Estela, who will be the featured 5-star character in Season 1, is a Solar Lightbearer with an offensive playstyle. Her weapons include a Pulse Rifle and a Machine Gun, which are similar to Kabr. Hence, any existing Pulse Rifle and Machine Gun that you may have lying around can be given to her once she comes out.

On the other hand, Umeko, a 4-star Void Lightbearer, will be more of a support character. Scout Rifles and Sniper Rifles will be her weapons of choice.

Based on CBT gameplays, Estela was revealed to be an ability-based character, with her kit relying on summons, corruption debuff, and clones, hinting at a solo-friendly playstyle for all activities.

Umeko was revealed to be a stealth-based character, capable of turning invisible in combat, similar to a Void Hunter from Bungie's Destiny series.

More details on these abilities will be revealed when the characters come out.
