Bad against...[]

  • Despite Ancient Apparition's fragileness, he can easily harass Luna on lane with Chilling Touch due to it's high range and damage. This can get even worse if Ancient Apparition buys Aghanim's Scepter and combines it with items that can give him bonus attack damage and attack speed.
  • Chilling Touch combined with Ice Vortex can make it difficult for Luna to escape from Cold Feet
  • Ice Blast can nullify any healing Luna receives and any attempt for her to save herself with Satanic, even through Black King Bar.
  • For the same reasons, Ancient Apparition makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Even though Luna can easily kill Jakiro in few strikes, he can also do the same to her is she is not careful.
  • Dual Breath and Liquid Fire allow Jakiro to harass Luna more efficiently than she can harass Jakiro with her Lucent Beam.
  • Jakiro can save his allies from Luna during her attempts to use Eclipse by casting Ice Path on Luna.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Macropyre can deal pure damage-over-time and pierce spell immunity, which can make it very hard for Luna to be in teamfights without suffering too many damage.
  • For the same reasons, Jakiro makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Because of her low range, Luna cannot easily destroy Healing Ward.
  • Both Blade Fury and Omnislash are direct counters to Eclipse, offering Juggernaut spell immunity and invulnerabilty. Therefore, Luna will need assistance in taking down Juggernaut as going solo will not be successful.
  • Lina has very high magic burst damage to use against the low-health-pool Luna. Laguna Blade can also be upgraded with Laguna Blade damage is Pure and pierces Spell Immunity to bypass Black King Bar, making Lina even more of a threat. Luna however, can easily counter this problem with Linken's Sphere, which is a common item for her.
  • For the same reasons, Lina makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Should Luna choose to buy Manta Style, Medusa will be able to kill illusions from them with Split Shot and Mjollnir, which is a common item on Medusa.
  • Mystic Snake allows Medusa to easily harass Luna and steal mana from her, preventing Luna from retaliating with Lucent Beam.
  • Medusa can survive Eclipse thanks to Mana Shield, which can cause Luna to struggle greatly in bursting down Medusa and force her to buy Diffusal Blade and it's upgrade Disperser.
  • Even with Black King Bar, Medusa's Stone Gaze will still be able to disable Luna, which could even discourage her from counter-initiating with Eclipse.
  • Even though Moon Glaives can bounce between Meepo and his clones, Meepo can tank Eclipse because of his clones.
  • Earthbind takes away Luna's mobility advantage.
  • Meepo can shutdown Luna's split-push ability with his global presence.
  • Even though Luna can clear Phantom Lancer's illusions with Moon Glaives, Phantom Lancer can create too many illusions to tank Luna's Eclipse and for Luna to handle overall.
  • Doppelganger can be used to dodge a number of Lucent Beams during Eclipse.
  • Phantom Lancer can chase Luna effectively regardless of her high movement speed thanks to Phantom Rush and Spirit Lance.
  • Luna's low health pool is easily exploited by the sheer damage output from Phantom Lancer's illusions. Additionally, Phantom Lancer can often create more illusions for Luna to handle.
  • Even with Black King Bar, Pudge's Meat Hook and Dismember can still disable Luna for a fairly long time.
  • Many stacks of Flesh Heap will make it difficult for Luna to burst down Pudge with Eclipse. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Dismember can also allow Pudge to save an allied hero from being killed by Eclipse.
  • Bear in mind, however, that Luna can cancel Dismember if some of her allies are targets. Which may force Pudge to buy Black King Bar earlier.
  • Telekinesis allows Rubick and his team to coordinate a gank on Luna early on. And just like Aghanim's Shard upgraded Dismember, Aghanim's Shard upgraded Telekinesis can also allow Rubick to save an allied hero from being killed by Eclipse.
  • Fade Bolt allows Rubick to harass Luna on lane and weaken her attack damage early on.
  • Both, Lucent Beam and Eclipse are very useful for Rubick to steal with Spell Steal, Luna's only way to counter this is with Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Lunar Orbit".. Rubick can also use them from further distances than Luna thanks to Arcane Supremacy that increases his cast range and when he gets Aghanim's Scepter.
