Comprehensive progression guide from level 1 to 80+

Updated: 2/22/2026 | BiS + F2P Options
4★ Support Cryo Polearm

Cryo Support operator who excels at applying Physical Susceptibility to enemies through the Solidification mechanic. Her Combo Skill triggers on Solidified enemies to debuff targets, while her Ultimate applies Lift to enemies already affected by Physical Susceptibility. Works well in both Cryo and Physical team compositions.

Build Focus

Will, Physical DMG, Combo Skill DMG, Ultimate Gain Efficiency, Cryo Infliction for Solidification setups

Skill Priority

Combo Skill > Ultimate > Battle Skill > Basic Attack

Playstyle

Apply Cryo Infliction with Battle Skill, wait for Solidification to trigger from teammate, use Combo Skill on Solidified enemies to apply Physical Susceptibility. Ultimate applies Lift to enemies with Physical Susceptibility. Focus on Combo Skill timing for maximum debuff application.

2.

Position Estella to hit multiple enemies with her Battle Skill for maximum Cryo Infliction spread

3.

Coordinate with teammates who can trigger Solidification (Alesh, Snowshine) for faster Combo Skill triggers

4.
