Genshin Impact update 4.8 is half over, which means the new 5-star Dendro polearm character Emilie is just hours away from release. Emilie will kick off the banners for the second half of the patch, which will drop around 7pm ET today, August 6, or 4pm PT and 12am BT (August 7).
Emilie will debut alongside a rerun banner for Yelan, a powerful 5-star Hydro bow user capable of monstrous off-field damage. Early impressions of Emilie from players with access to the game's test server have also described her as a strong off-field DPS character, though her damage output is tied to the long-unpopular Burning reaction triggered with Dendro and Pyro.
