Esmeralda is a unique tank-mage, with a good set of area of effect abilities and burst damage skills. Her first skill also lets her steal enemy shields. Max your second skill at the start and then your first skill and put points into Esmeralda’s ultimate whenever possible. Esmeralda has been in the meta for quite some time now. Upgrade skill 1 first if you want to prioritize surviving over dealing damage. Esmeralda builds both offensively and defensively with a mix of magic and tank items like Calamity Reaper, Feather of Heaven. Defensive items like Oracle and Queen’s Wings can also be built on her, making it hard for enemies to take her down. Esmeralda benefits most from the Mage emblem page, with upgrades in Agility and Observation giving her increased Movement Speed and Magic Penetration.
This hero excels at dueling enemies and winning sustained fights. Her nature as a tank can allow her to initiate with her team or split push objectives, forcing enemies to come and stop her and allowing her to duel them and draw pressure off other areas of the map where her team can push uncontested.
