Moon Knight is a character who effectively battles at long and medium range thanks to his attacks that ricochet between opponents and his totems (Ankh). His ability to control the battlefield and deal damage from a distance makes him dangerous, especially when he maintains distance. Here's how you can successfully counter him.

Moon Knight Abilities to Consider:

1. Crescent Dart — shuriken attack that ricochets between enemies and Ankhs, dealing 25 damage per hit.
2. Moon Blade — heavy strike that ricochets between enemies, dealing 80 damage.
3. Ancient Ankh — a totem that pulls enemies in and deals 20 damage. Moon Knight uses it to ricochet attacks and control enemies.
4. Night Glider and Moon Hook — provide him mobility, allowing him to quickly change positions to avoid close combat.
5. Hand of Khonshu — an ultimate ability that deals significant blows to all enemies in the attack zone.

Strategies Against Moon Knight:

1. Close the Distance as Quickly as Possible

Moon Knight is strong at medium and long distances, so play as characters who have abilities to close the distance. Use:

• Characters with dashes: Choose heroes with quick movements like teleports or fast forward dashes. This will help you avoid long-distance attacks and get closer to him.
• Tanky heroes: Heroes with high health and defense can withstand long-distance attacks and reach close combat, where Moon Knight is less effective.

2. Break the Ankhs

One of the main threats is the Ankhs he uses for ricochet attacks. Destroy them to reduce his abilities to control the fight. They not only deal damage but also help him hit you more easily due to ricochets.

3. Control His Mobility

Moon Knight uses Night Glider and Moon Hook for movement, but these abilities have cooldowns. Identify the moment when he has used them, and take advantage of this to trap him or attack when he cannot escape quickly.

4. Be Cautious of His Ultimate Attack

Hand of Khonshu is a powerful ability that can deal major damage in seconds. When Moon Knight starts using it, try employing defensive abilities or quickly exiting the attack zone.

5. Focus on Team Abilities

Moon Knight has a team ability called Full Moon, which makes him invisible when paired with other characters. If you see him starting to use it, be ready to use AoE (Area of Effect) attacks to reveal him or attack the spheres of light and darkness.

Heroes Effective Against Moon Knight:

• Melee heroes: They can quickly reach Moon Knight and deal substantial damage in close combat, where he is less dangerous.
• Heroes with demolishing abilities: Characters who can quickly destroy Ankhs will significantly hinder Moon Knight's use of ricochet attacks.
• Mobile heroes: Players with high mobility can effectively chase Moon Knight and avoid his attacks.

Conclusion

Moon Knight is effective at medium and long ranges due to ricocheting attacks and mobility. To counter him, you need to close the distance quickly, destroy his Ankhs, and control his mobility.
