How to play against Celeste

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.
