Estella provides Physical Susceptibility via Solidification but is held back by the current meta favoring physical teams over Shatter compositions. Her utility is niche and team-dependent.
endgame sub dps endgamesub_dpsshatter
This endgame build focuses on maximizing Estella's Combo Skill damage through the Type 50 Yinglung set and OBJ Razorhorn. The weapon's Infliction stat enhances her damage, while the gear set provides stacks of Yinglung's Edge for a significant Combo Skill multiplier. This allows her to contribute respectable burst damage while supporting the team with Physical Susceptibility.

Explanation
OBJ Razorhorn is chosen for its Infliction ability, which amplifies Estella's damage output and complements her role.
The Type 50 Yinglung 3+1 set (with off-set Swordmancer gloves) maximizes Combo Skill damage, her primary damage source.
Valiant and Aggeloslayer are budget alternatives that still provide useful stats.
Notes
- OBJ Razorhorn's Infliction synergizes with Estella's kit for consistent buffs.
- Type 50 Yinglung set boosts Combo Skill damage after any ally's Battle Skill.

The early game build uses Aburrey's Legacy to enhance Estella's skill damage and provide a temporary ATK boost after each skill use. While not as potent as the endgame set, it offers a solid foundation for clearing content and farming better gear. OBJ Razorhorn is still the weapon of choice for its consistent stat bonuses.

