How Celeste beats Sinclair

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.

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.

  • 01Bait the copy: use your weakest ultimate first.
  • 02Kill the Assistant.
  • 03Rabbit Hex is area-targeted, so you can walk out of it.
