Find Tips To Counter Luna ?

Dispel her buffs: Items like Manta Style or Linken’s Sphere can remove her buffs and prevent her from increasing her damage output.

Build magic resistance: Luna’s Lucent Beam and her ultimate deal magic damage – items like Hood of Defiance or Pipe can mitigate this.

Kite her: Luna is vulnerable to ranged kiting – heroes like Sniper or Viper can keep her at a distance.

Prevent her from farming: Luna is very farm-dependent – aggressively gank her to limit her farm early on.

Pick burst heroes: Heroes with strong burst damage like Lina or Lion can take her out before she becomes a threat in teamfights.

Pick high-armor heroes: Luna’s physical damage output is substantial – heroes like Bristleback or Underlord can absorb her attacks.

Silence her: Silencing Luna (e.g., Silencer, Orchid) prevents her from using her ultimate (Moon Glaive) and other abilities.
