Abilities, roles and builds with an explanation for every purchase.
HERO GAME PLANI accelerate my farm, build physical damage, and use the window I win to take buildings.
Riding swiftly into battle, Luna tears into her enemies with attacks able to bounce between targets. When foes threaten, she calls down the power of the moon as a single searing beam or as a lunar barrage, crushing those who stand against her.
My recommendation is a starting point. We choose another position together with the team and for its needs.
I need protected farm, my item window and damage on important targets.
This is an editorial starting plan based on hero mechanics. It is not presented as a match I have already tested or a popularity ranking.
Here is my initial plan: I do my role's job first, then choose the items the team needs. I adapt the order and expensive purchases to the opponent.
Provide attack speed and switchable attributes for farming and managing my resources.
Speeds up attacks and farming, but needs a safe window: its active mode imposes restrictions on the hero.
Provides illusions for pressure and a separate dispel. This item cannot help you wait out or remove every disable.
Provides a window for my actions against eligible magical damage and disables. I check effects that pierce the protection.
Increases physical damage and protection against suitable attacks. I check whether the enemy has an answer to evasion.
Eye of Skadi ↗Improves attributes and lets attacks keep a target under control, limiting suitable sources of its restoration.
Satanic ↗Helps recover health through attacks during its active window; without access to a target, it is not a guaranteed save.
Hurricane Pike ↗Combines attack range with a tool for breaking a dangerous close-range engagement.
I do not assign one ‘correct’ minute to every purchase. I look at my gold, the next fight and the problem: am I missing mana, target access, control or protection? If an expensive slot will arrive too late, I get a useful answer earlier.

Hitting an enemy hero with Lucent Beam gives Luna bonus attack damage. Beams from Eclipse grant a portion of this bonus.

Increases damage reduction. The owner gains +20% movement speed while this ability is active.
Empowers Luna's glaives, causing her attacks to bounce between enemy units. Deals less damage with each bounce.
Showers random nearby enemies with strikes from Luna's current level of Lucent Beam. These beams do not stun their targets, and there is a maximum number of times that a single target can be struck. Also turns day into night for a short time.

Allows Luna to cast Eclipse on an allied unit or herself and have its effects follow them, or cast it on an area. Increases total beams, reduces duration, removes the limit on beams per unit, and makes the beams appear twice as fast.
These abilities are not necessarily available at the same time. I check the condition beside the name: innate ability, another form or an Aghanim purchase.
Grants attack damage to Luna and nearby allied heroes within 1200 range, with Luna receiving double the attack damage bonuses. At night, Lunar Blessing is global, and Luna is blessed with bonus night vision.
