Build philosophy
Luna benefits from Attack speed, On-hit, Magic attack — match items and runes to kit scaling.
Passive: Basic Attacks have two forms, melee and ranged. First Basic Attack in melee form will charge toward the target, and third Basic Attack deals extra damage. Enhanced Basic Attacks and skill damage mark enemies. Magical Attack boost will enhance her Attack Speed.
Arcana: Prioritize runes that boost Attack speed, On-hit, Magic attack for this hero's passive and skill scaling.
4 presets — switch by draft, lane, or CN meta. Default matches Jungling when available.
