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 Calico
A shadow-hunter who appears, bursts and vanishes before anyone can turn around.
- 01Move in pairs once she leaves lane; Calico hunts solo targets.
- 02Make her use Return to Shadows before you spend your big cooldown.
- 03Spread out against Gloom Bombs. Extra bomb hits deal reduced damage, but a full cluster still hurts.
