How to counter Luna:

Beginning of the game:

It is crucial that you will not allow Luna to farm and her allies to stack neutral creeps, especially ancient ones. Before getting ultimates, Luna is pretty weak, which can be taken advantage of.

Mid-game:

It's also important to keep stopping Luna from farming. Try to kill her, farm enemy stacks, and block neutral creep spawn points in enemy jungle. If Luna has spent her ultimates and it is on cooldown, this is a great reason to impose a fight.

Late Stage:

At late, Luna is extremely dangerous. It's important to keep a good position in the fight and, if you can't escape Eclipse, don't stay alone, as her ultimates deal a lot of damage on a single target.

Overall strategy

In team fights, it's important to watch Luna's positioning due to her Glaives to avoid unnecessary damage and health loss. Use crowd control and silences to hinder her active participation in fights. Don't allow her to farm too much, as her damage increases with every item. Try to slow down her growth and prevent her from actively farming in the lane.
