Analysis

Review

Luna is the first Air Defender added to the game that redefined how tanking works in Counter Side. Normally, tanks sit in the frontline and take the brute of the damage coming from the enemy team, but Luna is different. She's hovering in the air while playing on her trumpet and supporting allies by receiving 30% of the damage they take and giving them barriers.

This means that any unit that can't target air will simply walk past her and go straight for your ship - so you need to actually use other Defenders or Strikers to hold the line and Luna will support them. Also, keep in mind that the more ally units are around her, the faster Luna will die - as the 30% damage taken will quickly kill her. This means she's not a good tank for teams that use Soldiers or Summoners or modes where there are a lot of characters present like Raids.

Also, keep in mind that she's part of the Elysium Philharmonic faction, so she works best when paired with Maestra Nequita and her 'violin people' - other C.O. characters from that faction. Actually, now that Luna and Acolyte were released, Elysium decks are a real nightmare in PVP as they are super hard to kill.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- first air Defender in the game,

- can take 30% of the damage allies would take, making them tankier,

- great synergy with other Elysium units,

- low cost for what she brings.

Cons

- will die quickly if there are too many allies near her,

- she's not as tanky as other Defenders, so you need to treat her like a support more.
