How Kelvin beats Celeste

Your game plan as Kelvin

A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.

Lane
Frost Grenade trades and heals your partner at once. Arctic Beam slows and reduces fire rate.
Mid game
Ice Path is the best rotation tool in the game. Use it to carry your team to objectives.
Late game
Frozen Shelter blocks everything: dome your carry, or dome a fight to split it.

Laning

Win the lane: Kelvin into Celeste

  1. 01Celeste wins the farm by ~13.6 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
  2. 02Celeste deals most damage with abilities. Trade right after they’ve used their main spell, and consider early Spirit Shielding.
  3. 03Celeste has sustain (Light Eater). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
  4. 04Your own sustain (Frost Grenade, Frozen Shelter) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
