Shiv vs Celeste

Brawler vs Mystic

Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.

Your game plan as Shiv

A dirty fighter who bleeds you, defers his own damage and finishes you with an execute.

How to beat Celeste

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

• 01Don’t break Dazzling Trick’s barrier at close range; it silences on break.
• 02Step out of Radiant Daggers’ beam before it forms.
• 03Spread to limit Shining Wonder’s bounces.

1. 01Celeste wins the farm by ~29.8 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.
