What attribute is Estella?

Estella is a 4-star Cryo operator of the Guard class, from Endfield Industries, wielding a Polearm, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Estella scale on?

Estella's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Estella?

JET is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Polearm with 500 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Aggeloslayer is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to max Estella's skills?

Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× False Aggela among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

BISJET

Ranked first at P0

JET is Estella's best in slot by a thin margin on its base damage and passive ATK%, despite Arts DMG% boosts that mismatch her mostly Physical damage, though it barely beats a max-Potential OBJ Razohorn, so there's no need to chase it.

500

Base ATK · lv 90

51 at lv 1

Ranked first at P0

#3Valiant

Ranked #3 at P0

Valiant trails JET because one of its passives is Agility, a stat Estella can't use, though its remaining passives and solid Weapon Effect still let it perform reasonably well if you already have it levelled and lack the two options above.

495

Base ATK · lv 90

#4Mountain Bearer

Ranked #4 at P0

Mountain Bearer's passives are an odd fit for Estella, its main stat wrong for her, but its Physical DMG% and DMG% against Vulnerable enemies still make it better than her free option.

#5Aggeloslayer

Ranked #5 at P5

Aggeloslayer is a last resort with the right passive stats but at much lower base values, leaving it well behind every other option.

CoreType 50 Yinglung

Estella's Will main stat is unusual among Physical damage dealers, which narrows her set options, making Type 50 Yinglung her best choice even though it offers no supportive capability.

3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's ATK +15%. When any operator in the team casts a battle skill, the wearer gains 1 stack of Yinglung's Edge that gives DMG +20% to the wearer's next combo skill. Yinglung's Edge can stack 3 time(s).

Solidify from Alesh gets Shattered by a Crush from Estella or Endministrator for Physical damage neither Cryo nor Physical paid for alone. It is a speedrunning niche rather than a generalist pick: most stages end before the squad needs its full rotation.

What attribute is Estella?: Estella is a 4-star Cryo operator of the Guard class, from Endfield Industries, wielding a Polearm, released in version 1.0.
What stat does Estella scale on?: Estella's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
What is the best weapon for Estella?: JET is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Polearm with 500 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Aggeloslayer is the best 4-star alternative.
Which gear set should Estella use?: Type 50 Yinglung. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's ATK +15%. When any operator in the team casts a battle skill, the wearer gains 1 stack of Yinglung's Edge that gives DMG +20% to the wearer's next combo skill. Yinglung's Edge can stack 3 time(s). The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.
