Sentinel Wisp provides an incredible amount of vision and stealth-detection as long as the Wisp remains hidden in a bush. This can be used to secure Objectives or to scout out the enemy team.

Natural Perspective is a very useful Talent, which allows you to follow the enemy team's movements and warns you in time, should enemies try to engage on you. Keep in mind that it also makes landing skillshots for your allies a lot easier, since the vision from Natural Perspective enables them to predict the movement paths of their targets.

Hippity Hop offers a significant Movement Speed boost which allows Lunara to rotate around the battlefield much more quickly. This prevents her from getting caught out of position and allows her to follow up on her teammates more easily.

Nature's Culling is good when clearing Minion waves in order to relieve lane pressure. By the same token, it causes Lunara to deal a significant amount of extra damage against enemy Structures and Mercenaries, which makes her a very strong pusher.

Blossom Swell increases Noxious Blossom's radius and range, making it easier to hit and is very useful when playing a Noxious Blossom Build.

Siphoning Toxin is only recommended in Quick Match when your team does not have any Healer. In competitive play, it is only recommended if you already have a decent lane clear Hero and Nature's Culling wouldn't provide enough value.

Splintered Spear is a useful tool to spread Nature's Toxin on several enemies at the same time. This Talent can have outstanding synergy with Unfair Advantage at Level 16.

Choking Pollen adds a huge chunk of burst damage to Lunara if used correctly.

Wild Vigor usually performs worse than Splintered Spear in terms of actual damage increase. Wild Vigor only adds a bit of additional single-target damage and should be picked if that is what you need.

In this section we discuss when and why to pick a given Heroic Ability. If you want to read how they work in detail and/or you are looking for some tips on how to use them, check them out on the Abilities and Strategy page.

Thornwood Vine is a strong poking ability, which allows Lunara to spread Nature's Toxin from a safe distance. Due to its large casting range, Thornwood Vine enables Lunara to outmatch most other Ranged Assassins.

While not team fighting, Thornwood Vine is also a great tool for clearing Minion waves very quickly. However, always track the number of charges and make sure to have at least 1 charge ready before major team fights.

Leaping Strike adds a lot of mobility to Lunara's kit, which allows her to escape dangerous situations more quickly. Thus, it is our prefered choice when playing Lunara as it offers her a lot of utility. During the animation of Leaping Strike, Lunara gets some Unstoppable frames. If timed correctly, Leaping Strike can be used to negate some enemy Abilities (notably Temporal Loop by Chromie).

It is quite important to carefully observe the enemy team's position before using Leaping Strike. Do not use Leaping Strike if it would position yourself close to the rest of the enemy team. Instead, use it as an escape mechanism or to finish off retreating enemies.

Let Them Wither paves the way for incredible late-game damage output since it prevents Crippling Spores from decaying. Combined with Unfair Advantage at Level 16, this will greatly improve both Lunara's damage and chasing potential.

Abolish Magic can be a very useful Talent if the enemy team is heavy on crowd control, such as Stuns, Slows, and Roots. Furthermore, it also counters damage over time effects like Kael'thas's Living Bomb, which can be crucial to save an ally's life.

Greater Spell Shield is an incredibly useful Talent if the enemy team has a lot of Spell Damage at their disposal. If you diligently keep it disabled and only activate it when needed, this Talent can reduce the damage potential of Heroes like Jaina or Chromie significantly, so make sure to carefully analyse the enemy team's composition.

Endless Spores can give some good value if you manage to keep at least 2 Heroes affected by Nature's Toxin. If the enemy team has a heavy backline for example, this Talent should not be picked.

Unfair Advantage is a quite reliable Talent, since Lunara's Crippling Spores can be manually activated to Slow enemy targets, which would then cause them to take increased damage from her Nature's Toxin.

Star Wood Spear allows Lunara to attack from a large distance. This prevents her from exposing herself to the enemy team, which is very important for squishy Ranged Assassins in general.

Invigorating Spores causes Lunara to attack faster and deal more damage to Heroes with high maximum Health. If the enemy frontline is too tanky, this Talent is great to constantly pressure enemy Heroes and taking them down.

Accelerated Contamination adds a big QoL buff to Noxious Blossom and should be picked when going for a Noxious Blossom Build. The recharge rate allows you to dish out more Noxious Blossoms, equalling into more damage.

Forest's Wrath can only be taken if you went for Thornwood Vine at Level 10. However, if you chose Thornwood Vine, the benefits coming from this Talent are too important to be ignored. The increased travelling speed and range allows you to cast Thornwood Vine more precisely, while the increased vision radius allows you to spot enemies earlier.

Boundless Stride provides Lunara with a reliable source of extra mobility, which can be a valuable asset against high-mobility Heroes like Illidan or Genji. If Unfair Advantage was taken at Level 16, Boundless Stride can proc its extra damage even more frequently, thanks to the Slow applied by Leaping Strike.

Intensifying Toxin amplifies Lunara's damage on targets that are affected by 3 Stacks of Nature's Toxin. Thanks to Talents like Splintered Spear at Level 7, spreading poison damages should not be too hard. As such, Intensifying Toxin becomes quite a reliable Talent in the late game. This Talent synergizes very well with Lunara's other Talents.

Galloping Gait adds an incredible amount of mobility to Lunara's kit. The 80% Movement Speed increase allows her to outrun every Hero in the game, which can be used offensively and defensively. Against teams with several Tanks and Melee Assassins, in particular, this Talent allows Lunara to survive on the battlefield and keep a healthy distance to enemy initiators.
