Artillery

Moon Knight functions as an artillery Duelist built around ricochet projectiles, Ankh setups, and grouped-target punishment. His value comes from controlling lanes, forcing enemies out of cover, and turning clustered fights into heavy AoE damage. He fits poke and control comps that want high-angle pressure, choke denial, and fast ultimate tempo.

Strengths

  • Excellent damage into grouped enemies and predictable rotations
  • Ancient Ankh turns corners, chokes, and objective pockets into high-threat zones
  • Strong poke pressure without needing direct line-of-sight on every target
  • Moon Blade adds burst damage and bonus health during clean bounce windows
  • Double jump, hook, and glide give strong high-ground access
  • Hand of Khonshu charges quickly and can punish support ultimates, stalls, and grouped retakes
  • Strong into deployables, illusions, slow rotations, and teams forced through narrow lanes

Weaknesses

  • Damage is highly conditional on enemy grouping, Ankh placement, and bounce angles
  • Poorer single-target pressure when enemies spread out or quickly break Ankh
  • Low base health makes sniper, hitscan, and dive pressure dangerous
  • No true invulnerability, cleanse, or reliable defensive cooldown
  • Hand of Khonshu has delay and can be escaped without crowd-control setup
  • Long sightlines can expose him before he gets safe bounce value
  • Struggles if forced into close duels without Moon Blade or escape resources
  • Needs map knowledge to avoid wasting Ankhs
