DPS Who Initiates Damage with Solidification

Estella is a Cryo Polearm DPS who deals damage with Crush and Physical attacks, starting with Solidification. Because she can easily apply Physical Susceptibility and stack the Vulnerable state with Lift, she also serves as a support for Physical DPS characters.

Estella Strategy Guide

Inflict Physical Susceptibility with Battle Skill → Combo Skill

:p:The core strategy is to trigger Solidification by hitting an enemy with her Battle Skill (Cryo Infliction) while they are already affected by a different Arts Infliction (non-Cryo). Once the enemy is in the Solidification state, use a Combo Skill to inflict Physical Susceptibility. Since all of her attacks, except for her Battle Skill, deal Physical DMG, applying Physical Susceptibility is the most effective way to increase her damage output.

Tip!	Team her up with characters who can apply Arts Infliction other than Cryo to ensure you can always activate Solidification.

Follow Up with an Ultimate for Massive DMG

You can aim for Massive DMG by inflicting Physical Susceptibility with a Battle Skill → Combo Skill and following up with an Ultimate. Hitting an enemy affected by Physical Susceptibility with an Ultimate will inflict Lift, so following up from there with attacks from a Physical Attacker with Crush/Breach is also a powerful option.

Estella Best Teams

Endministrator Cryo and Physical Team

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

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

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's recommended weapon is OBJ Razorhorn. Estella, who can inflict Cryo with her Battle Skill and deal damage with her Combo Skill during Solidification, can make use of both weapon skills. Its Main stat also matches, making it an ideal weapon.

Other Recommended Weapons

Estella Best Gear Build

The recommended Gear for Estella is the "Mordvolt Resistant," "Aburrey's Legacy," and "Tide Surge" sets.

For Blue Gear, Use "Mordvolt Resistant"

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.

For Purple Gear, use "Aburrey's Legacy"

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.

For Gold Gear, Use Tide Surge

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.

Estella Recommended Potential Phases

P5 Is Recommended

Since Estella is a 4-Star character, you should aim for P5. At this stage, she recovers Ultimate charge whenever she inflicts Solidification. When used in the suggested formations or a Cryo team, this drastically increases her Ultimate uptime, further boosting her overall damage.
