1. 1
  Healing Booster
  Built from Extra Regen
  Very good for its price + upgrades out into tempo, which despite being generally cost inefficient, is good on this char.
2. 2

1. 1
  Swift Striker
  Fire Rate, if you don't like blood tribute, get this and another 1600 decently early.
2. 2
  Kinetic Dash
  Celeste loves all of the conditionals on this, though if you don't like dash jumping, you can use SSB or Active Reload.

  Spellslinger
  This item is absolutely nuts. It helps you proc light eater lightning fast, whilst also giving u insanely short reloads and good farm.
2. 2
  Debuff Reducer
  Debuff Resist stacking is broken af - When paired with BT you get 55% DBR lol
3. 3
  Spiritual Overflow
6and the Dazzling Celeste!!!
Author's category · 8 items · The Grand Finale! (You probably wont use most of these)
1. 1
  Witchmail
  Celeste's non-existent cooldowns become even shorter with this, though this is very comp specific.
2. 2
  Indomitable
  Celeste is one of the few good abusers of this item in most scenarios
3. 3
  Refresher
  ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!
7VIPoptional
Author's category · 9 items · Defensive Greens
1. 1
  Reactive Barrier
  Built from Grit
  Great Grit Upgrade
2. 2
  Restorative Locket
  Great item since it helps her manage stamina better since her regen nerf, and it also just comes in handy with res and healing.
3. 3
  Weapon Shielding
8Audience Retentionoptional
Author's category · 12 items · A bunch of late game optional items
1. 1
  Armor Piercer
  Built from High-Velocity Rounds
  To make ends meet: never buy this unless it's super late and you're up against Plated Armors.
2. 2
  Frenzy
  This is an odd one, on one hand this is really good, on the other hand, you're only realistically ever geting this as a late game replacement for Blood Tribute.
3. 3
9Stage Props!optional
Author's category · 11 items · Extra things that are considerable at any stage. I'm not going to be the one to judge where they go.
1. 1
  Mystic Burst
  Alternative to Mystic Vuln early if you want a cheaper spirit 4800 that builds into Tankbuster later.
2. 2
  Improved Spirit
  If you just want the stat stick + cheaper boundless, use this as the 1.6k instead.
3. 3
  Enchanter's Emblem
