Overview

Esther Esther really benefits from having Jiwon Jiwon in the team. Infinite dashes significantly speed up her rotation and add a meaningful damage boost.


Enhanced Basic Attack (EBA) Timing

When performing Enhanced Basic Attacks, after executing EBA3, wait for the final slash before dashing to skip the recovery animation. The last slash deals the most damage — dashing too early will cause you to miss it.

Watch the video guide at the bottom to see this timing in practice.


A0 Rotation

Starting sequence (Sub-DPS → Jiwon):

  1. Sub-DPS start → switch to Jiwon Jiwon
  2. Jiwon Jiwon : BA1 → Skill → dash cancel → BA → swap to Esther Esther
    • (If Jiwon is A1+, skip the BAs and dash — just use Skill)
  3. Esther Esther : Skill → dash cancel → (EBA ×3 → dash cancel) ×4 → swap to Sub-DPS

Sub-DPS has approximately 5–6 seconds to act before the rotation is ready to repeat. With some CDR investment and a yellow counter proc, you can cycle back even earlier.


A1+ Rotation

At A1, Esther Esther gains the option to perform 2 sets of EBA ×3 before using Skill, adding extra damage before the main combo window.

Starting sequence (Sub-DPS → Jiwon):

  1. Sub-DPS start → switch to Jiwon Jiwon
  2. Jiwon Jiwon : BA1 → Skill → dash cancel → BA → swap to Esther Esther
    • (If Jiwon is A1+, skip the BAs and dash — just use Skill)
  3. Esther Esther : (EBA ×3 → dash cancel) ×2 → Skill → dash cancel → (EBA ×3 → dash cancel) ×4 → swap to Sub-DPS

Sub-DPS has approximately 3 seconds to act before the rotation repeats.

Note: The 2 extra EBA sets at the start do not benefit from Esther's signature weapon, so they deal less damage. These can be skipped if you prefer a faster burst window.


Ultimate Timing

When Esther Esther has her Ultimate ready, activate it after the smoke expires.
