    Doesn't seem like much about her changed.

        Last time I remember she got slight buff on her lucent beam
        Also shadow demon and drow strats

          What is shit about her? She puts out tremendous AOE damage with Glaive. And her ult can pick off pretty much anyone solo. Had a 7 game win streak with her the past few days.

            Not exactly shitty but easy to counter (you shouldn't be picking carries first anyway especially situational heroes like luna,PL and shit so whatever)

            Whoregasm

              she has highest move speed in game, her glaive works as svens cleave (along lines of lifesteal). She can flash farm, lucent beam stuns for a full second i think (or .8 sec i cant remember but it got a significant buff). with satanic triggered and no cc during the duration she will return to full health she has high dmg output with aura to allies early on. If you can have an ogre magi bloodlust a luna she is unstoppable.

                Her ulti is broken and farms way too easy,fast

                  If you go 1 by 1 with her (wih bkb off course) u can win the fight

                  pls be patient very noob ...

                    ^not when she pulls ahead of networth into mid-late game

                      she's always been pretty good in pubs but squishy, but something about the meta now, it's working. I won 4 luna games in a row, sure I just jinxed it by saying that. But no one is pressuring my lane or my farm really, except one game we had to come from behind and even they backed off at minute 30 and let us farm. I think she's not that hard to counter, rush bkb, don't let her farm, but in pubs no one does that.

                      Dire Wolf

                        set my personal record for hero dmg, tower dmg and tower dmg per second. This hero feels ridiculous right now actually, and last game I even had the shittiest lane with bb vs me and a venge ie no range or way to harass him much, he quills us to death. I think I had 25 cs at 10 mins.

                        The key I think is dragon lance, it allows her to fight almost like a normal ranged hero which is huge when going toe to toe with melees and such that would normally shred you. Kite like a mofo with her speed, get some hits in. Dominator of course is core to stack ancients, but dragon lance is so crucial I'm fitting it in before treads even.

                        What I've been doing is starting with 2 tangos, ring of protection, circlet. Brown boots, finish aquila so you can spam beam to keep offlaners away, dominator so you can start stacking asap, dragon lance, finish treads, manta, bkb if needed, butterfly. You can go bkb after yasha before manta too but yasha is so good I wouldn't rush bkb before it. Ideally you can get everything but butterfly by like 20-25 mins and no one can really fight you then.

                        Skill build go beam, 1 point in aura, beam, glaives, beam, ult, beam, max glaives, max aura. I used to always max aura first but a tip from matrice is it really doesn't do that much dmg for luna alone, it's a team ult so you don't need it early. Getting level 4 glaives is crucial for farming, it doubles the glaives. You might even want to skip the last point or two in beam to max glaives first with a 2/4/1/1 build at 8 if you have total free farm and fights aren't breaking out.

                          thank god it was the first thing i saw so i didn't have to read the whole thing to conclude that the author has 0 idea about the hero xD

                          Azryel

                            Because her ultimate got buffed stupidly so she's strong in pub games.

                            Master Lew

                              just use bkb and blademail against her

                                @dannyboi i thought you needed octarine to lifesteal off of glaives? i can't be bothered to set up a lobby - are you sure you're right?

                                  "Deals a total of 165%/207%/235%/272% physical damage, assuming max bounces per level."

                                  Getting level 4 in glaives actually is not as important as it seems(still a significant boost, though). The last bounces deal pretty low damage and it's quite ok to go aura early with 2 points in glaive maybe, but personally I like the max-glaives-at-10 build more, too.

                                  If we measured how much points in glaive boosts flash-farming speed(ignoring some factors such as time between bounces and etc) the numbers would be 65&/24%/13%/15%. The last 2 points give about as much boost as putting skill points in jugger's crits, which is often OK not to do in favour of healing ward of stats.

                                    if you use bkb against her, any ally without a bkb will get extra lucent beam strikes from her ulti so great to save you but sad times for your supports :)

                                      Isn't beam the first thing you should max because it synergizes with your ulti and best taken early because doesn't scale? Glaive can be prioritized if you have a shitty lane and want to jungle tho

                                        u never skill beam at lvl 1, it's complete garbage
                                        maxing beam is ok and is what u should do in most games

                                          she's got like the weirdest timings ever. She has a good laning stage and early game then midgame she falls off completely if she's not farming and then lategame she's a monster again

                                          sisyphus

                                            it's more that aura is better than beam for the first skill point generally speaking

                                                                                          Luna at late game is a scary nightmare for every team.
                                                                                          only heroes like morph spectre and slark can match up with her at late game.

                                                                                          Цей коментар був відредагований

                                                                                            ok I'll try aura first point and maxing beam after.

                                                                                            Would there ever be a case to skip ult to get a 4/4/1/0 build at 9, then ult at 10? A lot of times I don't find a lot of fights until around then anyway. But I guess risking that probably isn't worth it since you can tp to a tower dive and get like 3 free kills with ult sometimes.

                                                                                            Dire Wolf

                                                                                              She definitely out damages jugger late. Jug scales pretty well into late but his real value late game I think is the crazy 1.4 BAT so he can bash you to death with abyssal so hard. His single target burst is amazing.

                                                                                              Sven though with god's strength up still does a lot more dmg than luna I am pretty sure, but it's close. Sven and jug are burst heroes though, luna is not. Glavies can't crit and thus luna almost never builds crit, she doesn't have one or two shot burst like those heroes but does massive amounts of dmg vs entire team.

                                                                                              But sven gets kited fairly. Luna with hurricane pike is very hard to kite. If you force staff and ghost scepter sven is kind of screwed. If you force staff vs luna she has range and if you ghost scepter her ult kills you.

                                                                                              Mbeju Volador
