Biography

Marc Spector is the chosen avatar of Khonshu, the Egyptian God of Vengeance, who enhances him with unearthly abilities so he can exact righteous vengeance on the wicked. Moon Knight glides through darkness and bathes the night with his aura, praying on the evil.

Mark was a mercenary who died on a mission before Khonshu chose him and saved his life, giving him a chance at redemption. In return, he also has to battle the enemies of his master across all dimensions and timelines. Now that Doctor Doom threatens to envelop all reality in darkness, Moon Knight is beckoned to help the Avengers.

Abilities

• Crescent Dart (LClick) – Unleash Crescent Darts forward that can bounce between enemies and Ankhs. This is his main attack, a fast projectile that bounces between enemies up to three times. It does 25 dmg per Dart, it doesn’t sound that much, but when enemies are grouped up, or in some choke position, you will farm your ult in no time due to its bouncing effect. There is headshot multiplayer so try to aim for the head.

Suggested Combo

A combination of Left, Right and then Left clicks into the enemy with the good position of Ankhs is often a one-shot combo.

Strengths

His is strongest against grouped-up enemies and chokes due to the bouncing effect of his Cresent Darts and Moon Blade, you will have ult so fast because of the amount of damage you will do in this situation will be insane.

Weaknesses

Moon Knight will have trouble when enemies are playing divided as some dive characters do. Kinda hard to react to fast flankers, due to the slow projectiles he has.

Counters

Hela, Iron Man, Storm, Magik, Psylocke, Black Panther

If you can’t close the gap Hela will counter anything, so I suggest losing her line of sight and using your abilities to get closer, after that you should not have any problems dealing with her.

Iron Man and Storm are also far away from you, even in the air, so your projectile is hard to hit. Try using your hook to get to the higher ground so you can lend some shots, or just try to avoid their line of sight as much as you can.

Most flankers are a problem for Moon Knight. To deal with them you can try to escape to higher ground by pressing your hook directly at your feet and flow slowly after it. The second option is to lend ankh where you think they are gonna be and try to deal as much damage as you can, making them leave. Remember to position yourself so they have to risk a lot to come to you.

Tips and Tricks

Try to spam them as much as possible, your AOE is insane, and due to that your numbers will be big.

Try to combo ult with others because it’s not that hard for enemies to escape it when they see it, or use it to zone, also try to use your Ankh before because it pulls them toward it.

Using his LClick and RClick at the same time can burst the target very fast.

Using your Moonlight Hook directly below your feet will lunch you in the sky, it can be very useful in dangerous spots.
