Is Estella good?

Estella turns a Freeze into a big hit: her combo skill lands bonus damage on a frozen target and applies Physical Vulnerability that boosts both her own follow-up and any other physical attacker on the team. The problem is her whole kit leans on Solidification and Shatter, and those mechanics currently lag behind straight Physical teams in overall value, which is why she sits low on the tier list despite a genuinely strong niche.

Pairs well with: Mi Fu; Alesh; Chen Qianyu.

Strengths

  • Combo skill hits hard on a frozen enemy
  • Applies Physical Vulnerability that boosts her own and allies' damage

Weaknesses

  • Her Shatter/Solidification niche is weaker than current Physical-team options

Background

'Ugh... somehow... I can feel the weight of the world... mostly... on my knees...' A member of Endfield Task Force Z7, she's in charge of intelligence gathering and communications. Her stamina, though, is unusually poor. Bad luck seems to follow her everywhere, and she occasionally lets slip a cruelly biting remark, so people outside her own unit tend to keep their distance. Having seen far too many people like herself, people without choices, without change, without a future, she hopes above all for a quiet, peaceful life. Surviving dangerous, extreme situations for so long has dulled her perception of the outside world; her senses barely register stimulation anymore. Because of that, she's come to crave increasingly 'intense' challenges, the kind of jolt you get from aggressive heavy metal music. Those rare, hard-won moments of impact are what give her a small taste of 'change' and of feeling truly alive. Through her work at Endfield, Estella hopes to make the world even a little better, and let the people around her live free and easy. 'This is straight-up overwork, isn't it... haah... time for a well-deserved break, then...'
