Rank 3~5  stars
Title Junior Whitewing

Est appears in multiple games especially in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. She is one of the Pegasus Knights that served under Minerva. She is a member of the Pegasus sisters along with Palla and Catria. In Fire Emblem Heroes, she serves as a Blue/Lance.

Stats

Est, among all the pegasus knights, has the highest ATK. However, she still is slightly slower than Florina. While originally shoved aside for Cordelia and Hinoka, the new additional C-Type Passives that either debuff or buff her allies increased her rank. For a starter Pegasus Knight, she may seem a little hard to manage due to her “softness” against other enemies.

Strategy

Est deals heavy damage despite her slow speed. As another armorslayer flier, Est can easily chase armored units and defeat them with ease. While speed used to be an issue before, the latest speed boosts give Est a chance to deal extra damage especially against armored units. Her greatest advantage is her ability to utilize Brave Lance and Attack boons effectively. Unfortunately, this makes her a bit of a glass cannon as she cannot take in physical attacks. This makes her vulnerable against archers such as Takumi or Virion.

Est, due to her low HP, needs to either be slippery or accompanied by a pocket healer. One skill she can possibly use is Hit and Run to escape her enemies. However, Lunge is also possible especially if trying to corner bow-using heroes. Deathblow can increase her already potent damage against enemies. She’s a powerful Tomehunter, having enough Res to render their damage useless.

Counter

  • Takumi – Takumi as one of the strongest Archers can seal away Est’s speed and defeat her at any distance.
  • Virion – Virion‘s Astra can easily deplete Est’s already low HP.
  • Jeorge – Jeorge, as an archer, has increased power against Est.
  • Merric – Merric wields Excalibur which deals extra damage to flying units.
