Celeste stands out as a formidable Hunter in Supervive due to her exceptional adaptability and effectiveness during intense team battles. Her Ultimate ability can stun an entire enemy team if used strategically, and when paired with the Void ability to teleport into the heart of the action, it can drastically shift the outcome of a fight in your favor. With her Skate dash ability, Celeste boasts impressive mobility, and her Frozen Barricade creates effective zoning control in combat situations.
Celeste Build Basics
This section offers insights into Celeste’s optimal weapons, skill set, and upgrade priorities, along with general gameplay strategies.
Best Weapons for Celeste
Celeste’s weapon choices and upgrades largely depend on the situation at hand:
- Transition from Manablade to Mindblade.
- Choose Techblade and upgrade to Interweaver, Power User, or Amplifier, based on the dynamics of your match.
Interweaver is particularly beneficial for the Techblade, as it adds a straightforward damage boost with Celeste’s Ice Spear attack. If you can open some early Vaults and gather powerful abilities like Nukes, Power User can lead to some entertaining combinations. Meanwhile, Amplifier can help charge Celeste’s Frozen Barricade or Ice Spear, depending on your gameplay style.
Skill Overview
- Chill (Passive): Celeste’s passive skill applies a Chilled effect on foes. If enemies are knocked down while affected, they explode, damaging nearby enemies.
- Ice Darts (RMB Attack): Celeste’s primary attack shoots semi-guided ice darts. Hitting the same target eight times triggers a shatter/explosion effect, with the last three darts being larger, faster, and more damaging.
- Ice Spear (LMB): Fires an explosive Ice Spear that slows opponents and then causes an area-of-effect detonation.
- Skate (SHIFT Dash): Allows Celeste to glide over the ground, inflicting double damage with her basic attack during the dash, with an option to cut the dash short to regain some cooldown.
- Frozen Barricade (Q): Summons a sizable ice wall that travels in the direction fired, has 1,000 health, and can push back enemies.
- Chilling Finale (R Ultimate): Celeste becomes invulnerable while creating an ice AoE around her. After a brief delay, she detonates the area, stunning and damaging any caught enemies.
Skill Priority
When prioritizing skills, focus on:
- Skate (SHIFT Dash)
- Ice Spear (LMB)
- Frozen Barricade (Q)
- Chilling Finale (R Ultimate)
Starting with Skate is crucial for engaging in early team skirmishes or for quick escapes. This move amplifies Celeste’s damage output significantly, especially with her basic attacks. Subsequently, focus on maxing out Ice Spear for its consistent damage.
Gameplay Tips for Celeste
Celeste truly shines in well-coordinated team fights. Her Ultimate ability, Chilling Finale, works best when your team can follow up effectively. Team stuns from characters like Oath, Void, or Shrike can amplify the impact of her Ultimate on enemies.
When playing solo, mastering the combination of Skate, Basic Attack, and Ice Spear is essential for maximizing damage. Start with the dash to ramp up damage, landing hits with basic attacks, then stun or slow enemies with Ice Spear to follow up with powerful attacks.
It’s important for players to recognize when to engage. Diving into battles at the wrong moment can lead to being knocked out since Celeste lacks follow-up damage and escape options post-combo.
Utilizing Frozen Barricade effectively can control choke points, forcing enemies into unfavorable positions or shielding your team as you retreat.
With these strategies in mind, players can unlock Celeste’s full potential as an impactful Hunter in Supervive.
