How Celeste beats Rat King
Mystic vs Brawler
Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.
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 Rat King
A scrappy frontliner who makes your bullets work against you.
- 01Don’t shoot into Royal Pestments; wait out the armour.
- 02Fight outside the banner’s radius.
- 03Use spirit damage — his armour deflects bullets.
