How Celeste beats Apollo
Mystic vs Assassin
Keep your CC for their dive. One stun on an assassin is usually a kill for your team.
Your game plan as Celeste
A showman. Celeste’s damage only comes out if you attack her — or stand in the light.
How to beat Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
- 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
- 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
- 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
Head-to-head
Win the lane: Celeste into Apollo
- 01Celeste out-farms Apollo by ~22.7 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
