Luna Moonfang The Moon Rider Guide, Walkthrough, Item Build and Skill Build.

Luna Moonfang

Luna Moonfang is a stalwart and devout follower of the Moon Goddess, Elune. She fights alongside the Sentinel in the neverending battle to cleanse the land of the unholy Scourge. Through her valiant efforts, she has been granted small portions of Elune's mystical power. Luna uses this gift to cut a swath through her enemies. It has been said that Luna is able to call down the very light of the moon, and is always surrounded by a glowing aura, as though in moonlight herself. Luna is a shining beacon for the Sentinel, an ever vigilant protector.

After Lucent Beam did not effect Eclipse damage, looks like everybody leave this skill when build battle Luna.

Moon Glaives

Level 2 - Luna hits 3 enemies with every attack.
Level 3 - Luna hits 4 enemies with every attack.
Level 4 - Luna hits 5 enemies with every attack.

A great skill, but for harassing melee hero while last hitting. Great skill for farming as Luna launches painful bouncing glaives, also work well for team battle.

Level 2 - Increases base ranged damage by 13%.
Level 3 - Increases base ranged damage by 20%.
Level 4 - Increases base ranged damage by 27%.

Mana Cost: N/A
Cooldown: N/A

Great skill and synergize with glaives. Also helping your team, especially when you got teammates like Viper or Traxec.

Eclipse




Calls to the moon's magic, summoning a concentrated burst of level 4 Lucent Beams(no matter whether what your lucent beam level is) to damage targets within 450 AoE around Luna.
If Luna dies while casting Eclipse, Lucent Beams will still be produced at the area where she dies.

Level 1 - Summons 4 Lucent Beams.
Level 2 - Summons 7 Lucent Beams.
Level 3 - Summons 10 Lucent Beams.

Mana Cost: 250/ 350/ 450
Cooldown: 140/ 120/ 100

This skill makes people fear to meet you one-by-one. Almost result in a sure kill when it used to fight one hero alone. Watch for the creeps when use this skill because the damage will be shared.

Skill Build

1. Stats/ Lucent Beam
2. Lunar Blessing/Moon Glaives
3. Stats
4. Lunar Blessing
5. Lunar Blessing
6. Eclipse
7. Lunar Blessing
8. Moon Glaives
9. Moon Glaives
10. Moon Glaives/Lunar Blessing
11. Eclipse
12. Moon Glaives
13-15. Stats
16. Eclipse
17-21. Stats
22. Lucent Beam/Stats
23-25. Lucent Beam

This build is designed to build battle Luna. Go for Stats and Lunar Blessing in early games. Those will makes you easily to get last hit while stats help your survivability. Take 1 level of Lucent Beam for the mini-stun if you're facing channeling heroes on your lane. Lucent Beam is maxed at your last levels because it doesn't give you lane control. If you max it first, Luna will lose it's effectiveness during mid and late game.

Moon Glaives is taken after Lunar Blessing, because Lunar Blessing gives you more damage for last hitting. Take
Moon Glaives early when you are facing melee hero for harassing while killing creeps or denying. Moon Glaives don’t give you lane controlling abilities, it just help you pushing and farming. A bit of Stats are gotten early as they’re still much better than Moon Glaives, and they give you a bit of everything you need.

Moon Glaives are gotten as soon as you maxed out Lunar Blessing, as you probably have enough overall damage to deal significant damage with your Bouncing Glaives. But if you're gonna for neutral creeps, take
Moon Glaives immediately as it will really help you kill neutrals faster. Eclipse is maxed out whenever you can, as it deals superb damage and you can kill any lone enemy you pass by, and it deals great damage in a teamfight.

Item Build

1. 2 Set of Tangos + Circlet of Nobility
2. Finish 1-2 Wraithbands
3.
Boots of Speed
4. Helm of Ironwill
5. Mask of Death (Helm of Dominator)
6. Finish Power Treads
7. Black King Bar (optional)
8.
Butterfly
9. Finish Satanic

Your items should be like this:



Optional



Get tangoes and some stats from circlets, tangoes is better than Ring of Regeneration since you will get Dominator. Wraithbands is better than bracers because you need fast damage boost for farming. Helm of the Dominator is probably better than any other item for Luna, as it gives Luna more capability to survive while farming. The leech helps Luna on jungling and the dominate ability will get you a Centaur/Furbols. Use them to stomp then Eclipse to get kills.

Black King Bar is an optional items. When you are facing so much nuker, it's advisable you buy this thing before Butterfly. If you're going extraordinary farming or your enemies are all DPS hero, rushing Butterfly will gives you better result. It gives you everything, damage, attack speed and especially the evasion.

Upgrade your shoes into Power Treads to boost attack speed After get some damage items, finish the Satanic. With the additional hp given and the additional lifesteal boost, you’re sure to survive much longer against enemy heroes, and Satanic’s active lifeleech gives you additional damage, plus the lifeleech, which gives you a lifesteal even on the bouncing glaives.

