supportsub_dps
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.

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.
early gamesub dpsbeginnerf2p
This early game build focuses on raising Estella's Will and Attack using the Mordvolt Resistant set and OBJ Razorhorn. The set's Will boost and individual piece Attack buffs provide a solid foundation for her damage. Miner Gauntlets T1 serve as an accessible off-piece for additional Attack.

Explanation

OBJ Razorhorn remains the best weapon even in early game due to its high Will and Physical DMG stats, and it's easier to obtain as a 5-star weapon.
Mordvolt Resistant set pieces are common and provide good Will and Attack substats, boosting Estella's damage without needing rare gear.
Miner Gauntlets T1 are a budget option that give a solid Attack bonus, helping her hit harder until better gloves are available.

Notes

  • Mordvolt Resistant set increases Will, improving Estella's damage output.
  • Miner Gauntlets T1 provide a flat Attack boost as a cheap off-piece.
  • This build is resource-efficient and works well in early game progression.

Build Insights

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.
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.

Character Notes

Estella is a 4-star Cryo Polearm Guard from Endfield Industries. She acts as a support in Shatter teams, applying Physical Susceptibility to enemies to amplify physical damage. Her strengths lie in debuffing and setting up combos, but she is heavily reliant on team synergy and is less effective outside of Solidification compositions.
Playstyle
  • Open with Battle Skill Onomatopoeia to apply Cryo Infliction.
  • Use Combo Skill Distortion on enemies already Solidified to apply Physical Susceptibility.
  • Finish with Ultimate Tremolo to Lift enemies affected by Physical Susceptibility.
  • Prioritize leveling Combo Skill first for increased Susceptibility multiplier.
Strengths
  • Can apply Physical Susceptibility, a rare debuff that boosts team physical damage.
  • Her Combo Skill deals bonus damage against Solidified enemies.
  • Ultimate provides crowd control (Lift) when enemies have Physical Susceptibility.
Weaknesses
  • Requires team support to set up Cryo and Solidification, limiting her flexibility.
  • Solidification and Shatter teams are currently weaker than Physical-focused teams.
  • Low personal damage compared to dedicated DPS characters.

Team Guide

bestcryo_teamburst_team
This team centers on Estella applying Cryo Infliction to trigger Alesh's Solidification, which then activates Estella's Combo Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility. The main DPS (either Endministrator or Mi Fu) capitalizes on this debuff, while Chen Qianyu adds Vulnerable stacks for massive Crush damage. The rotation ensures continuous debuff application and SP regeneration for sustained burst output.

Explanation

Estella's Cryo Infliction enables Alesh's Solidification, which is crucial for triggering her Combo Skill and debuffing enemies.
Endministrator (or Mi Fu) benefits greatly from the Physical Susceptibility and Vulnerable stacks, dealing heavy Crush damage.
Alesh generates SP to keep the team's skills cycling quickly, while Chen Qianyu stacks Vulnerable to amplify all damage taken.

Strengths

  • High burst damage potential through coordinated debuffs from Estella, Chen, and Alesh.
  • Strong synergy between Cryo and Physical elements, making it effective against many enemy types.

Weaknesses

  • Relies on precise rotation and skill timing; disruption can reduce effectiveness.
  • Limited flexibility if key characters like Alesh or Endmin are unavailable.

Rotation

  1. 1Start combat by applying Cryo Infliction using Estella's Battle Skill or Alesh's Ultimate.
  2. 2Use Alesh's Battle Skill to consume Cryo stacks and forcibly apply Solidification.
  3. 3Activate Estella's Combo Skill to apply Lift (Vulnerable stack) and Physical Susceptibility. Use Estella's Ultimate if available for an extra Vulnerable stack.
  4. 4Cast Endministrator's Combo Skill to apply Originium Crystals. Use Endmin's Ultimate to consume them for extra burst damage.
  5. 5Trigger Chen's Combo Skill for another Vulnerable stack, then Alesh's Combo Skill to recover SP.
  6. 6Cast Chen's Battle Skill for another Vulnerable stack, then Endministrator's Battle Skill to consume all stacks with Crush damage.
  7. 7Wait for SP regeneration, then repeat Endministrator's Battle Skill to trigger Crush again.
Apply Cryo -> Solidify -> Debuff with Estella -> Burst with Endministrator -> Stack Vulnerable with Chen -> Regain SP with Alesh -> Repeat Crush.

Team Insights

Estella functions as a sub-DPS and debuffer in teams that can apply and consume Cryo Infliction. Her primary role is to trigger Solidification via Alesh, which then unlocks her Combo Skill's Physical Susceptibility debuff. This makes her a natural fit for physical burst compositions where the main damage dealer (like Endministrator or Mi Fu) can capitalize on amplified Crush damage. Teams should focus on rapid debuff stacking and SP regeneration to maintain a high-damage rotation.
Synergy Patterns
  • Estella + Alesh: Alesh's Solidification from Estella's Cryo is the core enabler for her debuffs.
  • Estella + Endministrator: Physical Susceptibility from Estella directly boosts Endmin's Crush damage.
  • Chen Qianyu + Estella: Chen's Vulnerable stacks add to the debuff pool, increasing overall burst potential.
Tips
  • Prioritize using Estella's Battle Skill early to apply Cryo, but save her Combo Skill until Solidification is active.
  • If Endministrator is unavailable, Mi Fu can substitute as the main DPS with similar benefits from Physical Susceptibility.
  • Use Alesh's Ultimate to quickly apply Cryo if Estella's Battle Skill is on cooldown.
