A word on Heliogenesis Top
The overdrive on Heliogenesis is what makes this build work. It keeps you out of the fray of battle and able to scout bushes from a relative safe distance. If you do not overdrive this ability you will die, this I promise you.
It begins. Top
Welcome to Celeste. We will be playing her in the lane as a primary damage dealer for your team. Grab your starting items. If you fear an early lane kill (from a Koshka and Catherine for example) grab a void battery and a scout trap to start. Go farm in lane and get as much gold as you can while harassing the enemy laner (the best Celeste players can do both with one explosion). Pick up your b move at level 2 and use it almost exclusively for self deffense, or knocking weapon Saw out of his spin ups. It is a very powerful move as it can catch multiple opponents in the stun and will offten allow escape from certain death.
Don't get ganked Top
When you have enough gold for your second shoping spree watch for when you team is down by the jungle shop and head in. Do not linger in the jungle and do not go in without at least 1 team mate very near. You should be pretty energy starved at this point, and likley damaged,so pop a potion and head back up to the lane with your mines which, with propper placement, should give you a relative level of safety and the ability to push the lane a bit. Go back to farming and harassing. Watch for the team fights in the jungle as your pressence makes all the difference.
The power begins to flow. Top
Follow the same rule and shop in the jungle when it is safe, although you may have to return to base for healing at this point. This is fine as your boots with help you get back into the action (only use their active for escape) By now your energy problem should cease but keep a potion or two on you to help with your health regen, especially if laning against a Ringo. Go replace your mines, which have likely been tripped, and go back to farming. Be aware of your team.
Artillery Mage Top
By now you should have your A at level 5 and your control of the battlefield just increased dramatically. Furthermore, you now have the distance needed and the energy regen to look in every bush around you. Do so. Keep as much distance as you can from your opponents and yourself. Your damage is starting to be impressive, every attack you make heals you dramatically, even your basic and you should really feel her comming into her own at this point. Gather your allies and push the attack.
The Howitzer Top
Now is when the damage gets silly and one star exploding can do 1/4 or even 1/3 of your opponent health. Harass harass harass. Even you basic attacks should be pretty terrifying at this point. Late game teamwork becomes incredibly important. For you this means sticking to the back and blasting the hell out of your enemies. Look to initiate or turn the tide of team battles with your ult, which will be very powerful. Have a meat sheild between you and your opponents at all times.
End game Top
Do not upgrade your boots to 3rd tier. This was not a typo. They do little for you and your extra gold is going towards crystal infusions. When you have 1000 gold sell you teir 2 boots buy an infusion, use it, and immediately buy your boots back. This will give you the edge you need to crush your opponents in those final team fights.
