Estella

early game sub dps

sub_dps support shatter_enabler physical_susceptibility

Estella primarily enables Shatter teams by applying Physical Susceptibility through Solidification. However, the current meta favors pure Physical compositions, limiting her effectiveness. Her damage relies on combo execution against frozen enemies, placing her in B-tier.

For early game, stick with OBJ Razorhorn to leverage its Infliction synergy. The Aburrey's Legacy set is the best accessible gear, offering straightforward damage boosts. This setup allows Estella to contribute decent damage as you progress toward endgame builds.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Applies Cryo Infliction via Battle Skill Onomatopoeia to set up Solidification
Combo Skill Distortion triggers on Solidified enemies, dealing extra damage and applying Physical Susceptibility
Ultimate Tremolo lifts enemies already affected by Physical Susceptibility

Scaling

Damage scales heavily with Combo Skill multipliers and Physical Susceptibility uptime
Team dependency is high; requires Cryo allies to consistently trigger Solidification
Early game output is modest; endgame gear like Type 50 Yinglung set significantly boosts performance

Team Role

Estella acts as a sub‑DPS and Shatter enabler. She needs Cryo partners to trigger Solidification, allowing her Combo Skill Distortion to apply Physical Susceptibility and deal heavy damage. Her Ultimate Tremolo can then lift vulnerable enemies. Ideal teams include strong Cryo appliers and Physical damage dealers who benefit from Susceptibility.

Explanation

OBJ Razorhorn is the best early weapon because it directly amplifies Estella's damage against debuffed enemies and is a 5‑star, making it easier to obtain.

Aburrey's Legacy gear provides a reliable 24% Skill DMG increase and stacking ATK buffs, benefiting her entire kit without complex conditions.

Miner Gauntlets T1 give a small ATK increase, filling the gloves slot while waiting for better pieces.

Aburrey's Legacy increases all Skill DMG and grants ATK buffs after using skills, useful early on
Miner Gauntlets T1 offer a simple ATK boost to help early damage
OBJ Razorhorn remains the optimal weapon throughout progression
