New Genshin Impact character Emilie has been announced for update 4.8, on track to follow update 4.7 ahead of the release of the RPG’s next major region, Natlan, which was recently teased.
Where update 4.7 features two new five-star units, Clorinde and Sigewinne, alongside new four-star Sethos, Emilie will be the only new character in update 4.8. This, coupled with the fact that Sethos is on the way and we rarely see new four-stars back-to-back, suggests Emilie will be a five-star Dendro character.
This is the first we’ve seen of Emilie, who is described through her work: “Fresh, floral, fruity… Such are the scents of Emilie’s perfumes, meticulously crafted, exquisitely presented, dazzlingly displayed on the shelves of Fontaine’s Quartier Lyonnais,” apostfrom the official Genshin Impact Twitter account reads.
“If you’ve never before heard of a ‘forensic cleaner,’ you might at first struggle to imagine what such a profession entails. But if you’re lucky enough to become acquainted with Emilie, feel free to ask her a question or two. She is both an excellent listener and an exemplary respondent, so you’ll no doubt receive a satisfactory answer.”
The recent release of an artifact set that grants a damage bonus when fighting Burning-afflicted enemies sparked community speculation that Genshin Impact is due for a Burning-centered Dendro user, as the reaction has gone largely overlooked until now. Emilie’s fighting style remains to be seen, but the timing of her release certainly raises an eyebrow.
In a stunning commitment to playing RPGs your way, Genshin Impact player spends 3 years min-maxing the worst character: “I usually advise others not to build her”.
