Trivia

  • Most Celestial Combos require more complex Combos than Light and Rage to activate a power.
  • Each Celestial Combo can only activate a single power in the opposite tree.
  • Powers in the Blessed Tree are Golden for both factions.
  • Powers in the Cursed Tree are Purple for both factions.
  • The combo version of each power changes to match the first skill used, for instance, a combo starting with a power from the Blessed skill will cause the combo from the Cursed skill tree's power to have the same design, and vice-and-versa, meaning every single skill with a combo in Celestial has 2 kinds of animation, one corrupted and one cleansed.
  • Similar to Light, the color of weapon attacks change for each faction, being golden for Heroes and dark-purple and black for Villains.
  • Some Celestial powers are themed after Felix Faust.
  • Before March 31st, 2015, access to Celestial powers was included in the Sons of Trigon DLC pack. Previous owners of the DLC will retain access to the power.
  • Some boss encounters in DC Universe Online content utilise Celestial abilities as some of their mechanics. For example, Vampire Lord in the JLD: Darkness Rising operation has several mechanics inspired by various Corrupted abilities that Celestial has.
