How Celeste beats Baba

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Celeste

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

Lane
Light Eater marks enemies for extra damage and gives you spirit lifesteal. Dazzling Trick punishes anyone who bursts your barrier.
Mid game
Zone chokes with Radiant Daggers. The explosion is delayed, so place it where enemies will be, not where they are.
Late game
Shining Wonder bounces between grouped enemies and cuts dash distance — throw it into a clumped team before your dive.

How to beat Baba

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

  • 01Interrupt the Feed The Birds channel; the payoff only lands when it ends.
  • 02Track Brew’s cycle. Don’t fight inside the puddle when it’s about to silence.
  • 03Pressure Baba early, before Threadsap snowballs her Spirit.
