More Luna guides

This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.

Overview

Turbo is regular Dota sped up: more gold and experience, faster respawns and a quicker courier. Games are shorter, so early fights matter more and the late game comes sooner. Turbo speeds everything up — more gold, faster respawns — so skip the long farming phase, rush Manta Style and join fights much earlier than in a normal match.

Strengths

  • Reliable stun: Lucent Beam sets up kills and interrupts enemy channels.
  • Eclipse can swing team fights: it hits several enemies at once.
  • Heavy magical burst: Valve lists it as a Nuker.

Weaknesses

  • No escape in the kit: without good positioning and vision, Luna is easy to catch.
  • Item-dependent: weak until Manta Style is done.

When to use it

Turbo gives more gold and faster respawns: skip most laning items and go straight for your core, then the damage items.

3Fighting

Walk in after the enemy has used their key disables and hit whatever you can reach safely: your survival is the fight. Turbo speeds everything up — more gold, faster respawns — so skip the long farming phase, rush Manta Style and join fights much earlier than in a normal match.

Tips

  • Turbo speeds everything up — more gold, faster respawns — so skip the long farming phase, rush Manta Style and join fights much earlier than in a normal match.
  • Use Eclipse in every big fight: in this mode there's always another one coming.
  • Don't chase alone: the enemy is always grouped.
  • Buy your core items first: in Turbo you get them much earlier.
