Ardan I've been in multiple 1v1's with Ardan, trapped in his arena he throws down, if you have Eve of Harvest by then, you should have no problem bursting him down, stun him if you can to take that much less damage, don't try to run out of his arena!
4
Glaive Glaive shouldn't be much of a problem, since his stun throws you, you should be able to counter with your stun and either run or burst him down.
5
Taka If you see Taka coming at you (which you usually won't) use your stun on yourself, since he's most likely going to gap close you with one of his 2 skills, your auto attacks will reveal him even if he stealths.
6
Ringo With any ranged enemies, if you can keep them at a distance, they won't be a problem, just remember you're very squishy. Also remember if you're quick enough you can stun his ult!
6
SAW

Skaarf Skaarf's ult will wipe you out 9/10 times, stun it when you can, or try to run.
6
Adagio Stun his ultimate when possible

8
Catherine Watch out for her stun, especially if she's laning with a ranged hero
9
Krul Krul is one of the hardest in my opinion to counter with Celeste, he only needs a few stacks to take you out, keep an eye out for him
9
Joule Joule is another pretty hard one to counter, she's got just enough range that she can chase you pretty well, her ultimate WILL one hit you, though it can be stunned.
10
Koshka I've had the most problems with Koshka, if she hits you with her stun, it's over, especially if she's not alone.

How to play a glass cannon Top

For those who don't know the term glass cannon means a character that does a lot of damage, but sacrifices all defense, so you end up being very squishy, glass cannons can be a HUGE asset to a team, especially if you have an Ardan or Catherine building for support.
You want to remember to save your stuns either for stunning an enemy ultimate, or for running, when running you usually want to try to cast it right behind yourself, to kind of make up for the slight delay.
Never stand still, I can't stress it enough, as soon as you try to attack an enemy without moving, you're done, stay as far from the enemy as you can, and use your A skill often.
If you have a second ranged laner (especially Saw) you're going to want to start with an ironguard contract, because chances are he's going to get 90% of the lane kills, since your A skill will burst them down enough for him to take the last hit of basically the whole group, which isn't a problem with the contract, you both get gold for it, and you can focus on pushing and bullying enemy hero's while they push minions.
After I hit 1500 gold I'll base and buy a battery, and fill the rest of my spots with Crystal Bits (you can either sell your contract at this point, or keep it to continue earning the bonus gold, it's really whatever you prefer, sometimes I'll sell it at this point and buy tier 1 boots.)
Then after I feel I've earned a decent amount I'll base again and buy a tier 2 battery, and as many Heavy Prism's as I can afford, basically you're trying to get up to upgrading all of your crystal bits into Shatterglass, and your battery into Eve of Harvest, though I'll usually try to get the Eve of Harvest before any Shatterglass', but again, it's how you prefer to play.
Hopefully this quick guide helps out a little bit, it's definitely not an easy build to play, but late game, you'll be able to 1 hit almost any enemy hero with your ultimate if you can hit them with most of the stars, I was 1 hitting Saw, and taking Ardan down to almost nothing. Good luck! I hope you enjoy this character as much as I have!
