Ellen Joe Best Teams and Bangboo
Ellen F2P Team
Ellen's best Support unit is Soukaku since she can increase her ATK and Ice DMG stats. Anby will be your second teammate since she's the only free-to-play Stun unit.
Ellen Mono-Ice Team
Caesar is the best Stun unit since her shield can prevent Ellen from getting interrupted and can provide an ATK buff. This combined with Soukaku's own DMG buffs will significantly increase Ellen's overall damage output and ease of use.