  • Burrowstrike allows Sand King to escape from Eclipse or to close the gap on Luna and finish her off.
  • Sand Storm allows Sand King to harass Luna more efficiently than she does with Lucent Beam, as it makes him invisible for it's duration and while in it, rendering him safe from both, Lucent Beam and Eclipse and forcing Luna to buy Dust of Appearance more often.
  • Caustic Finale allows Sand King to deal serious damage to both, Luna and her allies, which is especially hazardous in laning stage as Luna's attack range is short.
  • Epicenter combined with Burrowstrike and Sand Storm can often kill Luna before she can do anything because of her low health and strength gain.
  • Overall, Sand King forces Luna to play more defensively instead of offensively, and for the same reasons, Sand King makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Shadow Dance prevents Luna from damaging Slark, and together with Silver Edge he can easily chase her or escape from her.
  • Luna has no way to escape from Pounce's leash, which is especially bad as she is not used to buying Wind Waker, which is the only way to escape from Pounce outside of Black King Bar.
  • For the same reasons, Slark makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Demonic Purge takes off Luna's superior mobility, removing the need for chasing her and allowing your team to reposition in team fights or escape when at low HP. If Shadow Demon has Aghanim's Scepter it will also take away glaive bounces and extra damage from Luna's passive. And Luna's commonly items Manta Style and Black King Bar does not work dispell to Demonic Purge
  • Luna's illusions created by Disruption are very valuable with their Moon Glaives. These will effectively counter her pushing attempts and are painfully effective in team fights.
  • Disruption can be used to save an ally from Eclipse.
  • For the same reasons, Shadow Demon makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.
  • Zeus's highly damaging nuke spells with low cooldowns is not something Luna can go against, though Luna can win against Zeus in late game.
  • Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Thundergod's Wrath". can be used before a fight to harm Luna before she activates Black King Bar, reducing her survivability for that fight.
  • For the same reasons, Zeus makes a very powerful ally for Luna when they are in the same team.

Others[]

Items[]

  • Items which allow the enemy to go invisible, such as Glimmer Cape and Shadow Blade. Silver Edge will also disable Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing as an added effect. However, this problem can be partly solved with Dust of Appearance, but that will require of Luna to consume one item slot less. Luna's only proper solution to counter this problem is to buy Gleipnir that can be used to root multiple heroes at once in an area.
  • Black King Bar and other forms of Spell Immunity will block Luna's magical damage output. However, they will not block Luna's high physical damage, since Luna often goes for items that give her bonus attack damage and attack speed.
  • Vanguard and it's upgrades Abyssal Blade and Crimson Guard can greatly reduce damage from Moon Glaives.
  • Bloodthorn will render Luna helpless until she buys a dispelling item like Black King Bar, Manta Style, Satanic or Disperser.
  • Wind Waker can be used to both, dodge Eclipse and escape from Luna, and Luna's only way to counter this is by buying Nullifier.
  • Blade Mail can reflect Luna's damage burst against her. This problem however, can be solved by buying Black King Bar as damage return from Blade Mail cannot pierce spell immunity.
  • Pipe of Insight, Eternal Shroud and Glimmer Cape will greatly weaken damage from Lucent Beam and Eclipse.
  • Scythe of Vyse can slow down Luna and prevent her from both, using abilities and items. And Luna's only way to counter this is by buying Linken's Sphere.
  • Lotus Orb can reflect Lucent Beam back at Luna if she impulsively tries to use it on a hero affected by it.

Good against...[]

  • Although Anti-Mage can survive Luna's magical damage output with Counterspell, Luna's physical damage from Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing can be fair enough to deal with him.
  • Reckless use of Blink will allow Luna Eclipse can finish off Anti-Mage from early-to-mid stages of the game until Anti-Mage gets Manta Style, Aghanim's Scepter that will give him access to Blink Fragment and Aghanim's Shard which will allow Counterspell to weaken enemy spell damage.
  • However, Luna needs to finish the match as quickly as possible, because Anti-Mage is a hero who has a big advantage in longer matches once he farms items he needs for teamfights.
  • Luna's Moon Glaives allow her to clear Arc Warden's Tempest Double.
