Ah, Emilie – Fontaine's aromatic queen who turned Dendro Burning teams from 'meh' to META overnight! As someone who's been maining her since her 4.8 debut, I can confirm her weapon choices make ALL the difference between being a fragrant flower arranger and an unstoppable wildfire starter. Let's break down her top polearms with some spicy personal takes! 🌸🔥

Emilie holding Lumidouce Elegy

🔋 7. Favonius Lance - The ER Crutch

My Experience: This carried me through early artifact grind hell! That 30.6% ER lets you spam bursts like confetti at a Fontaine masquerade. But man, forcing CRIT Rate substats feels like doing 100% exploration in Dragonspine – possible but PAINFUL. I'd only recommend this if your artifact RNG blessed you with CRIT Rate circlet + substats.

  • Pro Tip: Pair with Raiden or Fischl to minimize ER needs

  • Best For: New players/Casual enjoyers

🌪️ 6. Missive Windspear - F2P King

The Shock: Who knew this event weapon from 3.1 would become Emilie's budget BFF? That R5 effect gives 24% ATK + 96 EM – perfect for Burning teams! I've hit 30k ticks consistently with this while maintaining 70/140 CRIT ratio. The catch? You need Zhongli's shield because staying alive during her skill animation is harder than pronouncing 'Natlan' correctly on first try.

  • Rotation Tip: Skill > Swap to Pyro applicator > Watch everything burn

💀 5. Deathmatch - BP Warrior's Choice

Love-Hate Relationship: That sweet 36.8% CRIT Rate lets me run CDMG circlet guilt-free. But the conditional ATK buff gives me artifact-swapping PTSD! Against single targets like Coppelia, it's basically 5-star level. Against mobs? Feels like using a toothpick to fight the Hydro Dragon Sovereign. 🐉

Personal Build:

Stat Value
CRIT Rate 89.7%
CRIT DMG 172.3%
ER 135.6%

Staff of Homa gameplay

🔥 4. Staff of Homa - Universal DPS Monster

Unexpected Synergy: Despite the HP passive being as useful as Paimon in combat, that 66.2% CDMG turns Emilie into a walking wildfire! My record? 48k Burning ticks in Nahida+Xiangling comp. Pro tip: Use her Burst right after skill to snapshot the ATK buff!

🌵 3. Staff of Scarlet Sands - EM Conversion Beast

The Plot Twist: This weapon made me rebuild my entire EM-focused Cyno... and now he's crying in the corner. The EM-to-ATK conversion works shockingly well with Burning's 1.5x EM scaling. Pair with 4pc Gilded Dreams for numbers so big, you'll think you're hacking.

Sample Rotation:

  1. Nahida E > Q

  2. Kazuha E

  3. Xiangling E > Q

  4. Emilie E > Watch world burn 🌍🔥

Calamity Queller showcase

❄️ 2. Calamity Queller - ATK Stacking God

The Shenhe Tax: Pulling this from weapon banner hurt worse than 50/50 losses, but BOY does it deliver! The off-field ATK stacking turns Emilie's perfume bottles into napalm grenades. My ATK peaks at 3.2k with Pyro resonance – that's enough to make even Diluc jealous!

💐 1. Lumidouce Elegy - Signature Perfection

The Bittersweet Truth: Yes it's BiS, but pulling this vs C1? I'd take constellation any day. The Energy refund feels smoother than Fontaine's water slides, but that 33.1% CRIT Rate leaves CDMG hunting torture. Still, watching those 60k Burning ticks? Chef's kiss 🤌

Final Hot Take: Emilie's weapon choices prove Hoyoverse wants us to either:

  • Whale for 5-stars

  • Become artifact farming zombies

  • Embrace the Favonius life
