Grey Talon is a long range hero that builds spirit power, relying on Charged Shot and Guided Owl to deal damage, or gun, having high consistent DPS and using his Rain of Arrows for better accuracy and positioning.
Strategy
-
Laning Phase / Early Game
Guided Owl does high damage compared to players' max health in the early game making it great or securing kills. Pay attention to the health bars at the top and send out a guided owl when someone is below 1/4 HP. Ask your teammates to ping the target you want to kill to help better navigate Guided Owl.

Ability Tips
Charged Shot
- Charged Shot's wind up time can be effectively reduced by using it during the lift of Rain of Arrows
Rain of Arrows
- Immediately cancelling Rain of Arrows will allow Grey Talon to keep his momentum and use it for mobility and evasion in emergency situations.
Spirit Snare
- Many abilities can be cancelled by throwing the Spirit Snare onto enemies and shooting the centre with Charged Shot.
Guided Owl
- Pressing [Space] can cause Guided Owl to explode early allowing you to kill enemies before the owl hits them, or to hit enemies around corners if your owl would not collide.
Synergies
Grey Talon works well with any hero that can keep an enemy in place to be lined up with a Charged Shot.
Counters
Grey Talon is Countered By:
Drifter's Eternal Night counters most of Grey Talon's Kit. Charged Shot can't be used from a safe distance. Rain of Arrow's height will render you blind to enemies on the ground. Guided Owl will also have limited vision making navigation near impossible.
Grey Talon Counters:
Vindicta is countered by gun Grey Talon in the late game because Grey Talon simply does more damage with more accuracy.
