Introduction
Estelle is the most straightforward character in the game. Her gameplan is one of the simplest there is: poke her opponents with a stick until they die. To that end, she has access to a plethora of long projectiles and fast pokes that lets her dictate the pace of the match. Hard Break comes to mind as one of the best pokes in the game. It's cheap (10 SP), pretty fast, has projectile properties which makes it always win during trades and has some super armor. Comet and Fire Bolt EX are also quite good for ranged encounters, especially the latter since they're homing projectiles. This excellent neutral makes her quite easy to approach as a beginner. However, this comes at the expense of her offense. Since most of her Skills are neutral-oriented, Estelle's combos are rather limited, severely impacting her damage output unless she uses lots of resources. This lack of offense-oriented Skills also makes her pressure and offense virtually non-existent. While she does have a naturally armored pseudo-unblockable projectile in the form of Plasma Wave, it is extremely easy to just dodge it on reaction thanks to its awfully slow startup. As a result, Estelle finds herself having to work much harder than her opponent in order to win.
