配装攻略
🔮 最佳遗器/声骸套装
Polar Metal (4pc) — 10% Ice DMG Bonus + up to 20% more when Freeze/Shatter is applied. Best-in-slot for sustained Ice DPS.
⚔ 最佳光锥/武器
Deep Sea Visitor (Signature) — best in slot, amplifies Ice DMG significantly. F2P: Starlight Engine or Steel Cushion — both provide strong ATK and CRIT bonuses.
📊 副属性优先级
👥 最佳阵容
Premium: Ellen + Von Lycaon + Soukaku (Lycaon Stuns for Daze windows; Soukaku Ice DMG buff + Faction bonus)
Budget: Ellen + Anby Demara + Nicole Demara (Anby Stuns, Nicole DEF shred + grouping)
零氪建议
Von Lycaon (standard banner) and Soukaku (A-rank permanent pool) form her best team without any limited pulls.
Deep Sea Visitor is very strong but not required — Starlight Engine covers most of her CRIT needs.
Her playstyle is approachable — the Expertise loop is forgiving even at lower skill levels.
常见问题
Does Ellen need Von Lycaon?
Lycaon is her best partner but not mandatory. Anby Demara (standard A-rank) provides Stun windows and Soukaku handles Ice buffing. The Lycaon team is premium; the Anby team is fully F2P.
Is Ellen still relevant in patch 2.x?
Yes. While newer Ice units exist, Ellen remains a top-tier Ice hypercarry and her teams are easily accessible. She is the best choice for players who want a strong, consistent Ice DPS.
What is Swordsmanship Expertise?
Expertise is a unique resource that stacks as Ellen attacks. When full, she enters an enhanced state that significantly boosts her Charged Attack damage. Managing Expertise generation and spending efficiently is the core of her rotation.
