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. 01Venator out-farms Celeste by ~6.4 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
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.
