Is Luna good in Honor of Kings?

Current HOKMeta data lists Luna as Tier B, with 46.6% win rate and 0.5% pick rate. Luna is worth playing if your team needs reliable Jungling pressure, but you should avoid blind-picking into Athena, Augran, Fuzi without peel or defensive item planning.

How do you play Luna in teamfights?

In teamfights, Luna should respect enemy engage range first, then play around the hero's Mage job: dealing damage, protecting carries, or entering after key control is used. When behind, clear waves and preserve cooldowns instead of face-checking fog.

Current patch decision guide

How to decide if Luna is the right pick

Pick Luna if

Pick Luna when your team needs a Tier B Jungling option and the draft gives this hero enough space to play around core cooldowns.

Avoid Luna if

Avoid Luna when the enemy composition directly attacks the hero's main weakness or your team cannot support the Jungling game plan.

Power spikes

First completed core item: check whether the hero can now contest lane or jungle tempo.
Two to three item point: decide whether to group for objectives or keep farming toward the late-game plan.
Final defensive or damage item: adapt to the enemy threat instead of following the build blindly.

Build decision

Start from the recommended build, then adjust based on whether the enemy is forcing burst survival, anti-tank damage, anti-heal, or safer positioning.

Matchup logic

Use the counter page and build compare tool together: first identify the threat, then test whether damage, defense, or utility gives the better answer.

Common mistakes

Following the build without checking the enemy draft.

Taking fights before the first meaningful item spike.

Ignoring wave state and vision before rotating.

What is the best Luna build in 2026?

What is the best arcana for Luna?

What should Luna build first?

Luna usually wants Augur's Word first because the first item should stabilize Jungling clear speed, trading power, or tempo. If the lane is unsafe, adjust boots or a small defensive component first, but do not delay the core damage curve too long.

What should Luna build against tanks?

Use the HOKMeta damage calculator or build compare tool to test penetration, sustained damage, and survivability against tank templates. The best anti-tank item choice depends on whether Luna can keep attacking safely or needs a defensive item to survive the first engage.

Who counters Luna?

Luna is most vulnerable to Athena, Augran, Fuzi. Draft peel, respect engage range, and adjust items when the enemy lineup can dive or chain crowd control.

What lane does Luna play?

Luna is mainly played as a Mage in Jungling. In ranked games, prioritize a stable farm pattern and only rotate early when the wave state keeps your economy safe.
