Eclipse and lunar blessing so hurt

bkb, invis, retreat while ulti if she goes bkb, if not then stun her to death
tbh to deal with her you need to counter her in lane, block the ancients camps to avoid stacks and your own team needs a proper hard carry like medusa for example to win teamfights

don't even need bkb at all.

just get dagon at max level early on and then uses it on her.

luna's range is not that high enough.

if you play as zeus, get dagon at max level with his ult will most likely kill luna.

luna's ult is next to useless in late game since there will be too many heroes whose hp is very high even if you get aghanim's scepter.

hex, stun, mini-stun(mkb), abyssal blade(for melee heroes only), cyclone.......etc.

luna is more of dps, damage type of hero. (so you need to get items that increase her attack speed, damage, agility, don't go and get items that gives strength and damage but never increase attack speed)

This is not a good advice. I would never prefer a maxed dagon over a BKB especially when game goes to late (and the topic is named "how to deal with Luna LATE")

By the way :

BKB and satanic are common choices in pub games for Luna so your dagon is likely to become useless late game.

I suggest a harder carry...

luna's ult is next to useless in late game to very late game. the reasons are

1) in late game to very late game, the fights will become team fights of 5 vs 5 or 5 vs 4, so because of that, luna's ult will not strike the same person in team fights that very often.

2) ult doesn't hit invisible targets. so getting silver edge will causes her ult to become wasted.

3) bkb is yes, but since its time limit drops per use, so it is not a good option in the end.

4) blademail (this one is way far better than bkb since it reflects back luna's ult back to her)

5) stay with your own creeps when she is around, she will never use her ult at all.

6) luna's ult doesn't pierce spell immunity.

heroes that can counter her easily in a 1 vs 1 battle

i) juggernaut (due to his ult that makes him invulnerable)

ii) anti mage (due to his mana break passive ability)

iii) phantom lancer (his images plus diffusal blade)

.....etc.

The best solution? Don't let it go to late.

If you can't avoid it, pick up heroes that can close the gap and burst her down. Meepo, AM, PA(maybe. I don't play her), Slark.

Basically any melee carry worth playing. Close the gap and lock her down.

Easy. Kick her butt before she gets out of hand.
If her team baits out bkbs in teamfights, she'll easily teamwipe the opponent. Refresher works wonders for her lategame.

Her 2nd and 3rd makes her Farms like so fast , I once even made the score 20-5 with my legion commander vs a Luna but somehow after she got denominator and manta , that Luna starts to farm and pushes like hell and to me perspective , that enemy Luna is so tank like medusa but yet hit so hard
