How Celeste beats Graves
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 Graves
A necromancer who gets stronger every time something dies near her.
- 01Don’t take long trades; Essence Theft steals your stats over time.
- 02Burst her before the Jar fills.
- 03Step around Grasping Hands rather than through it.
