[Vol. 17] Agent Intro | Celestia

[old lagoon]

Celestia shines as a guiding star, mending hearts and souls with her healing essence.

[daring mantle]

Too bad she is the worst agent in the game

[shut wren]

I tried my best to master Celestia.
My best shot was to stay close to the strongest ally and use guardian star with the armor upgrade before and after the fight.
(20 shield regeneration and 20 shield overhealing)

The problem is that the healing is too slow. It takes around a second. Shooting the target along with my ally appears to be a better option, so I only heal before and after a fight.

[ebon coral]

I run A2 if you’re on defense/playing slow. A3 is better for when you’re pushing with 2-3 of your teammates and playing super aggressive.

[shut wren]

For me, the most of the fights ended before the flash detonated (ally died and enemy ran away), or the attacker was not within my range.

It works only when the selected ally is on the frontline, and multiple allies are ready to attack when the flash happens.

When the enemy learns how the flash works, it becomes mostly useless.

[ebon coral]

Yeah exactly, that’s why personally I run A3 over A2

If the game is being played slower by both teams, that’s where A2 can work much better

It’s definitely situational though

[shut wren]

I play like Rei in paladins.
(aggressive "pocket healer" with high self healing)

[ebon coral]

Yeah and she can get away with that

Her gun is super good if you’re accurate while ADS

I guess also while I’m at it, play with your allies, otherwise your skills are typically quite useless while you’re alone. Minus your ult ofc

[shut wren]

my ult always gets interrupted :c
if they shot me while I float above the healed ally, I go back.
I typically use this on a wounded ally who is in a fight.

[ebon coral]

Yeah

[shut wren]

it can be quite unpleasant when I want to use it to fast travel from the spawn

[ebon coral]

And also I think some people think they’re invincible while they’re picking a target in their ult state

Yeah

Tbh what to think of it as is a double ming ult

They both give around the same armor right?

[shut wren]

Celestia support gameplay.
-stay close to the tank
-mark the enemies (By default there is no hotkey for this. I use the middle click)
-when attacked, try to run until the tank shoots the attacker
-build: astral armor, reduced cooldown, light armor (I use heavy armor in some videos by mistake)

[thick remnant]

wouldn’t heavy armor be more efficient since she has her healing? when i run heavy i usually get my passive upgrade before my q

[ebon coral]

depends on some gunfights, her passive only heals 2 shields per tick compared to the 6 of light regen armor. I personally always run heavy but some people play diff

[shut wren]

The armor regen of Celestia is often misunderstood.

Celestia armor regen: 2/1s
Light regen armor: 6/2s = 3/s

When the regeneration of Celestia is upgraded, it becomes 4/s.
It stacks with light regen armor, so the max is 7/s in demolition mode.

Heavy armor increases the armor to 115, and light armor to 90.
IMO, the almost double regen worths more than +25 HP.

[daring mantle]

You cant regen back from dead

[thick remnant]

koko can

[daring mantle]

and celestia isnt koko

[ebon coral]

who cares, celes is still a very solid support that can be played offensively and defensively

[thick remnant]

preach

[daring mantle]

nah she is literally worst agent in the game

better off picking literally anyone else

[thick remnant]

trash take

10/10 rage bait tho

[feral jungle]

People hating on Celestia, she def isn't bad lmao. She isn't amazing, but she is a Solid B-Tier agent.

So many agents are worse than her for both sides.

[daring mantle]

nah you are literally trolling every time you pick her

in every single situation there is better character available to pick

[feral jungle]

I mean, not exactly? Fragrans kinda allows the offensive plays Celestia can make... but also not really? Celestia makes somebody tank more. Fragrans makes somebody move and shoot faster. Celestia is a much better character for being in the fight with the duelists compared to other characters that aren't duelists.

[daring mantle]

celestia gives armor to survive one shot to one player on your team and it has flight delay as well, frag gives rof + movement speed to kill enemy faster and throw off aim + her buff doesnt have any travel time and works on everyone who was/is in radius

[feral jungle]

Surviving one extra bullet in a gun fight is very important for duelist characters. Sure rof+movement is important. But against a decent player it won't help too much. Plus for attack, the rof isn't as important as movement. Of course, if you have a2(?) It doesn't matter much, but for the first few rounds Celestia has better utility for winning fights. With the flash it changes the utility too.

The flight delay is a thing, but since you wanna use it before a fight it isn't too important.

[daring mantle]

killing faster and moving faster to throw off aim isnt important?

yeah i see no point in continuing discussion then, perhaps you will understand when you will lose gunfights due to your opponent having them constantly

but unfortunate that most think that buffs do nothing unless they pop as numbers on their screen

[feral jungle]

Where did I say that my guy? I legit said they are. But also surviving one extra bullet is. Like that's it lmao

[daring mantle]

sure, sure

one extra bullet in tankiness is surely more important than actually winning the duel by killing the enemy faster

[feral jungle]

If you as a duelist are playing it right with a Celestia? Yes. It does matter actually. Shooting faster can lead to more bullets missing. It means less ammo in your gun. Again, it's not bad. But the extra bullet can save you in a duel. Plus it gives regen. And it gives a flashbang.

[thick remnant]

taking rage bait to a whole new level

[daring mantle]

just dont miss

[feral jungle]

You right. It's not like this game has a mechanic that is meant to purposefully make somebody very hard to hit or anything...

[daring mantle]

literally skill issue

[ebon coral]

Nah fr though

Bro’s mad bad over celes

What’d she do to deserve this

[scenic aurora]

thank you for this enlightenment. I played Celestia for her passive, not her gun...

[west magnet]

Things forgot to ask(not sure I could tell them precisely):

1. With astral armor remained, can it be counted as "no damage"?
   Normally The light armor gives us 6 armor/sec to avoid any damage in 2 sec.
2. People tends to use heavy armor when team has celes. So is A3 better than A2?

[feral jungle]

As of now, it depends. A3 is better when playing a lot slower and more pokey, which isn't really what you want to do in a Celestia comp. But it is more effective if your team is easily able to win team fights as it helps quickly recover from a fight. A2 helps you win team fights.

[wet hazel]

Shadow Rose was the first legendary I wanted 🔥 https://youtu.be/KfSOL0lbAhg?si=8X757dXDNXFY7_kz

[hoary bough]

Whats better, burst or full auto?

[feral jungle]

Full auto. Burst is only good at range

[hoary bough]

I usually play at range tho
But yea i get ur point and agree with it

[feral jungle]

Well, with Celestia you actually wanna be up in the face of the enemy a lot since you have extra armor and are usually playing with your duelist up close and personal.

Only time you shoot from range is when you can't get close

[hoary bough]

Point

[daring mantle]

celestia isnt good period

just use frag instead

[hoary bough]

She still works sometimes

[daring mantle]

once per year perhaps

[west magnet]

not so lessq

[scenic aurora]

Celestia passive can be handy on round 1, and her ult is handy for taking fights... unlike Fragrans ult.

Celestia A2 is quite painful to fight against but her gun is even more painful to use because it's got truly horrible stats...

[queen portal]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELESTIA!!!!!
