Personally, I can never use Luna. Her range is short so she does get harrassed a bit early game and her health is just low enough that it might lead to first blood.


This is why you need a strong laner to accompany her. Lion, Lich, Ancient Apparition (maybe) and similar heroes are good laning partners that can provide kill opportunities and/or babysit her squishy *** in the early game.

You played a whole game almost without a single Observer Ward. I'm sorry for you but you're stuck in that potato tier where people pick 5 carries and still don't know that wards exist. I've been there not that long ago so I know what it's like. Against this there's only one way out : there's no way you can win without wards so buy wards yourself as Luna. Luna has no escape mechanism so her only escape is good warding.


So very much this. Carries I played more than once were either fat, or had an escape mechanism. When I got to Luna, I realized how much more important warding is for me than basically anyone in the team. The one who can help yourself is you.

200-400 gold on wards is miserable for what it gives you as a carry. In pubs nobody has to support you, and if someone at least buys courier and first-second set of wards(bonus point for team-oriented items), and doesn't screw up your lh, they did a great job for the pub tier we are currently in.

From my personal Luna experience:

Luna can farm jungle without much hp loss with Boots of Speed% Helm of the Dominator, or at least Power Treads and simple mask. This is quite farmable until minute 9-12. Then, if there is no action on your lane you are free to farm it and maybe get that tower. If something is cooking and you have a TP Scroll, and only if you know you will survive and take some frags, go for it. If somebody comes to your lane and there is no backup, better:
a)ward your jungle(cliff and runespot) and farm there
b)get Smoke of Deceit, ward enemy jungle(cliff and runespot) and farm there(with Tp of course)

Despite her ulti, I felt Luna has nothing to do in teamfights until BKB/Manta and lvl 11(especially minding her lvl 1 ulti is most effective against single target due), but she is mostly good 1 vs 1 and if you can catch an enemy carry farming in their jungle with b) variant you can get a kill, humiliate them(omg n00b killed in their own jungle), and get some farm before police(rest of the team) arrives.

So, generally:
1)Don't go into big teamfights until you get some defense(BKB or Manta and of course HotD)
2)Don't take part in any action unless you are sure you will survive and get a frag/assist
3)Farm-farm-farm, try to catch someone 1 vs 1 in jungle and rek them with Eclipse
4)Ward your jungle yourself, and only yourself so you use that wards as you want, their cost is funny for their benefits.
5)Once you got a big slot, go rek everybody and take as much towers as you can, then farm another slot, repeat x times.
6)U ШIИ.

This is all from my personal experience, good luck.

I know that feel, I always fail with Luna too .____. She's just so weak when not farmed :/

Btw you already added me on steam, so if sometimes you need a support I'm the right man for you XD

Yeah sure, can you link me to your steam? I tried searching for F.E.A.R but there seem to be a lot of people with similar names.

If you'd like to learn to play Luna better, I played earlier with a friend of mine and he plays her extremely well. He ended with almost 900gpm.

Edit: Also, you can add me if you'd like to play. I'm always willing to support. Sky is especially good with Luna as well.
