How Celeste beats Venator
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 Venator
A holy gunner who executes the weak.
- 01Stay away from walls when Gutshot is up.
- 02Respect Ira Domini — retreat before you’re low.
- 03Walk around his traps.
