Discover Esmeralda's skills

(Passive) Moonstar Coffin

Relying on the energy of the Coffin - Star Moon, Esmeralda manipulates the Stardust and the Ice Moon. Each of her basic attacks and abilities deals damage twice – Stardust deals Physical Damage, and Frost Moon deals magic damage and gives the target a shield equal to 150% of the damage dealt by Frost Moon. The damage dealt by Esmeralda ignores all shield effects and, meanwhile, transforms your shield into her own HP.



Frozen Moon Shield (Shield/Buff)

Cooldown: 8.5 / Mana Cost: 60

Emerald generates 350 (+100% Total Spell Power) shield points for herself and increases her movement speed by 40%. Meanwhile, she gradually transforms her nearby enemies' shields into her own. The speed increase decays in a short time.

Stardust Dance (AoE)

Cooldown: 5.5 / Mana Cost: 75

Emerald activates Stardust and Frostmoon and deals 210 (+60% Total Physical Attack) points of physical damage and 210 (+90% Total Magic Power) points of magic damage to nearby enemies. Dealing damage to enemies reduces the cooldown of Ice Moon Shield by 1 second.

Full Moon Fall (Burst/Blink)

Cooldown: 32.0 / Mana Cost: 150


Esmeralda channels the power of the Heavens into her two weapons. The longer the duration of the skill, the greater the power inflicted. Use this skill to cast Stardust to the designated location, dealing 350 (+90 Total Physical Attack) points of Physical Damage, then Emerald moves to the designated location to cast Ice Moon, dealing 350 (+140% Total Spell Power) points of Spell Damage and immobilizing enemies in an area for 1.2s.

Tips on how to play with Esmeralda

  • Always try to combo the second skill after the first one due to the cooldown reduction that happens on hit.
  • Give preference to items that offer Cooldown Reduction. When you have about 40% less cooldown, the 1>2 skill combo can keep your shield active at all times.
  • Whenever using the ult, activate the shield first to gain the 40% speed bonus. This will prevent you from being slow when spending the skill, allowing you to easily catch up to opponents or even guarantee your escape.
  • Use the monsters on the map to enter team fights with the shield already activated.
  • Esmeralda is extremely strong against shield-casting heroes, as she can steal them for herself.
