Luna + Necrophos

Why this works

Taking objectives together can feel effective, since both heroes contribute to pushing after a successful fight. The core idea is that Necrophos provides sustain with Death Pulse, allowing a fragile Luna to stay active longer and deal more damage with her glaives. Luna's initial magic burst from Lucent Beam and Eclipse can bring a target low enough for Reaper's Scythe to guarantee a kill, which in turn heals Necrophos and his team. However, this pairing lacks reliable lockdown. They are dependent on other teammates to initiate or hold an enemy in place, making their combined kill threat less consistent than it might appear.

During mid-game teamfights, the plan is straightforward: Necrophos wades in, softening targets and keeping Luna alive, who then unloads her full damage potential. A successful execution leads to a power play for a tower or Roshan. But opponents will actively try to prevent this. They'll focus on bursting Luna from outside Death Pulse's range or kiting both heroes, exploiting their limited mobility. Ultimately, whether Luna and Necrophos can take over a game often comes down to whether their allies can provide the setup and control that both heroes are missing from their own kits.
