The celestial is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is the Champion creature of the Haven faction, and the upgraded version of the seraph.

The Celestials are champions of Elrath. Their given names are often those of more legendary Angels fallen during the Elder Wars, and some priests actually think that they are reincarnations of older Angel souls, returned by Elrath in this great time of trouble. Whatever their origin, they are extremely skilled in battle and fight with an absolute heroism and fearlessness that seems to come from an era of living legends.^OffBck

Abilities

	Living
	Can be healed and resurrected. Susceptible to morale.OffBck
	Blade of Epiphany
	“I was dead I tell you, and the Arch-Angel Michael brought me back. I came back stronger and faster. Alive again... to do Elrath’s bidding!” This is a typical testimony of a resurrected soldier in Michael’s campaign against the Prince of Hate. Had it not been for the tremendous resurrection powers of the Celestials, the demons would have certainly destroyed the Holy Empire. The Celestials can resurrect friendly creatures within two squares. Heals for a total of 51-52 Health for every Celestial. Resurrected creatures gain 30 Morale and 10 Initiative for 2 turns. Also, undead, demons and orcs in target zone are dealt 51-52 Light Damage.OffBck
	Blade of Judgment
	“If ever you strike an ally of Elrath, the Celestial will know it, for the steel in her blade will tremble.” from the Requiem verses of Queen Tuidhana. The Celestial’s Blade of Judgment is said to be attuned to the pain taken by her allies. It stores the transgression as a power, and when the ally’s aggressor is attacked, the pain adds to the target’s woes. Damage is increased by 20% on targets who have previously destroyed friendly stacks.OffBck
	Absolute Purity
	The Celestials' determination and faith in Elrath make them immune to all magic that attempts to hinder or sway them from their path. This tremendous ability has given rise to a well-known expression in the forests of Irollan. “Curse a Celestial? You might as well try cursing the sun!” The Celestial is immune to negative effects.OffBck

Tactics

The celestials are true powerhouses. Fast, huge defense, hit points and natural high morale. Its only real weakness is its low attack compared to the other Champion creatures.
