Estella is rated B tier because her primary utility is applying Physical Susceptibility to enemies through Solidification, which relies on Cryo Infliction. However, Solidification and Shatter team compositions are currently less effective than Physical-focused teams, limiting her overall impact in the current meta.
This endgame build maximizes Estella's Combo Skill and Ultimate damage by using the Type 50 Yinglung set for Combo Skill buffs and OBJ Razorhorn for synergy with Cryo and Solidification. Stat priorities focus on Will and Physical DMG. Swordmancer TAC Gauntlets are the recommended off-piece for extra Ultimate damage.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Estella applies Cryo Infliction via her Battle Skill Onomatopoeia, enabling Solidification and Physical Susceptibility through her Combo Skill Distortion.
- Her Combo Skill deals bonus damage and applies Physical Susceptibility if the target is already under Solidification.
- Her Ultimate Tremolo applies Lift to enemies with Physical Susceptibility, providing crowd control.
Scaling
- Estella's damage scales primarily with Will and Physical DMG stats, as her Combo Skill and Ultimate are her main damage sources.
- She is more effective in teams that can reliably apply Cryo and trigger Solidification, otherwise her utility drops significantly.
Team Role
Estella fills a support/sub-DPS role in Shatter compositions. She relies on teammates to apply Cryo or trigger Solidification, enabling her to apply Physical Susceptibility which amplifies physical damage for the team. Her Combo Skill and Ultimate provide additional damage and crowd control. She works best in teams that can sustain Cryo Infliction and trigger Solidification frequently.

Explanation
OBJ Razorhorn is chosen because its essence provides Will, Physical DMG, and bonus damage against Cryo or Solidified enemies, matching Estella's core mechanics.
Type 50 Yinglung set's 2-piece bonus increases ATK, and the 4-piece effect grants stacks of Yinglung's Edge when allies use Battle Skills, significantly boosting her Combo Skill damage.
Swordmancer TAC Gauntlets provide Ultimate DMG and useful substats, making it the best off-piece for this build.
Notes
- Type 50 Yinglung set boosts Combo Skill damage after allies use Battle Skill, stacking up to 3 times.
- Swordmancer TAC Gauntlets as an off-set piece provide Ultimate DMG Bonus.
- OBJ Razorhorn synergizes perfectly with Estella's Cryo/Solidification kit.