Strategy

Luna like the other agility heroes, is fragile early games. Your attack range is very short for a range hero. Try to get last hit and farming immediately. Don't bother for harassing, you will get a kill when you got your ulti's. When you get a Dominator, it's time for jungling since Luna skills makes jungling very easy.
You can go live in the forest and gain a lot of money in a short time. There’s no problem when you encounter any enemy hero, considering you can survive whatever they can take and that you can kill them with Eclipse and a few more hits.

Keep farming and farming. Luna is an exceptional farmer and you must maximize it's potential to rush your items. Only do ganking when they are close to your jungling position. If you are ganking too far, it means you’ll lose a lot of time farming and will delay your items. The most efficient way to kill heroes is to surprise eclipse them, offensively in a lane. When getting caught in a forest, you will turn out to be some sort of Anti-Gank, so it means you can kill them when you're getting harmed, just make sure they won't survive. If you're short of HP, don't bother and leech some creeps.

When it's times for team battles, the most important things is watch for enemies creeps. Don't waste your ulti's on creeps. Tell your teams to clear the creeps first. Raigor and QoP
ulti's are great way to clear the creeps. After the creeps clear, jump in and start Eclipse. They’ll receive a massive amount of damage, and all you have to do next is to attack them. Activate Unholy Rage if you have Satanic, start hitting the weakest hero and leech at the same time. Your Glaives will hurt a lots of hero and hopefully can bring you a 1-3 kill.

  2. after the major change in 6.50b should the skill built and the item built to be changed? im having a school competiton and i will like to no the best 5 combination for 5v5 and can you please tell me a caracter that i can use in version 6.50. its alright if you does not felt like aswering me but i will appeciate it if you do. i learn a lot from this website, thank you very much. by the way i went into the competition just for fun cause i m a noobie :) hehe

    ReplyDelete
  3. @noobie
    Yeah, i know. But maybe it will take some times to give the update. After all, i have a feeling that the next map will give a lot of balance. About best 5 combination, i think that's depends on your own team. But i have seen one of MYM great combination, that's Rexxar, Furion, QoP, Zeuz and Raigor. But there's a lot more combination out there. Don't afraid to experiment :)

    ReplyDelete
  4. maybe i will have version 6.44 or maybe 6.49 in the competition, my team is all noob and we were given only 1 hour to win the enemy. hence, i had dedcided to have pushing hero and hero that can destroy tower as 1 tower destroy will get some point. i have decided to use sandking which can solo tower, furion which can summon creeps, raska which can ulti the tower and viper which my friend request to use it. the another one i had not decide yet so can you give me an idea if you think the combination i mention can make it. also should there be some changes in the skill and item built if we were only playing it for 1 hour? oh ya what about tiny? can solo tower. anyway i was a noob and i dont really think it will work -.- by the way can you tell me what to buy for raska?

    ReplyDelete
  5. can i know about skeleton king?
    on the items startegies and all the stuff?
    thx...
    i appreciate it very much

    ReplyDelete
  6. @noobie
    i suppose the game is allpick then? cos u have furion and sand king/viper.

    My suggestion would be sand king and furion on 1 lane (perhaps top lane) cos their combo is deadly. Sand king stun, and ulti immediately while furion sprout the enemy and SK, thats a guaranteed kill as long as the enemy doesnt have blink or stun to cancel epicenter cast.

    Viper should be alone at mid, cos hes an amazing carry hero. dont let viper die at any cost. viper shouldnt go for kill if its not guaranteed kill. just hang back and farm farm farm radiance, butterfly, etc.. u will win with a good carry even if he didnt kill any1 early.

    bottom lane i suggest u have a tanker (tree is good) and another late game hero.. luna is always good for noobies or u can go silencer for a more imba team.

    so there u have a team with 2 disable, 1 semi disable, 1 slow, and 1 silence

    as for tiny, there are a few way to play him.. caster/tanker.. just look out for his guide.

  7. i dont think the ulti f luna moonfangworks the way you thought, try it...

  8. @above - maybe you should read my earlier comment. I haven't update this build since the major change on 6.50, so this build is currently outdated. I hope i can update it soon :D

  9. One thing with luna u havnt really mentioned,

    luna vs any stun or nuke early game = DEAD

    luna rivals nevermore for early game easy die-ablity. im a decient techies user and i jump for joy when some1 picks luna. when u update this guild maby instead of making wraith's recomend bracers because they have agi bonus but early game str is more important because no matter how imbal luna is late game if u've been repeadly killed early game u'll b aboslutly usless late game and will feed the entire time.

    and if u wanna no anything bout most chars msg me at edumication@hotmail.com

    im always willing to help ppl

    (also im suicide_cult on GGC if u cant reach me in email and ill help u out there).

    ReplyDelete
  10. errr the guide is gud but usually guides are supposed to tell us what we don't know !!! and ur guide pretty much doesn't do that !! and i would like to add another imba item to u build (lothar's edge). the best item for luna !! ulti + ww = gg !! gud luck !

