New guide: Moon Knight Blood Hunt build for Nightmare 260 and 300, covering Lunar Glide gear, traits, Ankh stacking, and Arcana priorities.

This Moon Knight build clears Nightmare 260 without much effort and Nightmare 300 with proper gear only. The entire loop revolves around Lunar Glide enchantment, permanent flight, and Ankhs stacked in one spot. Moon Knight will never die during this rotation, he just refuses to hit hard enough without the right gear, which is the tragedy of playing a hero built on style over substance.
Moon Knight sits in an odd place in the current Blood Hunt tier list, well below Blade, Squirrel Girl, and Thor in raw output, but nearly untouchable in survivability. The Moon Knight Ankh placement trick of stacking every Ankh in one spot generates far more damage than spreading them out in solo queue, though squads should spread Ankhs since other players will scatter aggro anyway. He can fly indefinitely, dodge almost every ground threat, and only flying enemies or a lucky Kingpin clone will interrupt the vacation.
Every boss dies quickly once all Ankhs land on the target, since damage scales as the Ankhs level up mid fight. Cap Wolf occasionally strips an Ankh off, which is annoying but not fatal, you simply reapply it. Kingpin's clone summon is dangerous and demands active dodging. Dracula is the one fight this build cannot solo, since Moon Knight kills swords slower than almost any hero in the roster, so bring a squad or skip him entirely.
The single mandatory requirement for this entire build is bringing your Lunar Glide firing interval down to 0.05 seconds, everything else is optional decoration.
| Trait | Priority | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Ability cooldown reduction | Mandatory | Returns Ankhs faster, primary attack speed traits are dead weight since darts fire from the glider, not your left click |
| Primary weapon damage bonus | Mandatory | All dart damage counts as primary damage, not ability damage |
| Fist of Khonshu (one point) | Mandatory | Pulls every mob on the map into your Ankh cluster, including flyers |
| Moon God's Chosen (one point) | Optional | Makes the alt itself deal respectable damage on its own |
| Any alt tree investment beyond one point | Skip | The alt never scales into meaningful damage no matter how many points you dump in |
The Moon Knight traits spread naturally leaves a dead node in the middle of the tree since Moon Rise offers nothing without max Ankh upgrades already secured, so accept the wasted point and move on with your life.
Perfect gear is not a suggestion for Nightmare 300, it is the entry fee, since a hero like Thor or Blade clears the same content on mediocre rolls while Moon Knight demands near flawless stats to keep pace.
Most heroes benefit from damage reduction Arcana after recent patches, Moon Knight does not, because he almost never struggles to survive and constantly struggles to output enough damage. Prioritize total damage bonus, then chain lightning and deep freeze for their spread tick damage, then lethal strike, then indomitable if points remain. Skip close range and boss damage Arcana entirely on this build.
A Nightmare 260 clear is genuinely easy and does not require perfect gear, enhancement level 10 across your loadout is close enough. Nightmare 300 is where the build falls apart without ideal rolls, DPS output drops noticeably in that range and Moon Knight becomes the slowest clear on the leaderboard rather than the fastest. If units are your only goal, stop grinding at 260 and save yourself the suffering.
This entire Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt guide approach only works because Moon Knight's flight uptime is nearly permanent, rotating grapple and double jump keeps you airborne almost constantly, and the longer you stay up there, the more passive damage the crescent darts rack up without any extra input from you.
The build rewards patience over mechanical skill, it is boring to execute and that is precisely the appeal, you fly in circles while numbers tick upward and nothing on the ground can touch you.

Yes, but only with near perfect gear and full Lunar Glide investment, otherwise the run will be painfully slow.
Lunar Glide enchantment must reach a 0.05 second firing interval, typically S tier plus one supporting tier.
Dracula, because Moon Knight kills the summoned swords too slowly, a squad is required for that fight.
Stack them solo for maximum damage, spread them in squads since other players pull mob aggro elsewhere.
No, prioritize total damage bonus, chain lightning, and deep freeze instead, since survival was never the problem.
