Tips and Tricks for Playing Moon Knight

1. Play to Your Strengths

• Moon Knight excels in 1v1 scenarios but can contribute to team fights with his ultimate.
• His evasion skills make him hard to pin down, so use mobility to your advantage.

2. Engage and Disengage

• Open with Crescent Slash to deal quick damage, then retreat with Lunar Reflex.
• Keep your opponents guessing by darting in and out of combat.

3. Map Awareness
