⭐ Celestial Deck Building Guide

Master the Celestial faction in Dfiance with our comprehensive deck building guide. Learn optimal strategies, card synergies, and competitive deck construction techniques.

Celestial Faction Overview

The Celestial faction is Flying-focused with army tactics and revival. This faction excels at flying system: all units fly when counter reaches 0 (+1 atk, untargetable) and offers unique gameplay patterns that reward strategic thinking and precise execution.

Core Strengths

  • Flying system: All units fly when counter reaches 0 (+1 ATK, untargetable)
  • Reinforce mechanics for board flooding with Recruit tokens
  • Medic abilities to revive destroyed units with ATK limits
  • Enhancement effects for powerful ATK buffs

Key Strategies

  • Use Ascend abilities like Ghost of Celeste to trigger flying earlier
  • Deploy Reinforce units like Celestial Charger for board presence
  • Leverage Medic cards like Gentle Yoli for value recovery
  • Time flying activation for maximum tactical advantage

Celestial Deck Building Fundamentals

AP Cost Curve

Celestial decks can afford higher AP costs due to Flying bonuses and late-game threats. Focus on 2-4 AP units, include Reinforce tokens for early board, and 4-6 AP powerhouses like Old Strimon and Marshal Uodiqir.

Win Conditions

Win by timing Flying activation for maximum ATK bonus and untargetability. Use Reinforce for board presence, Medic revival for value, and Enhanced units for overwhelming ATK.

Key Synergies

Combine Ascend/Descend abilities to control Flying timing. Pair Enhancement with Reinforce tokens, use Medic with high-value units, and protect key threats until Flying activates.

Popular Celestial Archetypes
