Estella

early game sub dps

support sub_dps

Estella's main strength lies in applying Physical Susceptibility through Solidification, but Solidification and Shatter teams are currently less effective than Physical teams, limiting her usefulness in the current meta.

This early game build focuses on boosting Estella's skill damage and energy regeneration. The Aburrey's Legacy set provides a straightforward damage increase, while OBJ Razorhorn's synergies with her Cryo application still apply. It's a cost-effective setup for players progressing through the main story.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Battle Skill Onomatopoeia applies Cryo Infliction, enabling Solidification via Arts Reactions.
Combo Skill Distortion deals bonus damage to Solidified enemies and applies Physical Susceptibility.
Ultimate Tremolo applies Lift to enemies with Physical Susceptibility.

Scaling

Her Combo Skill's additional hit and Ultimate are her main damage sources, scaling with ATK and Physical DMG.
She relies on team synergy to trigger Solidification for her full damage potential.

Team Role

Estella functions as a sub-DPS/support in Shatter-focused teams. She applies Cryo Infliction with her Battle Skill, then uses her Combo Skill on Solidified enemies to debuff them with Physical Susceptibility, boosting the team's Physical damage. Her Ultimate provides crowd control via Lift. She pairs well with characters who can apply or consume Solidification.

Explanation

OBJ Razorhorn remains the best weapon even early because its Infliction effect scales well and the weapon is easier to obtain as a 5-star.

Aburrey's Legacy set is a solid choice for early progression due to its simple buffs to Skill DMG and ATK.

Notes

Aburrey's Legacy set increases Skill DMG and provides ATK after using any skill.
Miner Gauntlets T1 adds ATK% and Strength for early game damage.
