Estella
Bearly game sub dps
support debuff shatter sub_dps
Estella's main value comes from applying Physical Susceptibility to enemies within Solidification, which she enables by her own Cryo Infliction. Unfortunately, Solidification and Shatter compositions currently lag behind raw Physical teams, limiting her overall impact.
This early‑game build uses the Aburrey’s Legacy gear set to give Estella a reliable DMG and ATK increase from her skill usage. Paired with OBJ Razorhorn, it establishes a solid foundation for her sub‑DPS duties in Shatter teams while being easy to obtain and upgrade.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Battle Skill: Onomatopoeia applies Cryo Infliction along a straight line.
- Her Combo Skill: Distortion triggers when an enemy suffers Solidification; it deals extra Physical DMG and applies Physical Susceptibility.
- Ultimate: Tremolo deals AoE Physical DMG and forcibly Lifts enemies already affected by Physical Susceptibility, creating control windows.
Scaling
- Damage scaling is concentrated in Distortion’s bonus hit against Solidified targets and in Tremolo; both benefit strongly from Physical DMG and Will boosts.
- Team‑dependent: she requires another operator to complete the cryo‑based Arts Reaction that triggers Solidification, so her output drops without a reliable Cryo enabler partner.
Team Role
Estella fits into Shatter teams as a secondary damage dealer and debuff enabler. She pairs with any Cryo applicator to set up Solidification, then uses her Combo Skill to stick Physical Susceptibility, which both increases the team’s Physical damage and lets her Ultimate lift priority targets. While she can function in early‑game compositions with budget gear, late‑game teams often prefer pure Physical DPS or more versatile supports, placing her in a situational slot.

Explanation
The Aburrey’s Legacy set was chosen for its unconditional skill DMG bonus and stacking ATK buff, which are easy to maintain and benefit all of Estella’s abilities.
OBJ Razorhorn is recommended even at low investment because its Infliction essence is too valuable for her role; the fact that it’s a 5‑star makes it more accessible than 6‑star alternatives.
The weapon alternatives remain the same as in the endgame build—Valiant for a competitive Physical boost, and Aggeloslayer as a budget option that still provides meaningful Will.
Notes
- Aburrey’s Legacy increases both skill DMG and ATK after using any major ability, giving a straightforward power boost early on.
- Even in early game, OBJ Razorhorn remains the best weapon because it’s a 5‑star that directly supports her debuff playstyle.
- Miner Gauntlets T1 fill the glove slot with early‑game stats while allowing the full Aburrey set bonus.
