Yo, fellow Travelers! It's your girl/guy back with some spicy Genshin Impact meta insights. Let's talk Emilie – Fontaine's floral alchemist who might just be the secret sauce to making Burning reactions actually slay. I've been testing comps non-stop since her release, and holy Archons, this Dendro queen can cook! But here's the tea ☕: Burning's always been that awkward middle child among reactions. Why? Low damage, clunky mechanics... it's like trying to use a slingshot against a Ruin Guard. Yet with Emilie's kit screaming 'BURN EVERYTHING,' I knew we had to crack this code. So grab your Primogems and let's dive into three fire (literally) team comps that'll make your Abyss runs smoother than Zhongli's voice!
🔥 Team 1: The Burning Overload (Emilie + Baizhu + Kazuha + Dehya)
This squad is pure Burning synergy on steroids! I call it the 'Circle of Pyro' because enemies just melt together like butter in a frying pan. Here's why it slaps:
-
Emilie: Your Dendro DPS/buffer – her off-field application is nutty! 🌿
-
Baizhu: Healing + shielding + Dendro resonance? Chef's kiss! His buffs make Burning tick like a nuke.
-
Kazuha: CC king! Groups mobs so Burning’s AOE chains explode everything. Plus, he swirls Pyro for extra oomph.
-
Dehya: Tanky Pyro enabler – her skill gives damage mitigation AND consistent fire application.
Why this works? Burning damage ramps up when enemies are clustered (physics, baby!). Kazuha’s vortex + Dehya’s pyro field = Emilie’s Dendro ticking for 20k+/sec in my tests. Pro tip: Swap Kazuha for Sucrose if you need EM buffs! Her EM share turns Burning into a dragon.
💥 Team 2: Burgeon Blitz (Emilie + Arlecchino + Yelan + Bennett)
Wanna see big numbers? This comp's like fireworks on crack! Arlecchino goes BRRRR while Emilie sets up Burgeon/Vape chains. Roles breakdown:
| Character | Role | Why They're OP Here |
|---|---|---|
| Emilie | Sub-DPS/Dendro enabler | Constant Blooms for Burgeon |
| Arlecchino | Hypercarry Pyro DPS | Deletes health bars with Vape |
| Yelan | Hydro applier + DMG buffer | Her A4 passive buffs Arle’s damage |
| Bennett | Healer/ATK buffer | Noblesse + Pyro resonance = win |
Synergy secret? Emilie and Yelan create endless Dendro cores → Arlecchino triggers Burgeon → Bennett fuels Pyro for Vaporize. It’s a damage carnival! 🎪 And guess what? You can sub Hu Tao for Arle if you prefer plunge attacks (pair with Xianyun!).
❄️🔥 Team 3: Burnmelt Monster (Emilie + Ganyu + Xiangling + Bennett)
Old-school Melt comps just got a Dendro glow-up! This icy-hot madness lets Ganyu shotgun everything with 200k charged shots. Here's the rotation magic:
-
Emilie drops Dendro 🌸
-
Xiangling’s Pyronado + Bennett burst apply Pyro → triggers Burning
-
Ganyu fires → MELTS for 3x damage!
Why Emilie > Nahida here? Nahida’s great, but Emilie’s Burning focus means longer uptime + her passive buffs reaction damage. Plus, ATK scaling rules here (Ganyu/Xiangling/Emilie all love it!), making Pyro resonance + Bennett mandatory. Try Wriothesley instead of Ganyu for melee chaos!
🤔 People Also Ask...
- Q: Can Emilie save Burning reactions?
A: HECK YES! Her kit specifically buffs Burning damage and duration. In 2025, she’s meta for reaction-focused Abyss floors.
- Q: Is EM or ATK better for Emilie?
A: Both! ATK scales her skill, but EM boosts Burning. I run 2pc ATK% + 2pc EM artifacts.
- Q: Who’s Emilie’s best support?
A: Baizhu for survivability OR Kazuha for AOE carnage. Both give Dendro resonance!
- Q: F2P alternatives?
A: Swap Baizhu for Yaoyao, Dehya for Thoma, and Kazuha for Sucrose. Still slaps!
