My favorite Greater Craymel ^^

Celsius is an interesting case. She can be very difficult or extremely easy, depending on how much you want to cheat her AI. It boils down to one of her move combinations: Mirage and Chi. She likes to use this when being hit or after being hit. If you predict this you can jump behind her and get a punish. And if she keeps on using the combo out of hitstun, which she likes to do very much, then you can essentially infinite loop her. It's not guaranteed but it can build up a lot of damage. I find it very boring to watch though, so i opt to only do it 2-3 times before ending it with a Chi.

Without that exploit, Celsius is actually very hard. Her melee attacks come out fast and can hit hard if you get trapped in a Maximum Burst. Her spells can be nightmares too; Ice Needle isn't a big deal, but Freeze Lancer almost always guarantees damage, Absolute isn't too hard to dodge but can wipe half your health, and Blizzard, which she didn't use in this run, is straight up undodgable and guaranteed damage.

This fight is also very dance-like, trying to react to Celsius' movements and trying to bait her in using the aforementioned Mirage + Chi combo, with a Mirage of my own. I feel this fight looks kinda easy here, but it actually took a lot of practice. Aside from Blizzard and Freeze Lancer, I feel that Celsius is one of the best designed bosses in this game, so this was a lot of fun.

Also if you're doing this fight on your own, take a note that Fatal Fury does huge amounts of damage to Celsius, but leaves you very open at the end, which is why I opted not to use it myself out of preference.
