Celeste is, overall, a typical carry hero: meaning she can dish out high amounts of damage, but she is very vulnerable to ganks and heroes that can spike damage. The items that you want to have in a typical CP build are:
1. Shatterglass - this will greatly increase her overall ability damage, as well as her basic attack damage, as her perk gives all of her basic attacks a crystal ratio.
2. Broken Myth - this item amplifies crystal damage during extended times of combat, as well as offering a small shield pierce, this item is a must have by at least the 20 minute mark.
3. Eve of Harvest - this item gives your next 1200 points of crystal damage 10% life-steal, and helps you stay alive in the drawn-out fights that are typical of the Late Game. This item can be finished before Broken Myth, but only if you are having trouble surviving in the mid-game.
4. Aegis - this item is almost always a must have by the 10 minute mark, so that you can avoid those pesky Ults that can quickly diminish you HP or leave you vulnerable to ganks.
5. Slumbering Husk - this item is almost always a must have, as Celeste is very squishy: it protects you from damage spikes that are often the cause of her deaths in-game.
6. Halcyon Chargers - these boots are great for fleeing a forced close fight scenario, and also help keep her energy levels in check, as she is very ability reliant.
Overall, when playing Celeste, you want to be able to dish out high damage, while also being able to protect yourself from ganks and forced fights. Keeping your distance in crucial: use your Heliogenisis (first ability) to keep vision around you and preferably avoid enemy heroes waiting to gank you. Don't be afraid to flee if the situation turns nasty, and use your first ability's burst function to dish out the most damage. Her Ult is very effective in killing fleeing heroes, if they have low health. Try to always have a friendly hero nearby to assist if you get ganked. Ability upgrade path should always attempt to max out her first and Ult, as her first on Overdrive increases the range that it can be cast, and her Ult gains two stars with every level it is upgraded.
