How Celeste beats Kelvin
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 Kelvin
A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.
- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
- 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
- 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.
