Bang! Bang! BANG!
Haha, big bang!

Here's the overview of Celeste

Pros:
-One of the best nuking heroes (imo)
-Can quickly kill people with [A B A C] skill combo if well farmed
-Global ult, time to snipe and kill steal!
-High skill damage, high normal attack damage!
-Far range on Heliogenesis when overdrived, = fight people from far away, have no fear of taking damage

Cons:
-Squishy, especially vulnerable when ganked early game with no teammates around to help.
-Needs precise skill positioning to kill / stay alive
-Can't kill without any skills
-Countered by Slumbering Husk
-Nukes can kill her easily as well (Ringo ulti, Kestrel Ulti)

When precision is your forte, of course you would choose to start nuking people! Feels good to see people getting erased from the battlefield. [insert evil laughter]

=Skills=

-We choose to overdrive Heliogenesis ASAP, we want the big range for safety.
-If you need a lower cooldown, you can choose to sacrifice a point or two from Heliogenesis for Core Collapse
-I don't suggest overdriving this skill for the 1.5 second stun, we need damage from our Solar Storm as well as Heliogenesis. However, if you feel that you are comfortable with the smaller range of Heliogenesis, and you need more time in order to use skills accurately, feel free to overdrive the stun then.

=ITEMS=

Starting Items:
Two Crystal Bits for damage, you can buy an Energy Battery if you prefer to spam Heliogenesis,although the Potion should help with the man problems.

Early Game:

If you are doing well and can survive, then buy a Shatterglass for more damage.

If you can't seem to stay alive, then buy a Eve of Harvest for lifesteal and some sustainability.

Mid Game:

At this point, you should be around level 9. Time for even more damage, so buy a Broken Myth!

We buy Travel Boots in order to be able to chase/flee more easily.

Frostburn is needed for those pesky escape heroes like SAW Koshka Gwen.

Late Game:

You should have more than enough damage by now, so buy an Aegis to help stay alive, and a pair of Halcyon Chargers for mana regeneration.

=SIDE NOTES=

-Doing well with a captain that can tank well? Feel like you can skip defense? Then buy a Shatterglass for more damage to nuke enemies harder. . If you are feeling even more brave, then you can skip Eve of Harvest as well and go for a Clockwork. Shields will then mean nothing to you.

LET THE DESTRUCTION COMMENCE! THE CORE ISN'T THE ONLY THING COLLAPSING, THE ENEMIES' MORALE WILL COLLAPSE AS WELL! [more evil laughter]

Can't land Heliogenesis well? No fret, Celeste 's normal attacks use crystal power, we can further boost that by buying an Alternating Current!

=SKILLS=
In this build, we choose to invest our skill points in a balanced manner, as we need our stun more often to be able to land hits. If you wish to go hard-core attack, overdrive Core Collapse.

=ITEMS=

Starting Items:
Two Crystal Bits for more attack damage.
Halcyon Potion as a backup plan in case you are about to die.

Early Game:

Get that Alternating Current as fast as you can, to be able to deal more damage.

Mid Game:

Now, you need more Crystal power for damage. Go for Shatterglass. Broken Myth for skill damage in case enemies run out of your attacking range.

Late Game:

MOAR ATTACK SPEED! CHAAAARGE!

Either buy a Alternating Current for more damage + attack speed or a Tornado Trigger for more attack speed.

If you can't keep up to enemies, then skip these 2 items and buy a Frostburn instead

If u you feel brave and choose to skip defense, you can buy a Shatterglass or Frostburn

If you don't need defense, and just feel like attacking people, buy the Tornado Trigger instead.

As for Infusions,

Choose Weapon, if you only buy one Alternating Current

OR

You deal enough damage to heroes and just need way more attack speed to clear them faster.

Choose Crystal if

You just need damage for attacks, and have sufficient attack speed.

Choose Starting 1/2/3/4 if:

You want to deal immense damage with your skills

Choose Starting 5/6 if:

You want to use ulti more often

Choose Starting 7 if:

You hate shield buyers who can escape Koshka

To choose which starting build, think about:

1:Do you want damage?
2:Do you want to deal damage fast?
3:Do you want to secure kills more easily?

If your answer was 1 and/or 3,

Choose Starting 1/3/4/5

If you answer was 2,

Choose Starting 2

The only difference if you choose starting 2 is that you have a little lesser DPS (damage per second) as you have lesser Crystal Power.

Why wouldn't you have lesser DPS for build 4/5? Well, it's compensated by the tornado trigger.

1. Take your time when ambushing a hero. No point going Rambo and throwing everything down in thin air (miss all your skills)

2. When running away from an enemy and you have distance, you can always use Heliogenesis to deal some damage. (Big range when overdrived)

3. You can also turn and stun if you can do it fast enough to run.

4. Buy a Slumbering Husk to prevent getting blasted the f away by enemy nukers

Friends



These heroes with stuns/slows/pulls can help you to land your skills more easily. They also help you to escape.

Foes



She can easily zone you away from your teammates, and take you out fast. Either buy reflex block to block her stun followed by stunning her to run, or stick close to your teammates



Her slow from her ability A can give you a hard time chasing/fleeing

Her stun can also be troublesome.



Friend and Foe, her stun stops you from escaping, her bubble helps absorb damage from teammates if she is well positioned.



Friend and foe, if he hooks you and groups you close to his teammates, you are going to get targeted fast.



Can blast you if he buys CP. Buy Slumbering Husk to prevent this from happening.



He has more than enough attack speed late game to take you down before you can deal enough damage to him.



He has a machine gun as well. Don't try to use the second build on him nor try to attack him with only Heliogenesis and Core Collapse



Reboot! If you can't kill her fast enough she might end up killing you instead.
