Show Explanation/Analysis

Weapon: Eagle's Egg

Assist: Reposition

Special: Moonbow

Passive A: Close Counter

Passive B: Vantage

Passive C: Res Smoke / Savage Blow

Sacred Seal: Brazen Atk/Res

Est has a unique utility in negating debuffs which, when combined with her high Attack, allows her to work excellently as a Vantage Sweeper. She will not be affected by a Chill Attack debuff, despite her Superboon 42 Attack, which grants her unique ability as a ranged Vantage sweeper.
Note that just because she cannot be debuffed does not mean that Panic cannot affect her. Panic will neutralize Est's visible buffs, though she will negate the corresponding debuff, leaving her at her base stats.
This build relies on countersweeping the enemy team with oneshots during the Enemy Phase. A +Atk Spring Est has an effective Attack of 71 when in Vantage range, and more if her ally has Drive buffs.
Because she needs an ally within 2 spaces for her prf to work, it's generally recommended to set Est up with a support who can offer her large attack buffs via Drives, Goads, and their prf - such as Camilla.

Assist: Reposition

Special: Moonbow

Passive A: Swift Sparrow / Fury 4 / Sturdy Impact

Passive B: Desperation / Wings of Mercy / Chill Atk/Res

Passive C: Odd Atk Wave / Even Spd Wave

Sacred Seal: Swift Sparrow

Eagle's Egg is a very powerful tool which increases all of Est's stats by 5 and negates debuffs. This makes her a fantastic choice for a main offensive unit, though her middling Speed has to be mended somewhat.
Therefore, Swift Sparrow is the ideal A slot for her, as it grants her a larger buff to the stats she needs most while not forcing her to take the heavy 8 HP recoil damage of Fury 4.
Sturdy Impact is also a unique choice which will further increase Est's tankiness. With her prf and Sturdy Impact, Est reaches 31 Defense on initiation and negates opponent's follow-up attacks, making her very difficult to defeat in retaliation. Summoners should consider taking a HP bane instead if running this skill.
Desperation has synergy with Fury but is also a good choice if Est takes too much damage.
Her C slot is very flexible and is best used to give herself buffs, particularly to valuable stats such as Speed or Attack.

Strengths

Neutralizes Penalties

One of the biggest issues in modes like Aether Raids and Arena is the fact that debuff skills are so plentiful. Thanks to Est's prf, she can neutralize stat penalties on herself while increasing all of her own stats, just by having an ally closeby.

Stat Stacking

Spring Est has a decent statline for stat stacking, or increasing all of her stats to make her an excellent all-rounder. Her base kit exemplifies this by granting her +9 to all stats.

Weaknesses

Middling Speed Tier

Despite Est's fantastic prf, her default Speed is still 35. While this can be improved by utilizing her prf and getting a Speed boon, it still makes her vulnerable to fast units and puts her at risk if she can't oneshot an opponent.

Reliant on Prf's Restrictions

Spring Est is reliant on her prf's restrictions to perform well, namely that she has to have an ally within two spaces for it to do anything at all. This isn't a particularly difficult restriction but still makes her powerless in comps that utilize Smite or Dance to send a unit far away for an attack.

	Eagle's Egg	A	Fury 4
	Reposition	B	Desperation 3
	Moonbow	C	Odd Spd Wave 3
S	Swift Sparrow 2

Show Explanation/Analysis

Spring Est is a flying blue mage whose offensive spread sets her apart as one of the best units of her class. With her personal tome, the Eagle's Egg, and the rest of her base kit, Est has the potential to essentially erase anyone who she crosses, especially if she is able to initiate combat on them.

Weapon: Eagle's Egg
Eagle's Egg grants Est +5 to all of her stats and nullifies all penalties on her if she is within 2 spaces of an ally. This effect is incredibly potent, and it opens the possibility to further boost Est's stats by factoring in Tactics, Drives, and Guards, just to name a few options. Overall, Est's personal tome is hard to justify replacing.

Assist: Reposition Reposition is a standard skill for helping Est's allies move around. Est's movement is especially helpful in this case.

Special: Moonbow
Moonbow is a quickly charged Special that allows Est to reduce her foe's defenses and do even more damage. Short-charge skills are easy for Est to trigger, given that she will almost certainly make a follow-up attack.

A: Fury / Swift Sparrow / Death Blow
Est's default Fury 4 allows her to reach astronomical levels of Attack, but there is always the looming threat of recoil damage leaving her vulnerable. Alternatives to Fury, such as Swift Sparrow or Death Blow, are suitable for enabling Est to still reach similar levels of performance on the battlefield while leaving her less open to getting defeated.

B: Desperation / Chill Atk/Res
If opting to keep Fury in Est's A slot, Desperation pairs well to give her the best chance of surviving combat when she initiates while damaged. Otherwise, her default Chill Atk/Res skill allows her to debuff tough foes who she or her allies may have trouble dealing with.

C: Odd Spd Wave / Odd Atk Wave
Est has naturally high offensive stats, but her base Speed of 35 is not necessarily groundbreaking. This can be improved by using buffs and a Wave skill to boost her Speed further and make her even more of a threat. Odd Atk Wave serves a similar function.

Sacred Seal: Swift Sparrow / Death Blow / Even Atk Wave
Swift Sparrow and Death Blow are a perfect way to further improve upon Est's stats and help her take on tough foes. Even Atk Wave synergizes well with an Odd Wave skill in the C slot to give consistent bonuses to Est.
