How to play Esmeralda

Esmeralda is skilled at outlasting adversaries in duels. She has a great ability to engage and disengage, employing her abilities to retake adversaries after giving them shields.

Tactics

Early game (level 1-7): Esmeralda can win fights and secure kills in the early game but should be careful not to overextend and get caught out.

Mid game (level 8-12): Try to focus on building your core items. It is the perfect time to shine on the battlefield.

Late game (level 13+): Esmeralda can start with her team or divide push objectives, compelling foes to approach her and stop her so she can fight them and relieve pressure on other parts of the map where her squad can push unopposed.

Esmeralda Skills

Passive – Starmoon Casket:

  • Esmeralda controls Frostmoon and Stardust. Frostmoon does Magic Damage and grants the target a shield equivalent to 135% of the damage done by Stardust. Stardust deals Physical Damage. Each Basic Attack causes 100 (+75% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. Esmeralda’s damage ignores all shield defenses and progressively turns her shield into health points.

Frostmoon ShieldSkill 1:

  • Esmeralda receives a shield of 300–750 (+150% total magic power) and 40% movement speed, both of which swiftly degrade for four seconds. In the meantime, she gradually turns the shields of her close adversaries into a shield of her own that is limited to 50% of her maximum health.

Stardust DanceSkill 2:

  • Stardust and Frostmoon are waved by Esmeralda, dealing 240–440 (+60% Total Magic Power). Physical harm and +120% Total Magic Power and 300-550 Physical Injury Magical harm to opponents in the area. The enemy’s Movement Speed is decreased by 10% for 1.5 seconds each time she deals damage to a hero, and the cooldown of Frostmoon Shield is shortened by 1.5 seconds (damaging non-hero units shortens the cooldown by 0.5 seconds).

Falling StarmoonSkill 3:

  • [Hold:] In order to create her two weapons, Stardust and Frostmoon, Esmeralda must combine the power of Astrospace. The power will increase as the duration increases.
  • [Release:] Esmeralda blinks to the target position and spells Frostmoon, delivering 350-650 (+140% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and immobilizing nearby opponents for one second. Stardust deals 350-650 (+90% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage at the target spot.