Explanation
OBJ Razorhorn remains the best weapon even in early game due to its strong synergy with Estella.
Aburrey's Legacy set increases Skill DMG and gives a stacking ATK buff, improving her overall damage output.
This build is easier to assemble as the gear is more accessible early on.
Notes
- Aburrey's Legacy is a craftable set that boosts Skill DMG and provides ATK after using skills.
- OBJ Razorhorn is a 5-star weapon, but still recommended for its synergy.
Build Insights
Estella functions as a sub-DPS and enabler in Shatter teams. She uses her Battle Skill to apply Cryo, allowing allies to trigger Solidification. Her Combo Skill then applies Physical Susceptibility, boosting physical damage from the team. Her Ultimate provides crowd control via Lift. She is most effective when paired with Cryo appliers and physical damage dealers.
Core Mechanics
- Applies Cryo Infliction with Onomatopoeia.
- Combo skill Distortion triggers on Solidification, dealing extra damage and applying Physical Susceptibility.
- Ultimate Tremolo applies Lift to enemies already affected by Physical Susceptibility.
Scaling
- Scales primarily off the additional hit of her Combo Skill and Ultimate multipliers.
- Benefits from team compositions that enable Solidification frequently.
Character Notes
Estella is a 4-star Cryo Guard who excels as a support in Shatter teams by applying Physical Susceptibility to Solidified enemies. Her damage comes from a powerful Combo Skill that hits harder on Solidified targets. However, she is heavily reliant on team synergy and current meta does not favor her primary reaction.
Playstyle
- Start fights with Onomatopoeia to apply Cryo Infliction.
- After an ally triggers Solidification, use Distortion to deal bonus damage and apply Physical Susceptibility.
- Follow up with Tremolo to Lift affected enemies for crowd control.
Strengths
- Can consistently apply Physical Susceptibility, boosting team physical damage.
- Combo Skill has a high multiplier against Solidified targets.
- Ultimate provides AoE Lift, useful for controlling groups.
Weaknesses
- Requires a team that can apply Solidification frequently.
- Current meta favors physical teams over Shatter, limiting her effectiveness.
- Low base stats and reliance on specific reactions make her situational.
Team Guide
best cryo_team
Estella's best team is a Shatter-Vulnerability composition that capitalizes on Cryo infliction and Solidification mechanics. Estella applies Cryo stacks, which Alesh consumes to trigger Solidification, enabling Estella's Combo Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility. This debuff synergizes with Endministrator's Crush damage, while Chen Qianyu adds extra Vulnerability stacks for massive burst damage. The rotation cycles through battle skills and combos to maximize debuff uptime and SP recovery.
Explanation
Estella's Cryo infliction is the enabler: she applies Cryo status on enemies, which Alesh can consume via his Battle Skill to forcibly apply Solidification. This triggers Estella's Combo Skill, which applies both a Lift (Vulnerability stack) and Physical Susceptibility, directly boosting Endministrator's damage.
Endministrator is the main damage dealer, benefiting from both Physical Susceptibility and multiple Vulnerability stacks. Their Combo Skill applies Originium Crystals, and their Ultimate consumes them for extra burst. Chen Qianyu provides additional Vulnerability stacks through her skills, further amplifying Crush damage.
Alesh serves as the SP battery, with his Combo Skill recovering SP for the team. This ensures the rotation can sustain the debuff cycle. The team's synergy relies on precise sequencing to maintain debuff uptime and maximize damage windows.
Strengths
- High burst damage potential due to stacking Vulnerability and Physical Susceptibility debuffs.
- Strong synergy between Cryo infliction and Solidification mechanics ensures consistent debuff application.
- Efficient SP recovery from Alesh allows frequent skill usage.
Weaknesses
- Rotation-dependent: requires precise order to avoid debuff overlap or downtime.
- Relies on multiple debuff types, making it less effective against enemies with debuff resistance.
- Alesh's role as SP battery may be less impactful if not properly built for energy generation.
Rotation
- 1 Start combat by applying Cryo Infliction using Estella's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate. Then use Alesh's Battle Skill to consume Cryo stacks and forcibly apply Solidification.
- 2 Once Solidification is active, use Estella's Combo Skill to apply a Vulnerability stack (via Lift) and Physical Susceptibility. If available, use Estella's Ultimate to apply another Vulnerability stack.
- 3 Use Endministrator's Combo Skill to apply Originium Crystals. If Endministrator's Ultimate is ready, use it to consume those crystals for extra burst damage. Otherwise, continue.
- 4 Trigger Chen Qianyu's Combo Skill to apply another Vulnerability stack, then Alesh's Combo Skill to recover SP.
- 5 Use Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill for another Vulnerability stack. With SP available, activate Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume all Vulnerability stacks with Crush.
- 6 Wait for SP to recover, then use Endministrator's Battle Skill again to consume Vulnerable stacks and trigger Crush damage.
Apply Cryo -> Solidify -> Estella debuffs -> Endmin burst -> Chen and Alesh combo -> Endmin crush. Repeat.
Team Insights
Estella excels as a sub-DPS/debuffer in teams that can capitalize on Cryo and Solidification. Her primary role is to apply Cryo infliction and then trigger Physical Susceptibility via her Combo Skill. This makes her a natural partner for characters like Alesh (who consumes Cryo to Solidify) and Endministrator (who deals Crush damage). Estella can also provide Vulnerability stacks through her Ultimate, further boosting team damage. She is best used in rotations that chain debuffs together, requiring careful skill sequencing to maximize damage windows.
Synergy Patterns
- Alesh: Consumes Cryo stacks to trigger Solidification, enabling Estella's Combo Skill. Also provides SP recovery for the team.
- Endministrator: Main damage dealer benefiting from Physical Susceptibility and Vulnerability stacks. Combo Skill and Ultimate consume debuffs for extra damage.
- Chen Qianyu: Adds additional Vulnerability stacks to amplify Crush damage. Her skills further increase enemy damage taken.
- Other Cryo characters or debuffers that can maintain Cryo uptime or provide additional Vulnerability can also work.
Tips
- Maintain Cryo infliction on enemies to enable Alesh's Solidification; without it, Estella's Combo Skill cannot trigger.
- Use Estella's Ultimate before Endministrator's burst to stack extra Vulnerability for maximum damage.
- Prioritize SP management; Alesh's Combo Skill is key to keeping the rotation flowing.
- If facing enemies resistant to Cryo or debuffs, consider alternative team compositions.
