Tips And Tricks To Play Luna Snow
In the spawn room, the first thing you should do as a Luna player ischeck your team and decide who to give the Idol Aura(Share the Stage abilities) to, in order topassively heal them while you heal others.
Depending on your team’s composition, you generally want to give it tothe Tank,another Strategist, orsomeone who is flankingor fighting from a distance.
This allows them to keep restoring HP because, for the majority of the time you play Luna, you’ll be healing other allies. Therefore,granting them passive healing is important for their survival.
Don’t worry, you can always switch the Idol Aura between allies when necessary, and this ability has no cooldown.
Luna’s Smooth Skate is perfect for mobility. While it doesn’t always give you enough time to escape an enemy ambush,it helps you get back to your teammates quickly. you’re able to also use the jump function toreach higher groundand continue healing from a safe distance.
As mentioned before, you’ll face flankers, given how useful Luna can be. If you find yourself in a 1v1 situation,start by using Ice Arts, which guarantees that you’ll heal yourself after dealing damage. The ice shards alsohave larger hitboxesandinfinite ammo for the duration of the skill activation, so don’t get cheap with them and spam them.
If you’re confident, you can try launching Absolute Zero to freeze the enemy and deal quick damage.
In addition to that, Absolute Zero is a perfect ability to shut down enemy abilities and ultimates, but timing is key - otherwise, it’s wasted.
Playing with Luna doesn’t restrict you from staying close to your allies,especially if you have good aim. Feel free to scan the area and ping any enemies trying to flank.
The best part about Luna’s kit is her ultimate, which is arguably the best ultimate in the Strategist category and one of the best in the game.
It grantsa very high healing output to any allies within its range, and you canswitch to damage mode once they’re at full health to help win the fight. Alternatively, you may use it to shut down ultimates or make them go to waste, such as Mantis, Luna, Rocket Raccoon, Psylocke and so on.
Butyou have to time your ultimate correctlytocontestorturn the tide of the fight; otherwise, it will go to waste.
