How Baba beats Celeste

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Baba

A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.

Lane
Trade with Threadsap. It steals Spirit, so every hit swings the lane. Granny Long Legs gives you an escape and a knockback kick.
Mid game
Throw Baba’s Brew into contested chokes and watch the cycle: barrier for allies, silence or burn for enemies.
Late game
Feed The Birds wins teamfights that last — start the channel on a grouped team behind your frontline.

How to beat Celeste

A showman. Celeste’s damage only comes out if you attack her — or stand in the light.

Win the lane: Baba into Celeste

  1. 01Celeste wins the farm by ~27.8 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
  2. 02Celeste deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
  3. 03Celeste has sustain (Light Eater). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
