Rating: B-Tier

Overall Tier B

Estella's primary utility lies in applying Physical Susceptibility to enemies with Solidification. Due to her innate Cryo Infliction via Battle Skill, she can enable Solidification via an Arts Reaction to access this buff.

However, Solidification and Shatter teams are currently overshadowed by Physical teams, hurting Estella's usefulness at the current state of the game.

Estella Builds

Estella's builds focus on her personal damage to capitalize on the high multiplier of the additional hit of her Combo Skill. As this additional hit and her Ultimate are her primary sources of DPS, Estella's builds will revolve around boosting this damage in her endgame and early game builds.

Who is Estella? (Lore)

Member of the Endfield Industries' Op Team Z7

Estella handles communication and gathering intel for Endfield Industries as part of Operation Team Z7. She is known to have a weak constitution, a sharp tongue, and a penchant for dark humor, with a reputation for being constantly haunted by misfortune.
