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.

Strategy
Use Lucent Beams to secure ranged creep lasthits if necessary.
Lunar Blessing allows you and your ally to trade stronger and last hit better against the enemy heroes.
Generally two points in Lucent Beam is enough for you to secure last hits in lane and win trades with a decent nuke spell.
Don't forget to use Moon Glaives in lane when trading to dish out extra damage and tank lesser incoming damage.
Target creeps with higher health as the bounces of Moon Glaives does lesser damage when bounced to nearby creeps.
Alert your teammates to stack for you as you can clear stacks easily with Moon Glaives.
Prioritize farming Ancient camps once you have Mask of Madness instead of normal camps unless given free lane and tower pressure.
Make use of Manta illusions to push out lanes and farm extra creep waves that you are not able to with your hero.
Start fights with Moon Glaives activated for extra tankiness and damage over time.
Try to eliminate squishy heroes by jumping on top of them with Blink and bursting them.
Counter Strategy
Luna has short attack range and is susceptible to early harass. Make sure to pressure her everytime she is left alone by her support in lane.
Be mindful about trading with Luna when her support is present as they have high right click damage from Lunar Blessing aura.
Luna's Eclipse does a lot of damage. Keep distance from Luna or share damage with allied units.
Luna farms quickly due to Moon Glaives. Smoke on her, place deep wards and block camps with sentries.
Avoid clumping up in teamfights as Moon Glaives will bounce between you and your allies.
Lore
How had she been reduced to this? She was once the Scourge of the Plains, a merciless leader of men and beasts, and able to sow terror wherever she dared. Now she was far from her homeland, driven half mad from starvation and months of wandering, her army long dead or worse. As she stood at the edge of an ancient forest, a pair of glowing eyes spied on from an elder branch. Something beautiful and deadly sought a meal in the wilting dusk. Without a sound, it turned and left. Fury overtook her. Clutching a rust-eaten dagger, she charged after the beast determined to reclaim even a shred of her past glory, but her quarry would not be caught. Three times she cornered the creature among the rocks and trees, and three times she pounced only to witness its fading shadow darting further into the woods. Yet the full moon shone brightly, and the creature's trail was easy to follow. Arriving in a clearing atop a high hill, the beast's massive feline form sat in the open, attentive and waiting. When the woman brandished her dagger, the creature reared and roared and charged. Death, it seemed, had come for her at long last in this strange place. She stood, calm and ready. A flash of movement, and the beast snatched the dagger from her hand before vanishing into the forest. Stillness. Hooded figures approached. In reverent tones they revealed that Selemene, Goddess of the Moon, had chosen her, had guided her, had tested her. Unwittingly she had endured the sacred rites of the Dark Moon, warriors of the Nightsilver Woods. She was offered a choice: join the Dark Moon and pledge herself to the service of Selemene, or leave and never return. She did not hesitate. Embracing her absolution, she renounced her bloody past, and took up a new mantle as Luna of the Dark Moon, the dreaded Moon Rider, ruthless and ever-loyal guardian of the Nightsilver Woods.
