Moon Knight is the kind of fighter that’s best at dealing major damage from a distance. Try to maintain distance between you and the enemies as Moon Knight won’t be as good of a Frontliner.
Whenever you find yourself cornered, use the Rising Leap, Night Glider, or Moonlight Hook abilities to quickly move to a safe distance. If there are no buildings around you, aim the Moonlight Hook attack at the ground and you will be launched into the air. If coupled with Rising Leap at the right time, you can jump to a very high distance. The Night Leap will help you to move to another place with ease.
The Crescent Dart attack is simple but can help bring down the health of enemies who are standing closer to each other. The darts bounce off of them, dealing damage to everyone near it.
The Ancient Ankh might be the best ability Moon Knight Has. Once launched, it can help bring enemies towards the center and then attack them. Throwing the Ankh below you and firing it can help you damage enemies near you. It also tends to bounce, further helping to target more enemies. The same goes for Moon Blade, which is bouncy too.
What’s special about the Triple Eclipse Melee attack is that it can help you damage enemies while also pushing them away from you. This can help you get some much-needed room in an intense battle.
Moon Knight’s Ultimate, Hand of Khonshu, can help you kill many enemies at once. It will open up a portal in the sky that will send out talons on enemies, crushing them entirely. The only disadvantage is that it covers a small area that you choose. It’s best to use this ability when enemies are grouped up in one place or you want to clear out an area for your team to stay at.
Moon Knight: Best Team Combination
Moon Knight’s best synergy will be with Cloak & Dagger since they have a powerful team-up ability together. Other characters that can be grouped with Moon Knight are The Punisher, Magneto, and Luna Snow.
Luna Snow can help Moon Knight heal whenever they are surrounded by enemies. She has the ability to simultaneously damage and heal everyone around her. Luna can also heal a teammate even if they are far away from her, using her Share the Stage ability. This can help a character like Moon Knight have full health even when fighting from a distance.
The Full Moon attack with Cloak and Dagger can increase Moon Knight’s mobility and the damage that he does to enemies. Being invisible can help you attack formidable enemies with ease. The Punisher and Magneto can make up for the close-range attacks that Moon Knight lacks.
Watch out for characters like Hawkeye, Psylocke, and Black Widow, as they can quickly bring Moon Knight’s health down to zero. To deal with such players, try to learn the right place to put the Ankhs.