  • Luna's short range and fast movement speed allow her to fight Arc Warden inside his Magnetic Field.
  • Though Bane's Enfeeble can weaken Luna's physical damage output, it still does not weaken her magical damage output (although it can still disable her cast range).
  • Without Black King Bar, Luna's Lucent Beam and 0.25 Eclipse Mini-stun talent for Eclipse can be used to disable Bane while he is channeling Fiend's Grip.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse combined with 0.25 Eclipse Mini-stun can repetively stun Bane, and can even discourage him from even trying to use Fiend's Grip.
  • Smart and skilled Luna can buy Abyssal Blade to cancel Fiend's Grip even through Black King Bar in case of emergency. Forcing Bane to buy Linken's Sphere.
  • Even though Luna is the kind of hero that Bounty Hunter can handle due to Shadow Walk rendering him safe from Eclipse, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance, allowing her to provide vision on him to her team, and possibly, kill Bounty Hunter with Eclipse.
  • Luna's Moon Glaives will not trigger Retaliate if they hit some other target first. Also Luna commonly buys items that provide lifesteal such as Satanic, which lets her heal from the damage of Retaliate, meaning that Retaliate has limited effect against her.
  • Eclipse can be used to counter-initiate against Centaur Warrunner after he jumps in with Blink Dagger, and initiates with Hoof Stomp. But remember that Centaur Warrunner can resolve this problem by buying Hood of Defiance and it's upgrade Pipe of Insight to diminish its damage. Or Blade Mail to reflect the damage of the Eclipse back at Luna.
  • Luna also commonly buys Black King Bar, which will allow her to protect herself from both, Centaur Warrunner's abilities (except for the Retaliate), and damage reflect from Blade Mail.
  • Though Enchantress's Untouchable can greatly reduce Luna's attack speed, and can go through any form of Spell Immunity, she has a pitiful HP so Lucent Beam and Eclipse can kill her very quickly.
  • Moon Glaives allows Luna to clear Enchantress's creeps very efficiently.
  • Lucent Beam can be used to harass Muerta in lane.
  • Luna's high movement speed can make it difficult for Muerta to hit her with Dead Shot and keep her trapped in The Calling.
  • Pierce the Veil will not save Muerta from Luna at all. Instead, it will sentence her to death as it will amplify the magical damage from both, Lucent Beam and Eclipse, potentially turning Muerta's most powerful ability against her. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can also be used to counter-initiate against Muerta.
  • Luna can use Aghanim's Shard upgraded Moon Glaives to reduce all the damage Muerta inflicts on Luna while also damaging Muerta if she is too close to Luna. Bear in mind, however, Aghanim's Shard upgraded Moon Glaives cannot damage Muerta while she is under effects of Pierce the Veil.
  • As Luna naturally buys Black King Bar, she will be able to defend herself from Muerta's abilities. Luna can also buy Revenant's Brooch to attack Muerta even through Pierce the Veil.
  • Overall, most of the attempts for Muerta to gank and kill Luna will hurt Muerta more than Luna.
  • Even though Luna has a hard time laning against Necrophos, his Ghost Shroud won’t protect him in teamfights because it will increase the damage from Lucent Beam and Eclipse.
  • Luna is a natural Black King Bar wielder, and none of Necrophos's spells can bypass spell immunity outside of Heartstopper Aura.
  • Even though Nyx Assassin can easily kill Luna with his high burst damage, Luna can also do the same to him if he is not careful.
  • Lucent Beam can deal a fair amount of damage to Nyx Assassin if he has no Spiked Carapace available to use. Although Luna should be patient using Lucent Beam on Nyx Assassin when he uses Spiked Carapace.
  • As Luna commonly buys Black King Bar, she can use it to freely attack Nyx Assassin whenever he tries to defend himself with Spiked Carapace during teamfights. Luna can also buy Eye of Skadi and Manta Style to survive Nyx Assassin's burst damage and distract him.
  • Though Vendetta can deal serious damage to Luna and avoid Eclipse, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Nyx Assassin to her and her team.
  • Luna can deal constant damage to Pugna through the low-cooldown Lucent Beam and her right clicks.
