How Baba beats Grey Talon

Mystic vs Mystic

Spell duels are cooldown trades. Use yours after theirs.

Your game plan as Baba

A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.

Lane
Trade with Threadsap. It steals Spirit, so every hit swings the lane. Granny Long Legs gives you an escape and a knockback kick.
Mid game
Throw Baba’s Brew into contested chokes and watch the cycle: barrier for allies, silence or burn for enemies.
Late game
Feed The Birds wins teamfights that last — start the channel on a grouped team behind your frontline.

How to beat Grey Talon

A hunter who wins fights before they start — from a rooftop, with a bow.

  • 01Dive him; Grey Talon is fragile up close.
  • 02Walk around armed Spirit Snares — they curse and slow.
  • 03Use cover. A clear sightline is his whole game.
