Introduction

Estelle is a well-rounded beginner-friendly character whose specialty is space control. Her array of large attacks and projectiles lets her easily control the space with hitboxes. However, she is held back by her lackluster SP economy, slightly too well-rounded stats and somewhat poor damage output.

Playstyle

As the resident shoto, Estelle is a versatile character with a tool to deal with most situations