  • Life Drain will be always canceled by Lucent Beam if Pugna does not have Black King Bar.
  • Decrepify can be suicide against Luna due to Lucent Beam and Eclipse.
  • Nether Ward is rather weak against Luna because unlike other heroes who rely on magical damage to damage or kill enemies, yet their ablities have very high mana costs, Luna does not have abilities that cost a lot of mana and Luna mostly uses her abilities to initiate a teamfight or to finish off fleeing enemy heroes.
  • Luna is a common Black King Bar carrier, which allows her to protect herself against Pugna's only-magical damage output.
  • Aggressively blinking is not going to end well against Luna, because Queen of Pain will be an easy target for Lucent Beam & Eclipse.
  • Queen of Pain's HP is abysmal, so Luna can quickly kill Queen of Pain as soon as she initiates with Blink.
  • Luna can push very fast with Moon Glaives, which is something Riki cannot deal with well.
  • Luna is naturally very fast, making it hard for Riki to trap her in Smoke Cloud.
  • Even though Riki can evade Eclipse with his invisibility, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance, providing vision on Riki to her allies and herself.
  • Lucent Beam and Eclipse with ministun talent can be used to cancel Requiem of Souls if Shadow Fiend does not have Black King Bar. Likewise, since Shadow Fiend is prone to buying Blink Dagger, an ill-timed Blink Dagger can give Luna a free chance to counter-initiate with Eclipse.
  • Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing allow Luna to outfarm Shadow Fiend in lane and the high physical damage output they provide her can also help her deal with Shadow Fiend even when he buys Black King Bar in late game.
  • A well timed Eclipse will burst and kill Shadow Fiend before he even either initiates or gets a chance to retaliate, especially when equipped with Aghanim's Scepter and Ethereal Blade, this could become even worse for Shadow Fiend if he does not have Black King Bar. But bear in mind however, that smart and skilled Shadow Fiend can buy Wind Waker to counter this issue.
  • Even though Shadow Fiend can evade all of Luna's abilities with Shadow Blade, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Shadow Fiend to her and her team.
  • If Luna chooses to use Eclipse in anticipation right before Spirit Breaker gets to her with Charge of Darkness, she will be able to kill Spirit Breaker before he will be able to kill her as Spirit Breaker's attack speed is rather low.
  • Meanwhile, when Spirit Breaker is focusing on any of Luna's allies with Charge of Darkness, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be used to counter-initate against Spirit Breaker.
  • Aghanim's Shard upgraded Moon Glaives allows Luna to reduce damage from Greater Bash and Nether Strike inflicts on her, and damage Spirit Breaker whenever he is close to her, even while he is invisible.
  • Lucent Beam can be used to cancel Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness under the condition that Luna is able to cast it on time. Lucent Beam can also be used to cancel Nether Strike. But bear in mind, however, that Spirit Breaker can counter this with Planar Pocket from Aghanim's Shard which can be used to reflect Lucent Beam back at Luna.
  • If Luna buys Linken's Sphere, it will become nearly impossible for Spirit Breaker to reach Luna unless some of Spirit Breaker's allies can pop it and put it on a cooldown.
  • Even though Spirit Breaker can evade all of Luna's abilities with Shadow Blade, smart Luna will always buy Dust of Appearance to provide vision on Spirit Breaker to her and her team. Luna can also buy Gleipnir to counter Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness and Shadow Blade combo.
  • If carefully timed, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse combined with 0.2s Eclipse Lucent Ministun talent can quickly finish off Terrorblade before he can get a chance to save himself with Sunder due to its high magical damage as long as Terrorblade has no Black King Bar.
  • Moon Glaives allows Luna to clear Terrorblade's illusions from both, Conjure Image and Manta Style, this can be particularly advantegous for Luna if she has Manta Style. Just bear in mind, however, that Reflection can be used to turn Moon Glaives against Luna during laning phase.
  • Luna very often builds Satanic and Black King Bar, which allows it either to protect herself from Sunder or nullify it's effects.
  • Luna can also buy Monkey King Bar to help her deal with Terrorblade's high armor, which is a common item on Luna.
