Today, we're introducing... ##### Celeste It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, _The Dazzling Celeste_, performs on the streets of Manhattan. Her show begins with _Light Eater_, where a deep breath lit by her blazing baton coats enemies in front of her, and grants increased damage against them. Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her _Dazzling Trick_, which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it. Try not to get distracted by her gliding gracefully through the air, or by the dance of her _Radiant Daggers_, as you'll regret being underneath them when they rain down from above. As for her memorable final act, the _Shining Wonder_ will make her allies go _OOH_ and her foes go _AGGHHH!_ - _"You are about to see something rare and wonderful!"_ Celeste is available to play in-game now! Join us on Thursday Feb 12th at 2pm for the release of Apollo and the conclusion of our [Old Gods, New Blood](https://www.playdeadlock.com/oldgods) update. We'll see you then!
