#Dota2 #Dota2Gameplay #Luna

Starting items:

Iron Branch icon.png Iron Branch gives some good starting attributes and can be built into Magic Wand icon.png Magic Wand later.
Circlet icon.png Circlet gives good starting attributes and builds into Wraith Band icon.png Wraith Band.
Tango icon.png Tango gives Luna some starting health regeneration, allowing her to trade hits with enemies in lane.
Healing Salve icon.png Healing Salve allows Luna regenerate almost her entire health pool in the early game.
Early game:

Magic Wand icon.png Magic Wand is good on most heroes in order to get some bonus burst health as well as bonus stats.
Boots of Speed icon.png Boots of Speed are core on any hero for extra move speed in order to chase and to escape.
Town Portal Scroll icon.png Town Portal Scroll is helpful to quickly enter fights from across the map. Luna is one of the carries that can turn the tide of battle thanks to Eclipse.
Mid game:

Power Treads icon.png Power Treads increase attributes and attack speed to increase Luna's damage output.
Dragon Lance icon.png Dragon Lance is among the most cost-effective items in the game, providing strength and agility at a reasonable price. The range increase is particularly nice on Luna since her own range is poor and she has no mobility tools to help her get in reach of enemies except her high movement speed. The item is also useful for early-mid game pushing and fighting.
Manta Style icon.png Manta Style is the core item in most games on Luna giving her damage, health, and bonus move speed. Since Manta Style icon.png Manta Style's illusions obtain Moon Glaives passive, they are useful for pushing and increasing damage output.
Mask of Madness icon.png Mask of Madness helps Luna farm neutral and lane creeps with increased movement speed, attack speed, and lifesteal. Disassemble in the late game to build Butterfly and Satanic.
Ghost Scepter icon.png Ghost Scepter gives Luna bonus attribute points, and protection against physical damage dealers. It can be later upgraded into Ethereal Blade icon.png Ethereal Blade to increase the damage output of Eclipse and Lucent Beam.
Late game:

Black King Bar icon.png Black King Bar improves Luna's survivability with spell immunity, countering enemy disables, and strength.
Butterfly icon.png Butterfly offers a great mixture of heavy damage and survivability, giving Luna bonus attack speed, damage, armor, and evasion.
Satanic icon.png Satanic gives Luna some much-needed survivability, offering Luna a burst heal to live through immense amounts of damage in fights.
Situational items:

Hurricane Pike icon.png Hurricane Pike, a situational upgrade of Dragon Lance icon.png Dragon Lance, provides an escaping and chasing tool for Luna.
Eye of Skadi icon.png Eye of Skadi provides great attribute bonuses, which also benefit illusions, and the slow effect will keep enemies within Luna's attack range.
Aghanim's Scepter icon.png Aghanim's Scepter increases the max single target damage of Eclipse. It is great when your team has a powerful initiator such as Faceless Void minimap icon.png Faceless Void and the enemy team has few way to dodge a long distance Eclipse.
Shadow Blade icon.png Shadow Blade can be useful as an escape mechanism and allows Luna to use Eclipse without fear of retaliation.
Linken's Sphere icon.png Linken's Sphere is a situational item against powerful single-target initiations.
Monkey King Bar icon.png Monkey King Bar counters enemies with evasion and increases attack damage.
