Summary
A newGenshin Impactleak has revealed the in-game appearance of one of the upcoming five-star characters, Emilie. While HoYoverse has yet to officially confirm her arrival, numerous leaks have been hinting that Emilie will join the roster in Version 4.8.
Genshin Impact’s pool of playable characters keeps expanding, and the recent Special Program event confirmed the arrival of three new characters in update 4.7: Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos. Clorinde and Sethos are confirmed for the first banner cycle, where they will appear alongside the five-star Dendro user Alhaitham. The second part of the update is reserved for Sigewinne and the Dendro Archon Furina, who will get her first re-run.
Even though Emilie has been mentioned on multiple occasions by many characters so far, she has not made an official in-game appearance. Emilie is described as a famous perfume designer inGenshin Impact’s Hydro nation, and she’s said to be good friends with Chevreuse, another playable character. A newleak on theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddithas revealed three of Emilie’s potential designs. All three designs feature a similar green and brown palette, a maid-like outfit with floral accessories. The main differences are small details such as flower types, bag design, and the size and color of Emilie’s shoes and socks.
Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Emilie’s Design
When it comes to Emilie’s element, various rumors have revealed that she will be a newDendro user inGenshin Impact, which explains the color palette in the leaked image. Emilie will also have a five-star rarity and her weapon of choice will be a polearm, which will make her the first five-star character to have this weapon and element combination. The only other Dendro polearm user in the game is Liyue’s four-star Yaoyao, who arrived in Version 3.4.
RecentGenshin Impactleaksrevealed more information about Emilie’s signature weapon. Her polearm will have a stacking passive effect that grants bonus ATK, which gives more credibility to rumors claiming that she will be a powerful sub-DPS. Regarding her release date,Genshin Impact4.8 is expected to arrive around July 17. Considering that there are no additional character leaks indicates that Emilie will be the only new roster addition in this update.
Going by HoYoverse’s usual update schedule,Genshin Impactupdate 4.8will host the Summer event, which is an annual event that arrives before the release of a new major region. The recent livestream event featured the first Natlan teaser video, confirming that the Pyro nation is the next destination for the Traveler and Paimon.
