Summary & Playstyle

Moon Knight is a duelist who thrives on aggression, unpredictability, and resilience. His shifting identities fuel a mix of burst damage and survivability, allowing him to contest fights against both fragile and sturdy opponents. He excels in skirmishes and side-lane duels where his relentless pressure forces mistakes. The key to his playstyle is momentum. Once Moon Knight commits, he should chain abilities to overwhelm targets before they can recover. He pairs well with strategists who provide vision or healing, letting him extend his aggressive trades. His unique survivability also makes him a dangerous flanker. His weaknesses include susceptibility to crowd control and ranged poke. Vanguards with stuns or strategists with zoning can disrupt his flow. Despite this, Moon Knight remains a fearsome brawler capable of turning isolated fights into decisive victories.
