Celestia

Overview

Celestia (CL) is a great magical synergy DPS character who offers a lot of buffs and debuffs for the party. He can deal damage to both big and small targets.

Pros

• Easy to understand.

• Great synergy for the magical party.

• Amazing performance on big targets.

• The title “The Setting Sun” is not needed on Celestia due to the self Cooldown Reduction passive.

• Deals damage from Master Skill.

• Great clearing for EXP and general content.

Cons

• High investment character for some people due to being a “double build character” - depending on the target, he prioritizes different skills.

• High El Resonance required - maxed Cooldown Reduction (CDR), MP Usage Decrease, and Max MP.

• Does less damage if the raid is faster due to his skills.

• On a small target, his performance is not that great.

Stats for Celestia

• Critical: 88.77%

• Maximize: 68.28%

• Action Speed: ~125%

Celestia Mechanics

• Half Moon - he is the only Noah with a fixed moon phase.

Upon choosing this path, the moon phase becomes locked to the Half Moon permanently.

This means that Celestia should use Awakening every 15 seconds for a cooldown reset. For more information, please read the Elwiki article.

• Card System

Celestia has a card system that can increase his damage but also provides support for party members. It includes four cards, each with different benefits:

• Aquarius - provides a Magical Attack buff for the party (Critical and Maximize Increase for self)

  

• Scorpio - self Boss Damage Increase and activates the passive “Pale Blue Dot” [level 40]

  

• Leo - party Max HP Increase (Damage Reduction Increase for self)

  

• Gemini - Cooldown Reduction for party and block mechanic (from the passive “Navigator of Space” [level 99])

For general use, it’s recommended to go with Aquarius and Scorpio. In some rare cases, Celestia may switch to the Aquarius and Leo combo. This setup is especially effective in Altar of Invocation (15-6), Phase 3 [Challenge Mode].

What does Celestia provide for the party?

• Aquarius card - Magical Attack buff

• Leo card - Max HP buff

• Natal Chart - Cooldown Acceleration and MP Recovery per second

• Horary - Damage Increase and Special Resource Recovery

• Nebula - Magical Defense Decrease, Critical Damage Taken Increase, minor healing

• Zodiac - debuff cleanse

Skill Bar

The Force Skill on the Q slot is for the title timer.

• Small/Medium Target

• Big Boss Target

Skills that are also useful:

• Radix [level 15] - self HP/MP regeneration upon hitting an enemy

• Retrograde [level 25] - Max MP Increase and MP Usage Decrease buff

Priority during Green Exascale’s Complete:

• small target: [Mod] Dark Moon: Quasar

• medium target: Galaxias

• big target: Zodiac

About the second Hyper Active (HA) Skill “Luminary”

Luminary is absolutely essential. While in the HA state, Celestia guarantees maximum value from Natal Chart and Horary. HA also boosts his damage, so keeping track of the buff’s uptime (see icon below) is important.

About the Master Skill “Sirius”

Use Level 4 for maximum damage output!

One of many sources of his damage. Artifact can further increase Master Skill Damage via:

1. Artifact Growth Stage (on the 2nd stage by 20%)

2. Artifact Accessories

3. Hidden Power

4. Force Skills from Master Road:

   

Skill Tips

• [Mod] Quick Strike: Arcana - a skill that makes stacking his buffs easier.

• Horary - supportive effects aside, it is a good i-frame skill as well.

• Galaxias - due to the skill’s animation, it’s recommended to step back slightly from time to time.

• Stella Dust - an Active Skill that is useful for mobility.

Skill rotation

1. Choose 2 cards as fast as the dungeon starts

2. Hyper Active: Luminary

3. Horary (Collection of Light)

4. Natal Chart while wearing Freed Shadow/Concerto (buff title) - forced Half Moon Awakening

5. Main DPS skill

   1. small: [Mod] Dark Moon: Quasar

   2. medium: Galaxias

   3. big: Zodiac

6. [Mod] Quick Strike: Arcana

7. Nebula

8. Main DPS skill again

9. Secondary DPS skill

The rotation continues depending on how the skill bar CDR behaves. CL should keep spamming [Mod] Quick Strike: Arcana to maintain max Aquarius/Leo stacks on the entire party.

Natal Chart should be used once every 120 seconds. Since Celestia’s HA provides constant Cooldown Acceleration and can forcibly trigger Awakening, the rotation effectively resets whenever HA is activated.

“Double build character”

Celestia has two build paths. Against smaller targets, he focuses on Bravery skills, while against larger enemies, he switches to Strength skills. Because of this dual scaling, it’s worth considering a double ring from Ereda, Cut-ins, an Artifact Necklace, and Awakening Customization to boost damage from both skill types.

For players choosing the Undead Weapon on Celestia:

The roll system is pure gacha, so there’s no guarantee of getting specific stats. For CL, it’s generally best to avoid “Bravery Damage Increase” and “Strength Damage Increase.” This is mainly due to the dual-build nature and the fact that the Master Skill can deal significant damage. Because of that, “All Skill Damage” is the most consistent stat to aim for, while Attack % and Attack Level remain top priority.

Equipment Recommendation

• Tenebrous
  Because of the self CDR and Natal Chart effects, Celestia consistently opts for Titan Slayer. The first line should be Critical Damage for Sirius and Luminary to benefit.

• Exascale
  It’s recommended to use Compute Exascale with a Continuous Damage Top Piece on Celestia for several reasons. First, it provides self CDR, as mentioned in the Tenebrous section. Second, the red Exascale effect significantly boosts damage, increasing Master Skill and HA damage by 500% when Logic stacks are sacrificed.

• Atma’Ram accessories
  You should go for the Grove set to enjoy the permanent Critical Damage Increase and a small MP Recovery effect upon Awakening.