    ReplyDelete
  11. strongly agree with lothar...
    tis make luna scary to others... sudden appear to ulti...
    and can use to run...

    ReplyDelete
  12. aghanim for god's sake!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. For a 5v5 battle,i think Troll,Slayer,Priestress of the Moon,OmniKnight,Earthshaker are the best.Moon goes solo ,Troll and Omni go bottom and Slayer,Earth go up.Omni and Troll make a good combi with the Repel+Rampage.Earth and Slayer have both stun skills so they can gank easily.At the end of the game when Troll has farmed enough, the victory is for sure.=)

    ReplyDelete
  14. doenst make sense, if the first 6 lvls i dont skill lucent beam, and at lvl 6 i suddenly skill eclipse ?!

    4.buriza
    5.butterfly
    6.heart/lothar

    no need to buy refresher with this build no one can hurt you

    ReplyDelete
  20. Taken from DOTAwiki:
    Glaives override both Feedback (Diffusal Blade, Manta Style) and Cold Attack (Eye of Skadi), and other orbs (Corruption, Maim, Chain Lightning) cause her attack to malfunction entirely, stripping her of her physical attack.
    Only, ONLY Lifesteal works. Agha is not useful, one more lucentbeam... greaaaaaat. @ the time you have agha farmed (which will be late, since YOU bought treads, I buy Bot for farming,) everyone will laugh at you and one more beam, which MAY hit.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I for one think that this build can be modified due to the altest version of 6.60. The skill build is as following:
    Level 1:Moon Glaive
    Level 2: Lucent beam
    Level 3: Moon Glaive:
    ' 4: Lucent Beam
    ' 5: Moon Glaive
    ' 6: Eclipse
    ' 7: Lucent Beam
    ' 8: Moon Glaive
    " 9: Lucent Beam
    ' 10: Moon Glaive
    ' 11: Eclipse
    ' 12: Stats
    ' 13: Stats
    ' 14: Stats
    ' 15: Stats
    ' 16: Eclipse
    ' 17: Lunar Blessing
    ' 18: Lunar Blessing
    ' 19: Lunar Blessing
    ' 20: Lunar Blessing
    ' 21: Stats
    ' 22: Stats
    ' 23: Stats
    ' 24: Stats
    ' 25: Stats

    This is my skill build because I think that At lower levels luna nnids more farming than killing. And when faced with an enemy i think she nids to harass it ASAP. The more a hero is harassed the more he/she spends time in the well. So now you can see that Luna now has an advantage on levels. Now on with the items.

    I think that dominator is good because of Life-Steal is a must because of the glaive. Then treads then leotars. Then butterfly. Then tarasque.

    Leotars is good when doing eclipse on a retreating hero. It can be used as an escape mechanism or as an assault/trap of some sort. Tarasque is needed later because of luna's low HP. There you go...I hope this helps.

  27. have you tried manta style on luna?

    ReplyDelete
  28. manta works great on luna try it u'll nid atleast 2 enemy heroes for fast kill.

    ReplyDelete
  29. After all the modifications... luna can now use manta (manta no longer has feedback and also gives a decent hp boost and also gives bonus move speed)

    Also, this hero is also taken up for mid lane. you start of with a flying courier. nothing else. After which you cautiously save up for bottle and have your crow get it for you. The skill build will require lucent beam to be max first. With this build, luna can easily send his opponent in the mid lane back home, and to add to that, the mid lane hero levels faster and gains gold quicker as he is solo. He is also able to dominate the runes...

    ITEM BUILD:
    BOTTLE
    DOMI
    BOOTS
    1 BRACER
    COMPLETE THREADS
    LOTHARS
    MANTA
    BUTTERFLY
    COMPLETE DOMI

    THE REMAINING SLOT IS UP TO THE USER DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION
    BOTTLE IS SOLD AT MID GAME

  43. kinantot ko si luna pero walang nangyare

  44. You cannot cast eclipse if you won't get lucent beam, and by the way, i am playing 6.70(december 2010 latest map) and if you want a killer luna, then all the items you need in early game is...

    1. ring of bacilius(mana regeneration)
    2. tango/salve

    next, the skills you need to consider in early game...

    level is based on numbers.
    1.lunar blessing
    2.moon glaives
    3.lucent beam
    4.lucent beam
    5.lucent beam
    6.eclipse

    now, for other items(in order)

    1. power threads
    2. helm of dominator
    3. yasha, ultimate orb, manta recipe(you can have this as early as possible because you can kill neutral creeps already since you already have a domi and power threads.)
    4. hyperstone, chain mail, the plate mail, cuirass
    5. butterfly
    6. whatever you want

    the game ends early that i cannot make the 5 and 6 items, and i own the game. by the way, it all depends on how you handle your hero, do not copy other player's hero guide because those are their guide, not yours. You will completely lose control of your hero if you do so. So just discover it for yourself. Happy gaming!!!
