How to Play Luna Snow in Marvel Rivals

Luna Snow is the support that rewards simply staying alive. Her icicles heal and damage in the same throw, Ice Arts turns her primary into a piercing beam, and Fate of Both Worlds is the only ultimate in the game that swaps between a team heal and a team damage boost mid-cast. She is rated medium difficulty because her tools are straightforward — the ceiling is entirely in Idol Aura target selection and freeze timing.

Role and difficulty

Strategist. Luna Snow has 275 health. Difficulty Medium (2/5). She fights at mid-range with her team, skating between cover, and freezes divers with Absolute Zero when they commit.

Idol Aura and the heal-or-boost ultimate

Light & Dark Ice throws sets of three icicles that damage enemies and heal allies for 20 on hit, with 40 on headshots against enemies. Ice Arts upgrades your primary into a single piercing beam with a larger hitbox and slower fire rate — it heals everyone in the line, so it is your team-fight button. Absolute Zero freezes one enemy for 3 seconds for 50 damage on a 12-second cooldown; attacking the frozen target frees them early, so call the freeze for your team. Share the Stage grants Idol Aura to an ally or yourself: whenever Luna heals anyone, the Idol Aura target receives 35% of that healing — put it on the Duelist diving the backline, not the Vanguard standing in the open. Fate of Both Worlds lets you swap between rapid healing and a damage boost at will, so read the fight and switch mid-performance. Cryo Heart regenerates 30 health per second for 3 seconds after using Ice Arts, Absolute Zero, or the ultimate.

How to play Luna Snow

  1. Default to Light & Dark Ice at mid-range; the icicles heal and damage in the same throw.
  2. Cast Ice Arts for team fights — the piercing beam heals every ally in the line.
  3. Put Idol Aura on the ally who is diving or taking focused damage, and re-apply after deaths.
  4. Freeze the diver with Absolute Zero, then let your team delete the frozen target.
  5. Swap Fate of Both Worlds between healing and damage boost as the fight turns — the switch is free.
  6. Skate between cover between fights; stopping forward ends the move speed.

Matchups

Luna Snow sustains any team that fights near her and her freeze punishes overextended divers. Spread teams that avoid the beam and high-mobility heroes that dodge the icicles are her problem, and her limited self-sustain makes her a repeat dive target. Fate of Both Worlds is one of the few ultimates that can out-heal a team wipe in progress.

Strengths (per the wiki):

  • Long-range Strategist with high healing output, capable of enhancing those abilities and having access to powerful area-of-effect restoration.
  • Has slightly higher max health compared to other Strategists.
  • Luna Snow is the only Strategist in the game with two key passives:
    • Cryo Heart grants her a small heal-over-time for 3 seconds whenever she casts Ice Arts or Absolute Zero.
    • Smooth Skate, grants Luna Snow 60% increased movement speed and grants her 100% increased jump height after she moves forward for 0.5 seconds.
  • Her primary fire, Light & Dark Ice, shoots three frost shards per round that deal damage to enemies and heals allies.
  • Her secondary fire, Absolute Zero, shoots a large block of ice that deals damage on impact and freezes enemies for 2.7 seconds.
    • This is a versatile tool that can be used for defense to avoid dives, or for offense to pin down a key target.
  • ** This ability can even interrupt Ultimates, such as Scarlet Witch’s Reality Erasure or Spider-Man’s Spectacular Spin.
  • Ice Arts temporarily enhances her primary fire for 6 seconds, shooting five shards of ice instead of three for increased power.
    • These projectiles have piercing properties, able to both damage enemies and heal allies caught in its straight line trajectory.
  • Share the Stage has Luna Snow placing a buff called Idol Aura, which converts all healing she does to other characters to the target of this buff.
    • If Luna Snow directly heals the target with Idol Aura, they gain 35% increased healing from her abilities.
    • This is a versatile healing tool that can be placed on key targets such as Vanguards and other Strategists, or placed on mobile heroes such as Spider-Man or Iron Man.
  • Her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, has Luna Snow begin dancing while providing one of two different effects that can be toggled: healing or damage boost. This ability lasts for 10 seconds and affects all allies within the radius around her.
    • The healing dance provides a massive healing-per-second and bonus health.
  • ** In addition, she also heals all allies a single time per cast for a large amount.
  • ** This is the most powerful healing ability in the game, being a clutch in moments where the team is getting bombarded by enemy fire. It can change the course of the battle, being especially useful to contest objectives since her entire team will be very hard to take down even with focused fire.
    • The damage boost dance provides 40% increased damage from all sources.
    • Luna Snow also gains 40% increased movement speed during the dance.
    • Luna Snow becomes immune to all forms of crowd control while dancing.
  • Smooth Skate’s effects end if Luna Snow stops moving forward.
  • Has limited self-sustain.
  • Susceptible to dives.
  • Relies on positioning to get the most out of Ice Arts.
  • Allies that die under the effects of Share the Stage will lose the buff upon respawning.
  • Unable to use other abilities during Fate of Both Worlds.

Team-ups

  • Atlas Bond (with White Fox, Season 9.0: The Mystery of Thebes): Unleash a spirit fox forward that Charms enemies while healing allies in its path. Activating the ability instantly cleanses all negative status effects on Luna Snow. Enhanced: When teaming up with White Fox, the spirit fox automatically returns after reaching its maximum distance, and the self-cleanse is retained.
  • Duality Dance (with Adam Warlock, Season 9.0: The Mystery of Thebes): Cast Soul Bond to tether all characters within range. Attacking tethered enemies or healing linked allies restores your Health. Enhanced: When teaming up with Adam Warlock, scoring critical hits with Light & Dark Ice reduces the cooldowns of Absolute Zero and Ice Arts.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving Idol Aura on a safe ally while the diving Duelist gets no healing
  • Attacking the frozen target yourself and freeing them before your team reacts
  • Using Ice Arts for poke instead of saving it for the team fight line-up
  • Standing still — Smooth Skate ends the moment you stop moving forward
  • Holding Fate of Both Worlds in one mode through a fight that has already turned
