How to counter CelesteHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against Celeste, the items that do best when Celeste is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Celeste with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Celeste, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Celeste skews the list.

Their combo: Celeste shields with Dazzling Trick (whoever breaks it is silenced), blasts a cone with Light Eater, which increases her damage against you, then drops Radiant Daggers’ delayed explosion on your position.

Beware: Only break Dazzling Trick if you can finish her; at 690 health a focused burst does. Spread out: Shining Wonder bounces between nearby enemies.
