SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Luna
Passive
Moonlight Dance
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
Luna dashes toward a new target with her first basic attack. Her third basic attack deals an additional 150 (+35% Magic Power) magic damage and marks the enemy, but it cannot mark structures. For every 1 point of Magic Power, Luna’s attack speed increases by 0.03%.
Tips: This is one of Luna’s main sources of AOE damage in team fights. More importantly, it marks enemies, allowing her to refresh her ultimate’s cooldown, making her combos more versatile.
Skill 01
Crescent Slice
Cooldown: 5s, Cost: 50
Luna swings a crescent-shaped light wave in the designated direction, dealing 350/430/510/590/670/750 (+51% Magic Power) magic damage to enemies hit and marking them.
Tips: The primary function of this skill is to mark enemies, refreshing the cooldown of her ultimate. It also has a decent casting range, making it excellent for harassing enemies in the lane.
Skill 02
Searing Stab
Cooldown: 8s, Cost: 50
Luna plunges her sword into the ground, pulling nearby enemies toward her, dealing 120/135/150/165/180/195 (+31% Magic Power) magic damage, and stunning them for 0.5 seconds. Luna also gains a shield that absorbs 400/470/540/610/680/750 (+80% Magic Power) damage and reduces the movement speed of nearby enemies by 50% for 2 seconds. Marked enemies are also pulled.
Tips: This skill allows Luna to control enemies within range, making it easier to secure kills with her team. During the stun duration, she can activate her passive for additional damage.
Ultimate
New Moon
Cooldown: 25/20/15s, Cost: 70
Luna charges in the designated direction, dealing 400/525/650 (+60% Magic Power) magic damage to enemies in her path. If she hits a marked enemy, the cooldown of New Moon is refreshed.
Tips: Luna’s ultimate is her most important skill. When combined with her first skill and passive, she can continuously use her ultimate during a team fight by effectively managing her marks.

Recommended Combo Order
Mark the enemy with the first skill, follow up with the third skill, use the second skill to mark the enemy again, and then use the third skill to deal damage.
Luna Best Partner
- Zhuang Zi: Luna is vulnerable to hard control heroes like Zhang Liang, Daji, and Dharma. Zhuang Zhou’s ultimate can provide Luna with a good environment to ensure at least one combo of skills. The slow effect of his first skill and the speed boost of his second can help Luna chase and escape better, while his ultimate’s immunity can increase Luna’s survivability.
- Sun Bin: Sun Bin’s first skill’s slow can help Luna chase enemies better, his second skill’s cooldown recovery can refresh Luna’s skill CD, allowing for quick recovery even if her ultimate is interrupted, and his ultimate’s silence can synergize with Luna’s engagement, preventing instant focus down by enemies.
Luna Counter
- Luna fears being controlled and killed instantly. Zhang Liang’s long-duration control can allow teammates to kill her.
- Zhong Kui can pull Luna back before a team fight and instantly kill her.
Usage Tips:
A perfect start for Luna involves storing a “Moonlight Dance” charge, using “Crescent Slash” then immediately following with “New Moon Assault” to clear the mark, using a normal attack right after the dash to apply a previously stored “Moonlight Dance” mark, and using “New Moon Assault” again. When the enemy tries to flee with half health, immediately use “Scorching Sword Flare” to pull the enemy back and continue with normal attacks and “New Moon Assault” to clear marks and apply “Moonlight Dance” marks again, finishing with continuous “New Moon Assault” for the kill.
Luna has little fighting capability before level 4, take advantage of this by ganking her early to delay her development; Save control skills for when Luna engages to instantly kill her.
Team Fight Strategy
Gameplay Techniques
Detail 1: Quickly reach level 4 to exploit advantages.
Detail 2: Mark enemies to refresh the third skill for output.
Luna’s output in team fights relies on using her ultimate. She can look for opportunities to dive into the enemy backline with skill combos for kills or find a chance to enter the fight directly using her second skill to control a group of enemies, creating a suitable output environment for teammates. Note that if she uses her ultimate to escape or if the ultimate’s refresh fails, Luna will face a skill cooldown period of over 20 seconds, so choose wisely.
