Why it works

• Two resists to buy. Most of Rat King Rat King New hero Released 2 October Released 2 October. A gun-scaling brawler and team buffer: a three-blast slowing grenade, rats that strip bullet resist with every bite, a reflecting barrier, and a banner that makes his team slow-immune. 's kit is Bullet Damage, so one Bullet Resist item answers him. Celeste deals Spirit Damage, so the enemy cannot cover both with one item.
• Held for the daggers. Radiant Daggers Radiant Daggers 30m Range33s Cooldown Celeste calls a shaft of light down from above a chosen point. Damage 55 impact damage base (deadlock.one); Defensive Used behind her to deter a chase through a corridor. 1 +2 charges 2 +80 impact damage and -22s cooldown 5 +8% spirit amp and +9% fire rate per stack has a formation delay that mobile targets dodge. Scrap Grenade Scrap Grenade 26s Cooldown Rat King throws a bouncing lump of scrap that goes off three times where it lands. Crowd Control 20% movement slow for 4s (scales slightly with Spirit). Damage 70 bullet damage per detonation (+0.6 weapon-damage scaling), three… Defensive The slow is his peel: thrown at his own feet it stops a diver from following… 1 -8s cooldown (26s to 18s) 2 +70 damage per detonation 5 one extra, bigger final detonation — 300 damage, 14m radius, 40% slow 's slow and the banner slam's Knockup keep enemies in place until it lands.
• No escape from either. Shining Wonder Shining Wonder 160s Cooldown Celeste launches an orb of light that damages the first target it strikes, slowing them and shortening their dash distance, then bounces on to other enemies in range. Crowd Control Movement slow plus a dash-distance reduction on each target hit; Damage 140 base spirit damage (deadlock.one); Defensive Slowing a chase is a real disengage use for a hero this fragile. 1 +20% move-speed slow and -15% dash distance 2 +80 damage 5 +8 maximum bounces and -30s cooldown shortens dash distance while Scrap Grenade Scrap Grenade 26s Cooldown Rat King throws a bouncing lump of scrap that goes off three times where it lands. Crowd Control 20% movement slow for 4s (scales slightly with Spirit). Damage 70 bullet damage per detonation (+0.6 weapon-damage scaling), three… Defensive The slow is his peel: thrown at his own feet it stops a diver from following… 1 -8s cooldown (26s to 18s) 2 +70 damage per detonation 5 one extra, bigger final detonation — 300 damage, 14m radius, 40% slow slows, so enemies caught between them struggle to get away.
