I agree the biggest problem here is xiangling we are in desperate need of some kind of sidegrade to her, she just takes over any team archetype that wants any pyro application it feels awful
Weirdly i have hutao emilie touma yaoyao.
Must have checked like 3 times if I forgot I had ZZZ still running.
If the archon pyro doesn't displace xiangling or bennet nothing really will… sadge
I just gave her deepwood. Figured it would be helpful if I went for the dendro guy in 5.0 over the burning set. Also have no desire to farm that domain since I hate bond of life as a mechanic and will not pull those characters. Hated it since we saw it on the weapons.
Xiangling will never be a memory.
As a ganyu main, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
She needs a side grade not a replacement
i think it is a likely possibility that emilie will be BiS for about half of the 5.x on-fielders.
i like emilie's design, but i dislike her voice and kit. I have high hope for Natlan characters
Lol I was hoping Emilie would elavates cryo too but nahhh… I still like her tho
They really thought xiangling can be replaced
Where deepwood dehya?
It definitely feels like she would have made more sense as a pryo character doing the same thing. We need a proper off field pyro applicator that doesn't require a flipping powerplant to use their burst.
7:45 title it: “The Cryo Video” pure and simple.
I using Emilie in Burn Vape Furina (Xiangling is replaceable if Pyro Archon release). The damage of this team consistent Burning, Vaporize and Burgeon. I think Emilie primary weakness is application you can't use fast Element application, I think Pyro Archon might be mix between Main DPS and Support (ATK All allies buffs / Coordinate attack) and (on field DPS)
Xiangling’s ER hungry asz for Burn Wrio over Thoma who has less ER requirements, provides a shield AND lowers the rest of the team’s ER requirements is in fact a choice. A bad one at that. Wrio is better with Thoma/Dehya over Xiangling’s ER black hole. The fact that she has to be past 200% er WITH Bennet on the team is insane. Please let go of the idea that Xiangling is an automatic shoe in any team just because you need a pyro. She’s providing nothing more than pyro application (which Dehya and Thoma can sustain themselves with less caveats) and negligible dmg since you’re building so much ER into her, that’s without saying that she provides 0 defensive utility.
Hell Dehya can carry Mililleth for another 20% atk for Emilie and Wrio with a simple E and switch and not having to lose Bennet burst uptime trying to snapshot Xiangling’s ult (the 3rd dmg contributor in the team). Dehya is even a better choice for Neuvillete/Emilie comps as well over Xiangling thanks to the defensive utility she provides. And let’s not get started on the levels of bad Xiangling becomes when she’s the solo pyro in the team. Her ER requirements go almost as high as C0 Faruzan (who got endless slack for it). This is really a case where Thoma AND Dehya provide more to Burn teams in a vacuum than what Xiangling does.
I'm cryo main back in 1.0 until 1.6 i feel the cryo become weaker after dendro released. I hope Hoyoverse powercreep xiangling
Emilie's hidden value is gonna be in making the Unfinished Reverie set a pretty optimal set in burning based teams.
And even beyond that, with her burning dmg reduction passive, she would be able to enable Marechaussee Hunter on non-Fontainian dpses in non-Furina teams via minute burning self damage.
I found Dehya Deepwood + Emilie Unfinished Reverie a pretty feasible core for just pure burning teams. Can even give Dehya Makhaira and stack EM to give atk, or give Dehya WGS and buff atk when weapon passive is triggered. Could give her Forest Regalia so she can give EM to a melt or forward vape dps.
Rn, Emilie is replaceable but turbing to be the Xiangling of burning teams, not in utility within elemental application, but in dmg contribution. Xiangling doesnt have solid damage outside mono pyro with buffs from Bennett and Kazuha or outside of vape where EM is useless to her there.
As a new player from 4.7 who has yet to build their Xiangling, I am super excited to play her and the burnout everyone exudes is bumming me out. She's so cool!
4:35 不，他什么都不配得到。
She is beautiful
I hope the pyro archon is a consolidation of Bennett and Xiangling, without being as strong as both of them combined. Pyro application, a buff (perhaps to pyro related reactions), some battery and some defensive utility. Hopefully with much better ease of use.
rejoice it is our fourth character with bad eyesight, 3 cheers for yoko hikasa
as someone who desperately wanted wrio emilie to be a thing and feel good i was extremely sad when i tried the team out. the lack of dendro app and the lower dmg output compared to other teams was sooo frustrating to try to work around. on a side note absolutely love mono pyro with emilie 🙂
her not feeling good because all she does is provide damage and the damage doesn't feel worth might be an investment issue LMAO
