Before we get started Top
First of all i wanted to say this is my first guide ever. also forgive me for my english.
Im not high on the skill tier but really expirienced with the game as I have already more than 1,100 wins.
Im maining celeste and wanted to share my knoledge about her with all of you guys because shes super fun to play. well thats it ,lets get started
Introduction Top
Celeste is a gifted mage who commands the stars. we all know that. but shes a unique hero that is super cautious and a great damage dealer. her job is to harass the enemy from the furthest edges of battle. she almost sounds too good but thats now true. her squishyness can make her die even from abilities of a wp enemy. this one is important: she can set
boundries and make enemies back off with her A ability and this is very important. it doesnt matter when or where, with celeste face checking is not an option! her A ability can reveal enemies is bushes and thats a major pro to her. she has this advantage that other heroes just dont have. its very important to understand that
Celeste reaches her true potential in mid-game when she hits level 8 and max her A. When you hit lvel 8 you want to take advantage of the enemy as much as you can. especially if youre ageinst heroes that reach their potential late-game such as skaarf and joule. almost every scenario will require you to buy reflex block. this is a MUST item. this is an item of life and death. besides the stuns you will need to block certain slows like krulls heroic perk when he dashes with his A and making you slow, also to block silences such as caths and voxs and finally for ringos ult. mobility is SUPER important so get yourself some boots. you can use the trick that you sell the boots and buy back to refresh the cooldown and its only costs 150. you need to master your predict ability to truely hit success with Celeste. just poke the enemy and try to stay alive. you need to master also the Celeste dance. always move and never stay in place. back and forth and try to be unpredictable. as i said before try to establish boundries by placing some stars on a potencial walk space for enemies. it is a boundry for them cause if they will wanna cross they will have to pay by getting a supernove to their faces. try to use the combo of: A==> b==> A==> [C (NOT ALWAYS)]. this way youll reach your possible damage. dont be afraid to steal a kraken or a gold mine with your C ability.
Item order Top
you start with a BATTERY and X2 POTIONS. After that youre aiming to the SHATTERGLASS parallel with the VOID BATTERY and the BOOTS (REFLEX BLOCK strongly suggested). afterwards go for the BROKEN MYTH (in the proccess upgrade your boots). (until level 8 buy mines flares and potions after level 8 drop the flares and use only potions and mines). finish your 3rd offensive item EVE OF HARVEST or CLOCKWORK. if you tend to waste your energy despite the void battery and want to spam your abilities more often the i suggest you take the CLOCKWORK instead. and then youre avalible to your defensive items, (perhaps finishing your reflex block to something) If you want to be more cautious you can replace the shatterglass with the frostburn. it will take 50 CP but will slow enemies that chasing you or help you finish off fleeing enemies.
Desicions Top
So... once youre in the game, what are you expected to do? first of all you should accompany your team to the jungle to be there in case of an early teamfight or to invade. when playing with celeste as an ally or as yourself try to remember that shes super effective ageinst objectives and turrets. a team with celeste can take the gold mine in a couple of seconds without anyone knowing. when you see a situation when theres a chase of 3 v 2 after your team sometimes its best to push lane and hit the turret to force them to retreat or to destroy a turret. her solar storm can steal objectives too so dont forget about that. Celeste can clear minions really fast so she can push the lane and then rotate to jungle to help her teammates to invade. its best to leave a mine near the kraken/ gold mine to provide some vision to help you steal it. after youll get your broken myth you can destroy objectives and turrets even faster.
Abilities choice Top
I desided that the best thing (in most scenarios) is to upgrade the core colapse (B) than the solar storm (C) and Ill explain why. mostly you will play ageinst a dangerous jungler such as taka/koshka/ ect... almost every melee hero has something that can help him get close to enemies such as joules leap, glaives afterburn, takas x-retsu ect... not only the duration of the stun increases in overdrive, the cooldown increases too. that means youll dodge much more enemies with the B ability overdriven. of coures it comes on the expense of the damage but almost everytime, its worth it. if you feel youre doing great without the better cooldown and duration of the stun you can feel free to upgrade the solar storm instead.
How to dodge assassins Top
mostly when i face an assassin i find myself dying all the time and sometimes losing.there only two assassins in the game and youll need to have a differant approach to each one of them. first lets start with koshka
. koshka isnt that scary until level 6. after that she becomes your nightmare. youre not functioning for the entire 2.2 sec duration! a lot of things can happen to you in 2.2 seconds. thats why the only solution is a
reflex block. in teamfight if she hits you, most likely you will die and you lose the teamfight. but if she misses you immidietly focus on the carry until she will finish her ult and then stun her or the carry depends on the situation. when stacked up she can brust you down pretty quick.
itsbest to complete your reflex block to aegis to counter her. now were talking about taka
. taka is SO deadly that you simply find yourself giving up. but cheer up because theres a several things you can do to stop him before he stops you. first of all your heroic perk comes really handy ageinst him as he cant be unseen in his kaku for 1.5 sec. so that means when youre together with your team and he jumps at you, dont forget to land a basic attack to reveal him. second of all its to predict his movement, ill explain. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAX YOUR B ABILITY WHEN AGEINST TAKA! a good taka will destroy you if you wont max it. you need to remember that taka will jump on you almost all the time with x retsu. so if you can see him come to you he will most likely x retsu you so you must predict it and put the stun BEHIND YOU. that way youll stun him, run away and keep poking him. if you dont see him coming its more tricky .he brusts through you so you must predict his next move. most likely the kaiten flip. so right when he x retsu you , you must stun the direction he will kaiten to which is the opposite direction that he is (after the x retsu) if you miss the stun try your last resort: juke. taka it kiting by pressing you and tapping on an empty space and repeating so right when he basic attack you go to the other side and sprint with boots. if lucky youll get out of it. after youll able to stun taka throw a solar storm to his face. when fighting ageinst taka the most common mistake is to buy aromur. especially in early/mid game. this is a mistake because the x retsu is doing most of the damage when youre near the turret or your allies. taka can use his C then A and dissapear with B so make sure you have enough room for light shield in early/mid game, it can save your life. if fighting ageinst taka i encourage you to build atlas pouldron and aegis as your 2 defense items.
One more thing Top
Celeste is affected by a lot of things such as farm, enemies, and most importantly: allies. you need a good allies to back you up. try to test and see which team comb is the best for you so in that way your gameplay will improve. thats it pretty much, i hope it helped you, leave a comment if you like and i will reply. I will update it once in a while so.. Have fun :)
