Celeste Build and Counters in Deadlock

Celeste item build

Items grouped by when they are usually bought, with the share of games where the hero buys them and the win rate with the item.

Celeste ability order

Celeste laning phase

Lanes are 2 on 2. The number is the soul lead of the Celeste duo at 15 minutes against this opponent, below it the lead expected from the strength of both heroes. Only lanes clearly off the expected value are shown, across all ranks.

Celeste counters and synergies

The percentage is the win rate of Celeste against the enemy or together with the teammate. The lists show pairs where it is above or below what the strength of both heroes predicts, so a teammate of a weak hero can show less than 50%. Pairs with at least 100 matches are counted. The average win rate of Celeste is 48.4%, compare the percentages in the lists with it.

Celeste story

Even in a world of magic, some things are still rare and unusual. So what is a unicorn to do? Announce her presence to the world and potentially have poachers looking to saw off her horn? Or hide in plain sight at a Coney Island Side Show where most folk would assume her appearance was just part of an act? Over the years "The Dazzling Celeste" has grown into one of the more popular attractions on Coney, and while the applause from a cheering audience is appreciated; what keeps her waking up in the morning is the found family she's made at work. Keruba the Mermaid. Blockhead Lenny. Chickenwing. Ted. These were her people. So when she discovered that one of her own sold part of their soul in order to cover a gambling debt, Celeste knew it was time to step out of the shadows and do whatever it takes to get it back. Is revealing her power to The Patrons a risk? Yes. But that's tomorrow's problem... her family needs help today.