  • Luna often builds Black King Bar, and none of Tidehunter's spells can bypass spell immunity.
  • Though Anchor Smash can weaken Luna's physical damage, it does not weaken her magical damage, which means that Lucent Beam and Eclipse deal a lot of magic damage in the early and mid-game, which can bypass Tidehunter's Kraken Shell.
  • Even though Luna has a hard time laning against Tinker because of Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Heat-Seeking Missile". and Laser, she can win against him in late game once she buys Black King Bar, as none of Tinker's spells can bypass spell immunity.
  • Lucent Beam and 0.25 Eclipse Lucent Mini-stun talent for Eclipse can be used to cancel Rearm and prevent Tinker's escape attempts with Boots of Travel. Luna can also use Lucent Beam and Eclipse if she is blinded with Laser.
  • An ill-timed and ill-positioned Blink Dagger will make Tinker a very easy target for Luna's Eclipse that can quickly tear him to shreds. This can get even better if Luna buys Aghanim's Scepter and combines it with 0.25 Eclipse Lucent Mini-stun talent for Eclipse.
  • However, Luna needs to approach Tinker carefully, as Tinker is a natural Scythe of Vyse wielder, and if he gets a jump on Luna first, he will be able to use it to disable and burst down Luna before she can use Black King Bar, Lucent Beam or Eclipse.
  • Lunar Blessing gives allies bonus damage and armor required to endure against Atrophy Aura early on.
  • Eclipse can be devastating for Underlord's team when they're grouped up for Fiend's Gate, it can also be used to intercept arrivals with Fiend's Gate. And Pit of Malice does not prevent Luna to use it.
  • To make things even better, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can finish off Underlord or any of his teammates escape attempts with Fiend's Gate if timed correctly.
  • Luna's Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing can help her destroy Tombstone easily, and this becomes more effective if Luna is equipped with Manta Style.
  • Spell Immunity of Zombies from Tombstone is a total disadvantage against Luna because Eclipse will strike only Undying, which can turn Undying's own ability against him.
  • Though Undying often builds Blade Mail which can turn Luna's burst damage against her, Luna often builds Black King Bar which will allow her to attack Undying freely because Blade Mail cannot pierce spell immunity.
  • Even though Luna has a hard time laning against Viper due to Nethertoxin being able to disable Moon Glaives and Lunar Blessing, Luna can take out Viper once she builds either Black King Bar or Silver Edge which will allow her to attack Viper freely.
  • Eclipse can often finish off Viper from early-to-mid stages of the game before he can retaliate as Corrosive Skin gives little magic resistance to him early on.
  • Manta Style is an item that Luna commonly buys in most of the games, which lets her disjoint Viper Strike. Additionally, illusions from Manta Style can make Viper waste time attacking them.
  • Moon Glaives is very effective against Visage because not only it can easily destroy Visage's Familiars, but can also remove one instance of Gravekeeper's Cloak upon each hit to Visage, leaving him susceptible to damage.
  • Once Visage's Familiars are picked off and all instances of Gravekeeper's Cloak are removed, Luna will be able to easily kill Visage with Eclipse.
  • Cold Embrace is no salvation against Lucent Beam and Eclipse.
  • Moon Glaives will not hit a hero affected by Winter's Curse, making it weak against allies, but strong versus enemies.
  • Luna has better night vision provided by Lunar Blessing than Winter Wyvern when affected by Arctic Burn.
  • Even though Wraith King can easily get a chance to retaliate with Reincarnation after Luna uses Eclipse against him, smart Luna can also turn Reincarnation against him by using Eclipse right after Reincarnation triggers and gets on cooldown, giving Luna an element of surprise she can use against Wraith King.
  • Moon Glaives can be used to clear the waves of Wraith King's skeleton warriors summoned from Vampiric Spirit.

Others[]

Items[]

  • Even though Black King Bar and other forms of Spell Immunity will block Luna's magical damage output, they will not block Luna's high physical damage, since Luna often goes for items that give her bonus attack damage and attack speed.
