Estella's Skill Priority
We want to prioritize Estella’s Ultimate first, which quickly gains a high damage multiplier, as well as additional stagger and cooldown from leveling it. Secondly we will be choosing between either Basic Attack or her Combo skill. Either is good as they both offer fantastic bonuses for investment, with the Basic Attack being worth more if you play her as your Controlled Operator. Lastly we end with her battle skill which gains the least compared to the other abilities.
How to Play Estella
Despite being a Cryo character, a majority of Estella’s kit revolves around Physical damage, Physical susceptibility, and lifting enemies. She is tailor-made to flourish on Shatter-based teams, along side characters like Alesh, Last Rite, and Snowshine who will make good use of her Cryo Inflictions.
Her big value lies in her Combo Skill, which applies Physical Susceptibility to targets that are solidifed, so try to not Shatter your enemy before Estella gets this skill off, so that your Shatter gets to benefit from the additional damage amplification.
