## Skills

### 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.

## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Atlas](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/atlas.md), [Tigreal](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/tigreal.md)

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**: [Akai](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/akai.md), [Lolita](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/lolita.md)

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**: [Karrie](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/karrie.md), [Lesley](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/lesley.md)

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.
