How Luna and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Troll Warlord win 52.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,567 matches.
Stacking two physical damage cores often feels risky, and this pairing shows why it's not a clear win. On paper, Luna's Lunar Blessing aura provides a straightforward damage boost for Troll Warlord, helping him tear through targets faster. In practice, both heroes want to occupy the same safe farming spaces and hit similar item timings. This creates a lot of pressure on the rest of the team to make space. If either Luna or Troll Warlord falls behind, the other doesn't offer the lockdown or utility needed to help them recover. Success depends entirely on whether they can both secure a good start without crippling their own team's map control, which rarely lines up perfectly.