  • Many carries have a hard time against heroes that buy Ghost Scepter and Ethereal Blade because most of them rely on dealing huge amounts of physical damage in order to be effective. However, items and abilities that turn the user ethereal are useless against Luna because even though they will prevent her from attacking them, she can still use Lucent Beam and Eclipse's magical damage to inflict damage to them. Additionally, Eclipse and Lucent Beam will deal enormous damage, especially when Luna farms Aghanim's Scepter and Aghanim's Shard, and she often uses her magical damage in order to kill heroes, which means that Luna is one of the heroes who does not need Nullifier in order to attack enemy heroes that turn themselves ethereal. Luna can also buy Revenant's Brooch to attack ethereal units and amplify the magical damage they will take from Lucent Beam and Eclipse
  • Illusions created from Manta Style are normally fragile, and Luna will easily destroy them. One should avoid building Manta Style against Luna unless one has natural illusions ( Mirror Image etc) or illusion-related abilities (e.g. Mana Break).
  • Luna can put Linken's Sphere on cooldown using Lucent Beam, although it would be wise to take -4s talent for Lucent Beam for popping Linken's Sphere.
  • Luna's Eclipse is useful for intercepting heroes who teleport with Town Portal Scroll and/or Boots of Travel. She can also use Lucent Beam to prevent the escape attempts with it.
  • Even though Blink Dagger can be used to jump on Luna and take her out before she can do anything, an ill-positioned and ill-timed Blink Dagger will render it's owner an easy target for Luna to intercept with Eclipse.

Works well with...[]

  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Abaddon before and after he uses Borrowed Time.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Alchemist bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase, which is necessary for him due to his low damage output in the early game.
  • Despite its short duration, Lucent Beam's stun is useful to help Alchemist land a Unstable Concoction on a fleeing enemy hero with minimal risk.
  • Corrosive Weaponry will increase Lucent Beam's stun duration and help Luna and Alchemist to keep the fleeing enemies in their range.
  • Alchemist can cast Berserk Potion (requires Alchemist to buy Aghanim's Shard) on Luna, to give her benefits of Chemical Rage by applying a basic dispel on her and giving her attack speed, movement speed and health regeneration on her.
  • Alchemist can farm Aghanim's Scepter and grant it to Luna so that she doesn't have to.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Anti-Mage bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase while Mana Break can burn mana from enemy heroes, preventing them in retaliating against Luna and Anti-Mage during ganks.
  • Lucent Beam can be used to put Linken's Sphere on cooldown and allow Anti-Mage to freely use Mana Void on a hero who tries to protect himself/herself with Linken's Sphere.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Anti-Mage before and after he initiates with Blink, which when combined with Counterspell can almost completely discourage enemies from even trying to fightback against Anti-Mage and Luna.
  • Both, Luna and Anti-Mage are common wielders of Manta Style, which allows them to push waves of creeps, summons, illusions and take down towers very quickly.
  • Lucent Beam can be used to put Linken's Sphere on cooldown and allow Bane to freely use his abilities on a hero who tries to protect himself/herself with Linken's Sphere.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Bane bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Enfeeble weakens the enemy hero's attack damage, healing and cast range, giving Luna easier time laning against them during the laning phase.
  • A well-timed Nightmare can be a good setup for Eclipse.
  • Fiend's Grip can help Luna finish off fleeing enemy heroes with Eclipse.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Bounty Hunter bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Track gives Luna true sight over the affected enemy hero and bonus movement speed, which allows her to finish them off with Eclipse while also giving her bonus gold if the enemy hero affected by Track is killed.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Bounty Hunter before and after he initiates with Shadow Walk. Likewise Aghanim's Shard upgraded Shadow Walk allows him to cast it on Luna to help her either escape from enemy heroes or to prepare a nasty surprise to the unsuspsecting enemy heroes.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Dawnbreaker bonus attack damage to help her farm during the laning phase.
  • Luminosity can heal Luna if she is on low HP and if Dawnbreaker can successfully land a hit that will trigger it.
  • Eclipse can be used as a good follow-up to Dawnbreaker's initiations with Solar Guardian.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Dawnbreaker before and after she initiates with Solar Guardian.

  • Moon Glaives and Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Marksmanship can easily clear the waves of creeps, summons and illusions.
