- Spins forward into stance 1A and fires once with her forward gun. One hit, goes into stance 1A. If you do the command quickly, there is a shot at head height first before she switches to stance, SPEED SHOOTING appears under her health bar.

- Spins backwards and shoots upwards with both guns at a 45 degree angle. Four shots, only 2 hits on grounded, goes into stance 1B. If you do the command quickly, the hits come out faster without the spin, all 4 hits connect and SPEED SHOOTING appears under her health bar.

Strategy
Luna has access to fast, full-screen projectiles that do good damage and some chip damage. She can also use her assist at almost any time. 236C > C > B > B is going to be your BnB. All shots are horizontal and Luna moves backwards at the same time. 236B > B > B is useful in keeping Luna low to the ground and hitting crouchers quickly which helps against Ayane, Kaede, and Lilith. If the opponent is fairly close, you can occasionally use Luna's throw as a mixup, though any crouching attack will stuff it. Blast Rain should be used sparingly, but it can help against opponents who rush-in since it evades low attacks, mid attacks, and throws. Gun Port Roar should be avoided even if you can Speed Shoot it since it can simply be ducked under and doesn't reload as many bullets as Charm Bullet.
Now for the bad news.
Her bullets can be proxy guarded, so blindly firing will not get you anywhere, although going through stances without firing will build the super meter really quickly. You also will want to reload by hitting 8 mid-stance most of the time. Note that hitting 8 will likely not reload all of the bullets used. So use Charm Bullet when the opportunity presents itself to avoid running out. Mix up Luna's stances and how many bullets you fire before reloading so your opponent can't take advantage of the "holes" in the shooting string. The "holes" being stances 1B, 2A, and 3A.
Her super does good damage and chip, but it requires one bullet and to be in a final stance and it can be proxy guarded. Also, any combo will not go past 50% even with super. In most cases, you have to hope your opponent is going to attack you as you sit there completely defenseless and then super before the opponent hits you. If you can react fast enough, this is good for you since your opponent has to commit to an attack first as you can still use your assist.
Without any bullets, Luna becomes a huge target, literally. 5B and 5C both whiff crouchers. 5A and 2A are fast, but do not have much more range than others' A button attacks. 5B and j.A will be the closest you have to an anti-air. You are going to need to land a 2C or a counterhit to buy enough time to reload with a Charm Bullet.
