How Celeste beats Warden

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 Warden

A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.

  • 01Move when Binding Word is cast; it only immobilises if you stay.
  • 02Interrupt Last Stand during its 2-second charge.
  • 03Kite him; Willpower is his only escape.

Laning

Win the lane: Celeste into Warden

  1. 01Farm is close (+1.1 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
  2. 02Warden wants close range. Keep troopers between you, save stamina for a dash out, and punish them when they over-commit.
  3. 03Warden has sustain (Last Stand). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
  4. 04Your own sustain (Light Eater) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
