Grey Talon Released

Grey Talon

Moderate Bow PrecisionHunterArea Denial

Grey Talon controls visible approaches and punishes enemies who cross them predictably. His danger rises when a trap or allied control holds a target for a charged shot. Height helps him find an angle, but hovering also makes his own route easier to read.

OverviewHow to play

Playing the fight

Choose a firing position with cover you can return to when the glide ends. Keep a trap on the route a diver would use to reach you. Charge the piercing shot across a line of enemies when available, without delaying so long that your primary target reaches safety.

Ability decisions

Spirit Snare can be detonated early by Charged Shot, increasing its area and making the combo useful before an enemy steps into the trap. Guided Owl takes your attention away from your body. Start it from cover and release control when staying with the owl would expose your hero.

What to buy for

A charged-shot plan wants reliable hits and spell uptime. A glide-focused weapon plan needs time in the air with targets still visible. Buy survival or movement when opponents can repeatedly force you out of either position; more damage does not keep the firing lane open.

Playing against

Watch the ground for traps before pursuing. Move between cover and avoid lining up behind an ally against the piercing shot. Grey Talon’s glide exposes a readable aerial position; pressure it when you can do so without walking into the trap protecting his landing.

Lore

A founding member of "The Baxter Society", Wesley Grey Talon spent close to 40 years hunting monsters that preyed on man before finally deciding to find a replacement and lay down his bow. Grey Talon's duties had meant that he never spent much time with his wife and kid, and now that his son had started a family of his own he realized that this was his last chance to reconnect with the people he loved.

Retirement suited Wesley. He made up for lost time with his wife. He doted on his grandkids. He cooked dinner for the whole family every Wednesday. He was happy.
