Skills
Audio Noise
BasicAn attack with up to 4 sequences that deals Physical DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 17 Stagger.
Onomatopoeia
BattleA lance thrust that fires a stream of freezing sound waves that deal Cryo DMG and apply Cryo Infliction to all enemies along its straight path.
Distortion
ComboQuickly moves to the enemy's side to deal Physical DMG and forcibly Lift enemies in a small area. If the skill hits a target with Solidification, the skill deals additional DMG and applies Physical Susceptibility.
Tremolo
UltimateEstella expends all her strength to unleash a powerful slam of the spear shaft, dealing Physical DMG to all enemies in a circular area around self. To enemies with Physical Susceptibility, the skill forcibly applies Lift to them.
Kit Analysis
Strengths
- + Great Physical Support
- + Cryo Inflictions
- + Physical Status
- + Physical Susceptibility
Weaknesses
- − Solidification and Shatter teams are currently overshadowed by Physical teams
Team Compositions
F2P Friendly Physical Team
Akekuri can apply Heat Infliction and allows Estella to trigger Solidification
Alesh Upgrade Team
Alesh can consume Cryo Inflictions to force Solidification on enemies, which allows Estella to quickly use her Combo Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility
Insights
Summary
A Cryo-element Phy Support with versatile utility focused on status application and area control. Specializes in weakening enemies through Physical Susceptibility while delivering Cryo-infused damage.
Playstyle
Leverage Cryo Infliction and Physical Susceptibility to control enemy positioning and damage output. Requires team synergy to maximize her status effects.
Difficulty
MediumPros
- +Applies Physical Susceptibility to exploit enemy weaknesses in intermediate teams
- +Cryo Infliction creation supports both Cryo and Physical team compositions
- +Stagger application from basic attack aids in positioning control
- +Area-wide control via Tremolo Ultimate disrupts enemy clusters
- +Lift mechanics enable unexpected positioning for teammate follow-up
Cons
- −Reduced effectiveness against dedicated Physical-stomping teams
- −Cryo element may underperform compared to pure Cryo specialists
- −Skill cooldowns require precise timing coordination
- −Requires supportive teammates to trigger Solidification synergies
- −Physical DMG scaling lacks specialization for high-output teams
Tips
- Prioritize using Tremolo against teams with settings groups to maximize Susceptibility application
- Combine with units that apply Solidification (e.g., Alesh, Akekuri) to create chain reactions
- Use Audio Noise as a viable short-range damage tool when micromanaging enemies
- Focus on stacking Physical Susceptibility before triggering area attacks
- Avoid overcommitting to Cryo teams where Physical stigma undermines her niche
Common Mistakes
- !Forcing Cryo applications against teams without Solidification synergy
- !Underestimating the need for support roles to trigger her abilities
- !Using Distortion without confirming Solidification status on targets
- !Overprioritizing stats like Potential over Strength/Will
Synergy Notes
- Excels with units that apply/consume Cryo (e.g., Alesh for Solidification chains)
- Complements Physical tokens users like Chen Qianyu for combined status application
- Effective in teams with setting groups to maximize Susceptibility
