  Starmoon Casket

  Buff · Shield

  Esmeralda manipulates Stardust and Frostmoon: Stardust deals Physical Damage while Frostmoon deals Magic Damage and gives the target a shield equal to 135% of Frostmoon's damage dealt. Each Basic Attack deals (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 100 (+75% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage.
  The damage dealt by Esmeralda ignores all shield effects and gradually converts her shield into HP.

  Frostmoon Shield

  Shield · Buff

  CD: 8 Mana Cost: 40

  Esmeralda gains a 500 (+150% Total Magic Power) shield and 40% Movement Speed that rapidly decays over 4s. Meanwhile, she gradually transforms the shields of nearby enemies into her own shield, capped at 50% of her <1005>.

  Stardust Dance

  AOE · Buff

  CD: 4.5 Mana Cost: 35

  Esmeralda waves Stardust and Frostmoon, dealing 240 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 300 (+120% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies. Each time she deals damage to a hero, the cooldown of Frostmoon Shield is reduced by 1.5s (damaging non-hero units grants a 0.5s reduction) and the enemy's Movement Speed is reduced by 20% for 1.5s.

  Falling Starmoon

  Burst · Mobility

  CD: 30 Mana Cost: 100

  Esmeralda coheres the power of Astrospace into her two weapons - Stardust and Frostmoon. The longer this skill is channeled, the longer the cast range.
  
  Use Again: Esmeralda casts Stardust at the target location, dealing 350 (+90% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage, and then blinks to the target location and casts Frostmoon, dealing 350 (+140% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and immobilizing enemies in the area for 1s.

Hero Relations

Synergizes With

Esmeralda works best with heroes that can pull enemies together like Atlas and Tigreal to allow her to hit more targets with her Ultimate.

Strong Against

Esmeralda works well against heroes with shields, like Akai and Lolita, because her skills not only ignore their shields, but she also converts them into her own.

Weak Against

Esmeralda is countered by highly mobile Marksmen, such as Karrie and Lesley, because she lacks the burst damage to finish them off quickly and can't keep up with their mobility.
