Top 10 Player Builds Season 18 - Esmeralda
This week we will discuss Esmeralda, the Astrologer. The gameplay focuses on his ability to manipulate the opponent’s shield, granting it survivability tall one.
Esmeralda’s two basic skills work well with her passive, Starmoon Casket. This skill is not difficult to understand, Esmeralda attacks twice every time she attacks an opponent, one attack deals physical damage, the other magical. In addition, Esmeralda will ignore the opponent’s Shield and slowly change her Shield to HP.
His first skill, Frostmoon Shield, gives him a large Shield and movement speed. But this skill also sucks the opponent’s Shield and gives it to Esmeralda herself. By using this skill together with Starmoon Casket, Esmeralda will get more Shield which gives her more survival time. Esmeralda’s second skill, Stardust Dance, attacks all enemies in the area twice, dealing physical and magical damage. This skill has a low cooldown, and reduces the cooldown of Frostmoon Shield every time this skill attacks any opponent.
The combination of Starmoon Casket, Frostmoon Shield, and Stardust Dance is at the core of Esmeralda’s gameplay. He will give himself a large Shield, suck the opponent’s Shield, and attack the opponent many times. Her ultimate skill, Falling Starmoon, completes her kit by giving Esmeralda a engage abilities. After doing charge short, Esmeralda jumps to the target location and immobilizes all enemies in the area. By capturing multiple opposing heroes with Falling Starmoon, Esmeralda can start creating her massive Shield and destroying her opponent all at once.

Seven people from Esmeralda’s TOP 10 Leaderboard were wearing Warrior Boots. The physical defense that these boots provide will make Esmeralda more resilient. Outside of boots, all players use Calamity Reaper and Holy Crystal. The Calamity Reaper passive skill has great synergy with the Esmeralda kit which often uses ordinary attacks to activate the Starmoon Casket. Meanwhile the Holy Crystal was chosen only to provide more Magic Power.
In addition to these two items, many players in the TOP 10 also chose Feather of Heaven and Enchanted Talisman. Feather of Heaven adds bonus damage to Esmeralda’s normal attacks, depending on the amount of Magic Power she has. Since he definitely also wanted to build magic damage, Feather of Heaven was the right choice. The Enchanted Talisman is one of these items, and gives Esmeralda HP and Cooldown Reduction. This item also partially restores Esmeralda’s mana every 10 seconds, ensuring that it’s always ready to use an ability.
For Spells, half the players on this list use Purify. This spell was used to ensure Esmeralda didn’t die right away from burst damage using his defensive abilities. The second option is Flicker to change Esmeralda’s location instantly because her only mobility skill is her ultimate skill, Falling Starmoon.
