Emilie is a Dendro 5-star unit in Genshin Impact, and here is her best build including weapons, team comp, and artifacts.
Emilie is an interestingly unique unit in Genshin Impact. This is because her entire kit revolves around dealing increased damage to enemies affected by Burning. In short, she’ll function quite well with Burgeon teams which is a rarity in the game.
While you might be waiting for the best units to pull from Natlan in the upcoming patches, Emilie might be a good addition to your squad on account of her scaling. If you’re one of those players who is interested in Emilie, we have you covered.

It restores 12 Energy for the wearer and can be triggered even when the wearer is off-field. This weapon scales quite well with Emilie and synergizes with her kit.
Calamity Queller
This weapon is also quite good on Emilie as it increases the Elemental DMG of the wearer by 12%. Additionally, it increases the ATK of the wearer by 3.2% up to 6 stacks. If the character is off-field, the ATK bonus is doubled.
Best Emilie Artifacts
The best Artifact set for Emilie in Genshin Impact is Unfinished Reverie. The set bonus for the artifact set is as follows:
| Set piece | Set Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2-pc | ATK+18% |
| 4-pc | 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. |

Best team comp for Emilie
Emilie shines best in Burgeon team comps. Thus, the best units to pair her with are Arlecchino, Xiangling, and Bennett. In this team, Arlecchino is the main DPS as her scaling is exceptionally high and she is the best Pyro DPS in the game.
Emilie will offer the off-field Dendro application, while Xiangling will offer the off-field damage. Finally, Bennett will function as the healer in this team.
If you want you can also run a team with Hu Tao or Diluc as the main DPS. However, you will need a Pyro unit to trigger Emilie’s Rectification passive.
