Build
The link-wall tempo. The Moonlight link is defense AND healing: both linked heroes share +15 + 10% MP hybrid defense - with Flask 60 + Talisman 75 + Blood Wings 90 MP behind it, the link grants roughly +37 hybrid defense to BOTH heroes for 5s, and every refresh keeps it alive. Blood Wings: 90 MP plus the 800 (+100% MP) shield sitting on him while he links - the enemy burns the shield before touching the heal, and +30 MS while shielded keeps his positioning. Flask Blessing: every sub-35% ally he touches gains the 100-per-level shield and refunds him 2s - the rescue layer inside the rotation. Temporal Reign: after the ult (55s to 30.25s at this build's 45% Talisman-cap CDR), his other skills recover 1.5x for 4s - ult into link into Domain, the chain-heal loop that turns his 45-early gating into a mid-game drumbeat. Pull Yourself Together keeps Flicker (and the fight reset) on a shorter leash. 6th slot Holy Crystal: the heal-amp cap - the moon heals bigger.

Counter Builds
Vs Estes: he is cooldown-gated (11s link, 12s domain, 55s ult) - force the ult, disengage, then fight the dead healer. The Moonlight link has a range: break it by spacing, force the re-link. Anti-heal compounds hardest against him: Sea Halberd and Dominance Ice cut his entire kit (60% cut means his ult heals 40%). He is an 85-late: the games he wins reach 20 minutes - end before that. Ixia's range is his listed wall; disruption drafts (Diggie-style) are his food.
