, an extra 15 percent damage for every 1,000 attack she has for a maximum of 36 percent
Genshin Impact Emilie talent priorities
Emilie's burst might deal the most damage, but her skill is what will stay active more often - well, comparatively speaking. With an energy cost of 50, Emilie can fire off her burst more frequently than most characters. Level her skill and burst together, but if you're running short on materials, prioritize her skill.

- Burst
- Normal attack
