Esmeralda's abilities from official data

  1. P

    Starmoon Casket

    PassiveBuffShield

    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.

  2. 1

    Frostmoon Shield

    Skill 1ShieldBuff

    CD: 8.5 Mana Cost: 40

    Esmeralda gains 400 (+150% Total Magic Power) Shield and 40% Movement Speed which rapidly decays over its duration for 4s. Meanwhile, she gradually transforms the shields of her nearby enemies into her own shield, capped at 50% of her Max HP.

  3. 2

    Stardust Dance

    Skill 2AOEBuff

    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 10% for 1.5s.

  4. 3

    Falling Starmoon

    Skill 3BurstMobility

    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.