  • Gust prevents enemy heroes from using their abilities on both, Drow Ranger and Luna, and allow Luna to use Eclipse on them with minimal risk.
  • Luna's Moon Glaives combined with Lunar Blessing can help Enigma and his Eidolons push against waves of creeps and destroy towers quickly.
  • Eclipse combined with Black Hole can quickly finish off enemy heroes before they get a chance to retailiate. This can become even better once Luna buys Aghanim's Scepter that will significantly upgrade Eclipse's damage output, cast range and cause the beams from Eclipse to appear twice as fast.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Gyrocopter bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Moon Glaives combined with Flak Cannon can make a short work out of enemy creeps, summons and illusions.
  • Eclipse can be used as a good follow-up to Gyrocopter's initiations with Call Down.
  • Despite its short duration, Lucent Beam's stun is useful to help Hoodwink hit the enemy hero with her Sharpshooter.
  • Hoodwink's Bushwhack is a very good setup for Luna's Eclipse.
  • Since Hoodwink often buys Gleipnir, she can use it to root multiple enemy heroes at once, and help Luna to finish the fleeing enemy heroes faster with Eclipse.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Hoodwink bonus attack damage to help her farm during the laning phase.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Hoodwink before and after she initiates with Scurry and Bushwhack.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Huskar bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Eclipse can be used as a good follow-up to Huskar's initiations with Life Break.
  • Chakra Magic can sustain Luna's mana pool and give her unexpectedly very low cooldown (up to 0 seconds) nuke, especially in early game. Heal from Illuminate is very useful as well.
  • Solar Bind can amplify the damage of the Lucent Beam and Eclipse while slowing the enemy hero more he/she moves while affected by it.
  • Will-O-Wisp (requires Keeper of the Light to buy Aghanim's Scepter) can be a very good setup for setup for Luna's Eclipse.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Necrophos bonus attack damage to help her farm during the laning phase.
  • Death Pulse helps Luna hold her own on lane during the laning phase.
  • Even though Death Seeker (requires Necrophos to buy Aghanim's Shard) can prevent Luna from attacking enemy heroes with her Moon Glaives and direct attacks, it can greatly amplify damage of Lucent Beam and Eclipse. Death Seeker can also be used on Luna to help her escape from heroes who rely on physical damage. However, it is not advised to use Death Seeker for defense against heroes who rely on magical damage.
  • Purification combined with Heavenly Grace can save Luna from certain death in most of the situations.
  • Guardian Angel will allow Luna to freely initiate with Eclipse while giving her protection against enemy attacks and all other ablities that deal physical damage.
  • Even though Oracle's Fate's Edict can prevent Luna from attacking enemy heroes with her Moon Glaives, it can give her 100% spell immunity, which may potentially save her from bad engagements.
  • Oracle's Fortune's End allows him to dispel Luna from negative effects, or to dispel and root enemies, making them easier target for Eclipse.
  • False Promise combined with Purifying Flames can often save Luna from a certain death.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Phoenix bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Eclipse can be casted on Phoenix before and after he initiates with Icarus Dive or when he uses Supernova to restore himself. Likewise, Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Supernova can be casted on Luna to restore both, Luna and Phoenix back to full health and mana.
  • Sun Ray can heal Luna and help her hold her own on lane while dealing damage to enemies.
  • Despite its short duration, Lucent Beam's stun is useful to help Pudge hook an enemy hero with Meat Hook. Likewise, Meat Hook can also be used to save Luna from bad engagements.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Pudge bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Dismember can help Luna finish off fleeing enemy heroes with Eclipse. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Dismember can also be used to save Luna and help her recover her health.
  • Even though Pugna's Decrepify can prevent Luna from attacking enemy heroes with her Moon Glaives and direct attacks, it can greatly amplify damage of Lucent Beam and Eclipse. Decrepify can also be used on Luna to help her escape from heroes who rely on physical damage. However, it is not advised to use Decrepify for defense against heroes who rely on magical damage.
  • Lunar Blessing can give Pugna bonus attack damage to help him farm during the laning phase.
  • Despite its short duration, Lucent Beam's stun is useful to help Pugna finish off fleeing enemy heroes with Life Drain.
