Estella
Bendgame 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 endgame setup maximises Estella’s Combo Skill and Ultimate damage by pairing the Yinglung gear set with OBJ Razorhorn. The weapon’s Infliction essence and the set’s team‑triggered Combo Skill DMG buff align perfectly with her role as a burst sub‑DPS in Shatter teams. Alternative weapons like Valiant and Aggeloslayer offer flexibility when Razorhorn isn’t available, prioritizing Physical DMG and Will stats respectively.
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
OBJ Razorhorn is the top choice because its Infliction stat boosts Physical DMG and its essence synergises with Estella’s debuff‑focused kit.
Type 50 Yinglung set was selected because it directly scales Estella’s hardest‑hitting skill (Distortion) whenever any ally casts a Battle Skill, making it ideal for a sub‑DPS who bursts during Reaction windows.
Valiant works as a strong alternative thanks to its Combative essence and the Physical DMG boosts, assuming Estella can reliably keep Physical Susceptibility active. Aggeloslayer is a budget 4‑star option that still offers Will and a post‑skill ATK increase.
Notes
- Prioritise OBJ Razorhorn for its Infliction essence, which directly amplifies Estella’s Physical damage against debuffed targets.
- The Type 50 Yinglung set provides up to 60% bonus Combo Skill DMG after teammates use Battle Skills, matching her burst window perfectly.
- Swordmancer Gauntlets serve as an off‑piece to add Strength, Will, and Physical DMG without breaking the Yinglung 2‑piece bonus.
