Death Prophet vs Luna

How this matchup plays

Casting Exorcism near Luna often feels like a waste. Her Moon Glaives bounce between the ghosts, clearing them out extremely fast. Since a huge part of Death Prophet's teamfight damage and survivability comes from her ultimate, having it nullified so easily is a massive problem. The ghosts are fragile and often clumped up around Death Prophet or her targets, making them perfect fodder for Luna's glaives to multiply. Without the damage and subsequent healing from returning spirits, Death Prophet is left exposed and lacks the impact she needs to run down a team.

This dynamic forces Death Prophet to play very cautiously. She can't simply press her ultimate and run at the enemy backline. Instead, she has to hope her team can burst Luna down before the glaives get going, or try to use her ultimate after a key enemy is already dead. Luna, meanwhile, builds her normal damage items and treats the ghosts as a minor nuisance she clears out incidentally while attacking her primary target. By the mid-game, Luna's farm is usually accelerating, and her ability to shred through the Exorcism spirits only gets stronger, securing her control over major teamfights.
