How Celeste beats Ivy

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 Ivy

The partner. Ivy is twice as strong when she’s attached to the right ally.

  • 01Kill the connected ally first; Ivy loses half her strength.
  • 02Don’t stand in Entangling Thorns.
  • 03Expect Air Drop onto your backline and keep a stun ready.
