Celeste vs Infernus

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.

How to beat Infernus

A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.

• 01Short trades. Afterburn punishes long ones.
• 02Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted — walk out of it.
• 03Buy anti-heal and Spirit Resist; most of his damage is spirit.

1. 01Infernus wins the farm by ~6.8 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Infernus deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
3. 03Your own sustain (Light Eater) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
