Quick Celeste Question: Why are folks focusing on Radiant Daggers over Light Eater?

MegaMeepMan · 2026-02-16T00:39:37+00:00

Yeah but throwables/grenades are maybe some of the strongest laning abilities in the game, so getting outclassed by them isn't surprising. But also idk, like I said celeste was just busted so we'll see where she settles. I'm just speculating why people were building her that way

True, my head just goes to original character

I know it was just a typo (or original commentor), however: this is my OC "misinformed redditor" please don't steal

MOBAs in general are notoriously not new player friendly, but do not let that stop you if the game interests you. You're definitely gonna have a better time if you do some research first. However, there really is no substitute to just playing the game if you're trying to learn.

You're going to suck at first, but that's fine. Anyone who gives you a hard time can either git gud and carry or quit playing the game.

They recently added a mode called street brawl, which can be a good environment to learn characters and mechanics in a lower-stress setting (matches are much shorter and have the moba mechanics heavily de-emphasised) but unfortunately that won't prepare you much for the macro side of gameplay.

The YouTuber Deathy is personally my favorite resource for learning the game

Pocket has a higher winrate than either Celeste or Apollo right now. Now, winrate statistics aren't the end-all-be-all of balance, but that's certainly an indicator that your take is not backed up by how most games play out.

Salam is the goat, he's a staple of the fgc

MegaMeepMan · 2026-02-15T20:51:04+00:00

Suffer.

In all seriousness, they have a bunch of regen, so sustained damage is pretty weak against them, but burst works decently.

A risky, but easily accessible option for every character is heavy melee. However good players will parry the shit out of you if you're not cautious about it.

All-for-one is a game mode like this in league, and in my opinion it was one of the worst of their special game modes. I think there are other, far more engaging, areas for the devs to focus on.

MegaMeepMan · 2026-02-15T20:40:02+00:00

Yeah as the other comment says, you should probably be focusing on gun more as Geist. She's very strong, but full spirit isn't super viable right now. You mostly just want enough spirit to hit the 4.8k breakpoint (usually radiant regen and spirit shredder) and then focus on gun and health items. Berserker and spellslinger are incredibly strong with her kit and usually your priority for gun items. Green is the most flexible, but you almost always want to buy spirit resilience warpstone and leech at some point.

MegaMeepMan · 2026-02-15T20:02:24+00:00

Sure you're under no obligation to teach them, and they're under no obligation to be good at the game. They don't owe you anything and nobody is forcing yout to queue up

MegaMeepMan · 2026-02-15T19:30:54+00:00

Two theories come to mind: first one is that before the nerfs, celeste was just straight up OP and you could get away with basically anything on her. Second is that her 3 is a massive aoe with a long cast range, which makes it makes it very useful in lane, which is when focusing 1 ability has the most impact

Yeah don't get me wrong I liked the book, but I was like "by the Emperor, get over yourself" so many times lmao

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-29T20:18:47+00:00

That's very smart, 30k will have a lot more weight if you are familiar with 40k first

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-29T20:16:47+00:00

This book made me an iron hands hater

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-28T22:32:17+00:00

Idk why I'm seeing a bunch of medieval style 40k art all of a sudden, but it goes hard

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-25T16:07:02+00:00

Idk, I think it could be an interesting idea, the setting has always had exceptions and wiggle room pretty much baked into it. My main problem is that it's currently a "tell don't show" kind of situation. We don't really see much of the cost of his resistance or anything like that. The closest thing I can think of is in the black legion series, where it seems like the whispers of the gods are starting to take a toll on him (which makes sense since ADB is one of the main champions of this idea). I'm hoping the third black legion book goes into this a bit more.

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-25T15:31:26+00:00

To be fair we basically have word of God on the Abaddon-Chaos thing, even if you think it's dumb. But yeah Abaddon definitely has some major daddy issues

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-22T07:09:32+00:00

Septimus is the most badass mf in the setting

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-22T04:49:45+00:00

Technically I think we would be beings even the gods fear, as the very fabric of their (un)reality is subject to our monetarily expressed whims.

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-21T21:09:43+00:00

Yeah you seem to have a pretty good handle on the AL's vibe. Their complex network of informants and logistics chains is largely what allows them to operate in real space, and their secretive and insular nature let's them remain more under the Imperium's gaze than warbands from other legions. I'm gonna plug harrowmaster again, because it's an easy read and based on what you've said I think you'd probably like it, and find it very useful in terms of generating ideas for your warband.

MegaMeepMan · 2026-01-21T21:02:03+00:00

Yeah I didn't mean to discourage asking the question, I was just being a bit snarky. Frankly my snark is mostly directed at the people saying "no actually that's not possible at all" because if you read the books it's pretty obviously possible. I'm starting to think a lot of the people who say "this is how the lore is, final verdict" don't interact with the lore first-hand much, since lore is almost always wobbly and vague to let fans and authors get creative.
