• Estella Gameplay and Playstyle

Estella is a Cryo Guard who excels at supporting Physical teams by applying Physical Susceptibility through her Combo Skill Distortion. As a Guard, her kit naturally revolves around applying Vulnerable stacks and Physical Statuses. She sets this up by using her Battle Skill Onomatopoeia to apply Cryo Infliction, combining it with another Arts Infliction to trigger Solidification, then hitting Solidified enemies with Distortion to trigger Shatter and apply Physical Susceptibility. The longer Physical Susceptibility remains active, the more your Physical damage dealers benefit from it. Her Ultimate Tremolo further amplifies this by dealing Physical DMG to surrounding enemies and Lifting those already afflicted with Physical Susceptibility, adding even more Vulnerable stacks and staggering them in the process.

Estella Skill Priority

Estella Best Weapons and Essence Priority

Estella is a Polearm Guard who scales mainly with Will and Strength. Her kit revolves around triggering Solidification with her Battle Skill and applying Physical Susceptibility through her Combo Skill, so weapon choices should prioritize Will as the primary stat, Physical DMG Bonus, and effects that reward Cryo Infliction or Solidification.

For Estella's best weapon, OBJ Razorhorn is the clear best-in-slot choice. It provides Will, Physical DMG Boost, and its signature effect directly rewards her core loop, granting a DMG Dealt bonus against enemies with Cryo Infliction or Solidification, and an ATK buff after consuming Solidification — perfectly aligned with her Combo Skill rotation. Valiant is a strong alternative, triggering an additional Physical DMG hit after applying a Physical Status, which pairs well with her Combo Skill's Physical Susceptibility application. If neither is available, Aggeloslayer is another option that provides Will and an ATK buff when her Battle Skill hits.

Recommended Essence

Estella Best Gear Set

For Estella, in the early game, just use gear that provides Will and Physical DMG bonuses to increase her overall output. The Eternal Xiranite set is the best option for players focusing on her support role, offering Ultimate Gain Efficiency and solid Will stats to keep her rotation running smoothly and maintain consistent Physical Susceptibility uptime. Individual pieces are adjusted for Ultimate Gain Efficiency with the Bonekrusha Poncho T1 as the off-piece. When focusing on damage, the Type 50 Yinglung set is the ideal choice, increasing her Combo Skill DMG after allies use a Battle Skill to directly amplify Distortion's impact, with Swordmancer TAC Gauntlets as the off-piece.

Estella Best Teams

For Estella's best teams, Estella works best in teams that can consistently trigger Solidification and take advantage of her Physical Susceptibility application and Vulnerable stacks. She benefits most from teammates that can directly force Solidification on enemies, provide strong Physical damage output, and capitalize on the increased Physical damage from her Combo Skill. Estella's team building is more strict than most supports, as her Combo Skill is entirely dependent on Solidification being active to function.

Alesh or Snowshine are essentially mandatory picks for Physical teams as both can directly force Solidification on enemies, while the remaining flex slot can be filled by options like Endministrator, Ardelia, or Chen Qianyu for Physical burst damage, sustained team-wide damage amplification, or additional Vulnerable stacks. Estella also fits naturally into full Cryo teams alongside Yvonne, Xaihi, and Snowshine, where she serves as a Cryo Infliction applier whose Combo Skill triggers powerful Shatters after Yvonne's Battle Skill at very little opportunity cost.

Conclusion

Estella is a reliable Cryo Guard who may not top the damage charts, but brings consistent and meaningful utility to any Physical or Cryo team through Physical Susceptibility, Vulnerable stacks, and Solidification setups. Her straightforward kit and 4-Star accessibility make her one of the easiest supports to build and slot into a wide variety of lineups for both new and veteran players.
