How Axe and Luna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe and Luna win 49.05% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,791 matches.
Dealing with an initiation from this duo is tricky. When Axe uses Berserker's Call, he forces enemies into a tight clump, which is exactly where Luna wants them. This provides a perfect target for her Moon Glaives to bounce between multiple heroes for more damage. It also concentrates everyone for her Eclipse, making it much more likely to hit key targets repeatedly and help secure the teamfight.
The pressure really starts once Axe secures his Blink Dagger. He can now initiate from the fog, setting up kills that Luna can join with her ultimate to finish off. To play around this, opponents need to position far apart from each other, which can make it difficult for them to focus a single target or save an ally who gets caught. This forces a more reactive and spread-out playstyle that can be hard to coordinate, giving the Axe and Luna team an advantage in controlling the fight.
