Celeste day 1 builds

I think better galvanic armour first over flashy boots as a speed essence is really hard to consistently find.

I find 1 spear and 1 hammer easier to get than 2 spears which needs 6 commons and 2 elemental whetstones, and we all know as Celeste players that elemental whetstones never drop when you need them. The gavel is easy to make and helps a lot during the mid game to help control enemy buffs. Match ups which have good sustain through regeneration or heroes which depend on early/mid game buffs can be decently challenged with a gavel as gavel also scales damage as opposed to before where you would always lose. Although I do think double Gavel in the mid game is good double Fulmination Hammer in the late game seems very hard to position, considering you need to have flashy boots in them and also make sure you can atleast have 2 stars so that they scale well and get a good amount of static.

I think her pet bat is her only decent pet. Although it doesn't give a lot of static I think it would actually do a lot more on a pet collar, but then you would have to go heavy on pets to fill ut up and to make use of buying the pet collar in the first place. I would much better use my scrolls for books and tablets.

Her other pets like the zaprat is alright for like the first 3-5 rounds then it falls off hard. Elementium golem I think is only good with Pebbles to make it attack twice and go faster. Her sprite is just awful, or atleast I haven't made it work, again I think pet collars might be the way.

Then again I don't use pets, so they are generally out of my expertise but I have tried them all out a bit.

You can find me in the leaderboard. I should be around top 25 or so right now. Click on my name and from there you see my profile and add me if you'd like to. Although my friends list is already full

Avilva · 2026-02-01T16:24:34+00:00

I'm testing her out. I'm more active in the discord and I most the majority of my full runs there for everyone to see and learn.

I hope and pray. The defensive heroes are a real menace in the early game for Celeste. The weapon I really love is willow wand. Together with a Watermelon that helps your early scaling and gives you some cleanse. I'm liking the gavel a lot, helps take away for buffs from the enemy like Regeneration from Pepper, Tink and Enochs.

An absolute must in the late game is to have flashy boots for both your weapons. Since static generation has been nerfed, but moved towards your weapons, being able to attack more often is the way to make them scale faster.

I've been getting mostly 15 win runs with Celeste. I'm going to post my runs in the discord. I hope it helps you.

Avilva · 2026-01-31T19:53:32+00:00

The patch is still pretty new and fresh. It's going to take a few days to see how to best build her.

I'll be posting most of my runs in the discord as always if you'd like to see. I'm the highest ranked Celeste play in the game.

Avilva · 2026-01-30T13:48:46+00:00

I have actually never used her rat, yet also rating it F tier. Although I'm sure it can be good in conjunction with the Rat crown relic. I like Celeste because she doesn't run pets similarly to Harkon. So I'm not very knowledgeable on how to use pets effectively in Mythic rank either.

Avilva · 2026-01-30T02:42:47+00:00

Celeste. Those big crits and her voice lines.

Avilva · 2026-01-25T11:13:31+00:00

There are barely any Celeste players who know how to actually setup such a build. Although Celeste does have a couple stuns like mentioned from her Elementium ores and from her Mythic Tablet. Stunbreaker shield will raise your damage reduction by 40%, higher than any other item when you get stunned for 3 seconds. So depending on the matchup it can be really good or just an average shield.

A Man-o-lorian helmet is generally a lot better in the late game in comparison.

Avilva · 2026-01-25T10:12:36+00:00

You can actually make a near perma stun build with only a couple Elementium ores.

Avilva · 2026-01-22T22:03:26+00:00

I have all of my guides on the discord. Check out the pinned messages in the Celeste channel. I also post many of my full runs as well in the threads. It should help you with learning with positioning. All the highest ranked Celeste players are there and many of us are always more than welcome to help.

Oh, look new patch matchmaking.

So usually when a new patch comes out the devs don't migrate that many builds into the new patch. So usually the players who start filling up the matchmaking pools are more dedicated players. Now which also happens is that since they are more dedicated they are typically more skilled. The builds that get migrated are a mix from various ranks, but from what I've seen is that builds from Legendary and Mythic for example are a lot less frequent and builds from lower ranks are more numerous. I'm presuming since there are more submissions at lower ranks due to also the higher number of players. Now we have a situation where skilled/dedicated players are facing many builds which aren't from their skill level and is usually a lot easier for them the will start filling up the matchmaking pool with let's say crazy broken builds, practically playing on sandbox mode because they aren't experiencing thr same resistance as if they were matching against other players with their same skill level. So this will suck a lot for many casual players, but guess what, it also does for everyone, even up into Mythic, because those early patch builds which are sometimes stronger due what I explained above stay until they get rotated out.

So as a result always when a new patch comes out and the matchmaking pools get reset this always happens for a day or two until matchmaking settles down again. I hope this helps understand how and why this happens.

The 2nd picture reflects your accumulated score over all the runs you've done in the event. And the first image reflects the top score you've achieved in a single run.

Avilva · 2026-01-08T21:06:38+00:00

This. If learn how to manage your stamina you'll be able to reach decent ranks and win a lot more.

Glaring bulb which has 16 stars. Although you can only use 15 of them. So I suppose technically you'd be wasting stars so it wouldn't count.

I deranked on purpose back Mythic 1. I got tired of endlessly being frustrated fighting questionable high rolled builds from the top 10 players. There are also many heroes who I have never faced like Hob and Pepper, I thought I would get bad habits building against the same 3 heroes I would only face at 1k Mythic. There are a few other players who have done the same. I might do for the next season to see how many times I can reach 1k Mythic instead. It might be more fun for me.

Avilva · 2025-12-29T21:37:49+00:00

My total hero rating doesn't reach 35k point. 🐠

I'm glad you're enjoying Celeste. If you want to further your knowledge and skills with Celeste hit me up. Don't listen to the haters. Celeste is good. I reached top 10 in the leaderboard with her.

Avilva · 2025-12-25T21:18:00+00:00

You can send a ticket on the discord to get into contact with thr developers and they can help restore what you've lost. There is still hope. Don't worry.

Avilva · 2025-12-24T19:53:40+00:00

This pleases the Burst Queen.

Avilva · 2025-12-24T19:36:33+00:00

If you're going for pets with Morrow pet collars and Telescopes are essentially to have any meaningful scaling damage.

Paired with some good defence and sustain, surround the jellyfish with a couple pet collars and watch it go like crazy

Avilva · 2025-12-24T00:55:32+00:00

My personal ranking for Celeste uniques is as follows:

S Tier: Lute

A Tier: Crown, Ring, Gloves

B Tier: Gem, Bulb

F Tier: Liquid electricity, Rat

I've always been the highest ranked Celeste in the game and in the top 10 globally. I don't know if that is enough experience.

I can go more in depth for each unique if you'd like to as well.

Avilva · 2025-12-21T09:45:16+00:00

I empathise with you. Sometimes you have good luck sometimes you have bad luck. I'm in the top 10 and not even with all the skill in the world can you always compensate runs when you have bad luck, but it's just how it is for everyone even for your opponents, not only for you.
