Yamato vs Celeste

Assassin vs Mystic

Mystics are often fragile without their spells. Dive them right after they cast.

Your game plan as Yamato

A blade who commits fully — and refreshes everything when she does.

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 ~25.6 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.

• 1
  Max first

  Max Power Slash before Flying Slash: Celeste heals through slow damage (Light Eater), so burst them instead.

• 1
  Early point

  Celeste wins the farm: an early point into Power Slash clears waves and keeps you in lane.

• Yamato averages 1.05 kills per death against Celeste.
• Yamato finishes 890 souls behind Celeste on average — play for teamfights and scaling rather than lane kills.
• Track Shining Wonder (170s cooldown). The window right after Celeste uses it is your best time to fight.
