Moon Knight is one of the most popular Duelists in the game, because he is easy to learn but really punishing when you play him right. His projectile can bounce between enemies, allowing him to rack up damage quickly. However, playing as Moon Knight requires decent aim and tracking skills to be truly effective.

How to Play Moon Knight: Combos and Tactics
Moon Knight is all about burst damage. You want to keep your distance and time your abilities just right. His Crescent Dart (LMB) throws bouncing darts that can hit multiple enemies, while his Moon Blade (RMB) is a heavy single-shot that really hurts the enemies. Both take time to travel, so you’ll need to predict where enemies are going and aim for their chest or head.
The Ancient Ankh (E) is Moon Knight’s key tool. It automatically targets nearby enemies and pulls them toward the center, making it perfect for setting up kills. You can have two Ankhs active at the same time, so use them to control space and trap enemies where you want them. Here are some Ankh tips for you:
- Pre-fire: Throw your ankh first, then start shooting before it even lands to hit enemies right away.
- Use high ground for a better view and targeting.
- Save one Ankh as a panic button when fast enemies try to jump you.
Use your Moonlight Hook (F) and Rising Leap (SPACE) to get to high spots early in fights. The grappling hook is pretty slow and not great for combat, but it’s perfect for positioning. High ground makes everything easier, you can control fights better, and land perfect Ankhs from above.
Moon Knight’s ultimate, Hand Of Khonshu (Q), drops AoE damage over an area, so use it when enemies are grouped or crowd-controlled. Team up with heroes like Spider-Man or Doctor Strange to lock enemies in.
However, Moon Knight struggles against flying heroes, shields, and fast assassins, so play smart. Keep your distance, use your ankhs defensively, and use your range to stay in control.
