Estella Strategy Guide
Basic Strategy
- Apply Physical Susceptibility
- Interrupt Charge Ups with Combo Skill
- Finish Combo with Ultimate
Apply Physical Susceptibility
| Battle Skill → Combo Skill |
The core strategy is to trigger her Combo Skill, which is activated when an enemy is afflicted with Solidification, to apply Physical Susceptibility. Since all of Estella’s attacks, except for her Battle Skill, deal Physical DMG, she can consistently capitalize on Physical Susceptibility to deal substantial damage.
Finish Combo with Ultimate
By applying Physical Susceptibility through a Battle Skill → Combo Skill sequence and then following up with her Ultimate, she can unleash massive damage while also inflicting Knock Down.
Estella Best Teams
Endministrator Cryo and Physical Team
| Attacker | DPS Support | Solidification Inflictor | HP Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
Endministrator | Estella | Alesh | Ardelia |
A team focused on stacking Cryo and Physical Susceptibility. Endministrator, Estella, and Alesh have incredible synergy, so run them as a core trio. To maximize your output, unleash the Endministrator's Combo and Battle Skills only after the enemies are hit with Solidification and Physical Susceptibility.
Basic Combo
| 1 | Apply Cryo Infliction with Estella's Battle Skill |
|---|---|
| 2 | Apply Solidification with Alesh's Battle Skill |
| 3 | Apply Shatter and Physical Susceptibility with Estella's Combo Skill |
| 4 | Recover SP with Alesh's Combo Skill |
| 5 | Apply Originium Crystals with the Endministrator's Combo Skill |
| 6 | Deal Massive DMG with the Endministrator's Battle Skill |
This combo aims to apply Cryo Infliction with Estella's Battle Skill → Solidification with Alesh's Battle Skill → Shatter + Physical Susceptibility with Estella's combo. Once the setup is complete, use the Endministrator's Combo and Battle Skills to capitalize on the Solidification and Physical debuffs.
Alternative Characters
| Character | Description |
|---|---|
Snowshine | - Swap with Ardelia - Can restore HP and reduce damage - Guaranteed Solidification application has great synergy |
Catcher | - Swap with Ardelia - Powerful damage reduction - Vulnerable application has great synergy with the Endministrator |
If you need to swap out Ardelia, Snowshine and Catcher are the best replacement options. Snowshine adds durability and a guaranteed Solidification source, while Catcher boosts the Endministrator's damage potential by applying two stages of Vulnerable.
Estella Best Weapons
OBJ Razorhorn Is Recommended

Estella Best Gear Build
- For Blue Gear, use "Mordvolt Resistant"
- For Purple Gear, use "Aburrey's Legacy"
- For Gold Gear, use "Tide Surge"
The recommended Gear for Estella is the "Mordvolt Resistant," "Aburrey's Legacy," and "Tide Surge" sets.
For Blue Gear, Use "Mordvolt Resistant"
| Armor | Mordvolt Resistant VestHP+10.5% |
|---|---|
| Gloves | Armored MSGR GlovesAll Damage Reduction+8.0% |

| ▼ Set Effect | |
| [Mordvolt Resistant] - Wearer's Will +50 - When the wearer's HP is below 50%, Treatment Effect +30%. | |
The Mordvolt Resistant set is recommended for Blue Gear. Because of Estella's Main ability, the higher her Will, the higher her ATK becomes, it increases her damage contribution as a sub-DPS character.

| Gloves | Aburrey GauntletsDMG to Staggered enemies UP+24.5% |

For Purple Gear, the Aburrey's Legacy set + Catastrophe Heavy Armor I is recommended. It significantly increases Estella's Main and Secondary stats, Will and Strength. Additionally, the increase in Skill DMG and damage against Staggered enemies is also powerful and fits well with Estella's kit.

After unlocking Gold Gear, the Tide Surge set + Bonekrusha Poncho is recommended. With the Set Effect and each piece's Cryo DMG increase, you can greatly improve Arts DMG.
