Estra Pros and Strength

Overwhelming Single-Target Damage

Estra's DMG can be amplified if she attacks a target with low NRG, if the target has more M.ATK than P.ATK, or whenever Estra has a magical shield. These conditions can all stack with one another, granting Estra a significant amount damage. Under the right conditions, Estra becomes the character with the highest, and most consistent single-target damage ceiling in the game.

High Maneuverability and Re-Attacks

Estra's movement potential is innately high due to her impressive Move and Jump stats. Estra's excellent maneuverability is further compounded with skills like [Shadow Blitz] and [No Restraints], which both have a respectable range of up to 3 tiles away.

Furthermore, defeating an enemy with [Shadow Blitz] grants Estra a [Re-attack], allowing her to use multiple actions in a single turn, and be active in all directions of the map.

Attack Increases with Stats

Estra can increase the potency of her Trait and Skills by increasing her HP, P.ATK, and M.DEF, so aim for increasing these stats with Gear and Engravings. Specifically, pay attention to Estra's HP stat, which increases her Magic Shield, therefore making it possible to balance both offense and defense.

Self Buffs with [Potion]

Estra is able to apply self-buff by using her [Potion] skill. The effects of both potions are extremely powerful when used together, but remember that each can only be used once per battle and lasts only 4 turns.

Conditional Damage

In order to reach Estra's full potential, it is necessary to maintain her Magical Shield, reduce enemy NRG, and increase Estra's relevant stats. Since attribute debuffs cannot be applied, be conscious of creating the perfect conditions for Estra by adjusting her gear, engravings, and party composition for each stage and enemy.
