How Infernus beats Celeste

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Infernus

A pyromaniac who wins by keeping everyone burning for just a bit too long.

Lane
Every bullet stacks Afterburn. Open trades with Napalm; it amplifies your damage on whoever it hits.
Mid game
Flame Dash through fights and leave fire behind you. Long, messy skirmishes are where you win.
Late game
Concussive Combustion can’t be interrupted once you start it. Flame Dash into the middle of their team and blow up.

How to beat Celeste

A showman. Celeste’s damage only comes out if you attack her — or stand in the light.
