We farm fast. Guide to the Luna - one of the best carries in the game
Yuriy SheremetLuna is one of the best carries at low MMR. Without artifacts, like any carry, the hero is very weak, but the speed of the farm completely covers this minus. Luna is able to out-farm the entire enemy team, even if it is in the hands of a less experienced player.

- Very fast farming
- Excellent pusher
- Strong in mid and late game
- Good stat gain
- Easy to learn
- Sees night as day
Cons of the hero
- Very little HP at the beginning of the game
- Weak without artifacts
- An overtly weak and vulnerable character at the beginning of the game
- Suffers from disables and focus
Capabilities
Lucent beam
Shoots a beam of lunar energy at an enemy, dealing damage and briefly stunning them.
When buying an Aganim Shard:
LUCENT BEAM allows you to cast an ability on a point to hit an enemy in a 325 radius around it, and increases the duration of the stun to 1.2 seconds. Application gives + 30% to movement speed for 3 sec.
Luna glaives
Conjures the hero's glaives, allowing them to bounce on multiple enemies. Each next bounce deals less damage. (Bounces: 3/4/5/6;
Damage reduction per bounce: 52%/46%/40%/34%)
Lunar blessing
Increases the attack damage of the owner of the ability and player-owned ranged units nearby. Also provides improved night vision.
+ Increases the hero's night vision to 800.5.
Eclipse
Hits random enemies nearby with beams from the current level of Lucent Beam. The beams do not stun and can hit one creature a limited number of times. Also the ability for 10 sec. turns day into night.
The beams deal damage in accordance with the current level, if the ability is not learned, Eclipse will not deal damage.
Aghanim Upgrade: Allows you to cast the ability on an area or any allied creature so that it acts around it. Increases the number of beams and the duration of the ability, removes the limitation on the number of procs per creature, and halves the interval between hits.
More and more players are choosing skill build without swinging the first ability. This is done due to the fact that sooner or later we will go into the forest, and a high level of passives significantly speeds up our farming.
Items
It is worth taking more hill on the lane. Luna is a very skinny hero and even normal jabs will be very unpleasant. The main item for fast farming is the MASK of MADNESS.
If there are no snowballing heroes in the enemy team, against whom you need to buy mantu as soon as possible (storm, quop, etc.), then we are going through Dragon Lance + Yasha, with the subsequent exit to manta. We will collect BKB in every game, our hero is very vulnerable to focus.
Aganim Shard is also a mandatory attribute of our build, which should not be forgotten.
Items by situation:
SATANIC - Disassemble the IOM and collect Satanic. Satanic will give you hp, damage and lifesteal.
BUTTERFLY - If the enemy team has more physical damage dealers, then this item must be bought.
EYE of SKADI - Your attack speed plus a wild slow is something! Also get a lot of stats in the bargain, which will further increase your survivability.
Luna SHARD - It may not be worth buying in the slot, but eating the seventh slot is mandatory.
Our average build looks something like this. Daedalus is combined with Aganim Shard.

Gameplay
On laning we need to focus on finishing off creeps to get a good start. With a passive for damage at level 1, finishing off creeps will be noticeably easier.
If you have a mask for otzhor and Fri, then with a pumped passive you can already go into the forest. You have to farm a lot, and if you sit in the tavern or constantly go to the fountain, you will be knocked out of timings.
In midgame we continue to farm, with the help of manta we can push lanes remotely. It is worth actively connecting to the game after purchasing the bkb.
In a fight, our task will be to press BKB + Ult + Manta in time. By re-farming in a 5v5 fight, our team will have a big advantage.
After demolishing all the outer towers, you can occupy the enemy forest and continue to farm the remaining items.
In the late game, our hero is still strong, you need to pick up the slots necessary for the situation and go to finish the game.
Counter peaks
There are a lot of counter peaks of the Luna. Any hero with a large attack range, disable, or strong magical procs will be very dangerous.
- Specter. The main problem for Luna is that Spectra returns damage taken. Those. you will be beaten not only by the Spectra and its illusions, but also by yourself. It is also not so easy to escape from her.
- Bristleback. Very fat, would rather die from thorns than kill him. If you start running away from him, then one snot will be enough to go to the tavern.
- Slark. After Slark has Lothar - Luna is not a tenant. You have too little HP not to die after his initiation. If you squeeze out the ult or someone helps you, he will just go to Shadow Dance. Believe me, his next attack will be much earlier than your ultimate rolls back.
- Phantom Lancer. From this character, you will crumble like a creep. It will be the same with other dense illusionists.
Best allies
Luna looks good in combination of heroes with auras, along with which it is easy to go to push and take the initial advantage by demolishing towers.
You can also come up with links with aghanim, thanks to such heroes as Spectra, Clockwork, etc.
Conclusion
Luna is one of the few active farming heroes who collects gold from the map pretty quickly. Plus, she doesn't need a lot of items to come into play. The ability to push towers is another advantage of this hero, a fight won in the late fight can end with a quick defeat for the enemies. The hero cannot be classified as a difficult character, so even a player with a low MMR can play him
