How Celeste beats The Doorman

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.

A hotel concierge who controls where everyone goes.

  • 01Track Doorways; they’re rotations for the enemy too.
  • 02Dodge Luggage Cart.
  • 03Have someone ready to peel when Hotel Guest is up.
