Heroes with a long-range type of attack in the Dota-2 game are quite common. People like to choose such characters, since in this case they do not have to come into direct contact with the enemy, as is the case with tanks that fight in close combat. However, everything has its pros and cons, therefore it cannot be said that being a hero with a long-range attack type is absolutely safe. No, you will also have to think a lot about how to organize your attack in order to cause as much damage as possible, but at the same time take as little damage yourself. There are heroes who can be quickly and easily mastered, but at the same time they will not give you the maximum result. But there are more difficult to master the character in the game "Dota-2" - the moon is among them. It’s not as easy to play as it might seem at first glance. But if you spend enough time mastering it, studying its abilities and developing tactical approaches, then you will get one of the most dangerous carry heroes in the game. It's time to take a closer look at this character of the Dota-2 game - the Moon deserves special attention on your part.
Roles
As you well know, there are various roles that a character can play in the Dota-2 game. The moon, as mentioned earlier, can act as a carry - if you defend it with the whole team and let it pump hard on the right path, the result will be a very powerful character that can decide the outcome of the battle in favor of your team. However, if the team also has another carry, to which you decided to give preference together, then the Moon will not stand aside. It can be used as a nuker or a pusher. If these names do not tell you anything, then it’s worth a little clarification. Nuker is that character who practically does not use auto-attack, since he has a set of skills that can be used in a competent sequence almost without stopping. As for the pusher, this is such a character who advances the line to the enemy’s base, quickly destroying towers and sweeping away enemy creeps from his path. Such heroes are needed in order to prevent the enemy carry from pumping up to the moment when he can greatly influence the gameplay. As a matter of fact, this character can play both of these roles just fine in the Dota-2 game. The moon, however, looks best, naturally, in the role of carry - and there are reasons for this.
Lucent beam
What will this guide to the moon describe to you? "Dota-2" is a game in which a lot depends on the character's skills, as well as on your ability to correctly use them. That is why the main attention will be paid to their consideration. The first and simplest skill at the moon allows her to create a beam of energy that can be sent directly to the enemy. Damage can be quite good - from 75 to 300 units, depending on the level of pumping ability, but the main thing here is far from the damage that you inflict. The fact is that this ability will stop the enemy for almost a second, which can allow you to calmly re-attack or use another skill, as well as give your teammates a chance to join your attack. Naturally, this is not the only skill that this guide to the moon will tell about. "Dota-2" is a project in which each character has four abilities. One of them is the strongest and is called an ult. Each of these abilities will be discussed in more detail below, so you don’t have to worry that you will miss something important.
Moon glaive
The next skill is quite interesting because it is passive. This means that you do not need to activate it every time - and it does not consume mana. What is its effect? How does he help a character like the moon? Dota 2 is a game in which a variety of attacks plays a very important role. That is why this skill is very important, because with its help the moon’s auto-attack passes not one, but two characters (or creeps) of the enemy at once, that is, the projectile released by you bounces. At the same time, it bounces once at the first level, two at the second, and six times at the last. Naturally, the damage is not complete - it decreases by thirty-five percent with each bounce. But even with such conditions, damage is still inflicted, and this is the main thing. Here the important role is played by the question of what to collect to the moon. Dota-2 is a game in which some characters are very dependent on things, so if your moon will not carry, then you need to seriously think about what to buy, so that it works as efficiently as possible.
Lunar blessing
If you want to deal with the difficult question of how to play for the Moon in Dota-2, then you should carefully study the effect of this skill, as it will become one of the most important for you. For a team game, this skill is mandatory - when activated, the Moon creates an aura that allows all players located in the area of this aura to do more standard damage. Each attack of your allies will do 14 more damage at the first skill level - and as much as 38 damage more at the last level. You should also pay attention to the fact that your heroine gets significantly improved night vision while using the aura. So the heroine that you saw in the night aura in the photo is the Moon. "Dota-2" is pleased that the creators approached the drawing of heroes, their movements and related effects very carefully.
Eclipse
Well, it's time to consider what kind of ult has Luna in stock. Dota 2 is a game in which so many heroes are able, with proper use, to bring a lot of rustle with the help of their ults, and the Moon is no exception. So, when this skill is activated, the following happens: day turns into night, and rays (such as in the first skill) begin to beat from the Moon, causing damage to several enemies at once. And now, in order for each item. Everyone knows that the Moon sees wonderful in the night, so a ten-second day-to-night conversion can bring her many benefits. As for the rays, they are based on the level of the heroine’s first skill, that is, they will do as much damage as the first skill does. All the best at the same time acts five, eight or eleven - depending on the level of pumping the ult. The duration of the action also depends on the level of pumping - it can be from 2.4 to 6 seconds, and taking into account the fact that the spacing between the hits of the beam is 0.6 seconds, this means that each of the emitted rays hits the opponents four, eight or ten times. But pay attention, there is a limit on the number of attacks on one enemy - no more than five pieces. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the ability to move to attack as many opponents as possible.
Build
It is worth noting immediately that there are various options for how a build on the moon can be built. Dota-2 is a project in which everything depends on your ability to adapt to the situation and develop your character as efficiently as possible. However, you can single out one of the most effective builds, according to which by the sixth-seventh level you should fully pump the first skill, which will allow you to use ult as effectively as possible. Then grab your aura and lastly pump over the bounces - some gamers recommend not taking the second skill to the last in order to act more effectively with this character. Of course, a lot can change the situation in which your character will be, his team, as well as sets on the moon. "Dota-2" gives you complete freedom, which makes it easy to use, but difficult to learn.
Hero's advantages
First of all, it is worth noting that the Moon has the highest speed of movement in the game. Also, the Moon is developing rapidly due to a good increase in basic indicators, it has a chic set of skills that makes it an ideal nuker, allows you to commit massacres thanks to two passive abilities, and also gives you a huge advantage when using the ult.
Hero Cons
The most important minus is a small force, which translates into low health indicators. The situation with mana is not so bad, but for a hero who relies only on his skills, I would like to have more mana. And, of course, one cannot but mention the far from the most impressive radius of attack. As you already understood from the first two minuses, they can be eliminated due to another drawback - the fact that the Moon relies heavily on objects.
Ligaments
In Dota, a lot depends on how your character combines with other characters. So what are the best ligaments with the moon? Dota-2 does not limit you to a choice of a pair of heroes - but you can say for sure that disablers such as Enigma, Tide Hunter or Ertsheyker are best for you.
