Stella Overview

Stella is a Core Infantry hero centered on a War Will resource that she builds through counter-attacks and then unleashes as burst damage once enough stacks accumulate. Her rage skill hits hard on its own and boosts her counter damage further, with an even bigger bonus while participating in a rally.

Her passives create a full loop: Battle Dance generates War Will stacks from counter-attacks (at a small cost to her own basic attack damage), Concert Tour strengthens her and her troop specifically during rallies, and Final Performance detonates 10+ stacks into a large hit against the enemy that scales further when her own troop is below half strength. Her exclusive weapon and awakening both reinforce this counter-attack and War Will cycle, making her an aggressive, self-sustaining damage dealer.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Strong self-contained damage loop built around War Will stacking and detonation.
Rage skill scales further when used inside a rally.
Exclusive weapon adds rage generation and an Infantry Attack buff on counter-attacks.
Awakening increases the odds of instantly refreshing War Will after a detonation, extending the burst cycle.
Rewards aggressive, sustained fighting, especially in prolonged rally combat.

Weaknesses

Very high investment requirement typical of Core heroes.
Damage output depends on chance-based procs (counter-attack triggers) rather than guaranteed effects.
Building War Will stacks costs a small amount of her own basic attack damage, trading some steady damage for burst potential.
Restricted to federations with more than 50 days of history.

Skills

Rage Skill

It's Showtime

Deals direct damage to the enemy target and increases Stella's own Counter Damage for 3 seconds. If used while in a rally, the Counter Damage increase is higher.

Rage: 1000Damage Factor: 4100Counter Damage (normal): +7%Counter Damage (in rally): +9%Duration: 3s

R3ED Note: Stella's core damage tool, doubling as a Counter Damage buff that scales further when she fights as part of a rally.

Passive Skill

Battle Dance

Increases Infantry Troop Attack. Counterattacks have a chance to grant Stella 1 stack of War Will, up to 2 per second. This effect can stack up to 10 times. Each War Will stack reduces the damage dealt by basic attacks.

Infantry ATK: +10%Trigger Chance: 30%Max Stacks: 10Basic Attack Damage Reduction (per stack): -1%

R3ED Note: Stella's War Will generator. The basic-attack damage penalty per stack is a deliberate trade-off in favor of her burst detonation on Skill 4.

Passive Skill

Concert Tour

While in a rally, increases Infantry Troop HP and troop Counter Damage.

Infantry HP (in rally): +8%Counter Damage (in rally): +7.5%

R3ED Note: A straightforward rally-specific stat boost that rewards keeping Stella in rally compositions.

Passive Skill

Final Performance

When Stella has 10 or more War Will stacks, all stacks are removed and dealt as direct damage to the enemy target. If Stella's own troop size is below 50%, the damage is increased.

Damage Factor: 3400Low Troop Bonus (below 50% troop size): +20%

R3ED Note: The payoff for Battle Dance's stacking, and the skill the priority guide recommends investing in early alongside Skill 1.

🔴 Core Hero Exclusive Weapon

Shining Star

Counterattacks have a 20% chance to grant 3 rage and increase Infantry Troop Attack by 7% for 3 seconds.

Core Hero Exclusive Weapon

🟧 R3ED Analysis: 🟧 R3ED Analysis: Shining Star feeds directly into Stella's rage economy, helping her reach her rage skill faster while also boosting her Infantry Attack during the same counter-attack window that fuels her War Will stacking. It reinforces her identity as a counter-attack-driven damage dealer rather than adding a separate mechanic.

Awakening

Encore!

Encore! is a new standalone skill unlocked through Stella's awakening. It increases her Counter Damage by 21%. Whenever her War Will stacks are cleared (through Final Performance), there is a 20% chance to instantly regain 2 War Will stacks, increasing to 40% while in a rally.

Hero Story

During a time of peace, Stella was a rising teenage idol. Despite her young age, she quickly made a name for herself with her singing talent and sweet looks. But then misfortune struck, and the night sky turned blood red. Rabid zombies stormed the stage and turned her bandmates, manager, and the audience into grotesque creatures. Fortunately, the collapsing stage shielded her from the zombie attack.

As she tried to escape the rubble, the young idol found herself facing a post-apocalyptic wasteland. For a while she lost her voice and couldn't sing amid the remnants of a crumbling world. But when her shelter brought an old record player to light from the ruins, the quiet sound of music carried her back to happier times. Tired and downcast survivors' eyes lit up, reminding her of the audience that had once looked up at her from below the stage.

In that moment, Stella began to sing again. She sang for the survivors, for the children, and for the weary and frightened refugees. Her voice brought a breath of fresh air and a glimmer of warmth to the wretched survivors. And then, suddenly, a mysterious organization reached out to her, offering support and the chance to become a defining figure as a singer in the post-apocalyptic world...
