How Celeste beats Paradox
Mystic vs Marksman
Use spells to force them out of position; marksmen hate being moved.
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 Paradox
A tactician who swaps you into her team.
- 01Stay behind your frontline; Swap trades your position for hers.
- 02Walk out of Pulse Grenade before the radius grows.
- 03Shoot around Time Wall, not through it.
