Quick matchup notes and draft guidance for this hero.
Esmeralda works best with heroes that can pull enemies together like Atlas and Tigreal to allow her to hit more targets with her Ultimate.
Esmeralda works well against heroes with shields, like Akai and Lolita, because her skills not only ignore their shields, but she also converts them into her own.




In teamfights, enter the fight using Esmeralda's Ultimate, then use her 1st Skill to gain Movement Speed and steal the shields of nearby enemies, before finishing them off with her 2nd Skill and Basic Attacks.






In the laning phase, use Esmeralda's 1st Skill to approach the enemy and hit them with her 2nd Skill followed by Basic Attacks. Her 1st Skill should be up again soon thanks to the CD reduction from her 2nd Skill, so use her 1st Skill again for Movement Speed and shields, and continue using her 2nd Skill and Basic Attacks.
