Popsicle's Short Review
▲PROS: Emilie's introduction to the game allows players to look into the most-neglected and use it to her advantage. She uses the Burning reaction in order for her to gain more damage to her Lumidouce Case. With decent Dendro application, she can provide consistent Burning reaction againts opponents. Additionally, her niche kit allows for more team composition diversity, especially to Burning teams. With Pyro Resistance as part of her core kit, she is an amazing Burning enabler, allowing you to use some of the niche reactions, like Burning-Melt (Reverse Melt), and Burning-Vaporize
▼CONS: Emilie's niche kit limits the current enviroment for Burning team compositions to thrive in the current state of the game. As of Version 4.8, there is only one artifact set that allows to incentives Burning reaction, limiting her building options as of the moment. Additionally, since her kit is focused more on Burning reaction, she won't shine outside of it.

This increases her Skill damage as it will fire an extra Puff of Puredew against the opponents and further increases the damage multiplier.
➤ Make sure you will always trigger a Burn reaction to ensure the Lumidouce Case remains at Level 2.
