How Dark Willow and Luna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Luna win 49.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,195 matches.
Setting up a kill with Cursed Crown can feel effective, as it gives Luna a window to freely attack a stunned target. In teamfights, the combined magic damage from Eclipse and Bedlam is considerable, especially if enemies are grouped up and lack magic immunity. Dark Willow provides the lockdown and initial burst that helps Luna secure kills before her own physical damage has fully scaled. This pairing relies on coordinating their spells to burst down a single target quickly, creating a numbers advantage for the rest of the fight.
The plan often falls apart due to a shared weakness: both heroes are fragile and lack mobility. If the enemy team gets the jump, neither Luna nor Dark Willow has a reliable escape and can be deleted before contributing. Terrorize can also be a mixed blessing, sometimes scattering enemies that Luna wants to hit with her bouncing Moon Glaives. Ultimately, the duo depends on being the ones to initiate, because they struggle to survive being initiated on, making their performance together inconsistent from game to game.
