Moon Knight Team-Up Abilities
Heroes Needed
Cloak & Dagger
With Cloak & Dagger in your team, Moon Knight can use Full Moon to create a dark realm. In this realm, he becomes invisible.
Moon Knight
Full Moon is one of the simpler Team-Up abilities in the game. It may not seem like much, but if you are crafty with its uses, you can be quite a pain to deal with.
The key to using this ability is its perfect placement. Full Moon’s dark realm has quite a limited area where you are invisible.
You could use it after flanking an enemy and turning invisible. This could create a diversion and confuse the enemy about where the attacks are coming from.
Moon Knight Counters & How To Deal With Them
In situations where your enemy team includes flying enemies or someone with great mobility, likeIron Man,Spider-man, or Vanguards that have their own walls, likeGroot, Moon Knight may start to feel like a not-so-optimal pick.
Some of the heroes that are the bane of the Moon Knight’s existence are the ones that can close in on him too quickly or the ones that can take care of him from a long, safe distance.
As Moon Knight, you should always be on the lookout for a sudden ambush from Spider-man orIron Fist. These can do a lot of damage and escaping them can be quite a bit of a hassle.
Punisherwith his Culling Turret is another enemy that can be a pain to deal with for Moon Knight. Lastly, you also need to be careful of snipers likeHawkeyeandBlack Widow.
Depending on the enemy that you are fighting, your fighting strategy has to change. When fighting close-range melee fighters, you need to create some distance. While dealing with snipers requires you to close in on them.
The medium range is ideally optimal for Moon Knight, so your goal should be to achieve that against most enemies.
Best Team Comps With Moon Knight
For the strategist,Cloak & Daggeris the go-to hero. Full Moon is a very nice ability to have, as Moon Knight doesn’t have many escape options. So, he needs as much help as he can get.
But what makes Cloak & Dagger an even better choice is you get both a healer and a damage dealer. So, depending on your team’s needs, they can switch around.
Peni Parkeris an interesting Vanguard to pair up with Moon Knight. Her Cyber-Web Snare is great for immobilizing the enemy, which will let Moon Knight aim for the head better and secure the kills.
Peni can also set up Arachno mines near Moon Knight to surprise any flanking enemies with some nice damage. This will make 1v1s easier for Moon Knight and increase his chances of eliminating them.
Finally, if you are looking for a duelist to use with Moon Knight, you should try outPunisher. The reason he works well with Moon Knight is that his guns are well-suited for both close and long-range combat. Pairing this up with Moon Knight’s medium to long-range attacks, most enemies should not be a problem.
