A founding member of the highly respected monster hunting organization [[The Baxter Society]], Wesley Grey Talon happily retired after 40 years of service to support his extended family. He was living well until he was alerted that that his son and daughter-in-law had died in a mysterious house fire. With not much time left, he dedicated the remainder of his life towards hunting the [[Friends of Humanity|perpetrators]] of the arson, bow in hand.

{{Ability card v2

| notes      =
| ability_num=2
* Targets can only be hit once per multishot.
* Each shot is separated by approximately 2°, resulting in a 8° spread between the furthest two shots.
* Rain of Arrows works with {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}}, allowing Grey Talon to shoot 25 arrows.
** Split Shot's multishot is applied before Rain of Arrows', regardless of order used; Their combined spread is approximately 28° between the furthest two shots.
* Rain of Arrows grants increased air mobility, +{{DataProp|Rain of Arrows|AirMoveIncreasePercent}}% [[Air Dash]] distance, and the ability to use any number of Air Dashes while active.
* Grey Talon can Air Dash in any direction including Down Dash at any point immediately after casting. He cannot Air Jump or grab [[Ziplines]] while the ability is active.
* Holding a direction while activating Rain of Arrows influences the direction Talon launches in. If cast without holding a direction, Talon jumps backwards.
| tips        =
* Cancelling Rain of Arrows while launching keeps the launch momentum, which can be used for mobility and evasion.

|-|(3) Spirit Snare=

{{Ability card v2
| ability_num = 3
| hero_name=Grey Talon
| notes      =
| ability_num=3
* Spirit Snare can be detonated by a {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}} immediately after it's thrown, including while midair before it deploys its AoE visuals.
* The hitbox to manually detonate a deployed snare is indicated by the smoke emitted from its center.
| tips        =
* At angles where the center of a deployed snare is less visible, aim {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}}s slightly away from the surface the snare landed on.
* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.
* Placing a trap in narrow hallways where enemies are likely to ambush you from (or escape to) can force them to either be cursed, slowed, and slightly damaged, or take a less ideal path.
* Manual detonations can be used to quickly [[interrupt]] and weaken an enemy, and bypass the snare's {{DataProp|Spirit Snare|ArmTime}}s Arm Time.

{{AbilitySection
|-|(4) Guided Owl=
| hero_name   = Grey Talon
{{Ability card v2
| ability_num = 4
| hero_name=Grey Talon
| notes       =
| ability_num=4
* To get a "Spirit Power Per Kill" [[stack]], the enemy has to die within 4s after getting hit.
| notes =
* If Grey Talon dies while controlling the owl, it will float uncontrollably until it times out and explodes.
* To get a "Spirit Power Per Kill" [[stack]], the enemy has to die within 3s after getting hit.
* T3 Execute deals [[Pure Damage]].
* If Grey Talon dies while controlling the owl, it will automatically detonate.
** The spirit damage of the owl will hit before checking if the opponent is within the execute threshold.
* Grey Talon's line of sight while controlling owl is based on the owl's hitbox. This creates a bug in which enemies cannot hit [[Melee Attacks]] and some [[Abilities]] on Grey Talon if the owl is out of the enemy's line of sight. However, they can still hit him with weapons.
* The owl can enter [[Vent]]s, if entering at an aligned horizontal direction.
| tips        =
* Immediately flying the owl upwards after the initial cast time can give a better view and an easier path to a target.
* Guided Owl can also be used as a targeted, long-range stun, capable of interrupting hard-to-reach channeled ults from behind cover.
